Stardock has released DirectSkin 4.5. DirectSkin is a development library that allows developers to make their Windows programs fully skinnable.
Version 4.5 of DirectSkin has optimized support for Microsoft .NET applications and is being used by companies ranging from GE Medical to ATI to make their programs skinnable.
"DirectSkin from Stardock uses the native drawing features of Microsoft Windows XP to make it easy for .NET Framework-based developers to create flexible, attractive user interfaces for their applications," says Scott Davidson, Great Lakes General Manager, Small and Midmarket Solutions & Partners for Microsoft Corp. "This reduces development costs and brings new products to market sooner."
A demo of the DirectSkin library is available for developers to try on their programs.
