An Appearance object that holds a collection of skins.
Use the Add method to add
or replace skins to the control. The skin method, in it's simplest form, uses
a single graphic file (*.ebn) assigned to a part of the control. By using a
collection of objects laid over the graphic, it is possible to define which
sections of the graphic will be used as borders, corners and other possible
elements, fixing them to their proper position regardless of the size of the
part. Use the Background
property to apply a skin to a part of the control. Use the Appearance
property to change the visual appearance of the control's frame.
