  • change nothing. The controls that use the styles from the former style sheet will not be modified. We advise you to associate these controls with styles from the new style sheet.
    The styles of the former style sheet can be added to the new custom style sheet during the next window opening.
  • add the styles found in the former style sheet to the new custom style sheet.

Creating a style for a type of control in the custom style sheet of current project

1. Create a control of this type in a window of your project via the "Creation" pane. For example, to create a new button style, create a button control.
2. Display the window for editing the style sheets ("Choose a style" from the popup menu of the control).
3. Click the "Create" button. The style description window appears.
4. Specify the desired style options ("General" and "Style" tabs) and validate. This new style is automatically added to the custom style sheet of the current project. This style can be applied to the controls of the same type in all the projects that use this style sheet.

1. Go to the "Style" tab in the control description window ("Description" in the popup menu).
2. Modify the desired style options and validate ("OK" or "Apply" button). The window for modifying the control style is displayed.
3. Select the "Add this style to the project" box, enter the name of this new style and validate ("OK" button).

Modifying a style for a type of control in the custom style sheet of the current project

1. Select a control of this type in one of your project's windows. For example, to modify the style of a button, select a button control.
2. Display the window for editing the style sheets ("Choose a style" from the popup menu).
3. Select the style to modify.
4. Click "Modify". The style description window appears.
   Remark: The "Modify" button is grayed if the selected style belongs to a non-modifiable style sheet (style sheet of skin template for example).
5. Make the desired changes ("General" and "Style" tabs) and validate ("OK").
6. Apply the modifications ("Apply" button). The modifications are automatically applied to the current control and to the controls that use this style in the windows opened in the window editor.

• To apply the changes made on all the controls that use this style in the current project, go to the "Project" pane, "Project" group, expand "Recompile and synchronize" and select "Refresh style and skin template".
• You can also modify a style from the description of a control ("Style" tab).
• To modify the style of several controls of the same type, select the controls (by keeping the Ctrl key down for example) before opening the window used to edit the style sheets.

Deleting a style for a type of control from the custom style sheet of the current project
