I'll work on this, but I can't assign it to myself? Maybe someone else can.

Changes 24-1-08:
- Created a SkinManager class. This is a static class that holds all available Skins, and if needed it loads them into uMsn.

File is going to look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<uMsn Name="Forcepoint Test Skin" Author="Forcepoint" Version="0.0.0.1">
<Skin Form="frmMain" Control ="tbScreenName">
<BackgroundImage>Test.jpg</BackgroundImage>
<BackgroundColor>Yellow</BackgroundColor>
<Text>Forcepoint Skinning Test</Text>
</Skin>
</uMsn>
You'll just have to pass a form to one of the skin objects in the SkinManager, and it then sets properties for the Control.
Here's an example: http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08044/naamloos818.jpg
Anyways: work in progress ;D
