| SkinBuilder-Source Bitmap |

What's a source bitmap Source bitmap is a bitmap file (.bmp) which can be compiled to a skin file. SkinBuilder for Sunisoft Skin Solutions v2 uses a kind of special specification bitmap file as the input and compile it to a skin file. The bitmap file includes all elements of a skin. It means that the UI/skin designer just need to design all elements for your skin and draw all elements into a single bitmap file, then SkinBuilder can convert it to a skin file which can be used by developers. The specification of source bitmap At first, the source bitmap should be in 24bit color mode. No restrict for the size (Width and Height) of the bitmap. There are 2 types of elements: color and image. For color elements, use a 'color block' to define them in the source bitmap. The 'color block' is a square at 16*16 pixels size. With SkinBuilder tool, you can draw a color block with ease. For image elements, just draw them directly in the source bitmap with some restricts. Elements are separated by a background color line. The elements defined in source bitmap includes: Predefined Colors Form Elements Buttons Elements Controls Elements Below is an example of the source bitmap:
