Flick Flip Book Light
Some folks complained that my default UI skin is too dark, it is hard to read photo descriptions in Flickr Flip Book, and the whole charcoal look and feel used in most Adobe Flex and AIR apps is wearing off.
So, I added new silvery Light UI skin to this app with an option to switch between the default and light skin:
And here is the screenshot of Flickr Flip Book Light:
It’s a little plain, but easy on the eyes. Maybe I’ll add some album page background pattern options in v.2 to make it stand out and more colorful.
In the meantime, I am planning to do a short how-to with some sample code next, to show how easy it is to add support for multiple UI skins to Flex apps with a well-designed UI and cleanly separated view/layout code and styles.
