Hi everybody!

Finally my everlasting project "wxSkin" has reached a state were I
decided to release it to the public!
I'm very sorry for the long delay (my original plan was to release it
about a month ago), but I was busy on the job and moved with my
family. In addition to that I had to fix a lot of bugs in it, write a
tutorial and documentation, setup a cross-platform build system, write
some examples, update my site... Well, you get the impression Smile

wxSkin is released as "0.9 alpha". There is no guaranty that it will
work or even build for you. In most cases it should be usable. I
tested it on multiple platforms and wxWidgets version (thanks to
Jorgen for the alpha testing).

It should work with wxWidgets 2.6.3 & the 2.7.x branch on
- Windows (not CE)
- Mac (tested on tiger)
- Linux (using the GTK2 port)

I included some example applications. One is a simple example with
changeable GUI, one is a "complex" frame example and for all of you
that have wxMediaCtrl build, there is a fully working media player
example.

Makefile/project generation is done by CMake. I setup some small
tutorial on how to use it on my site.

wxSkin itself compiles as a static lib. DLL/so builds should be
possible, but are not supported right now. Anyway, the overhead of
linking it statically should be fairly small.

I hope you like wxSkin and find it somewhat useful. Note that it is
still a work in progress. I'm open for input on this matter. If you
have some suggestion, comment, idea or simply a bug report, either use
the contact form on my site to mail me, PM me here, or post some
message. I'll try to read everything I get from you.

Have fun!
