You can quickly customize the appearance of a sheet by applying a "skin" to it. Built-in (default) skins are provided with Spread to create common formats. You can also create your own custom skin and save it to use again, similar to a template.

For an overview and illustrations of sheet skins, see Creating a Skin for Sheets.

Using Code

1. If you want to create your own sheet skin, follow the instructions provided in Creating a Skin for Sheets to create a sheet skin and apply it. To apply a default sheet skin, follow the rest of these directions.
2. Use the GetAt method of the DefaultSkins object to specify the index of the default skin to return, then the default skin Apply method to assign it to a specific FpSpread component, collection of sheets, or sheet.
