Easily and quickly configure the appearance of Spread using predefined skins or create and save your own custom skins that define many of the appearance settings for a sheet. Custom skins can be shared with everyone in your development team, allowing a consistent look of the component across applications. You can also create specific styles that contain many of the appearance settings for individual cells. Named styles help you quickly customize the appearance of a cell or range of cells.

For information on managing skins (that apply to styles and renderers of the component), refer to Applying a Skin to the Component and Creating a Custom Skin for a Component.

For information about skins for sheets (using the older way of setting styles for individual sheets), refer to Applying a Skin to a Sheet and Creating a Custom Skin for a Sheet.

For information on saving the skin to a file, refer to Saving and Loading a Skin.

For more information on styles for individual cells, refer to Creating and Applying a Style for Cells.

For more information on Visual Styles (and XP Themes), refer to Using XP Themes with the Component.
