Cloning Skins

The Jade Skin Maintenance form allows you to select an existing skin item and then create a clone of that skin using another name.

The Applications, Controls, Forms, Menus, Simple Buttons, and Window State Images sheets have a Clone button, which enables you to create a new skin item as a copy of an existing skin item.

To clone an existing skin

  1. Select an item on the current skin list; for example, an application skin in the Application Skins list box on the Applications sheet.

  2. Click the Clone button. This clears the skin Name text box and displays a hint in red; for example, <Enter name of new application>. All of the displayed controls of the previously selected skin remain displayed in the same state (except for the Name text box).

  3. Focus is then set to the skin Name text box, so that you can specify the name of the new skin.

  4. Click the Update button. A new skin is then created as a duplicate of the existing skin, except that it has another name.

    If the selected skin had been changed but not saved when you click the Clone button, you are prompted to save the existing changes for the selected skin.

    If you click the No button, the changes are not be saved against the original skin but the changes remain for the new skin. If you click the Yes button, the changes are saved against the original skin and remain for the cloned new skin.
