Resource Library

The Resource Library is a collection of all image, icon and sound resources that are included within a theme and are used as the elements of skins. A single resource may be used to create multiple skins.

Note: The images displayed in the graphic above are a representative example of the "Studio 4.0" theme resources. Studio 4.0 is one of the standard themes included with ControlDesigner. A new theme will be void of any library resources until the user adds an image, icon and sound resources.

Tip: Be as frugal as creativity allows! A given theme will contain all of the files that are included in the resource library. To avoid a bloated theme file size, only include those resources that are used to create the themed skins. Also, choose image size carefully, removing any unnecessary files and when possible reuse resources for multiple skins.
