I ran into my good friend Nahuel Foronda at the Adobe Max 2007 conference, he handed me a little post card for his new endeavor called Fill Colors. A while a go I harped on the fact that so many Flex applications look like Flex applications. Fill Colors was inspired by the CSS Zen Garden, where the premise is that you can dramatically change the look of your site by simply changing and adjusting the underlying CSS.
Of course there is more to making a great Flex skin than just swapping out the CSS, there is also the skinning of Flex components with programmatic skins when necessary. Fill Colors allows others to contribute by applying a design of their own by creating style sheets and programmatic skins completely separated from the application itself. Just to make things interesting, you can’t modify the Flex application, only the CSS .
Tired of dreary Flex applications, take a look at Fill Colors
