That may not be possible depending upon which components you use. However,
everyone has found vclSkin to be the best and has support (minor
modifications) for supporting DevEx components. The author is very
responsive as well.

I would recommend VCLSkin from http://www.link-rank.com/. I've used it
in several applications without having to change any of the forms or
controls. It will also skin almost all the third party components I've
used.
There have been a few things it didn't natively support - the scroll
bars in DevExpress Quantum Grid 4.5, or the wizard buttons in Jedi's
TJvWizard. In both cases, it VCLSkin has enough event handlers and
helper classes that it was possible to write a bit of extra code to skin
those exceptions. (Well, the DevEx QG was a bit challenging.)

Sorry, should not have said it this way. Most respondents to similar
questions have voiced their support for vclSkin. :)

What's wrong with "everyone"? I would agree!!! :-)
Yes, "Everyone" has found that VCLSkin (http://www.link-rank.com/) is by far
superior and worth the money.
1. Pan provides great support
2. Easy to use
3. Only requires one component to use
4. Easy to remove (if needed)

Hello,
I bought several skinning components. By far the best is VCLSkin from
www.link-rank.com. A few days ago I also bought the excellent TMS Component
pack which VCLSkin has no trouble to skin (with 1-2 code adjustments in TMS
components code). The very best thing that Pan did in the last update, was
to provide support for .mss styles so the skinning options one has are now
are just unlimeted!!! (if you dont mind me saying so:o)).
So my vote goes do Pan also...
Regards
Peter
