applications.

Press Release Body = The latest updates to DMSoft Technologies' popular SkinCrafter
program eliminate the rough edges to allow designers to create more beautifully
rendered windows and frames. SkinCrafter 2.5 is a program that is compatible with
Win98/ME/NT/2K/2003/XP and is a mature, stable, and comprehensive GUI design
software solution in which designers can create custom skins for their new or legacy
Windows based applications.

(PRWeb) January 25, 2007 - DMSoft Technologies announces the addition of a new and
useful feature to its popular 2.5 SkinCrafter program that makes jagged edges
smoother in custom-made Windows skins to create more beautifully rendered frames and
windows. This program is compatible with Win98/ME/NT/2K/2003/XP and is a mature,
stable, and comprehensive GUI design software solution that allows designers to
create custom skins for their new or legacy Windows based applications.

With its exclusive skin maker library, implemented as a standard Windows ActiveX
control, SkinCrafter allows designers to design unique styles using creative special
effects for fully interactive GUI development and more. SkinCrafter is compatible
with a large range of development languages, tools, and frameworks including Visual
Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft DotNet, and the Win32 SDK.

The smoother edges are made possible through DMSoft Technologies' per-pixel-alpha
frames support. Through this per-pixel-alpha blending feature, semitransparent skins
will function properly under Windows 2000 and later. No code change is required,
only a skin replacement. This and other outstanding and useful features are now
available through the newest version of SkinCrafter 2.5.

Other useful features available through SkinCrafter 2.5 include:
. Import of .msstyles skins
The very huge amount of skins is now accessible to SkinCrafter users. Designers may
find .msstyles they like and with a simple option import them to SkinBuilder and
then convert to .skf format.
. SkinBuilder interface improved.
SkinBuilder now has an option to set an image or color to the background. This would
enhance a preview area giving a chance to see how your skins look when covering
light or dark background.
