Skin reuse

Post by helseykc »

Hi All,

I want to reuse skins by importing them from a master project to give a consistent look and feel to all my projects. However, I want a caption for my window titles, but this needs to be different for each project. I don't seem to be able to do this - I had hoped I could use a custom variable, for example, Product Name. Any idea if this is possible?

Thanks,

Helen

I haven't been able to make this work. I put in a request once to have the caption as part of the target instead of the skins so that I could also re-use the skin, but I don't think it has been fixed yet. Using a variable would be another possible fix.

I tired using a variable and couldn't get it to work. There's a similar forum post, but no solution

I agree that having the caption at the target level would be a big improvement. I'll put in an enhancement request.
