Does anyone have any idea of how to go about reading skin files and using them to enhance one's own UI. Is it a better idea to start from scratch and build one's own skin defintion or is there a skin standard out there somewhere.
We would like to be able to read winamp and neoplanet skins and utilize them in our own application which is for hte education market.

Any ideas, advice, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
