Should we just use SparkSkins, or make our own new Theme?

I'm starting to think more and more about application loading performance and RSL.  Still don't quite have my head wrapped around it.
I would like to make a completely new look and feel for a flex app.  Is it wise to create all new skins (assuming I have no issue with how many there are), or is it more wise to just try to hack together something using CSS?
I'm asking because, are the spark skins included in the signed swz RSL?  If they are, then it seems like there'd be a decent performance gain to just try to modify your skins vs. creating our own.

The Spark Skins will be included in the RSL,but the minute you make changes to them you won't get the benefit of the RSL (unless you're just mucking with colors via styles).

  • How do I reinstall iChat, how do PC users video iChat with me, and should I just use skype?

    1. I deleted iChat awhile ago by mistake. I searched ichat in Macintosh HD, and the only result was iChat the application file, but its icon is a faded out IWeb icon. When I click on it, it just bounces on my dock, until it disappears and an error message pops up stating it quit unexpectedly. I tried dragging the result to my desktop then redragging it into my Applications folder, but the same thing still happens (faded out iWeb icon instead of iChat icon, bounces, quits, error message). I also tried installing the iChat AV (forgot which version) and iChat Update 1.0 Universal, both of which said I had to have 10.4. I have 10.5.8. Also, if this makes any difference, the current faded out iChat in my Applications folder says its version 4.0.9. I do not have my reinstall CD, and do not want to call support and have them send me one. Considering I bought my macbook in late 2008, and my warranty is up, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't help me anyways. I also do not know of anyone who has a mac so the sharing option can be crossed offed. Is there a downloadable version of iChat for 10.5. users?
    2. If I somehow managed to reinstall a working iChat, how would PC users connect to me and vide chat?
    3. Should I just use skype? Would i have to download anything? Is skype video chat free? What are the differences between iChat and skype, and which one is better?
    Thank you for your time!

    Hi,
    Reinstall Instructions
    Be SURE to Download (Manually) and Install the COMBO version of the last Update to the OS you did as iChat will need to be Updated (Software Update will think it is already done and you need to Fool it)
    Re 2).
    In theory it is just a question oif you using a valid AIM name in iChat
    This could be one registered with AIM or one from @mac.com or MobileMe if paid for or a current trial.
    In Practice it can need a bit of tweaking at both ends
    They Need to allow the AIM App through the Windows firewall as an Exception (AS with any Non Microsoft app)
    They may also need to turn off the "Real Time" option that does not work to iChat and effects A/V chats as well.  (It is Sending as you type). It will be in one of the Menus of their Budy List.
    Post back for more if you get stuck.
    Re 3)
    Skype does offer free Video Chat and some people resort to it when iChat to AIM does not work.
    It is free (At present - and you only pay for the Connection to and from real phones)
    Skype was bought by Microsoft within the last week and things may change at some point in the future.
    iChat has better Video
    Audio depends on the capabilities of your Mac and their PC but is probably about equal.
    Connection methods differ and iChat's Video and Audio Chats are technically more secure (you can in fact log out of the Buddy List as they adre Peer-to-Peer where as Skype uses a little bit of everyone's bandwidth (Between 40 and 100 other End Users)
    Other options are here
    Video options are from 8 onwards
    Mebeam is now called Koowy. (Video Chatting in a Web Browser using Flash)
    NOTES;
    Google Do a Plug-in for Intels to allow you to use their Web Mail Page Chat Option
    It can Conflict with Flash if you use more than one option.

  • How to use the catalog in our own Web Dynpro program?

    Hi Expert,
    How to access MDM catalog and bring the product data back to a our own Web Dynpro program?

    Hi  Masa,
    The Catalog Search UI of SRM that is referred to as UI as aforementioned is a page which is capable of the selection of catalog items is linked from the shopping cart creation.
    Our biz requirement content two scenarioes to processing the purchase requirement.
    A.  Create shopping cart via the catalog (PR) --> SRM PO Process --> SUS(PO and Invoice) 
    This is the standard SRM purchase scenario and we have already implemented that.
    B. Create a requirement document via the catalog (This document is same with the SC but very simple, and we create this function by the own web dynpro program) --> transfer the requirement document to other purchasing system(none SAP)  in our intranet.
    So the key problems we faced are below:
    1. How to connect to the catalog search UI from our own web dynpro program.
    ( If we connect the catalog via the MDM ABAP API, that will make the catalog serach UI could not be used;
    Also  it has been failed to simulate the function of SC's connection to the catalog;
    So we decide to link the catalog serach UI via the URL, the linkage is "http://<J2EEserver:J2EEport>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=General&username=&password=&catalog=<Repository Name>&server=&datalanguage=EN". )
    2. How to transfer the catalog item data to our own web dynpro program.
    If we link the catalog search UI by URL, we can not find any good method to transfer the catalog item data to our own program.

  • How to make our own Ajax based custom compnent

    You can read tutorials or manuals from the suppliers of AJAX for JSF components. And of course take a look into the code.

  • Are there any plans to make renting iTunes movies workable, Apple? Or should I just use Amazon, BBC, Netflix, etc., which all stream HD?

    I have tried twice to use iTunes rental.You have to plan ahead, preferrably the day before, unless you have a fast broadband connection.
    I don't.
    However, my slow broadband connection enables me to stream instatly HD content from Netflix, BBC and now Amazon.
    So, if I wanted to watch a movie on a journey, I guess downloading the whole movie would do the trick if I planned ahead.
    But there are alternatives, particularly for those of us who still have DVD drives.
    So, is iTunes movie just designed for commuters?
    I think we should be told.

    Thank you for getting back so quickly.
    If I knew how to remove my post I would.
    As for the problem, I don't know where to turn. Twitter, perhaps.

  • HT204053 How do my husband and I make our own passwords and user names? We are Shari

    My husband and I have the same user names and password for our iPads 4and iPhones. When one of downloads onto a device, it goes to both devices. Also, he gets my reminders. I want to keep the user name and password and he will then get his ow ones. How do we go about doing this?
    When I looked into doing this on apple site, it seemed to show that I can change them, but not just change one of them

    He should go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - it's best to have a non-Apple address to do this with but it must be one that hasn't been previously associateds with an Apple ID. A free one from GMail or Yahoo would do.
    He should then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, whereupon all the contact, calendar and Mail data from your iCloud account will disappear. He can then sign in with the new ID and create a separate account. He can share some of your data if he wants to by signing in with your account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and checking just that sort of data there.
    None of this affect iTunes Store purchases. He will need to sign out in the iTunes Store (click the name at left of the black toolbar and choose 'Sign out' and then sign in with his new ID. However if he has made app purchases on your ID he will not be able to update them, or view films: you can't move purchases from one account to another and you can't keep changing the sign-in to the Store either. It's quite possible for him to retain your ID in iTunes but have his own in iCloud as the two are not connected.

  • The next big thing...lets make our own!

    with the introduction of the n90 we saw a move into a new technological era soon the n90 was followed by other nseries devices the introduction of the n80 saw a huge wave of interest and also advances in functionality now we have the n95 which to me is the successor of the n80 my question is whats next?
    I want to use this post to see what we the users hope to get next features and design here is what i want to deal with
    Design: flip bar slide dual slide twist(n93) communicator-what design should be used?
    Interface: tap/keypad touchscreen(p990) with qwerty full touchscreen(lg prada)-what interface should be used?
    Memory: what should the internal memory be? Should a memory card slot be included? What is the max memory should the phone be capable of?
    Dimensions(dependant on form factor)
    Included Applications(msn messenger? File browser? Maybe a document viewer and editor?)
    Features: what features should be standard? What new features should be included?
    Here is my opinion: twist keypad internal 1gb external up to 8gb with ability to increase via fw updates standard features gps camera main and secondary bluetooth with a2dp irda upnp wifi (all connectivity) high speed 3g basically dont leave anything out that we already have! But improve on them!
    New features- really I DONT know what next i would like to see included on a mobile! Maybe full screen caller and when i exit the camera app and return to it it shouldnt go back to the default but my user settings should remain real full web browsing as i would on my pc including flash sites
    Please add to this post in the same format as i have

  • How TO make our own EventListener ?

    Hello,
    I am in very difficult stage.
    I n a while loop , I received a String against a function call
    and nedd to add some action listener so that in Receiving Listener i
    can find what the emessage is ?
    Please help
    Thanks.

    Your question is not clear. But I will guess as to what you are asking and to the solution.
    Do you know what type of listener you need? ActionListener, WindowListener, etc.
    If yes: then just create a non-intialized listener object of that type, when the request is made
    then just initalize it, attach it, pump the event tree and then let the requester take care of business.
    If no: I have no clue what you want. Need more information.

  • Is it worth downgrading FF to 3.0 to allow my paypal plugin to work? or just use IE?

    == This happened ==

    I do believe that PayPal has discontinued support of the Paypal plugin, as far as I know. [https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/general/NewPayPalPlugin-outside]
    Firefox 3 is no longer supported by security updates by Mozilla. Really no point to running an insecure browser to use an unsupported plugin, at least in my opinion...

  • Using iPhoto to make books with NetBoot on an apple server in computer la

    I teach an artist book course at NKU. We have an intel imac lab that serves up the software over a NetBoot system on the network from an xServe. We are using iPhoto to make our books. Our problem is that students cannot save their books to work on for more than one class period because they cannot write back to the server and each time the computer restarts, a pristine set of software is loaded onto each computer. I discovered there is no way to save a book. We can drag the library off and save it but we cannot do that with the book which makes is virtually impossible for my students to do their assignment. In iMovie, you can save your project onto an external drive. With Keynote, you can save your project onto an external drive, but with iPhoto, you cannot save your book onto an external drive to complete as time permits. Do you have any help for me? Barbara Houghton, Professor of Art, Northern Kentucky University [email protected]
    iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8) netBoot serves programs onto lab computers over the network

    Barbara:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What if the student has a USB flash drive with his library folder on it. Could he run that library with the iPhoto application that's on the server? Each student would have to import the photos from the main library to his flash library and run it from there. To get iPhoto to switch libraries you launch it with the Option key depressed and, when asked, navigate to the library you want to use and select it. As long as the libraries don't have many, many photos a 1 or 2 G flash drive would work. If a student had their own portable FW or USB hard drive they could use that also. Unfortunately that involves additional hardware. Might not be that big an issue for today's students as they are much more technologically advanced that we are in so many ways.
    Not familiar with servers that's the only way I can think of for each student to have their own library, pictures and keep it for him/herself. Good luck.

    I tried to read about home sharing, but it sounds like everyone has to have the same id. 
    One of my daughter's ipod keeps dumping all music and apps everytime I attach it to the computer to try to sync.  I think it may be because I set hers up with my id.  I am sure this is supposed to be simple, but I feel like I don't want to do something wrong.  I appreciate your help.

    Create NEW account/ID for them using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
