Skinable GUI

[Cleverson Schmidt]

Hi friends
Does somebody here has experience in Skinable GUIs? I'm trying to figure out how can I accomplish that in the best way.
In my current approach I'm thinking of having 3 parts composing each window in my application.
1 - View class (java class)
2 - Components description (XML file)
3 - Resource
The View class is the java class that constructs each window putting all components into it. The attributes of these components would be configured using the data present in the XML file. The class read the XML file which maps components attributes to resources, images for example. At the end of the process the View class is always the same, the skin is composed of different XML and resource files.
Could you please comment/suggest/criticize on that? Does somebody here has any experience on that?
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
Cleverson Schmidt
