Trigger will be coming out with a new version in the next week or two. Just a heads up for anyone interested in skinning Trigger, the next Trigger version will be coming out with a new skinning engine that will not be compatible with the previous version.

Check out the new Trigger SDK [Now removed] and stay tuned for the release of the new version. The SDK will give you an idea of how the skinning engine is going to look.

Back later.

Several new features are coming out in the latest release of Switch. At the top of the pile are a new default skin (plated by plastic) and a drastically updated skinning engine.

Here are the release notes:
- New default skin (plated by plastic)
- Zoom example now displays what is under the zoom example part of the application when the skin changes (plastic has a habit of putting his logo's under the zoom example).
- Fixed tooltip color issues when changing skins
- Added hover states to all skin buttons
- Added cursor support for all skin components as well as the existing pick and zoom functions
- Added ability for the user to prevent custom cursors from being used in a skin (auto refreshes skin on change)
- Added debug support in skin development. Start Switch with the -debug command line parameter. Any problems with loading a skin will be notified to the skin developer.
- Updated Skin Development Kit (SDK)
