    I'm not sure how skin controls properly while using LMDDocking pack, On initial startup the LMD panels are docked and all the controls remain skinned and look proper

    however when I un-dock the panel the controls loose the skin and same happens when I re-dock the panel the controls remain un-skinned. If anyone else is using the LMDDocking controls

    could you explain how you implemented the use of alphaskins in your project?

    Thank you

    So here is what I have come up with, on v9.00 beta you have to enable extended border in the skin manager for it to work with undocked lmd panels

    you don't need to do this with 8.53. also you need to add to the lmd docksite's ondockdrop event sskinmanager1.RepaintForms(true); if you are

    using third party controls.

    I'm not sure if the RepaintForms is the best a way to go about it but it works for now.

    Best regards

    This is not completely solved but am getting closer to finding the solution, it seems the lmd docking themes xml file need to be adjusted not sure what setting(s) but will update

    when I discover it. So far it doesn't seem to be an alphaskins problem.

    Hello Dennis

    You can try to place the TsSkinProvider component on docked forms (if you didn't it still).

    If problem is not solved still, then maybe you can send me a demo? I'll try to find a solution.

    Sorry for the late reply, I will send you a demo later today or tomorrow.

    Thank you
