When you use image or icon controls, My webMethods Server runtime automatically replaces references to the images using your web application's /skin/images directory with skinned images, if the images are in the current user's skin. If the images are not in the current user's skin, the default images from your web application are used.

For example, say you have two images in your web application's /skin/images directory, Icon_Error.gif and Icon_No-Error.gif:

You have two image controls on your page, one with /skin/images/Icon_Error.gif for its URL property value, and one with /skin/images/Icon_No-Error.giffor its URL property value. If the current user's skin has an Icon_Error image, the first control displays the skin's Icon_Error image. If the current user's skin does not have an Icon_No-Error image, the second control displays the Icon_No-Error image from your web application's /skin/images directory.
