The following example shows you how to extends the ProgrammaticSkin and
add a gradient as background to a TitleWindow
usage :
WindowedApplication {

TitleWindow: ClassReference("com.gnstudio.skins.TitleWindowSkin");

}

package com.gnstudio.skins
{

    import flash.display.GradientType;
    import flash.display.InterpolationMethod;
    import flash.display.SpreadMethod;
    import flash.geom.Matrix;
    
    import mx.graphics.RectangularDropShadow;
    import mx.skins.RectangularBorder;

    public class TitleWindowSkin extends RectangularBorder{

        
       	private var cornerRadius:Number = 6;
	private var borderColor:uint = 0xFFFFFF;
	private var borderThickness:Number = 1;
        
        override protected function updateDisplayList (unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void{
        	
            super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
            
            graphics.clear()
            
            if(getStyle("cornerRadius")){
          	
          	cornerRadius = getStyle("cornerRadius");
            
            }
            if(getStyle("borderColor")){
          	
          	borderColor = getStyle("borderColor");
            
            }
            if(getStyle("borderThickness")){
          	
          	borderThickness = getStyle("borderThickness");
            
            }
			
            var fillType:String = GradientType.LINEAR;
            var colors:Array = [0x000000,0x111111,0x333333];
            var alphas:Array = [1,.75, .50];
            var ratios:Array = [0,128, 255];
            var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
            matrix.createGradientBox(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight*2, Math.PI/2, 0, 0);
            var spreadMethod:String = SpreadMethod.REPEAT;
            var interpolationMethod:String = InterpolationMethod.LINEAR_RGB;
			
            graphics.lineStyle(borderThickness, borderColor);
            graphics.beginGradientFill(fillType, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix, spreadMethod,interpolationMethod);
			
            graphics.drawRoundRectComplex(0,0,unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight,cornerRadius,cornerRadius,cornerRadiu
s,cornerRadius);

        }

    }
