TabPane vertical orientation with horizontal text

Hi again!

I want to make TabPane with vertical orientation to show text in horizontal
dimantion, something like this:
_________|
|               |
| my label  |
| and icon  |
|________ |
                |

As I understood the Skin components are responsible for the view
representation, but I definitely can't find the skin for the TabPane
component.

Can you point me the right direction, please?

Thanks,
Eugene

Eugene,

You can't specify a skin for just one instance of a component, but you can
create a subclass of a Pivot Component, and then create a skin for it.

The attachment in this recent post might be useful.  It shows a custom
version of ImageView with a custom skin.

I found that it is TerraTabPaneSkin who responsible for the rendering of the
TabPane. Actually TabButtonSkin inner class.

The next question is how can i install separate scin for a particular
TabPane instance only?
