When Google releases a new SDK it intentionally does not provide skins for any particular handset models. This is to emphasise the fact you are writing for a platform, one which has many particular implementations. However, it's really nice to have a skin for a handset you are interested in if for no other reason than to reassure yourself your app really does look ok on it!
For a while there was no Nexus One skin, and then Tim Hoeck added one to his blog. Following the recent release of the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) SDK it was proving a little tricky to find one for the Nexus S, so we present ours here along with the steps needed to start making use of it. Together with the Gingerbread SDK, this amounts to a free (virtual) Nexus S!
