When I first started up SketchFlow to create a prototype, by default all of the controls were styled using the standard controls styles rather than the sketch-like style I had seen in the SketchFlow demos. It wasn’t obvious to me how to use the sketch style and I didn’t find it easily, so here’s how to do it:
