Keito Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 This might be a bit of an awkward request and I don't know if it's really possible to do right now, but I figured it's worth trying. I bought WindowBlinds yesterday, because I know it was possible to convert msstyles to a WB skin with SkinStudio, and thus use them on Vista - so I intended on buying that too, but to no avail as there's only a tech preview out right now So I was basically hoping someone has an older version of skinstudio installed and could convert a couple of msstyles for me, so I can use them - because right now there aren't really any WB skins out there that I really like to use, but there's msstyles.

NienorGT Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Skinstudio 5.01 still avaliable for download. http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/SkinStudio/989670915/1 The Free version should do the conversion for you. If not, PM me with the link to your MSStyles and I will do them.

Danrarbc Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Any word on when that feature makes it's way into version 6? I'm sure the plan is to further improve it too but I've come to like editing skins in 6 it'd be nice to only install one ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619592-wb-convert-msstyle/#findComment-589205980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island Dog Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 For now SkinStudio 5 is the only way to import. That functionality for SKS6 is still being discussed. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619592-wb-convert-msstyle/#findComment-589394242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Gosselin Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 For now SkinStudio 5 is the only way to import. That functionality for SKS6 is still being discussed. :) With latest build of SKS6 > Unable to keep SKS5 installed (SKS6 + SKS5 on same computer). Impulse suggests to uninstall SKS5 before the installation/upgrade process of SKS6. :unsure: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619592-wb-convert-msstyle/#findComment-589394641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Dog Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Ah yes. What you can do temporarily is install SKS5 via SDC (or download link) after installing SKS6.

Steve Gosselin Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Arfff, no good for me, if I installs SKS5 after installing SKS6, the next update for SKS6 via Impulse will "prompt me" to re-uninstall SKS5. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619592-wb-convert-msstyle/#findComment-589394723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. I just meant you can do that temporarily if you need to import a theme. I have made the developers aware of the issue.

Keito Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 wow... that's the way to go sir!I hope it will make better conversion for Vista. Specially the start menu. I agree.I bought WB to use XP msstyles on Vista plus to get WB skins - however, I personally think a lot of old msstyles are way better than current WB skins, and I really want to use them, but the problems with SKS5/6 installed on 1 machine are kind of keeping me from it. Originally I thought I'm doing something wrong, but over the past months I found that using msstyles with WB6 / SKS6 isn't really... there. Glad to see you're still working on it :) It would really make my day if a msstyle converter would be released which works flawlessly Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619592-wb-convert-msstyle/#findComment-589402730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
