Old versions removed. Preparing to release new copy with custom .vth files for applying themes, and a completed "Theme Library" item on the tools menu. The aforementioned features are done, just need to remove 2 hardcoded paths. (the library directory and the theme icon)

New video. Larger, longer and higher quality. Also shows a bit of the code and some debug stuff not normally there.

New features shown:

Stream support (no stream sub-part support... yet)

.vht theme files (since 7 butchered the old way of applying msstyles)

Theme creator with my cool custom toolstrip control (panels and pictureboxes ftw)

fixed some sizing issues

tools menu icons de-hugeified

Incomplete options dialog

Download Video (.wmv)

I'm refering to the properties of the individual images in the style's file.

See the bottom right area of the screenshot below for clarification.

[so I don't create confusing, that is NOT Stylos, it is a commerical competing Style Editor, its only to show what I'm talking about]

+1. I think that should probably help. Seems to reference a bunch of the properties used in the Vista Style Builder. Could also help to do some simple web searches for the properties in question and how to set them after referring to the msdn page.

Hmm don't know how I missed that. It seems to be almost what I need, now I just need to find where in the style it stores these properties for each image.

properties in question and how to set them after referring to the msdn page.

There is no 'built in' way to set these. Remember, you need to patch uxtheme. MS didn't intend for custom visual styles. There will be some Binary read/writing needed to do this which is why I need to know more about where these properties are in the files in relation to the image they apply to.
