Not bad, I hope you will also work on Win7.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Not gonna bother with that until it goes live. Don't wanna make it based off beta and then have ms go and change it. It's just for Vista 32bit for now. (I will make a w7 one once its out)

wtf is that background music? almost went deaf here.....

The app looks nice though but I had to mute the video

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

It has been completely redone and now it's really working good, looking good, and actually loads stuff! See new screenshots in first post, low quality video is gone. Alpha download will be added later tonight. :)

[Richard Hammond]

I love the look of this has the Alpha been uploaded yet?

*edit* Nevermind i see you cant import Vista themes yet.

[Rukasuzu]

This is gonna be sweet :D

Thank you so much :D

[Rukasuzu]

By the way the video ain't work'n.

Please fix it :D

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Yeah sorry the video has been 'processing' on and off for a day >.>

[Beastage]

Looks like serious business, best of luck

Nice effort (Y) sadly the vista visual styles are of lacking quality, hopefully this can kickstart. Also you might wanna look into Win7 theme resources ;)

Seven support will be added soon after 7 is offically released. Microsoft still may change it. Anyway, because of the way I wrote the app to work, I can easily adapt it for 7.

For anyone wondering how it works, its actually a pretty simple concept.

1, 3, 4 and 5: Notice the [###] before each. That isn't just for show

2: Notice it starts with {###}

6 and 7: The ID field is actually pulled from the name

So bascially,

I name them in a format like "[###] Description" for normal items and they just work automatically. Aero Stream uses { instead of [ because that tells it it needs to use the STREAM folder instead of the IMAGE folder. Although not pictured, the UIFILE and VARIANT also both use custom brackets, ( and <.

Here is my screenshot

Vista Ultimate SP1

Vistyles Alpha2 if I am correct

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

It can now extract msstyles! Woooo that was harder then I expected. :wacko:

And remember people PM me if you want to try testing it.

[Richard Hammond]

Awesome there are a few themes i want to edit, i tried the hex editor route and i got completely lost and screwed up, lookin forward to using this.

[KoL Veteran]

Very nice man :)

Images on msstyle have different properties like sizing margins, sizing type, content margins, text color, text shadow etc. Are these going to be included??

[kawasabi]

Looks very nice pal.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

@KoL

Do you mean the Variation and UIFILE stuff? If so I have it covered, if not I may have a lot more work to do (But I will include them!).

[kawasabi]

Here is a link that may help with all the names for the IMAGE#xxx

Most is in German but the important stuff is English.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

That guide is actually mostly a German version of the guide I used populating the list. The msstyle resource finder was useful though. Thanks!

Is there a difference between 32bit and 64bit msstyles? I assume there is due to the format they're using to store the resources but I'm not 100% sure.

[Richard Hammond]

Is there any timeframe on an Alpha release?

[Rukasuzu]

I dunno honestly :p

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I *think* 64bit can use 32bit styles despite the difference, but I'm not sure. And I'll probably release it publicly once everything works good enough.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I'm working hard on finishing saving to .msstyle, expect it in 2-3 days.
