Brilliant, looking forward to trying the Alpha when its released.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

It now can be used on xp.

(It can be USED on xp it can't do anything with XP styles)

[hakre1]

Can't wait!

This looks really promising

Is there a download available or did I miss something?

BTW: I joined this forum just so I could keep an eye on this program, so consider it good advertisement ;)

[Rukasuzu]

hakre1 if you want to beta test the program pm omnicoder and ask him.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Progress may slow for a few days here as I'm grounded and have to use the computer secretly at night :hmmm:.

and you are how old?

[Rukasuzu]

poor poor omnicoder :(

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

and you are how old?

Still in middle school :p

Everyone assumes I'm older for some reason.

Anyway, newest release was sent to testers last night. Minor bugfixes and some changes to dialogs. I've found more time to work on it, too so expect some of those highly awaited incomplete features to be done soon (:

I'm also adding Neowin to the credits, as I'm hoping to get Vistyle a subforum. (PMed Neobond about it)

[PurplePeopleEater]

Looks pretty cool is this looks like it's by by Lee Chantry on Lee-soft.com you probably will have to change the name thats his naming sequence

I'm going to give it a try... when you make a public release?

BTW the youtube video link is broken could you mirror it?

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I'm not changing the name. I had never heard of that guy and prefixing things with 'Vi' isn't original.

[SuperKid]

Can see omnicoder becoming very successful in the future for coding seen as the great programs he works at and he even keeps working at them and never gives up!

Good look and all best in future omnicoder, great application. ;)

Vistyle - Apha

Vistyle is a 100% free Vista Visual Style and Theme File Creator/Editor.

It currently does, or soon will, allow the following features and more:

* Import Vista Msstyle

* Import WB Style

* Import XP Style

* Export Vista Msstyle

* Graphical and easy interface for making msstyles for Vista

* Create theme files easily with a gui

* Automatically converts images made in photoshop to the correct alpha format

* Once Windows 7 is out, support will be added (shouldn't require much changing)

* Other stuff I probably forgot

New Video:

It can now import vista styles yet, or use pre-ripped images from the Aero theme. Anyone with suggestions for features not listed above please post. It can now extract stream and Normal Variant when importing!

I have enough testers now, thanks guys.

Hi, may I know when will the software be released? (I saw in youtube that is should be in march, but it is almost april...)

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Ok so lots of big changes. I've kept it under wraps but, its been re-made from scratch. It's been renamed Winstyle as well, to avoid confusion. I'll redo the first post soon to show the new Winstyle, And yes, its still not at 'public release' stage because it was restarted.

Expect more info in first post soon...

Also, to the question about the date, it's been pushed back because I lost a good chunk of time making the original, as it is being rewritten.

well, Thanks omnicoder. I'm eager to have a copy of it.

[Rukasuzu]

I am eager to have a copy as well hehe !

Thnx Omnicoder for such great msstyles editor !

If I could I would've donated the money, but can't so sorry!

Otherwise I can test the program for you, as you already know !

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Ok heres a new video showing installer and some features:

[Warboy]

I want a copy >.<

[Rukasuzu]

Very nice job on the video.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I realized I didn't show exporting a theme to .msstyles so...

Sorry to be tormenting you with videos, the new Beta is almost ready for the public.

Ignore the XP-style buttons, its a custom theme mod I did because I like the XP buttons, nothing to do with Winstyle.

[vip]

when i click play it says the video you have requested is not available :(

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I just uploaded it, give it some time.

It's ready to watch now!

[Rukasuzu]

Patience is a virtue :D

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I was thinking about adding a ribbon... heres a example screenshot

But your the users, and the ones who would need to wait, so do you think adding 2-4 days to the development is worth it to add ribbon?

(if I don't add the ribbon, the menus and toolbars will be customizable at runtime, like office)

Edited April 22, 2009 by omnicoder

[Rukasuzu]

You could try to add the ribbon !. I could wait 2-4 days.

Adventure hehe :p

Then we will see how it will look and work out.

I dunno what ribbon does please explain more !

I kinda get it

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

This should explain how the ribbon works abit.

Anyone adding in the ribbon would be a lot of integration so unless people want it I'm not going too.
