Substyles, Hue change in sks for a substyle?

Possible?

from WinCustomize Forums
I am makeing a xp substyle for my skin right now. AHHHH i think I got it so far and I can test it on my xp laptop but... I was wondering if there is a way to change the hue of my skin and add it as a substyle? I know you can change the hue in sks5 but.. I dont know how to add it as a substyle? Also  made my skin  in sks6 and when I try to open it in sks5 a error message comes up saying usi1 is older than usi and the preview will not show?

I am wondering if i did something to upset you guys. No one answered at all on this and my last. I am impatient. LOL. I know I am annoying with all of my questions! But i do apologize and feel guilty every time I go to make ANOTHER POST! So thanks for your patience and help but I figured this one out....


If anyone want to know, The way that I am doing it is creating a substyle from the existing skin and going through all of the sections one by one. I open frame builder and recolor all frames and once you recolor one the next time you go to the next section and click recolor frames it is at the same hue already so I just save the tga with blue after it since I am doing blue. It is going pretty quick but still if anyone knows of an easier way then I would love for you to share it with me..

I just figured out why no one likes me(I really dont think that) BECAUSE OF MY LONG DRAWN OUT POSTS!! LOL :) :) :)

If you create new colorize styles with WB config you wont need to make subs with SKS.SKS will package all your new color presets with the WB when packed.(its the .wbo file)

You only need to make subs with SKS if you need new graphics or need to make a completely diff style...like new shapes or compatibility with diff configurations.

Ok so If i go into wbconfig and make a new sub style then save it under the name i want in wb when I make .wba package sks will recognize the colored preset as a sub style, and people who download it will have it as a sub style. I wish I would have known because I kind of messed up a few parts of the skin with recoloring because I didn't give it a different name.

Yep, when you make a color sub in WB config it saves it as a .wbo file in the skin folder, when package using SKS it packs everything in skin folder.

Nobody is upset with you. You are not annoying. Post all you want, we all need help at some time and if you don't ask, you won't learn! I saw your last post, I just couldn't answer your question, and maybe it got buried before someone else who could answer could see it. Just keep bumping it up till you get an answer.  ;)
