SkinStudio 6 pro problems

from WinCustomize Forums

I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to fix this. Everything I see online works differently. When I double-click on the MSStyle file, Vista tries to open it as an "Appearance" (but fails miserably), when I right click and Open-With Skinstudio it tries to open it directly (failing even more miserably) rather than importing it.

I'm just trying to see how someone made a dither effect behind a window border so I can copy the style for a theme I'm working on.

Please see this thread for a link to the  importer. I hope it's what you are looking for. LINK

SKS 5 will import it

 

if you have ODNT SKS 5 should be in your list and be available. 

only thing is: if you like to open the skin to edit via the WB configure, then the 1st that was installed and associated with the 'edit' button in WB becomes the default - you don't get a choice and no way to change from making it use one and start using the other except for uninstalling both, rebooting, install 5 or 6, reboot = it becomes default - install the other


I had both installed - the edit button opened 5 - uninstalling 5 made the button go dead, 6 was still installed but didn't take over - poster on a previous post said reinstalling 6 made it the default



If you update/install 6 via Impulse it will uninstall 5  unless they fixed that....
