Skin studio pro will not download visual styles correctly

July 1, 2004 3:46:56 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Months ago I uploaded several of wb skinner's visual styles using the skinstudio pro icon that is in the folder. Each one was added to windowblinds perfectly. Now today..I had lost his moonbuggy visualstyle that months ago showed his awesome startpanel.after updating skinstudio I attempted to download another of his visual styles..moonbuggy 3 at http://www.deviantart.com/view/2363253/ after clicking on the skinstudio icon it uploaded all the subskins..but when applying this style his awesome xp start panel did not load..all i have is a plain standard colored startpanel. So I picked another blind then applied moonbuggy..same problem....I deleted moonbuggy from windowblinds...opened skinstudio pro and searched for moonbuggy...installed it from disk...same problem. I use xp home and no programs or system specs have changed...only updates to windowblinds and skinstudio I tried several other visual styles all with the same problem... PLEASE HELP !~!

I've seen this also. The files for those parts are there, they are just not being used.

My workaround, at the moment, is to assign each part one at a time using the drop down list that has all the parts. A fair amount of work, but at least it seems to be limited to the Start Panel and Taskbar.

Please don't start redundant threads. If no one can help you here, why do you think they can help in a second thread. Are you using the latest (beta) build of SkS? Either roll back to a previous build of SkS, or wait for the next release. Only the developer of SkS can "fix it".

I downloaded this MSStyle and did a conversion to WB with SkinStudio. You are right, it does not do the start menu and taskbar correctly. What's interesting is the graphics are imported and the XPStuff.xp is generated but the references to the graphics are missing in the XPStuff.xp file. The margins, transparency settings, etc. are there. Looks like a bug in SkinStudio. You might want to e-mail Adam or post in the SkinStudio newsgroup about this.

This is from a post by the SkinStudio devs over at Neowin


None of the skins I have tried to convert have worked. They all end up having a windows classic start panel.

Some of the one's I have tried to convert are:
qlassic
classicX
8270

I understand the conversion process isn't 100% perfect but the list goes on of unsucessful converted msstyles.

I know there are some really great skins out there like:
Dogmax
VectorCell
gfxOasis
Luna Hoe
Kewk Hoe
Opulence
Studio 28

My point is there seems to me that for every good windowblinds skin there are 2 or 3 really good msstyle's.

Perhaps if the skin convertor worked better for me then it wouldn't be a problem



Please re-install SkinStudio there's been a problem with the recent updates made with Stardock Central, it may as well apply to regular insatallers. We duplicated the problem on GreenReaper's machine and the installation fixed it.
