Version 1.0.8 of Vista Style Builder has just been released and introduces
some much requested features such as Searching.
Changelog 1.0.8:
- ADD: A searchbar has been added which allows one to filter/search the tree on UI-element names, on property names and on property values. For example, to quickly get a list of all used OPACITY:INT properties, one searches for "Opacity".
- ADD: The "Stop Test" button can be dropped down to reveal the "Reload Test" option. This command can be used to reload a currently running Test without stopping and starting it manually.
- FIX: When running a test, Explorer Windows will now have a ShellStyle, so the gray command bar in explorer will be gone.
- IDENTIFIED: using the -noupdateimageids flag will render Imported-XP style useless; this is a consequence of the fact that no new image ids will be given out using this flag and that the XP-importer creates several new images. Fix: don't use the -noupdateimageids flag when importing XP-styles.

Vista Style Builder 1.0 has been released today!
06, July 2008
We're close to a release. Bugs have been fixed in the alpha-converter module: Vista Style Builder makes
it possible to import images from PhotoShop without fixing the alpha with other programs; you just import
the image and it works.
A major new feature is the ability to import XP themes into VSB to convert them to Vista themes. It works
well on most XP themes (e.g. Luna). However, some themes might require some small tweaking still. It is still
a magnitude faster than converting themes by hand.
