Title: Error Testing MsStyles File
Post by: Smarty on September 24, 2009, 05:33:11 pm
Windows 7 RTM
When testing the unmodified Aero.msstyles error occurs: "Error Testing MsStyles File"  :(

Because of what this might be?
Sorry for bad English!

This theme is called:

Uh, yeah it does. It always has.

To the first post, it could be due to the fact it's in a temp, are the MUI files/locale folder in there?

Thank you! I did not know that the only place you can edit!  :D

Well, could you release the working version? Me and the other handful of people would love to use it.

Or, what version of Windows 7 does it work on?

It works, but it needs some fixing on Windows 7.

I got the dialog buttons working by opening another instance of VSB.  I guess it just agreed with me after that?  Too scared to close out and try again :P

The Start menu area has trouble changing/pasting the RECT properties.  It looks as if it has changed but it just goes to crap when you test it out.  To 'fix' this you have to open another instance of VSB and just open a Vista theme... don't import as VSB or whatever.  Then you can copy & paste the RECT properties from there and it'll register on the Win7 Style Builder.

I wasn't aware I could use VSB to change the RECT props. Thanks.
