VistaStyleBuilder

Hi,

WSB can't test/save any msstyles in 14971 (same with 14959).
Just starting a new style (so, using the original aero.msstyles file), click Test without any modifications (uxtheme patch ok, test with my old styles dev with 14393, they works) =
(http://longhorn.aitemulive.com/win13/14971.jpg)

Any idea ? ._.

Uhh...I'd assume this is an obvious one (and thus that you'd already tried it), but have you tried restarting the Unsigned Themes Service before testing? .-.

Hm. What is the "Unsigned Themes Service" ? UXstyle service ?

UXtheme in 14971 can't be patched with UXstyle. I found another patch on visualcustom.net ._.

Yes

Oh...I, uh, misread the OP. Thought you said UxStyle, not UxTheme >.<


Okay, uhhhh...save + load Style via Personalization CPL instead of testing proper? Idk... .-.

Save = Test = Error message

Visual Styles dev with 14393 works in 14971. The problem is only WSB.

Here, I try to save original aero.msstyles just opened with WSB, save to aer o.msstyles.
It says error, and save a 3KB file #unusable

If I try to apply this file, go BlackScreen.

Uhh...well I know I read something about WSB being unable to build Windows 8 Visual Styles on other versions of Windows, so...what if you replaced 14971's aero.msstyles with 14393's version? (Yeah, in case you can't tell, I'm desperate to come up with something here .-. )

Same problem. Same things with my visualStyle from 14393, uuuh...

Here, you can see aero.msstyles date = july 2016 = 14393, open in WSB, try to save to aerotest.msstyles = 3KB ( = july 20, 2013, wtf).

Edit : 14986 has been released today. Maybe no more problem with it...

Lel


And uh...fingers crossed the new build fixes it ._____.

Exactly same in 14986.

14393 msstyles, original aero and others, works.
But, WSB not.

So, WSB need an Update !

Did you try uninstalling and re-installing WSB?

WSB is in a zip o_O wtf O_o

My thoughts exactly... ._:-.

(Also uh, does MSStyler (https://web.archive.org/web/20150222162025/http://www.hot.ee/kokorev/index.html) still work...?)

@3am WSB havn't any installer o_O

@Splitwirez (uh yes... why ? ._.)

Because that means we atleast still have a way to edit MSSTYLES, albeit one far less pleasant to use than WSB, so if all else fails, there's that... .___.

EDIT: (Btw, on a completely unrelated note, I apologize for inadvertently being your direct-ish competition (http://rob55rod.deviantart.com/) .-. )

Did anyone find a fix for this? Or we have to wait for an updated WSB version?

I think we have to wait...

For now, you can edit an .msstyles in 14393 and use it in RS2 builds, but I don't know until when. .msstyles from 14393 works in 14971 and 14986, I tested it.

I haven't been on Insider builds for a while. When 1703 releases I'll take a look at it.

Ow Panda ^^
Thx =]
Btw, Happy Easter 8D

The problem is still present with the 15063 ?

Thanks

Yes, until Panda release a new version (?)
