Title: Cant save my themes
Post by: chiwou on September 11, 2009, 01:20:22 pm
Actually I am little disappointed I bought this tool because the website said that I can edit and create win 7 themes, but in 9 of 10 cases I can't save the edited theme or the app just stopped working, I don't know about the Vista compatibility, I switched from XP to Win7.

I got my copy from the MSDN and use the final of Win7, I read in another topic that maybe the problems is that the developer don't have the final of win7 and so he can't test it, but then its not a good idea to advertise that the tool works with Win7.
If there is a beta version or something, I had no problems to be a beta tester ;)

take care =)

You are right, Windows 7 support is very broken and it shouldn't be advertised just yet, imo.
Hopefully Ave gives us a working Windows 7 Style Builder soon...

My experience is that it works just fine under Win 7. But you have to implement the fix mentioned here (http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=399.0) about the FirstImageId first. After that any themes worked on previously should be resaved.

I did that and I think it has nothing to do with the crashing of VSB ;)

i get the same problem as you when ever i want to save a theme or test it I would get erros or it would stop responding. One way Ive sorted this out is when you select a theme to edit select the default aero theme in the resources folder, then save it as anythin you want and it will save and work properly. If you get a testing error, then try changing an image and it should work fine for me it does anyway. sometimes you may have to press save or est themes a couple of times until its successful.
