There was a small isue detected with the "Edit Image" button - it would always ask for a new image editor to be set.
This issue has been quickly corrected in 1.5.0.3 which can now be downloaded  Embarrassed Whoops!

By the way for those editing the Documentation you can link to other parts, classes, and states by creating a link like vsb://Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand > TaskItemButton

I tried the new Color Search. As soon as I enter the first rgb value I get a screen asking me whether I want to search for that color in images too. I say yes and they show up. But I never get the chance to enter more than one value at a time, much less all 3 together.

Knowing me I'm likely missing something obvious. But I could use an explanation anyway. Thanks.

Awesome, thanks for the new release

Just one bug i noticed: when i import an image, the preview doesn't update (have to change position in the tree and go back to the modified part for the new image to display). And the undo button doesn't become active either

Sadly, I've lost my download link. But, I e-mailed Ave for another. Hopefully, I'll be able to make use of this amazing update.

I think I narrowed down, why this save bug thingy happens.

If I use the test button/or the "Use the VS" after saving, saving won't work anymore, this happens with AveStyler too, if I add and delete some VS to the list, I can't open the install dialog anymore *confused*

hope this helps Cheesy

The exe version should say 1.5.0.3, that's the leading version number.Right-click, properties, details.

Ok I found a problem
when I open a VS and change some images they don't show up right away i have to go to a different spot
example:
taskbar:1-change that image and it doesn't show up right away doesn't ask to change the image or resize the image
i click on taskbar:2 and than go back to taskbar:1 and the image is changed already.

the other problem:
I change some images run a test to see if they look right and than stop the test and try to save and it won't save
the same happens if i try to save if i am still in test mode too

so from what i see save is still not all the way fixed it was working great in 1.5.0.0 but om 1.5.0.3 it is broke again

Yeah, I hope AndreasV can fix those two bugs.  Especially the image one.  I wouldn't think it would be hard to, but what do I know.  Tongue

I'm just curious...

Do we still have to start the program from the command line so it doesn't change the image numbers (so it will work when we apply it)?

i.e. C:\Program Files\AveApps\Windows Style Builder\VistaStyleBuilder.exe -noupdateimageids

I believe the start orb is located in a system file on Win7, not the theme file.  the same goes for the nav buttons.

You can thank MS for that. Smiley

The only time you've had to do that is before 1.4 if you didn't change the firstImageId in the settings.
