SkinStudio 6 Pro and *.msstyles skins

Is conversion no longer possible?

Sunday, June 8, 2008 by sophiesboy | Discussion: Skinning

A long time ago, I was able to convert *.msstyles skins to *.wba format by loading the msstles skin into SkinStudio and saving it appropriately.

Yesterday, for the first time in a long while, I wanted to do the same and it seemed that this is no longer possible.

I am using SkinStudio Pro 6 Version 6.00.011.

It appears that SS6 will only allow me to load wba files that are part of my machine's Windowblinds active library, or create a brand new wba file from scratch. There does not seem to be any way to browse for a file and load it. Without an ability to load the msstyle file there would seem to be no way to convert it.

Has a decision been made not to allow for the conversion of msstyles files, or am I missing an obvious step somewhere?

I don't think they've implemented the ability to convert msstyles yet, you can still download SKS5 and convert them. It won't install over SKS6 so you can run both side by side.
