SkinStudio 4 beta available!

Tuesday, September 2, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Ever wanted to try your hand at skinning? SkinStudio 4 makes it easier than ever. SkinStudio 4 lets you create visual styles for a variety of programs (best known for creating visual styles for WindowBlinds).

Version 4 introduces a new skinning format called the Universal Skin Format (USF). Users/skinners can import skins into USF from, for instance, .msstyles, and export them to other formats such as WindowBlinds and Windows Media Player.

To learn more about it and to get the beta go here: https://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudio/sks4/

Maybe the public beta will draw more people to skinning. And I mean - quality skinning.

why doesn't this show up on SDC? i've got the option to show beta and pre-release stuff show, but the latest update i have to skinstudio is something like june 28th. (i did manage to download it from the link above, but am hesitant to install it for fear it will cripple my full featured version from OD. not that i've EVER made a skin, mind you, but just in case

Sounds like you've got a messed up install of SDC. Try reinstalling?

I noticed that many times after I make a change to my skin and choose "Reload current skin" from SkinStudio, I get a blue screen of death in XP pro SP1. This was not happening with older versions.

Citizen LStatie,
I have not changed a bit of that code, this must have coincided with some other change on your system. That's not really much it does while it applies a skin, it simply send a message to WB to reload. Exactly the same thing that WB config dialog does, AFAIK.
