VisualStyles in SKS?
What happened to SKS's ability to import VisualStyles?
Thursday, April 7, 2011 by DigitalCHET | Discussion: Skinning
I've just updated SKS to version 7 (Pro) and wondered what happened to its ability to import VisualStyles for porting to WindowBlinds?
There are some fantastic VSs around and I'd love to be able to port some of these to WB for personal use. I don't really want to have to apply the UXTheme patch. 
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I think this question has been asked a few times before. I wish it was possible to import windows 7 visual styles to SKS.....because there are some great ones out there. I've actually been using UXtheme patch more than windowblinds in the last year or so.
Maybe it will be possible someday, but I think the custom visual styles out there are just too complex / diverse for SKS to handle with one import command. That's my guess........and it's definitely just a guess.

Heh, heya MadDeez. 
Been ok, just heaps busy with work so taking some time to customize my desktop again.
G3mpi3, it used to be possible with version 5, IIRC, but somewhere along the way it seems that ability was removed. I hope it gets put back in.
