Microsoft came up with a great program that does it.
Called something like 'Windows'.......

SkinStudio shows virtually every control possible. What control does SkinStudio not show?

Frogboy, there is this 'mouse over' option for the startmenu, it is normaly a square with a custom color but you can also change it into a 'custom shape'/object, I hope you know what I mean

I would indeed be cool if the war a "preview" button in SkinStudio where it would open a Window similar to the one you already see, but with all buttons, toolbars, scrollbars, progressbars, etc live. Where you could test it in action all in one window.
Yes, indeed, that would be cool.

Sounds cool! I dont know how much I would use it, but maybe once I started making WindowBlinds themes I would use it more.

I report for duty SoliD_NuTs. I also agree with you. SkinStudio is great and gives a little bit live preview, but I isnt RealTime.
And it could also use GIF's For animation.

The only one I've ever been able to find that it doesn't show is the 'Tree View Expander' bitmap. Maybe I'm just missing the place where it displays in SkinStudio.

However, this tiny bitmap is not a big deal. It really was hardly worth mentioning.
