Can't convert Flatliner VS

Tuesday, May 17, 2005 by Thomas Thomassen | Discussion: SkinStudio

I tried converting "Flatliner RC 2" to WB format using SkinStudio, but it something is wrong. I don't get a error message, there is files in the skin's folder, but the previews shows blank, and SS can't open the converted skin.
Any ideas of what causing it?

hmm.... installed and opened just fine for me

Try this:
unpack the file into a temp folder.
Copy any of the .msstyles into the Windows resource folder (eg: c:\windows\resources\themes)
Open SKS, click file -> open (or ctrl+o)
Click the "import VS" button, top right hand corner and locate the flatliner.msstyles

When you get the "Import MSSTYLES" dialog, click options -> parameters and check off "optimized for maximum quality"
Then click the OK button (twice) and watch SKS do its thang

If you still isnt able to see/use the skin, uninstall and reinstall SKS and try again.

Yay! It worked after reinstalling SKS. Before I gave a rather odd error message:
A file of that format?
It might be very useful.
Here it will not work.


Thanks Showman! Have a carrot!
