SkinStudio 7.3 Released

Stardock has released SkinStudio 7.3 today.  SkinStudio is an application that lets you create visual styles, also called skins, for Windows 7, Vista, and XP.  These skins are applied using WindowBlinds and can change the entire look and feel of the Windows user interface.  This upgrade brings several enhancements to the default skin and content settings.

Update includes:

  • Updated included template skin for improved Windows 7 support for new skins
  • Updated settings definitions
  • Added white button text setting validation for Office high-contrast compatibility
  • Fixes for paths not rewriting for colors/fonts on Save as operations

SkinStudio is available as a free download, and a Pro version is available with advanced features like Animation Builder, substyle syncing, and more.

Quoting DrJBHL, reply 25
I believe Lightstar posted (in the distant past - 2009) that it still worked for XP but that for Vista and W7 you would have to make additional adjustments in SKS. The last version of SKS which used that utility was SKS5.

Yep, I use the MSImport utility all the time still, just used it a little while ago to import an older XP .msstyles to WB and working on a WB for it now for all three OS's (XP, Vista and 7).  With the exception of a couple of minor issues I pointed out to Neil in 2009, that I doubt like Doc said will be ever be fixed, it works great.  I do not know though if it will import .msstyles that were specifically designed for Windows 7 though, I have only imported XP .msstyles files to date.
