--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WSB 1.6 Ideas:

•• Goto have the ability to use the same path as difftool (<ButtonStyle>.<1>.<1>)
•• Goto have the ability to use DirectUI like paths (BUTTONSTYLE, 1, 1)
•• COLORIZATIONCOLOR:INT show color rather than integer / Use color picker
•• Font replacer (Replace font that matches x with y)
•• Font preview in property box
•• Color replacer (Replace color that matches x with y)
•• Image alpha tagger1
•• DWMWindowIsChanged::Bool2
•• Font picker automatically opens upon adding
•• Color picker automatically opens upon adding
•• When opening a theme copy Shell to %temp%
•• Open help in new window button.
•• On Test/Apply reuse last DWM Colorization Color.


1On import VSB will add a value into the image to represent whether or not the image has been alpha fixed. When export then imported again VSB will check this value then either import by its default function or import and skip the alpha conversion based on this value.

2WSB will check if the end-user has modified any classes in DWMWindow. If not the stream will be ignored on compile preventing pixel alignment errors.

The current stable is still 1.5. All versions above it are beta builds. When a new stable version comes out an email is sent out. The reason there's a huge gap between versions is because Ave has been too busy to work on it and I've just started programming on it, and I'm learning as I go since I'm still new to C++.

Thanks for the reply Panda X, I look forward to the next release when it comes out and I am sure many others here too. Windows Style Builder is probably the best $23 I have spent on the internet in a very long time

building themes for Windows 10 is a joke because NOBODY will help other themers so they can build their themes correctly and Ave WON'T update the software for Windows 10

Could you explain how you arrived at this opinion since there are many beautiful themes here on this forum which support Windows 10 remarkably well, and we all help each other out the best we can.

All of your themes are cool but the theming tutorial is terrible. It is missing important things and the software is not updated correctly for winodws 10. I cannot change the start menu graphics or the text color in start menu items for use with Star Is Back because windows style builder dosn't display any of the start menu options.

I also cannot find how to change the color and style of the right click menu on the desktop and taskbar in windows 10 but all of the themers here seem to do it without problem but they never respond to my request for help.

Would L>3VE TO see Classic Shell integration. Has more features and user friendly over SIB.

Classic Shell doesn't have custom taskbar integration like SIB has which we need for custom themes, Without SIB's custom taskbar integration adding a custom taskbar to custom Windows theme in Windows 8 / 8.1 and 10 becomes an entirely separate process.
Besides "user friendly" only depends on the user. I have used Classic Shell, matter of fact I am forced to use it at work, I hate it and would take SIB any day over it.
