Porting Question
Does anyone remember how to port themes from RS1 (Anniversary Update) to RS2 (Creators Update)?
Been looking all over VC for the instructions and if they are here I cannot find them, I have been trying to port Razorsedge AC/DC Rock or Bust theme to RS5, the last copy of the theme I have and can find is from RS1 and the port is not going well, keep getting an error in the .msstyle file.

That's the problem, it needs to be ported from RS1 to RS2 then ported again to RS5 (maybe) won't know until I can get it to RS2 because sometimes Razorsedge's themes can be a little squirrelly sometimes.
I think Shem ported it once for someone to RS2, I found a link but when I clicked it the thread is no longer there.Last edited by Dark Knight; December 24th, 2018 at 08:11 PM.

I may be wrong but I think according to this RS1 and RS2 work equally since these import scripts seem to make them work on everything from RS1 to RS4 [I may be wrong]

but here are the import scripts for RS5

I know the immersive context menu currently can't be disabled in RS5. I'm hoping somebody can find a new working workaround for that [even if it turns out to be a standalone program to replace the windows 10 context menu].

Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme
Open the the theme you want to import and do not save.
Select Import Style Hack and select "10 Import Fix" (will have white flashing screen if this step is missed)
Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and you are done.
also, razorsedge's themes have three properties which usually cause the error when imported to win 10..
Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > MinColorDepth:Int > any values that are less than 15... i've seen him using 4 or 6 here but for the import to not throw an error it needs to be 15
also there are two others under the same tree which are
TextShadowOffset: Position
&
TextShadowColor:Color
as these already exist under Fonts, Colors & System Metrics > Colors (Globals), they can be deleted
i cant remember exactly, but the latter two i think are not the culprit.. it's the first one.. but i guess better safe than sorry
