Thanks for sharin it with us!

[Belini]

@ Jscript I thank you for explaining, @ WhiteStar follow the link in RapidShare: https://rapidshare.com/files/678729513/skin_tool.rar

If anyone is interested, here is images of a Work In Progress using this skinning system. These skins and this system is working pretty much as I hoped it would and is a Gift for those of us who want to make a nice GUI with a nice sharp look.

EDIT: April 02,2012 Replaced link with working one.

This is still preliminary but shaping up nicely:

The main skin of choice for me right now is "E" but I am leaning towards TrekGrey but that's a decission for later ;-)

The Album above has 4 images using E, then I switched the themes to present the differences. Al least this is a good example of these Themes at work

E #1 Choice (current one I'm using for dev, may change to one of the others below)

Flow

Luminati

Platinum

Reflex #2 Choice

Safari

Trekgrey #3 Choice

Vertigo

I noticed in the _USkinDLL function you can specify whether to save the file to disk or use it from memory, how would you go about using it from memory if you didn't want to write it to disk?

[JScript]

@WhiteStar

Very nice example, thanks!!!

@BrewmanNH

If you refer to file "_USkinDLL.au3," I thought implement this, but we already have a UDF that can run the DLL directly from memory, check out this link:

But if you're talking about the Skins, this for example: _OldSkool () , if the first parameter is true, saved to disk, if false, returns in binary format, in which case I do not know how the DLL could use the Skin direct from memory...

João Carlos.

So far, I am having a lot of fun experimenting with these skins but I've hit a small issue that I can't figure out. If you look through the slide show in post #64 it's really highlighted with a few of the skins.

The label text for Group Boxes (GUICtrlCreateGroup) and Check Boxes (GUICtrlCreateCheckbox) have an issue with the background colour shading.

I've tried a variety of different (GUICtrlSetBkColor) but nothing seems to fix it. Ideally, making them transparent so the skin background is shown would be perfect but I can't seem to find the trick for it.

I'm asking in this posting, because it appears to be related to the skinning process, as these artifacts do not appear without skinning.

Which skins are causing the issue, because I don't see it with the ones I've tried so far?

[WhiteStar]

Which skins are causing the issue, because I don't see it with the ones I've tried so far?

See Post 66 for the ones I am using/testing, they all do it but Luminati, Reflex & Safari being the most obvious. Check out the slideshow in Post #64

I had this issue with Windows before I reinstalled it on the computer I'm using now, it was a Windows graphics issue, and had nothing to do with the skins as far as I could see. Those skins work ok for me on this computer after the reinstall. Reinstall was because the computer had a bad hard drive and not because of anything other reason.

[Vinh]

It's very usefull, thank you

But I have a little trouble, i think it don't support unicode (Vietnamese)

I make this skin by StyleBuilder

No, my skin isn't similar to the WIN XP; scrollbar, checkbox is different

[Venix]

This is really good, great work!

[Vinh]

it don't work if i pack my program by molebox

[BrewManNH]

You can't pack the program after it's been compiled, I've had problems with it using UPX as well, just don't use a packer and you should be ok. It will be larger in size, but it's only a few MBs at most, probably more like a few KBs difference.

@Venix

You are welcome!!!

So I'm having trouble compiling scripts and keeping the skin on there.

When running via Scite or just AutoIt the skin works 100%. But then if I compile I lose the skin.

I'll just post the example script, with the compiled options set to on. Because it says if your compiling due x, so I did that but still nothing. Someone wanna explain what I'm doing wrong?
