Where is the script being run from, and where are the skin files being stored?

EDIT: Almost forgot, if running on a 64 bit OS you need the line #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n added to the script, as this won't work in 64 bit mode.

Update: The NEEMedia website (www.neemedia.com) is gone, offline. Seems like the developer of the USkin dll doesn't exist any longer.

BTW, has anyone found a way to get this to work with Unicode text on the controls that are skinned?

Hey, the windows 7 theme files doesn't work. This UDF works for only themes of win xp

That's correct, it will only work with *.msstyles formatted files from XP. Although the skins work just fine under Windows Vista+.

Ok I finnaly FOUND the link on the internet ! The main Link is broken so this has exactly the same source codes as the original !!

Searching for a simple skin system, I saw other methods but this is very simple

So downloaded for previous post link (link OK !) and tested with latest autoit v3.3.12.0 on win8 and win7 64 bit.

Fully functional except for some minor glitches with some skins:  in a couple of skins progress bar not updating, but I repeat only in a couple of skins.

Applied to two  pre-existing GUIs of  scripts of mine with no problems.

For now  I'll will adopt this skin system in my projects, thank for you work.

Hello!

These glitches have been seen in other posts here, but no solution for it!

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for using it.

The end of a dream...

No I am kidding but I have had problems with a complex (for me...) GUI , there was 2 progress bar and after a number of updates of the second bar (after having opened and closed some sub-gui) freeze the entire script with one cpu core 100% .

Btw same script in standby:

• no skin = cpu idle,
• with skin one core 30%.

So I think I limit the use of this system only for simple and short scripts.

I'm sorry for reply to very old thread but this is the only worked skin without need to change my Existing Gui Buttons codes , this _UskinLibrary working very well but the and it's wonderful the only issue that screen always dim out win open program ( like I applied the skin to windows) 

Is there is anyway to solve this problem ? I hope...
