convert themepack to wba

It used to be possible, but now I believe you have to do it manually, piece by piece.

An MS themepack consists of sounds, walls and a modified color scheme for Aero.

Are you asking how to modify Aero into a wba?  Well, that's what skinning is all about. However, a .theme file is an .ini text file that is divided into sections, which specify visual elements that appear on a Windows desktop. Section names are wrapped in brackets ([]) in the .ini file.

Your WindowBlinds 7 should have come with already Modified Aero themes.

Doc..... I'm sure he knows what a .theme is.

5 or 6 years ago we could import theme files directly into SKS. A feature no longer available.
That's what this is about.

There is the msimport app to import visual styles into windowblinds. I have it. Is this what he wants?

I don't think it imports win 7 aero themes though.

Does it still work with the latest versions of SKS?
If so, then it might be just the right tool for the job.

Well, I dunno. I use it to import skins into WindowBlinds, not SKS.

Sorry to interrupt -

joelore told Hankers and me he has no msstyles on his computer.

Well, how dare you interrupt us.....lol. 

Thanks Doc!   

I don't they are all .theme files.

How about you make a list of exactly what you're asking about and put it in your next reply?

I don't know how else to ask. I have a big list of Windows .theme files in my Windows-Resources-Themes folder like OnlyBlack.theme. If I apply that through the WIndows Persnalize window it turns the theme dark almost black. I want to know if there is a was to import that into WB 7 to use.
