Talk:MSSTYLES

message: Perhaps this article could be renamed to "Visual style", put the current content under an MSSTYLES section, and describe the concept of Windows XP/Vista visual styles in general. It just seems a bit lacking how a detail about visual styles exists, but not about Microsoft's skin engine itself. -- Northgrove 10:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I mean unofficial editors because there're none official one. This file format is largely popular in resource/theme community but the program to deal with it only developed by hobbyists.

message: Previously, the release date of the format was listed as July 13, 2000, which does not have any reference linked, and I cannot find anything that points to the MSSTYLES format being introduced on July 13, 2000. I changed it to August 24, 2001 (the date Windows XP's RTM was released to manufacturing) for now, but I'm not sure what it should be listed as. Diyamund (talk) 23:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release date? 

message: A tool by the name of ThemeTool is being developed by someone named Lucas Brooks, which can supposedly decompile and recompile MSSTYLES themes, including some things which have been untouched before, such as animations (which are supposedly stored inside the MSSTYLES file in Windows 8 and up). Here is a Tweet from them showcasing the tool. Obviously, since this tool has no public build at all, there is no way to tell whether any of this is real or not short of reverse engineering the Windows Vista+ MSSTYLES format yourself. Just putting this here in-case the program ever does get released, because it could be massively useful. Diyamund (talk) 23:12, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
