Hi Guys!

I'm announcing Style7

Style 7 is a Windows 7 theme generator. It uses the default Microsoft Aero theme as base and generates a new theme using blackbox styles. Blackbox styles are created with a single, simple, human-readable, configuration file. Thousands of these themes are readily available for download on the internet. (Customize.org for easier-than-google-theme search)

You will need UxStyle Core or UxTheme patcher to run the Unsigned Themes created by Style7.

so it is actually a theme converter, it converts BB styles to win7, making use of Aero as the default template, it then inserts the BB files in to the theme as needed, am i right?

that sounds pretty awesome

[ThunderROM]

Wow, nice release, and welcome to WinMatrix.

@Villain

BB styles?

Can this convert Vista VS's?

[Webtrance]

Wonderful! Wish it would translate into aero and not just basic. It's nice to see most colors carried over in translation...could save a lot of time recoloring themes! As it stands, I have to export all basic images, fix them up a little, and replace the themes aero/win7 images if I want to run the theme in aero. That can be time consuming of course. Overall, good job and I can see this going very far!

Blackbox? Never heard of it.

@ usg : Then you have never run Linux seriously. all linux power users at one point in time has used Fluxbox / blackbox / openbox / *box.

[K.L.Devine]

@kludgeteer you should add some editing features.

[kludgeteer]

Style7 updated, runs with composition enabled (aero,transparency,effects..)
please, try out and send some comments

re:editor, most probably.

I think it works 'like it should'...
All (default) styles are to basic, squared and ugly but i haven't checked any other themes so i don't know about that...

Any Blackbox theme released using Style7?
