Any chance that AHK GUIs are getting skinable?

There are a few posts <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... light=skin<!-- m --> I thought steamlab was also a "skinned gui" but can't check as these screenshots seem to be offline

Why not? This was done with USkin. Applying a Skin to existing GUI scripts hardly takes 3-4 lines, However - I became less interested in it because it does not support all controls.

USkin.dll is packed with some less known commercial packer for compression/protection . VirusTotal result

My second kid had born ( he is 8 m.o now ) and since then my contributions to the community has been pathetic.. and currently/past 1 yr, I am/have been tired/busy constructing a farmhouse.

Would you mind to give some details on (HowTo do) this?

Would I?

Download the following 2 files:

Code Example:

#SingleInstance, Force
hMod := DllCall("LoadLibrary", str, A_ScriptDir "\[color=red]uSkinFree.dll[/color]")
a := DllCall( "uSkinFree.dll\USkinInit", Int,0, Int,0, Str, A_ScriptDir "\[color=red]TheSkinFile.u3[/color]")

I guess I got these files from neemedia.com or some chinese website. The code project article does not link to these files or the skin-studio software required to create/alter the skin files.
You may try my copy of FUI Skin Studio at your own risk: <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... Studio.zip<!-- m -->

Well, we all know how it ends if guys like you start building a house for their loved ones ... Click

Most of Indians ( atleast in South India ) consider Taj Mahal as a symbol of love ( and not as a mausoleum ). It just does not occur to us. There are 100's of native romantic movies that has a reference to it.

But I differ... I do not see any love in it.. only the bloody hands. :|

http://www.indiantra...al-history.html

There are ugly aspects to the legend of the Taj Mahal. It is said Shah Jahan had the hands or fingers of the craftsmen who built the Taj Mahal cut off to ensure they couldn't create another building like it. The chief architect was supposedly beheaded.

PS: Thanks for your first PM in 4.5 years.. I am honoured

But I have 2 questions:

1.) Which Controls doesn't work with v2?

2.) Have you seen v3 ?


regarding 2:
I've seen version 3 online and tried to use it with AHK (the free-functions) but I can't get it to run...

USkinInit(skin, dll = "USkin.dll", uName = 0, rCode = 0) { 
   hMod := DLlCall("LoadLibrary", Str, dll) 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinInit", Str, uName, Str, rCode, Str, skin) 
} 

USkinExit(dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinExit") 
} 

USkinLoadSkin(skin, dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinLoadSkin", Str, skin) 
} 

USkinAboutSkin(dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinAboutSkin") 
} 

USkinGetMenu(hwnd, dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinGetMenu", UInt, hwnd) 
} 

USkinUpdateMenuBar(hwnd, dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinUpdateMenuBar", UInt, hwnd) 
} 

USkinApplyColorTheme(hue, sat, dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinApplyColorTheme", Float, hue, Float, sat) 
} 

USkinRemoveSkin(dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinRemoveSkin") 
} 

USkinRestoreSkin(dll = "USkin.dll") { 
   Return, DllCall(dll "\USkinRestoreSkin") 
}

v3.0 is avaliable at Neemedia.com

1.) Which Controls doesn't work with v2?

IIRC, I was unable to control the BG color for EDIT / ListView controls.

2.) Have you seen v3 ?

No! I will check it out.. Thanks.
