Wait...WindowBlinds will let you use regular .msstyles files from Windows XP on Vista? How do you do this? A LOT of people (including myself) would like to know about this...

That is quite possible.
Just import the msstyle(s) you want to apply, into SkinStudio and hit apply. The msstyle(s) will be converted to .wba.
As simple as that.

Yep! MSImport, with a couple of exceptions does an excellent job of converting .msstyles over, and I have over 140 .msstyles to convert! Oh well, it will definitely keep me busy for sure, after I finish Shimmer!

ID broke my link while jealous of me beating him then posted a direct link of his own.  He's a no-good, dirty, island dog.
