I updated to the latest WB version and the color presets (.wbo files) dont seem to be available anymore.
I rely on these pretty heavily...sometimes I include many of these with my blinds.(they are in the screenshots of the skins...customers will feel cheated if they cant use them)
Are they gone or am I just being cornfuzled?
Look at the bottom of WBs when it's open, you should see: Visual Styles, the number of styles for that skin, Colours, Texture, Wallpapers...............
Click on Colours. Is that what you were looking for?
nope...dont think so...it dosnt seem to show any pre-existing color settings
The WB7 UI does not show the old .WBO files and hasn't done since the new UI was introduced.

I figured that was the case Neil...so...are they going to be brought back?
bunp !
bunt!
bring them back please...
They have been replaced with the new presets which you can create from the substyles dialog.
I spent a lot of time tweaking the original presets...they were sold as part of some masterskins.There were 9 on Slider XP.
Is there some reason WB cant access .wbo files anymore?
Yes. The old colour settings do not map to the new colour settings as how colouring is exposed to the user has been changed to make it more user friendly.
So its an interface thing...plus section header naming or name of the modifier.
Might there be an easy way of transferring the info to the new method?(I could then at least update the skins)
Or maybe include the in a dropdown list in the colors or substyles section...or will WB just no longer render them at all?
Thanks Neil.
I see that the wbo files can be renamed to a txt file, opened up and they look like any other ini files. So the good news is the settings remain there in an easily accessible format. I was hoping to have some brilliant idea of how to get them applied within WB7 but like the dog that caught the car, I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe helpful, maybe not.
