So is this place dying or what
Hardly anyone posts here anymore
NO update for WSB in what 9 to 10 months
No word as if there will be an update
There is nothing going on with new things that can be done with Visual Styles
It is so quiet that I can here the server running on the other end (lol)

Usually there would be betas of the next version for testing. This time there hasn't been anything since the release. (Also ignore that edited by Panda X, I hid modify by mistake.) |

1) Forum topics and posts are almost hitting the low of April 2009. New member numbers are the worst ever.
But the majority of topics and posts were always the same questions asked over and over again. So weeding those out may not be such a bad thing. Maybe people are finally learning how to use the forum search lol.
2) I learned some new things about msstyles in the last couple of months anyway. And a lot about system files. So it wasn't a complete loss as far as I'm concerned.
3) I guess Panda has finished his part in WSB 1.6 ( new XMLs, Stylehacks, BASE.msstyles etc). So now it's up to Ave. Maybe he's not talking because there is nothing to talk about. WSB 1.6 seems to be at the bottom of his list of priorities. Maybe nothing is getting done and he doesn't want to admit it.
4) AveStyler, ResourceSpy, the Caption Button editor have all disappeared without a word of explanation. Hopefully WSB 1.6 won't suffer the same fate. It's not as if Ave has to talk to us face to face or anything. This wall of silence is lousy customer relations however you look at it.

Hmm I see that too but here I got an email from Ave that 1.6 is being worked on you would think he would just come out and say it instead of putting it in the wiki like that
And if he did that is total bullshit that he would end it that way and not have the nerve to tell people up front that this project is done for
just the avestyler I bought it and a week later the site was down so that mean if i lose the files i lost my money and that is bull crap

VistaStyleBuilder 1.6 is being worked upon:
+ fixes to the XMLs by Panda X
+ dialog bug still researching
+ several other small fixes
+ re-engineering the MSStyles compiler engine to be ready for future additions (this takes quite some time)
Over time, there have been several new features and even Windows 7 compatibility, for free. You have to understand that to make a normal living, we have to invest into multiple products - especially since piracy rates on Windows Style Builder has sky rocketed lately (for every sale we make, we see about 200 pirated copies, most of which (50%) are used on a regular basis still).
About AveStyler: the AveStyler product has been sold to a 3rd party which I'm not allowed to name yet due to contractual obligations. Existing AveStyler installs and activation keys will continue to work, of course.
I'm aiming for a september release for 1.6.

ResourceSpy, the Caption Button editor have all disappeared without a word of explanation. ResourceSpy and the Caption Button changer are all research projects: + caption button changer depends on changing hardcoded offsets in memory, something which is potentially dangerous. + I think we can release ResourceSpy as freeware for the windows-modding community, soon. |

This is less like a forum than a ghost town Where did everyone go? License based registration removed over half of the active members. Users who no longer theme / stopped theming for a while. Those who already know how to fully make a theme / don't ask for help. All that's left is about 1 person/mo who makes a thread about how to do x and the 8 of us who still help. |
