A couple of questions about shellstyle.dll

[gsw953]

Hi I have a couple of about shellstyle.dll,base and wsb.
First I think I half understand it,for example "Shellstyle:GenericLayout, 13, 0, 3602" would be edited in WSB by going to the
13 property of shellstyle:genericlayout?
What do the last 2 numbers represent(the 0 and the 3602)?
So in theory if I say, wanted the Reading pane and Homegroup windows to always have the same matching gradients I could just
edit the bp_pane to get it's background from the same place as the ReadingPane:
background="themeable(Gradient(gtc(ReadingPane, 1, 0, 3810), gtc(ReadingPane, 1, 0, 3811), gtc(ReadingPane, 1, 0, 3812), 4), window)" ?
One other question,In the shellstyle gradients are ARGB colors and in WSB they are RGB's.Is the a way to control the A part(transparency) in WSB?

It's "Class, Part, State, Property" so it would be Shellstyle > Shellstyle:GenericLayout > PreviewMetadata

If you don't already, run wsb with the -debug flag so you can see the status bar, it makes it easier to navigate. ex in the target box of VistaStyleBuilder.exe's properties "X:\My Programs\Customization\Ave's Apps\Windows Style Builder\Windows Style Builder.exe" -debug

Yes you can share properties like that by using the same attributes.

The msstyles only supports RGB unfortunately so the only way to use transparency is via DirectUI.
