How do I convert a UIS1+ skin to UIS2 (using SkinStudio)

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm trying to convert a UIS1+ skin to UIS2, so I can get some advanced button functionality. Is there any easy way to do this, or do I have to recreate the skin?

If you hit "Save As", does it give you the option to save as a UIS2?

Why would you want to do that?

Good question, Brad. I'm trying to alter an existing skin for personal use. The titlebar looks like this (similar to RiscOS):

X Icon Title Max Min

For some reason, in UIS1+, the close button keeps wanting to pop up the system menu...but only on some windows...like Explorer. I don't have this problem with UIS2 skins.

Also, I assume that UIS1+ doesn't support MaxBorderCut? SKS tells me that it's an unknown attribute and will be ignored...and it's right. Again, not a problem with UIS1+.

In case you're wondering...the reason I make these changes is to make the skin more compliant with Fitts's Law...it makes use MUCH faster for me.

Ooops...that should be "Again, not a problem on UIS2" (4th paragraph)
