Oh yeah, one other bit of weirdness ... although I can't say for sure it didn't exist before the SKS6 update. Despite the entry of my personal data (author name, website, etc), the preview in WB config still shows Stardock as the author of the skin.

Update:

I 'fixed' both these issues by opening the skin in SKS6, exporting to a WBA, changing to a different skin in WB config, deleting the one I had been working on and re-adding it using the WBA I had created.

The odd thing is that I have two other skins in progress that have never been made WBAs and they don't give me the error in SKS5 nor do they have Stardock listed as the author in WB config preview.

It would be nice to know what it was about that skin that flagged it as UIS1 to SKS5.


Started a ticket 3 days ago (Wednesday, 26th), maybe Support can shed some light.

You can try what I did in the previous post, lovely

Haven't heard back from Stardock Support yet, so it's still unknown as to what causes SKS5 to think the skin is in UIS1 format.

In my case, performing the steps I listed apparently changed something in the skin enough to satisfy SKS5.

Having simular problems here also - but only with some skins - not all...
Was gona edit colours and it was rather hard to do with no preview.
Think I'll try and get the ole sks5 back in there - this new one has problems seems.

Update ..

I heard from Mike with support. Unfortunately, there's not really an answer for why SKS5 does this on some skins. And since it is no longer supported/developed, the best we can do is try to find a workaround. The steps I took worked for me .. sorry I can't offer more.

I have let Mike know of the shortcomings of SKS6 which is the reason for continuing to use SKS5. Hopefully, they will implement all the features in SKS6 soon, so we won't need SKS5 any longer.

...thank you so much for your reply!!!!
I realy appreciate it a lot!!!!
Well, I hope they update SK6, because the way it is now it`s not usable for me, like Shelby already sayd, it`s hard to edit colors with now preview.......!!!

Thanx again!!!

A shame too...SKS5 is a better tool than 6...I would pay extra for a version of 5 with vista capabilities. (
