SKS7 Apply Skin button not working

Nothing happens when I click Apply Skin after making changes to a skin. SKS6 asked if I wanted to save the skin before applying but SKS 7 does not. I have to click Save Skin and the go to WB7 to actually load it.

Anyone else having this problem.

I think I'm running the latest beta release since 'Update' isn't displayed in the Impulse window.

EDIT: I meant to put this under the SKS7 bugs. Sorry.

Hi grcobb,

You might try running SKS 7 with your security disabled. I had a problem here at one time and had to "allow" SKS to run. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling SKS 7, reboot the computer and try installing it again. Make sure you verify the installation. It's working fine for me so far. I can apply the skin either in SKS 7 or in WB 7. The only thing I can't do is open SKS from withing WB 7 but that will come soon. I am using Windows 7 32 bit.

Uninstaled SKS7. Rebooted. Reinstalled SKS7. Verifed.

SKS7 Apply Skin still will not apply skin changes. If I click Save Skin in SKS7 and then click Apply Changes in WB7, the changes are applied.

Weird.

Win7 32-bit, doesn't matter if Nortons 2010 is turned on or off.

If SKS isn't asking when you click apply it either means no changes happened, or you have the option to prompt for saving disabled in the Skinstudio preferences tabs.

I had the save confirmation turned off but have now turned it back on. If I make a change and click Apply Skin in SKS7, the Save Changed window appears. I'll click Yes, the 'busy' cursor is displayed for about 2-seconds and the changes I have made are not displayed (for example, text color of inactive windows stays like it was). If I click Apply Changes in WB7, the WB 'skin change' window displays, the screen goes gray and blurry and the changes are then displayed.

Any other thoughts?
