Additional Tools

This repository also contains several tools for Windows Visual Style files (.msstyles):

1. UxThemeEx: Provides many Visual Style functions
   from uxtheme.dll with the ability to draw native controls using a specific
   .msstyles file. Not intended for general use as it is quite fragile and may
   break if certain Windows components are updated.

2. ThemeBrowser: Allows viewing and comparing .msstyles files. It also provides
   helpful utilities to inspect images and recreate those with WPF paths.

   

3. ThemePreviewer: Provides previews and comparisons of built-in controls using
   Windows and WPF themes.

   

Building

Requires Visual Studio 2019 with .NET / C++ (v142) workloads including the
Windows 10 SDK component.

UxThemeEx requires EasyHook via
vcpkg-built NuGet package. To build,
use the Tools\Build-Dependencies.ps1 script from a Visual Studio developer
prompt or similar.

To build a nuget package, run msbuild -t:Pack in the root directory and check
the dist directory.
