Converting Msstyles to WindowBlinds visual styles

This was asked recently so here's a quickie guide on how to do it.

(1) Download SkinStudio 4 beta from http://www.skinstudio.net

(2)Choose Convert MSStyles

(3) Choose the one you want. I'm using StefanKa's cool "6 pack" visual style.

(4) Now you're in Universal Skin Format mode. You can now edit the visual style in whatever way you'd like. I.e. change color, move buttons around, tweak it a bit here and there.

(5) Then File-Save As... Choose WindowBlinds UIS1 or UIS2 (UIS1 = faster UIS2 = more features -- either will work with an msstyle).

(6) Final result.
