I have a .msstyles file and I am examining what SkinBuilder can do with the file. So I open the file and go to General/System Metrics and I change the CaptionBarHeight by keying in a new value and hitting return. The preview changes and I see the change in the caption height.

Cool.

Now I want to save out the msstyles file. There is a "Save" icon in the SB UI that is enabled. I click it and the file I opened is not saved to disk. I monitored the file system to see where the file might be getting saved but ProcMon shows no file activity when I click save.

How do I save this file out so I can run my app with it and see the effects of the changes I have made in SB?

I finally found out how to do this. The file menu has an export command that exports to a cjstyles file. But it gets tricky. Once I open a skin, the SkinBuilder menu goes completely black. But the menu is still there to I can fish around to get to the commands. And sometimes when I run the export to cjstyles file, the dialog insists on saving the file to a .skinproj file. If that happens, I can manually change the extension to cjstyles and the file gets saved.

So just ignore that "save" button on the toolbar below the menu. It seems to be worthless.
