Hi Oleg
 
This guy has got quite a lot of info on creating and modifying Vista styles which I think are basically the same as Windows 7 ones.

Specific articles that might be useful are as follows:

These guys also seem to have managed to work it out, although I'm not sure it will be too useful for you, apart from perhaps binary comparing files after various changes:

Hope this helps.

Hello
Just wondered if the use of Windows 7 Visual Styles files was likely to be added to Skin Framework soon? The binary format for Windows 7 msstyles files is fairly well documented on the internet so it should be possible I would think.
This would be a great new feature, since the supply of XP msstyles files is gradually decreasing as most new skins designed now are for Windows 7.
 
Thanks.
Mark
