I can tell you if you are going to start themeing it's the BEST $22 I ever spent for a program. It's a 1 man operation & after you buy it (need # to join) there is a forum there with a lot of help & some of us on the SevenForum can help too. Ask away

My opinion is opposite of that, worst 22 dollars I've ever spent. The app was supposed to have help file that would show detailed info/pics of the element that you click. I've found that it does do this for about maybe ten elements. Their forum is like SpongeBob Square Pants when Plankton took over his brain. You can't understand half of what they are trying to say. Most of their advice is dead on for the element that you want to change but it comes with side effects and will change something that you don't want to change. I only had about five things that I wanted to change but had already changed them using ResHacker. Style Builder is easy to use but it does have some quirks whilst using it.

Well judging from their site which by the way is VERY limited on information which is almost none , the writer of the software somewhere between a relationship that he is head over heels on , working on a degree in school and writing style builder, that tells me he is just juggling too many thing in his life at the moment ...... and if it does not have a complete help file then what good is it if you can't get help from the writer / forum / blog ?

You can't get into their blog or forum WITHOUT buying the software because you need the license number they give you to sign up or log in ?

Does anyone know where I can get this software to at LEAST try it without getting any "cooties" or another software that does similar?

I felt the same way before buying it but after joining there forum there are maps to show where things are. Here is forum you can join (free but can give) Virtual Customs • View forum - Windows Style Builder • Customize Your Virtual World! with some maps, it's a little of a learning curve but if I can do it just about anyone should be able to use it. If you have more ? ask.
