_UskinLibrary.au3 (UDF) - Skin with DLL free (no ads) and fully functional!

[JScript 71]

Hello everyone!

Use skins for free is not an easy task and not very elegant, so I developed this UDF that I had been using in some programs that I did but that was not in the way of UDF!

Are just two files:

1 - _USkinDLL.au3

2 - _UskinLibrary.au3

And only these three lines to add to your scripts:

;
#include "_UskinLibrary.au3"
_Uskin_LoadDLL()
_USkin_Init(@ScriptDir & "SkinsOldSkool.msstyles"); <-- Put here your favorite skin...
;

Run or compile the script and enjoy!

Note: You can use the FileInstall() to attach the skin you want in your executable, or use the program ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> to embed the skin you want, there you will have to use this case as follows:

;
#include "_UskinLibrary.au3"
#include ".SkinsOldSkool.au3"; <-- This is an skin ".msstyles" embedded
_Uskin_LoadDLL()
_USkin_Init(_OldSkool(True)); <-- Put here your favorite Skin!!!
;

See the program documentation ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> for more information about how to call files embedded!

Note:

Some skins have problems if the program is compiled using UPX compression, to circumvent this problem compile your program with the following options added to the top of the source code:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=0        ;Compression parameter 0-4  0=Low 2=normal 4=High. Default=2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n            ;(Y/N) Compress output program.  Default=Y

Note: Only files are supported is "msstyles", but it is not a bother, since there are many sites with free downloads of these skins!

The use of this DLL is free, ad-free and fully functional!

@D4RKON3

I have not tested, but I think yes...

I have a problem, i can't explain it good but i hope you understand me.

in your examples you are using embedded USkin.dll file right? I don't want to use it as embedded, coz i'm going to use this skins at some kind of huge project and i'm using about 4 a3x files coz i want more than 1 loop at once.

Now i want to use one of this skins for all of them, i can use your example but it will increase my a3x's file size.

I hope you understand me coz i can't explain it better

Best Regards

[JScript 71]

Ok, I understand...

1- Remove this line #include "_USkinDLL.au3" in _UskinLibrary.au3

2- Change this:

Func _USkin_LoadDLL()
    Local $sDllName
 
    $sDllName = _USkinDLL(True)

to this:

Func _USkin_LoadDLL()
    Local $sDllName
 
    $sDllName = @Scriptdir & "\USkinDLL.dll"

3- To get "USkinDLL.dll", put this line in the top of your _UskinDll.au3: _USkinDLL(True, @Scriptdir), then run!

4- That's all

João Carlos.

Hi guys

I had a virus problem on my laptop the other day amnd when i ran superantispyware it flagged uskin dll and the skins as trojans. im wondering if anyone else has done any scans or found anything similar. Im thinking that whatever infection i had might have infected those files also.

On a side note this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys
