SkinStudio is a GUI design tool for creating interface designs that can be used with Microsoft Windows and its programs, including Windows Media Player.

The latest version, SkinStudio 4.5, offers new features such as the ability to import MSStyles into WindowBlinds seamlessly. You can also create visual styles with semi-transparent Start menu elements, thanks to per-pixel alpha blending. Additionally, SkinStudio supports Universal Skin Format (USF), so you can create skins from pre-made images and import .msstyles into USF.
The free version of SkinStudio is a great option for those looking to create their own Windows GUI. The free version includes support for USF, creating a skin from a pre-made image, creating a WindowBlinds skin, and importing .msstyles into USF. The latest version, SkinStudio 5.01, is a maintenance release that includes performance enhancements, further language support, and better skin previewing.
For users who want more advanced features, an enhanced version is available for only $19.95. This version includes the ability to use pre-made GUI widgets, import parts from other skins, and advanced skin colorizing. The Pro version is $29.95 and includes the ability to create Media Player Skins. The Pro version is part of Object Desktop, a suite of desktop enhancement programs from Stardock that allows you to fully customize Windows to look, feel, and function how you want it to. For only $49.95, you can get Object Desktop, which includes IconDeveloper, WindowBlinds, DesktopX, IconPackager, ObjectBar, WindowFX, SkinStudio, and much more.
