Long time to refresh / change skins

Take now up to 45sec

from WinCustomize Forums
Hey, I don't know why, but actually it take easily 35sec and even 45sec when I hit the "Refresh Skin button" in SkinStudio. This is the same when I change of skin.
Why it took so mush time? Generaly it should take less than 15secs...
It's somewhat annoying to wait 45sec to see a minor change in your skin when you are working on a skin...
Any tips to make this faster?

I don't have a Refresh Skin button. I have Reload Preview.... that takes only a second. There's the Apply the skin button, but that's no different than loading a skin from WindowBlinds Configuration.

It doesn't matter how minor a change you have made, the entire theme has to be reloaded.

I agree it can get annoying, but a skinner has to learn to deal with it.

Ya, now that you say that it's "Apply The Skin"
There also "Reload Current Skin" in the dropdown menu, still do same thing.

I know that the whole skin need to be refreshed even if the change is a little pixel, but the thing I don't understands, why it take up to 45sec now when normaly it's way more fast than this...

I just tested this, appling the skin via WB Config, and then loading the same skin in SkinStudio, and using the Apply skin button. Both methods took about 15 seconds.

Maybe there's a problem with the skin you're working on, that is causing the lag...
