Checklist

Below is a list of things that restyle needs to be able to do.

Parsing

• CMAP (class map)
• BCMAP (base class map)
• VMAP (variant map)
• VARIANT (properties)
• AMAP (animation map)
• RMAP (root map) (? what is this)
• Strings (typically found in MUI)

The following resource types are present in the default theme, but UXTheme does not seem to care about them: DESKTOP, IMMERSIVE, PVL

Decompilation

• Writing classes and properties to INI files
• Writing animations to file (possibly XML format?)
• Writing basic theme metadata to INI file (strings, variants)

Compilation

• CMAP
• BCMAP
• VMAP
• VARIANT
• AMAP
• RMAP
• Strings

Final goal

• Decompilation and re-compilation of the default Windows 10 aero.msstyles theme resulting in a usable theme (with theme signature enforcement disabled through patches)

VARIANT and AMAP data both use a standardised record format.
