This means that theīrowserTab class inherits (reuses) the parts, properties and states of Tab, and just defines a few that override existing ones or are an addition. You will also encounter classes with :: in their names, such as BrowserTab::Tab. Fortunately its quite simple, so the figure below should give you the basic understanding required. Understanding of the logical structure of visual styles is helpful when using this program. The following chapter might help a bit though. It may be a bit puzzling at first to figure out what each class/part/property effects. Things are named and structured as they were by the developers at Microsoft. No abstraction over the internals is done. In order to apply the visual styles, your Windows must also be patched with one of the following tools, because Microsoft locks-out third party themes.
