I believe visual styles skin only the parts that are supported by UIS1, which means your skin doesn't need to be UIS2, since none of the newer features are skinned in the original VS anyway.

However, if you want to add bits and pieces to your skin and make it an UIS2, then the only way I know of would be to start a new skin (obviously make it an UIS2) and then import all the graphics manually.

Having said that, maybe some of the skinners might know of an easier way to do that.

When convert, before hit ok, select options, click parameters, select optimized for maximum quality, select both
options for image corrections click ok then ok to convert, will be UIS2. When I port msstyles always port as UIS2,
as you can convert UIS2 to UIS1 with SkinStudio but can't convert UIS1 or 1+ to UIS2. UIS1+ has 2 images for window
frames top and bottom together, left and right togehter. UIS2 creates 4 frame images one for each.

No problem, if this is first time porting take your time using SkinStudio. Some things need settings changed to have
everything skinned. Example, from explorer tree Controls, Menu, Pull Down Background. On right, section area disable
flat menus so will be skinned. Check all menu parts, will have to enable some of the toolbar buttons. Depending on
the msstyle you ported you may even have to edit images to get the full WB look.
