[Release] iGSkinner BETA 3.9.5

**0l33l** · 06-03-2005, 08:26 PM

Weird. Try it on your desktop. Are you embedding it in a frontend? Also, I'd change the WINDOW_TITLE to something besides iGuidance because sometimes the frontend will get overzealous and steal the window from iGSkinner

You'll be able to do this with the macro commands.

K, got it all working. Yippeee.

Now, for the next part, time to try skinning. Any FAQS that I can read. In particular, I think I understand your Skin.ini. Wondering how to add commands to added buttons?

Thanx for your great work.

Yay! Another person has it working

FAQs on skinning: not really

But it should be pretty easy... make sure to test it in your frontend, because some frontends do weird things in the way they embed iGSkinner..

I'm planning on changing some stuff in the skinning process. Like allowing some buttons to stay on top when you resize iGSkinner. So you can have the menu and enter commands on bottom and have zoom commands on top, and when you resize, they stay that way

Boris, any chance of hoping on AIM for a little. Wanna pick your brain a little.

You can probably use the CreateWindow API to make a window with the desired class name.. the problem is that you'll have to create your objects into it manually (not so simple). A simpler alternative would be to make window via API, clip it entirely off (so it is 100% transparent) and just move your "normal" window over it..

Ya, it doesn't click that pop up window. It only clicks the Warning/Nag scren about operating the SW while in a moving car. Either connect a GPS, or click it with you mouse/TS.

Is it clicking the Warning?
