I think this is the problem:

"Rocknesx=RockNESX"

It should be:

"Rocknesx=RockNES X" (there's a space before the X in the window title.)

Where to put it? =/

Edit: SKINbedder.ini is now as "original" as possible I think. (Attachment) Still doesnt work.

Edit2: Found class out: "iGMain=#32770,iGuidance" Still doesnt work...

I'll look into this before releasing the next version

I see you love Frodo. Are you using Frodoplayer by chance?

If you are using the latest version, there are a lot of changes...

This does nothing:

[Programs]
P0=C:\skinning****\skinbedd\SKINbedder_BETA_2.5\di stribution\Rocknesx.exe

You have:

[P0]
WindowName=RockNES X

...but P0 is not defined under [Panels] see:

[Panels]
iGMain=iGuidance

If you want to just get it to embed, go back to the default INI and just change the above line to:

[Panels]
iGMain=RockNES X

Thanks! =D
That worked... But the readme says:

P0=<path>\<filename>
P1=<path>\<filename>

A list of programs to embed. Must start with P0, then P1, then P2, ...

WindowName= The title of the window to embed.
Parameters= Parameters to send program
Directory= Set the directory
PanelColor= This will only be visible if the nudge settings reveal part of the panel.
PanelTop=
PanelLeft=
PanelWidth=
PanelHeight=
NudgeLeft=
NudgeRight= All nudge settings affect how the embeded
NudgeTop= program is displayed on its panel.
NudgeBottom=
Anchors= left, right, bottom, top
combine left and right for instance to make the panel resize automatically.
Any combinations will work

I just assumed that p in [P?] refered to the programs :S

Of course =) What else?

**RPM_VR4** · 07-13-2005, 06:57 PM

Yeah, it change a lot (and will change a lot more for the next release). Sorry the readme.txt wasn't updated.

It now doesn't launch programs. It will only launch "[SKINbedder] Startup=" at startup which should point to an AutoIt script. The AutoIt script does all the launching and nag killing.

Under [Panels] you list "{name}={windowtitle}". Then, whenever any window called {windowtitle} appears, it is automatically embedded and positioned according to the settings in the [{name}] section.

Buttons are still done the old way ([Buttons],B0=,B1=,B2=,etc.) but that will all be changed in the next version.

**RPM_VR4** · 07-13-2005, 07:00 PM

To further explain, you should change it to this:

[Panels]
RockNES=RockNES X

and then create a [RockNES] section with the correct settings for your program. (Copy the [iGMain] section and then adjust from there.)

In the next version I am working on, each program will have its own sub-directory (like a skin-graphics and ini-file "plugin") and SKINbedder.ini will only contain the main form settings and a list of programs (or "Plugins") to use. Then, each program/plugin directory will have its own INI containing what is currently in [iGMain], plus Button sections, and a list of "panels" to embed windows on. Finally, there will be "panel" sub-directorys in each program/plugin directory that contain their own INI and graphics for buttons to show only when that "panel" is visable. You will also be able to compleatly hide windows (Like iG's Main-Menu) and make your own custom skin to navigate with. On windows like iG's "Enter Street Address" you can skin the whole thing too, you just have to work around the square for the list-box so (basically just skin around anything that's an "output" and you can make your own custom interface for ALL the "inputs" in any program). We also may switch from INI to XML in an upcomming release, but probably not the next one.
