VisualDesigner for creating other skins

OK, just confirming, this will let me make the buttons inside the designer? Hmm.. I think you have been reading my other posts!

Guino..... Time to stop coding RR and code a export-provider for making skins for rR....

Kind of... you still have to make the graphics by yourself (or get them from elsewhere) because VD is no drawing tool.
But as you know from PhoCo, you can move them, size them, hide/show them apply a caption and other stuff.
With the right Export-Provider, you event don't have to put the coordinates into a .skin / .ini file anymore.

I cant run the editor... always get this error straight after running "Phonectldesigner.exe -Other=test" or even without the -other tag....

already regged the dll...

Did you copy it to PhoCo's installation dir?

It should be -Other=TST not TEST!

???
is that a joke?

dont get it if it is..hehehe
(i had the files in the wrong directory.... D'OH)

Anyways, I tried a demo button and exported, it seems to have exported both test_off and test_on as the same image??? I put a button with an image inside (icon), set the skin background, and exported with the sample exporter in JPG...

the color came as the same in both.... Also would it be possible to make outer glow (highlight effect), and button PRESSED for the on state?

Thanks so mcuh Z! this is amazing! just what I wanted for easier skinning!
