Maybe have it as a silent background task that can send commands to your exe to allow what others user could do IF they were using the exe program alone.

Hope that makes since... If not let me know and ill give more detail.

The firmware will be sending a bytestream through a *.dll that can be interfaced easily with .NET languages.

So if you do not want to use the skinnable application, then you can still use the dll and create your own interface.

It will be quite a bit of work though, because it sends raw byte data, and you would have to interpret this into the correct formats for button presses, analogue readings, and such. How to do this will be documented and given out on release, but bear in mind that it will be a huge undertaking. I should know, I am doing it!

I will post more information on the software hopefully in just a bit.
