this sounds sweet!

Is it just the download for the skin editor?

guino · 10-23-2007, 01:06 PM

For now, yes.. I'm still debugging on a few things in RR.

treetop777 · 10-23-2007, 01:38 PM

OUTSTANDING! Thanks

EL CAMINO · 10-23-2007, 05:12 PM

you did it again guino, thanks a million!!.

guino · 10-23-2007, 05:45 PM

New version -- Thread updated.

treetop777 · 10-23-2007, 08:17 PM

I must have downed the wrong file

There is no FILE>CREATE; FILE>EXIT; i don't see any option to load/edit/save...

guino · 10-24-2007, 12:08 AM

There's no File->Exit, that is easily added (but you can close it using the RED X on the top right)..

To create a brand new screen: Click File->Open, hit "Make New Folder", name it, hit OK -- it will ask you to create a blank general.ini file, say YES, then from the Screen menu, click create new screen as many times as needed.

Guino, the source you have is quite a bit older. pRoFiT added a lot of nice stuff to the skin editor. He said he is sending me the latest source in email. As soon as I get it it, I will forward to you.

Since the version you are working with, he added the ability to move the buttons and labels using your mouse (Version posted above, you can not move or resize the objects with your mouse on the screen), it has an Undo Feature, as well as a "Virtual Editor" to view the skin in text format. Lastly it has a way to lock objects on the screen, so you can edit something behind something else Like a label on a button, many times you cant get to to the label to edit it, as the button is on top of it. You can lock the button, then are able to edit the label).

guino · 10-24-2007, 08:37 AM

Well, I worked with what I had in hands.. if I get his version, I'll merge my changes to it..

New version 0.5 Out -- thread and mirror site updated.

davidp · 10-26-2007, 09:20 PM

hi, i think i may have found a bug with skin editor .5, when you load a transparent skin, and then go to a different screen of it, the previous screen shows through the current one. also if you load a skin, and then open a different (transparent) skin, the first skin is still visible through the newly opened trans. skin. the previous screens stay in the background until they end up be opaque because they just pile up (dont know how to describe it well).

here is a screenshot of whats happening:

other than that, its great, i love the new ilists (although i wish they could be transparent).

thanks,
david

guino · 10-27-2007, 12:49 AM

This is happening because you didn't place a background.jpg file in the editor's folder. So RR doesn't have a background and it's keeping the previous screen as a background. Save a background.jpg file and you'll be good to go.

iLists are not transparent due to performance limitations. I may re-visit that sometime, but I saw considerable performance limitations with making a transparent iList.

ThunderStick · 10-27-2007, 01:36 AM

I have to say this skin editor rocks. I have been using profits version for a while now, but with all the recently added features to RR, I was manually coding quite a bit on my own.
Thanks again for another great addition to Road Runner...

GF-ler · 10-27-2007, 02:48 AM

first time of using your new editor i thought i had graphic faults.

when the cursor is in field of a box, the graphic inside the box shift 1 pixel up.
in profit's editor you cant see this because the selected box is white.
but some wishes i have to the editor.

a girder would be helpfull for skins like GASPRICEFINDER or WEATHER with a lot of information to bring the messages in a row.

the backgroundskin.jpg, dont fix it in your program.... take the file "SETTINGS" for it.

i use 6-8 different screens to find the best textcolour. always rename a file is no nice job.
