Skin Upgrade Tool

Greenfrog · 2007-01-21, 05:23

Hi All

I don’t think I have an isolated issue. I have been using MP for about 6 months with great success. (Even have a few mates using it.)

I have just upgraded to 0.2.2.0 (love the improvements

). However, I use a modified skin, manly larger font size of positioning due to CRT 4:3 TV and viewing distance. With each update I have to redo my modifications. This can be annoying as I never remember where these settings are or what I did last time.

Is there are tool that would be able to streamline this process or if not, I am thinking of developing the tool myself. If I was to develop something myself, would anyone else be interested in this tool (if it was just for me I would not ‘polish’ the project).

Thanks

I would like a tool which allowed me to create skins, I am not a programer and don't really understand that stuff. I would like to play with skins but at present I'm put off by the time it would take to find out what I need to do. Other interests are getting in the way right now.

I will happily beta test any tool that is developed

it's a great idea and I think it would dramatically increase the number of skins for MP.

MP definitely needs a current skin editor program. I know I would definitely use it. I can do graphic edits pretty well but the xml stuff is just too much for me to get into. I would love it if a program could edit it.

I guys I was not really going do a skin editor from scratch just an updater that would chance minor settings like Font size, font type position etc after upgrades.

I have found the current skin editor to be fine for my basic needs. I have found sometimes I reading XML is easier but thats just me.

I will give it a go this evening.

Can anyone provide me with a copy of an original skin and a modified version for testing?
