Is there a need for a skin editor? (1 Viewer)

[NoBugS]

You need Java Runtime V1.6 (see link in first posting). The program can not run without it.

I've skimmed thru all the posts, but cannot find this.... does properties.xml support images? I'm needing to see how certain plug-in graphical properties (such as #infoservice.weather.today.img.big.fullpath) should look on the screen.

Also, just thinking about it.... a useful feature would be to be able to add properties for substitution directly to properties.xml from the editor, and then enter the proxy label or, in the case of an image, open a folder to select the proxy image to display. and have the property applied automatically to the editor.

Thanks,

Chuck

No it was not supported.... but its a great idea so I just added support for it. Will work in Alpha 6.

Thought about it long time but never found time to make it... Maybe I should start working on it?!

for the feedback.

Would be nice to be able to right click in explorer and either add new screen or delete screens had a couple more, but I am happy to report it looks like they are already on the board for alpha 6.

Also would like to be able to hold down shift or ctrl to select a group of buttons or objects to move all at once. Makes it easier once alligned if you add a picture or something then need everything to move down a little.

NoBugS! Your skin editor is amazing! It's let me get stright into making my own skin. Thanks so much!

btw, any updates?

 

[NoBugS]

Yes, wanted to post it since a while. But got stuck somehow. Maybe today.....

BTW: I think there will be a huge difference between MP-I and MP-II.... So I think there will be no SkinEditor for MP-II.

I was wondering how many differences there would be between them. I take it if you write a plugin for MPI it will not be compatible with MPII. I wonder how easy it would be to convert to MPII. I still am waiting to have more information released on some of the key design features and really benefits of MPII. Anyway back to your amazing Skin Editor, LOVE IT!!! I am about a quarter of the way done with my plugin "MyRolodex" thanks to your editor the interface is nearly complete just working on adding the code for the Database.
