Here are a few things that could make it even better:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ability to add other xml files to screen (imported controls)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Change basic properties of imported controls: for example the "videowindow" in Blue3 basichome.xml can't be selected/moved/resized with the current version.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Undo/Redo/Save button <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Transparency: Ability to set the transparency with a slider.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Quick-Format: A few user-predefined combinations of colors/fonts that can be applied to controls (Like the "<a href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4406003/formatpainterbrush-main_Full.jpg" target="_blank">Format-Painter</a>" in M$-Word)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Recently opened skins: Show the user the last x skins he edited.</li> </ul>And a few more ideas (probably more difficult to implement):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">xml editor: Like in vs or most of the java gui builders it would be nice to switch between design and xml mode (or maybe even a split screen). I'm sure there are a bunch of open source java xml editors available that you could include in your program.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Condition Builder: Visual condition builder for fields like "Visible".</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Live Preview: a live preview of the changes so the user can see how the effects (hover, etc.) will look.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Color Themes: Allow the skin designer to define his own colors (COLOR_TEXT_SELECTED,...) so he can design skins with different color themes. (e.g. SkinXY blueish/SkinXY dark)</li> </ul>Anyways that's all I can think of for now, thx for taking on this huge task! I'm sure this will help making mp even better. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
