My skinnable prog

Thanx.:) i guess i need to open a website then. hmm a new challenge. <br />About the program: it shows all the fonts in your system in real mode. The background is skinnable. The stopbutton, the fontwindow and logowindow are skinnable aswell and... their sizeable. the INI file should explain a lot more. :) oh.. and its freeware.As soon the &acute;website&acute; is ready i&acute;ll put it there.

You could upload it temperarely in the &quot;Base Bin&quot; section :-)

About the program: it shows all the fonts in your system in real mode. <br />What does that mean? &quot;in real mode&quot; <br />And do you mean it finds ALL my fonts, not just the fonts in the &quot;Windows fonts&quot; folder?

No PK, the Base Bin is for graphics that you are allowing others to use, not programs.

I got some spare server space that I can offer you AaronL, untill you get a permanent solution. Let me know if you want it :)

If it&acute;s free you could let the folks at skinnables know about it. http://www.skinnables.org/ <br /> <br />They would probably make it available from their site until you got your site going. Possibly... :) <br /> <br />I get all my favourite old cool stuff from there ;)

hehe, thanks Koasatie ;-) And go to skinnables AaronL, its a great site with great people

Hey...I&acute;m currently working on a website as well...lemme know if ya need some space...

Well, according to the staff listing page, http://www.skinbase.org/staff.php <br /> <br />&quot;Contact Elwin if you have a new skinnable application that you want to promote through the Skinbase website..&quot; <br /> <br />But be careful of him - he&acute;s a terrible slacker... {:p <br /> <br />Seriously, though, we don&acute;t host the applications - that&acute;s the author&acute;s responsibility. <br />But if you&acute;d like to give me some more info, then feel free to contact me here : <br />elwin@skinbase.org <br /> <br />I&acute;d like to see the program of course, but that&acute;s just cause I&acute;m a skin app junkie. <br />:D <br />But I can also give you all the info you need, and if I like the app, I can even help you with a press release and tips for promoting it. <br />On the other hand, if I hate it, or it&acute;s high priced hunk of junk, I&acute;ll ignore you, and whisper naughty words behind your back... <br /> <br />:p JOKE! :p <br />Get hold of me and I&acute;ll help all I can. <br />{:p

Only one suggestion: loose the music on the frontpage! If there&acute;s something that keeps me from visiting websites it&acute;s sites with sounds/music! Otherwise, great! :) <br /> <br />And AaronL if you type that much why not join Team Skinbase @ project Dolphin?! ;) <br />(http://project-dolphin.net) :) :)

dang... still sleepy here. i ment to tell LEFTCLICK. wow bedtime here i suppose :)

Your wish make my brain and keyboard rattle and roll. lol <br />Oke i will build that in the next version. <br />btw: i changed the appearance of the website, any suggestions and or templates are welcome at AaronL@home.nl

Dang you&acute;re a busy-bee Aaron ;) <br />Shadow/moving is working fine here (WinXP), but it might be an idea, for it to be &quot;switchable&quot; for those that do not use the XP-shadow.

update... again. lol <br />This time no need to double leftclick, but is pressing left enough to do the moving job. <br />New is also the XP shadow on the program. No XP? no problem! FrontDraw will work as usual without the shadow. :) <br />ps. if you don&acute;t want shadow on XP then give me a call, i will add a choice for that. <br />

I like the idea, normally i use the MS Word 2000 (or 2002) fontselector to search for a font, but a program like this is much easyer

Koasati> i will work on that :)

Kewl...........I&acute;m off to snag the new version....... <br />At some point you to get the proggy to open any font folder, I&acute;m enjoying skinning it, but I have no need for it as it is. If I could use it to open my special fonts folder, then it becomes useful. :)

o_O..... bedtime?! What&acute;s that?! <br />Anyways, just keep the updates coming! :)

Tweaking tips...... <br />If you&acute;re running WindowBlinds, FD will load faster if it&acute;s excluded in the per app settings. If you want a cool scrollbar, set it up with a WB skin that has a scrollbar you like, and exclude all the other options. :D <br /> <br />AaronL.. anxiously awaiting transparency support, and the ability to move the window.... ;)

I&acute;ll wait for the version with switchable shadows. They only slow my poor old machine down. ;) <br />Another option I&acute;d like to see is the instead of selecting colors by name, use the HTML color or RGB code.

What Snow said in regards to music on a website :)

I think the music is a nice touch myself, it&acute;s only on one page :-)

I&acute;m in complete agreement with Snow, and Scare about music on a website. It&acute;s one of the quickest ways to get me to leave and never return. If I want music, I&acute;ll pop in a CD. ;)

New skinnable program named &acute;SkinAbout&acute;. <br />It show some info of you HDD and System. <br />Fully skinnable and availabe now at http://members.home.nl/aaronl <br />Enjoy skinning :) <br /> <br />

I cant get it to work properly AaronL, even if I change the ini files, or copy the program to other directory&acute;s :-(

PK> i will have a look at it.

PK> please try the following: <br /> <br />1: create a directory at choise. <br />2: create a subdir in that directory. <br />3: put all files (except the EXE and the fontpath file) in the subdir <br />4: change the line in fontpath into c:\yourdirectory\yoursubdir\ (don&acute;t forget the backslash) <br /> <br />Thats all. i tried it and it worked. <br />Good luck :)

Ok dat werkt goed, Bedankt

Graag gedaan. :)

NEW: the program is now movable. Ttransparency is also possible now. <br />you can add that in the fontconfig.in. Warning.... you need to change existing fontconfig.ini with 2 extra lines. <br />transparency=yes <br />transcolor=white ( or one of the other colors) <br /> <br />you can download it at http://members.home.nl/aaronl <br /> <br />enjoy. :)

again, if it&acute;s not big I can offer space also. You see plenty of help at Skinbase :)

sounds like a pretty cool app.

I promise I will make a Orange skin for it :)

Does sound cool. You may want to include that when asking other sites. ^.~ Hope you do well with it. What was it codedin, btw?

Thank you all for the nice offers :) but i&acute;m already working on my own website. Just a easy looking one, but suitable. <br /> <br />Koasty> real mode is that it shows your fonts how they look like. Shows only the &acute;windows font folder&acute;, but i&acute;m working on that. <br /> <br />CutTheRedWire> if you mean by &acute;codedin&acute; in which language then its Delphi. <br />

When you make your website, make yourself a user icon for Skinbase. You look naked in the board here ;) <br /> <br />And let us know when something is available for download! :)

let us see that application :) We can make deal for host that application if you dont have web space yet.

Snowman> if the offer still goes then please give me you&acute;r URL so i can upload the program. Creating my own website will take me more time then i suspected. :)

At least you have an icon now :)

Fontdraw is now available: http://www.skinbase.org/news.php?topicid=673

Downloaded it!

Way to go bugz :)

i just uploaded my robotic for FontDraw. your turn now :)

The website is ready and you can find the program here aswell. Snowman> thank you for letting me use your space for awhile. <br />This is also the main idea of my site. People who does&acute;nt have space can put their programs here. The URL = HTTP://MEMBERS.HOME.NL/AARONL <br /> <br />the programs can be emailed to aaronl@home.nl and needs to contain the ZIPfile. I&acute;ll do the rest. :))

A few suggestions/comments......... :) <br />Transparency support is needed. <br />I can&acute;t move the window, it&acute;s stuck in the middle of the screen. <br />Didn&acute;t you say it was resizeable? Did I read that wrong? Or did you mean I can make the skin any size I wish? <br /> <br />

Koasati> i will add the transparity. Yep its stuck in the middle, but i will try to change that. You can make the skin any size you want, but you need to write that down in the config file. :) <br />the link i provided earlier was wrong. This is the right one. ( i forgot my provider won&acute;t allow caplocks.) the url = http://members.home.nl/aaronl

There are some cool looking skins already :) I&acute;ll enjoy watching this app grow :)

Ps.... Ps... Je need to slow rightclick twice and hold to move the program. <br />still working on that. <br />thnxz.

Still working on this I hope. :D

I&acute;m still working on what PK and AaronL said to each other ;)
