Can you tell what was wrong on this screenshot?

Can not tell, look the title of this program, just right to the start at the top.

This is my on-going project, a new configure.exe.  With my limited knowledge, I was able to get some functions work out, such as search city and select base path, select skin file.  These information all were put into regsitry key.

If I can pull this out, next time is trying to get dll work out.  But it will be 10x even 100x harder than what I am doing right now.  But for fun.. :wink:

Very nice!  I see some VERY interesting possibilities where this could go.  But then again, I'm sure you do too and that's why you are working on it.  Sweet Butter!!!   :lol:

UK,

Here is another idea for your "big project" quest !!  :idea:

Is it possible, to add an exe, triggered by a button in the skin, to close the current skin, open a "dialog box" containing skins currently installed in the skins folder, and with another tap, you can load a new skin ????

A simple imagebutton can be added to each skin that you want to switch to, that would launch this exe !!!
Maybe I'm just reaching here, but anything seems possible with TP, the Registry, and your EXE's !!


What do ya think ??  This would be a Great addition !!!  :wink:

I think that is already in my skin.  Cause I change things too often.  :wink:

Well, I have not completely get all the functions in configure.  And remember, this is not main program.  I am thinking this is my learning process and it will take a long time.  I don't even know how far I can go. :lol:

What ever you are doing, I bet It will be very helpful. Thanks in advanced anticipation.

If you need function ideas for a new configure exe... I have read in the forum that T+ used to use a text file to configure.  This would be nice to make happen again.  That way you could back up your T+ settings very easily. Maybe your configure.exe could save settings to the registry like the current config does but also have the ability to save and load settings to a txt file. That would be an easy way to help someone who is having setup problems as well.

 Thanks for your confidence.  Your suggestion will be added.  

 I know PHM (free) can export/import the registry keys, you can try it.

Yes, thanks, I have been using it. You are always so helpful with everyones' comments and suggestions. Of course, everyon in this forum is so helpful.

I thought that if the config had a way of editing and saving txt files then you could type complicated rss feeds and weather stuff (and PHP if you ever get that into T+) with a text editor on your desktop with a keyboard.  The PPC is great for viewing data, but I prefer to use my desktop for input.
