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.
I think, this is an excellent idea. If I may suggest something to that too ...
It would be very nice, if the config.txt - file had sections, that could be
loaded in the registry.
Example:
//city-section
1,GMXX0039,7.999,10.333,c (like in the reg,ID,Citycode,lat,lon,celsius)
2,GMXX0049,8.777,11.444,c
//image-section
c1hourchart,/Programme/TodayPlus/Buffer/c1hour.png
c1empchart,/Programme/TodayPlus/Buffer/c1temp.png
//var-section
var1,100
var2,200
var3,150
//text-section
text1,this text
text2,another text
If there are no data in a section: ignore (Do not owerwrite existing keys)
If there are data, create the registry-key and write the assumed data.
This would be much helpful, when creating things like you did with your
exe-files or provide the config.txt with a new created skin, so the vars
needed in the skin are created easily.
