Theme Editor Feedback

<< < (5/8) > >>

JdGordon:
no, never mind. I was hoping you would say yes that forma to display the images is hard to understand (initially)

ew:
Congratulations on the great work.

One minor idea, how about showing the x,y position while hovering (or clicking) in the skin preview area?

bluebrother:
I've just updated the binaries of the Theme Editor I'm providing (at http://www.alice-dsl.net/dominik.riebeling/rockbox/themeeditor/) and for the first time added a NSIS based installer for Windows. This is my first attempt at an installer so please expect it to be anything but final. However, there are some things I'm not completely sure about:

- should the installer offer creating a desktop icon?
- should the installer download the fonts? Right now it does (if the option is enabled), but given that the Theme Editor itself can download the fonts too I'm not sure if it makes sense having an option to download the fonts in the installer at all.
- anything else important that's missing?
- and last: is there interest in having an installer for Windows at all? If yes please test and let me know of any issues with the installer :)

bluebrother,

A Start Menu entry would be nice, I have a habit of automatically selecting "no" for desktop shortcuts...(I hate them), and I was surprised to find I had to go digging to launch the app as it wasn't in my Start Menu.

re: Downloading the Font Pack, no, I don't believe the installer should do this personally.

EDIT:

*Gah!* Ignore the part about the Strat Menu shortcut...I somehow read it as "Desktop Shortcut" in the installer :/

I think I actually intended to do that before, and it fell by the wayside.  I'll probably throw that in sometime next week after pencils-down (that's Monday).  Right now I'm trying to get in as much as I can on the GUI editing front before Monday, and then after that I'll devote some time to the little features that I've wanted to add along the way, I think.

Edit - Actually, I just implemented that.  I've been working on some graphical editing features: at the moment, you should be able to move and resize viewports, images, album art, and progress bars (although obviously resizing an image won't have any permanent effect).  Clicking the little gear button at the left of the preview window will update the code with the changes you've made, and clicking the arrow button will undo any changes you've made.  The coordinates should show up in the middle of the skin preview panel at the bottom.  I'd love to hear feedback on any of this, right now I'm trying to decide how to work in the capability to add new viewports/images/progress bars...
