Okay I finished virsion 1.0.
Its not as easy as going and picking the colors but it comes with a hex color finder. It will go and compile it and save it for you. As far as the images you have to edit on your own. Hope you enjoy it :)

Its pretty small and requires no installation :)

holy crap zimdale
that didn't take you long:P
nice work:D

Well it was a pretty simple program. May upgrade it a bit later if I feel like it. Thanks for the compliment though :)

Umm one thing ide like to know by a programmer or someone that just knows it. Will the limewire font support any font on your computer or is there only cirtan ones that work? If theres only cirtan ones which ones work?

Félicitations Zimdale! I think you should put an interrogation mark next to the "primary color, secondary color, window color lines" when clicked the interrogation mark either show you the part of the GUI affected or simply a text descritpion in a tooltip.

Good work!

See erm here's the problem with that. Mabey in future virsion but I dont exactle "understand" all of what the skins do havnt had the time to experiment. I kinda wrote that entire program directly off of the General Theme. Also I will put some of your guyses skins in there if ya want as a demonstration if ya email them to me at Zimdale@gmail.com. Umm already planning to make it where you can make a whole theme like demo pictures just need to get a few friends to help with editing the picks for the presets. Doubt that I can zip it up and make it a tlwp thing though Cannot find out how to do that anywhere. :(

Umm if I do figure it out im pretty good with discriptions. Just released a huge tutorial program and people seemed to like it. I guess I could make a tutorial thing in there would jsut gotta learn it. Not hard just takes time :)

Umm just for some more background my original plan was to make it where it would have an option where you could bring a pic of limewire was and when you mouse over the textbox of the color it would show you what that is referring to would just take a lotta pics and would boost the file size up quite a bit. I may add that, its just that kinda stuff takes time :(

Sorry for not hostin it through limewire and stuff but its to big for this forum to host :(

PDG1 April 26th, 2005 07:33 PM

:( it sure don't work for me....

I tried checking out that burning-red.net thing... and i can't seem to get into that hosting forum... i think it might be because i need to be registered or something... but would that explain why I can't Download it straight from the link?
and if that were the case... why would it be dedicated to hosting crap on it to link to?

haha... N/m
just tried it again, she works:P not sure why it wasn't working before

Zimdale April 27th, 2005 01:34 PM

Umm it has all the other stuff because I hosted it on my hosting forum. Its a bit easyer then having to go and acutally upload it to the server. Umm a little update. I am currently working on a Mac virsion of this. Wont come out as fast is this did though. Im not very experienced in mac programming :(

Sidian April 28th, 2005 01:55 AM

Um.....yeah thats great and all but as of right now it takes me to cnet.com or better known as download.com and a letter from the ceo....anyhow

an idea!
first off if you are doing the code in java then you wont really have to boost the file size....lol just make it dynamic, either have a self updating image or maybe just have it render the image when it is completed, also to get the windows xp theme going with selectable colors you are going to have to define a transparency change or a blend option to put two colors in one bar either vertically or horizontally basically more or less try and crack the windows version and go off of that, you know right click, properties, appearance tab, if you can find a program that already has that setup and crack its code or find the microsoft version and crack that code then its more or less copy and past, redefine and repackage.

hope to see a "final" ver. soon, have a fun time with this project!

Uhh yeah my main hosting is down I guess agian. Ill host it on my other hosting tonight and put the link up. No im not doin it in Java Im doin it in Visual Basic. For mac im doin it in RealBasic Which personally I dont think even compares to VB. Had to take out a lot of stuff because RB didnt support it. The theme and stuff for the mac follows the Mac OS X theme. Uhh not sure if I can get the Windows XP theme goin. Would have to do a lot of extra work in vb for it to work. Really should do it in Java but rite now im very unexperienced in Java so it wouldnt be anything compared to what it is now. Only way I can think of making it dynamic updating would be put a winsock client to a server to download it which automatically overwrites the original file. Will have another virsion out of it soon. That one was kinda a quicky that I did just to update it. Speaking of that if anyone knows RealBasic good if ya could email me at Zimdale@gmail.com because im really havin some troubles with creatin that hex table in it.
