Skin editor for the new GUI

Printer Friendly Version

04 Jun 2010 01:12

Consider this to be an official promise from me.

Sometime around mid-July I will start working on an application for the new CycloDS GUI, designed to replicate what ste123's amazing app:cyclods-evolution-skin-tester-1-7 does for skin developers. It'll allow you to take a screenshot of how the new GUI will appear on the CycloDS.

Please post your ideas for the new CycloDS application here.

My original goal is quite modest, then I'll expand on that over time:

  1. Read a skin.xml file
  2. Add the images to a window in the proper layout
  3. Allow the user to use their own screen capture program to capture it Automatically generate preview!

Future improvements:

  1. Check validity of the skin.xml file
  2. Check validity of the size of each image
  3. The application should be able to generate the screenshot automatically Already possible in current version

Do I have competition? ;-) I haven't been as active on the TC forums as I'd like (relaxed a bit once new moderators were added) so if someone else has already created a screenshot generator for the new GUI (or ste has updated his) I don't know about it yet.

I don't think there is a new skin preview program yet, so go for it!

I started working on this last night and had a lot of success. So far I've done the main menu (icons and text as well) and just need to do the other screens now, and then add a GUI (all it does at the moment is to generate the preview image in the same folder, it doesn't show you anything on-screen).

I'll post an example soon.

Okay, here's a preview of what I've done so far. There's no GUI yet and the image filenames are entered manually into the source code… so that still needs to be done. The game & cheat lists need to be finished as well.

The top screen, main menu, settings screen, and the text reader preview screen are all finished though! :)
