How Stupid Am I?

Please... Don't answer that!

December 5, 2008 11:36:44 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I have made 10 RightClick skins to date, and I have just now realized that there is a such thing as the "RightClick Skin Editor!"

I've been doing it the hard way! To adjust the settings of my skins, I've been editing the code through notepad, then saving it as the "menu.menuskin" file. I can't believe I've been hard coding it when there is an automated setup!

I'll have to utilize this skinning tool for my next RC skin!

Hey now, no cutting in line, I was stupid here before you, have some respect for the rest of us. 

 

Hmmm, maybe we could establish a Homer Simpson award, a case of Duff's beer and a dozen donuts. DOH!

Who you callin' a wimp?

I actually am finding the RC skin editor hard, because I'm used to hard coding it.  I just think that, once I figure it all out, the editor will be much easier!

I'm used to the hard coding from all the docks I've done.

I wouldn't go that far!  Do away with the bitmaps, and give us .png ability....now that would be easy.

Once upon a time there was a skin 'editor' proggy called 'Builderblinds'....but all the same, many people simply relied on their usual graphics proggy and Notepad.

It's all about what you're used to.

It ain't just all about the journey....it's also about the results....

And some other things too!

 

I use the skin tool and then tweak the code in notepad!
