Skin?
You can make original skin very easily.
You only need to make just 2 files
layout.ini (To set parameters)
main-background.bmp (Main artwork of skin)
How to make artwork of skin
You can use BMP file for skin.
I'm planning to use other formats but currently, you can use only 24bit color format of BMP.
Parameters
You can write parameters in [layout.ini] file.
Edit-Width
Width of the editbox.
Edit-Pos-X
Zero position is Top-Left side of main-background.bmp, you set X position of edit box.
Edit-Pos-Y
Zero position is Top-Left side of main-background.bmp, you set Y position of edit box.
TransparentColor
You can set one color in main-background.bmp transparent
You must set this color as HTML color, between 000000 and FFFFFF
AlphaValueOFF
When PocketLaunch doesn't have focus (other window is having) you can set permeability of PocketLaunch window
Permeability must be set by number between 0 and 255. 0 is transparent.
AlphaValueON
When PocketLaunch is having focus, you can set permeability of PocketLaunch window
Permeability must be set by number between 0 and 255. 0 is transparent.
Date
While PocketLaunch is unfocus (other window is having focus) PocketLaunch is showing time/date in editbox
You can define how to display time/date by this parameter.
y: Year
m: Month
d: Day
H: Hour (24 hours)
h: Hour (12 hours and adding AM/PM)
M: Minutes
s: Second
You can combine those keys to display time/date.
Ex:
yyyy/mm/dd H:M:s -> 2006/09/26 23:05:01
dd/m/yy h M -> 26/9/06 23PM 05
If PocketLaunch couldn't find Date parameter in [layout.ini], PocketLaunch set the default [yyyy/mm/dd H:M:s].
How to install skin and how to adjust layout?
If you have installed PocketLaunch in [C:\ProgramFiles\PocketLaunch], make [skin] folder in PocketLaunch installed folder.
When you are making skin named [pocket]
[C:\ProgramFiles\PocketLaunch\skin\pocket\layout.ini]
[C:\ProgramFiles\PocketLaunch\skin\pocket\main-background.bmp]
You have to set files as this.
After you put the files, you can call system command [!loadskin pocket] and skin will be changed.
After skin has changed, you can edit [layout.ini] by texteditor and you can call system command [!ReloadSetting]
[!ReloadSetting] reload BMP file also.
After making your skin
Please send me you skin by mail =)
