I like that idea. I was thinking of that too. I have an idea of how I can approach this, but it may be a little while as I have to make sure it works correctly. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry Mac/Linux users. If I knew C++ better, I would make a version for both Mac OS and Linux. If your really wanted to, you might be able to get the program running in WINE, or another Windows emulator.



Even if your idea seems whack, stick with it and make it happen.

Thanks man. I may make a C++ version later if there's enough demand for it. Been really busy lately though.

Does it say which component is missing? I am currently working on a new version of the program that will work on any machine with the .NET 2.0 Framework. I'm going out of town this weekend, but I will work on it when I get back.

Sorry for the delay, but school was my priority for last 2 months. I had to finish the year strong. I'm off for the summer now and here is the first release of the program using the .NET Framework 2.0. Let me know if you see any bugs. I still have to add a few things like a theme generator and quick theme editor, but at least you can edit files side by side now. I will continue to work on this program and perfect any bugs, problems etc.

By the way, the theme wizard is in debug mode right now and doesn't do anything yet. I will work on that next.

I tried this on Vista, and when I get to the end of the theme wizard, it won't finish.  It just sits there.

Ok, I've fixed the theme generator. After you have generated your theme, it will open the files for you. All you have to do is save the file to the directory you prefer when you are finished tweaking them. The theme files are based on the X Theme included with Eblah. If you have any ideas you'd like to have included in the wizard, let me know. It's pretty easy to add new fields.

Note: Theme files in the program directory will be deleted at the startup of the program. Be sure to put your work in a different folder so you don't lose it.

Hey, I'm looking for some feedback so if anyone has some, I would appreciate it. I hope that this program can become widely accepted as a tool for making themes for Eblah. I just need to know what the public wants so that I can try and create that.

It works very well.  Great job.  Here is an example of a theme I created in about 30 seconds using this great tool!
http://www.themes.blahdocs.com/theme-peach/m-4/

I think there is a problem with the site name because it says name = 'peach'  

Also, the fonts look messed up.  When I get time I will look at the .css and see what the deal is.

This is a very nice tool, and I think everyone should chime in and let pcmantinker know what he can do to improve on it.

-Craig.

thanks

I'm glad you guys like it. I fixed the title problem. When the program generated the HTML, it accidentally put the first line of the theme.dat into the top. That was my fault. I should have checked that before uploading. lol I will try and look into the bug on why the fonts aren't working correctly.
