ThemeGenCE version 2.0.0.0



Vista Compatible « Works with Vista » :

• Adaptation of the size of the windows, because the Client Width in Vista is a little smaller than with XP for the same width of window.

• Adaptation for synchronization with Windows Mobile Device Center. The notifications are not always adapted in very rare cases, but all seems to work.

• Some Forms use specificities of Vista (Options page and page About)

• While becoming compatible with Vista, ThemeGenCE remains compatible with the preceding operating systems.

Corrections :

• Correction of inherent problems in Delphi 7 for the modal windows (in the older versions of ThemeGenCE some modal forms could be hidden by the main form, which prevented the continuation of the program and required to kill the ThemeGenCE process).

• Corrections of minor bugs.

Preview Skins and « Cosmetic » :

• Addition of a new Preview skin : Hermes.

• « Cosmetic» : improvement of buttons images and icons.

PDA Information if connected by ActiveSync or Mobile Windows Mobile Device Center :
To « give me pleasure » and maybe to give pleasure to the curious one, I added some explorer functions for files and the databases on the PDA. Three new buttons on the 2nd tab in the PDA information page :

• Images :

- Enumerates bmp, jpg, png, gif, tif, 2bp images which are on the PDA.
- Allows preview by selecting the image :
- thumbnail.
- Real preview while clicking on thumbnail.
- Allows to import the image selected of the PDA towards the PC (Import button, Save Folder Name saved in the ini file).

• Extension :

- Enumerates files of the PDA having a selected extension (with * - Star - one obtains all the files).
- Allows to open a selected file :
- By the usual application on the PC for this extension.
- By the application chosen by the user: "Open with...".
- With Notepad.
- Allows file importation on the PC if access is not denied.

• DataBases :

-Enumerates volumes and Databases on PDA (only informative).

I've just had a quick play with this program (but not on Vista, only on XP) & I must admit that I'm really impressed.

The only suggestion that I have for an improvement would be a reason why I can't yet save my theme (e.g. "You have not yet saved a StartImage").

All images needed for the theme format chosen must have been defined before saving.
Creation button is ungrayed only when all images needed are present.
See the animated tutorial in french or in english (Links in my previous post)

I did read this in the tutorial, but for a first time user I didn't know what images I was missing - as far as I was aware I had chosen all the necessary images & applied my options/choices etc. I didn't realise that I hadn't yet saved the Start Images (I thought I had) - a more specific message would have helped. Or even something in your tutorial to draw the user's attention to the four images boxes (e.g. "Creation button is ungrayed only when all images needed are present - check the images boxes to ensure that all are present").

Just a small point, like I said, as every thing else is straightforward & self-explanatory, & still very much worth a "two thumbs up!":approve: :approve:


(Sorry if I appear to be picky, but I used to be a software designer, & still sometimes think that I am )

I think you have all informations in the 2nd tab of main page (Choose images and/or modify) and always available.
