Friday, December 19, 2003 by XX | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Someone makes a new skinnable program, and you have to do it all over again and skin the new program.

Yep. Something has happened that havent happened since about 1999.

A new XX series program. It's fun.

All I can say is that it's definely unusual skinnable program.

Right now, some stuff needs to be ironed out, some features added, etc then I will unveil it by posing about it at news.

I just posted to news about new XX program.

New XX Program unveiled!

It has been a while since I made a new XX series program, but here it is.

This is a new skinable screensaver called XXSvgSaver. Basically, it reads play list ini file and plays Svg files like a movie. The configurion window will be skinable in later betas, so everything will be skinable.

Requirements for using XXSvgSaver:
Abode’s Svg Viewer http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
.Net framework. http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/howtoget/default.aspx

Place to download XXSvgSaver: http://wave.prohosting.com/xxcoder/xx.htm

To install it as screensaver, first install those 2 requirements, then download and unzip XXSvgSaver, then right click and click ‘install’ and enjoy the show.

Nifty, huh? What do you guys think of this?

XX, The script you have is not for visual basic .NET.
Do you have any idea what it should be for the .NET version.

thanks

Yeah. I haven't made a new drag code for vb.net so I gave you vb5 code.

Sorry I wasn't clear before.

I had hit on a major snag. Label control cannot have a true transparent background that shows controls below it. Any image control set to transparent color same as form's transparent areas will show desktop not the form bottom, Either I have to go to square buttons only or give up on making control window skinnable.

Anyone know how to fix any of those?
