FRM\FNCTN - My AI graphics and apps

Software and Graphics and News

Monday, October 19, 2026 by c242 | Discussion: Artificial Intelligence

As AI capabilities have steadily improved, I’ve experimented extensively—running through countless trials and consuming plenty of tokens—until I finally developed workflows and manifests that allow me to bring my design ideas to life.

I can now build applications exactly as I envision them, gradually replacing many freeware and shareware tools I use daily that I’ve always wanted to customize to better suit my needs.

While I don’t want to replace all of them (for instance, ObjectDesktop), I’ve created several new tools to explore what’s possible. Though for example may FileCanvas never match the functionality of established file managers, other tools like IconChanger,SysCanvas, KeyCanvas, and FlickDock, are integral to my daily workflows across all my machines.

I invite you to try and enjoy what I’ve accomplished so far—all at no cost. My site also offers skins and themes, some of which are available here on WC.

I think you absolutely should! You've acted on or perhaps even anticipated frogboy's post regarding AI tools and customization.

I think your work with these new tools is excellent and you've become part of the leading edge of the art of skinning, which you've always shown talent at. 

I, for one, thank you for your original contributions to our community and encourage you to continue. I know others feel the same way. I also believe that making these tools freely available is quite generous.   

Holzwolle!

You'll probably be content with it when you've made a dark themed substyle.

So, did someone actually try some soft from the site? I am always keen on feedback or constructive criticism.

I've been using SysCanvas for a while now, and I really like the ability to create individual canvases which can be shown/hidden at any time. The new editor is awesome and allows me to be more creative with my canvases. The app has evolved into a fabulous tool. The only thing that could be improved is that scrollable menus in the editor don't scroll with the mouse wheel.

Flipdock...trying to figure which is best for me, maybe replace my right sided docks with the three layered one. It has interesting possibilities. We shall see.

I did FlickDock 1st really because I didn't like how other docks handle how to assign icons to shortcuts. Why so many clicks? There is no sense to have a shortcut to an icon or PNG on a dock, so why not just having it assign a PNG per drag&drop to the shortcut? An then it went on. Can I have Tabs? How about just combining the quickstart-dock with all of it? And so on.

Will look into that.

Thinking about doing a ThemeBuilder just to show the possibilities. I am quite proud of SysCanvas and I think it should spread a bit more.

I've tried downloading this three or four times, but the site is running at about 100-150 kbs/s download speeds.

Okay, I now have 0.99.19 with the Theme Builder.

Can you, in simple terms, explain the purpose of Theme Builder.
