Okay, it's one month later and I finally put aside two hours for creating my own ribbon skin and modifying the demo to display it. It was a snap. I just copied one of the folders in the Source\Styles directory, then modified one of the PNGs and the INI file. Worked nicely. I am not a graphical artist and I only put literally about 30sec in modifying one PNG, so there is no image worthy of posting here. But it works. And it was easy. One day I would like to pay a professional skinning artist to do some work and then have their skins available for all Codejock users to download. That is still a couple years off. CXTP performance is second to none!]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:09:54 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=45243&title=skinning-ribbons#45243 <![CDATA[Skinning Ribbons : I am not coming down on Oleg....]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44958&title=skinning-ribbons#44958 Author: MikeVance

I am not coming down on Oleg. Potential CJ customers read these threads and this is an important issue. I do not want people getting the false impression that custom ribbon themes are impossible.]]> Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:00:25 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44958&title=skinning-ribbons#44958 <![CDATA[Skinning Ribbons : MikeVance wrote:The initial...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44928&title=skinning-ribbons#44928 Author: ABuenger

Dude, obviously is English not Olegs first language, so no need to overreact here.

The initial response seemed to be in the negative, hence my counter-negativity. I spent a few minutes creating the ribbon theme DLL. Next week I will try to put a few more minutes getting the ribbon sample to show my "custom" (garbage-looking quickie) theme. Kind of pushed for time here. It's a piece of cake, which makes it all the more mysterious that nobody has ever posted their own custom ribbon theme).]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:17:44 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44917&title=skinning-ribbons#44917 <![CDATA[Skinning Ribbons : MikeVance wrote: oleg wrote:Ribbon...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44910&title=skinning-ribbons#44910 Author: ABuenger

This does not appear to be an accurate reply. When I analyze the Styles subdirectory of the Source code, it plainly shows four subdirectories, each containing one of the four included styles. Each of those subdirectories then include the PNG graphics and the requisite INI file containing the metrics info. LOGIC DEMANDS THAT ANYONE COULD CREATE THEIR OWN STYLE USING THE SAME METHOD. WHAT WOULD POSSIBLY PROHIBIT THIS? Perhaps nobody has done this yet due to inconvenience, but why insist it is impossible. Tell you what, I will go change some PNG in a quick manner and see if I can go create my own quick-and-cruddy looking style just to make my point. I can't believe it was stated that that this was impossible to do? Are you trying to chase away potential customers, is that it? Don't you realize that if product X is unable to have custom themse but product Y touts its ability to do so, then everybody must now leave to product Y? This answer irked me. I will try to append another response to this thread in about two weeks; be patient.

That's sad to hear. I just had a conference and showed off the possibilities with skinning dialogs and non ribboned executables and everyone was really excited about making our own skins.]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:55:05 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44389&title=skinning-ribbons#44389 <![CDATA[Skinning Ribbons : Hi, Ribbon can have only 4 standard...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13134&PID=44385&title=skinning-ribbons#44385 Author: Oleg
