    The question I have is about options screen and the config screen. Would everyone mind if it was sent to non transarent (Have a standard color background) I have noticed sometimes it make it hard to read text with it transparent. Take a look at what I mean: Nontransparent Click For Larger Image Transparent Click For Larger Image We could even go as far as putting a standard background. This was nomater how screwed up you make your colors it will never affect the look of the option screens Main reason for asking is that when I make the apperance options screen you will have control to change every look of WPI ever bit of text and graphics, if you mess them up and cant read them you can easy change them back in the options screens because it will be easyer to read. Thoughts?

    I figured out the ccs file loading, so I should be good to go for now. Thank You!

    That worked. That is awsome. Thank you so much. I forgot to move the var.js and add it into the wpi.hta Now I guess the hardest thing of all as you said will be the css file. Thanks again.

    Can't get it to work right. Try and edit these first few line within the wpi.htm file (Edit the glossy theme one) See if you can make the var work here. I can't seem to do so. Line 4 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./themes/Glossy/wpi.css"> Line 49 <img id='bgpic' src='./themes/Glossy/wallpaper.jpg' width="100%" height="100%"> Line 54 document.all.bgpic.src = "./Graphics/" + BgPicture; Line 61 <td colspan="2" background="./themes/Glossy/topbar.jpg" width="100%"> Line 78 <img id="titleimg" src="./themes/Glossy/title.jpg" border="0" align="center"> Hope you can get it to work. If you can get these line to work and send me the file I can probably get the rest.

    "var.js" This: var a = 'clicky.gif'; Would need to be something like var a = '/Themes/Glossy/'; load.htm This: <html> <head> <script language="javascript" src="var.js"></script> </head> <body> <script language="javascript">document.write("<img src="+a+">");</script> </body> </html> Would need to be something like <html> <head> <script language="javascript" src="var.js"></script> </head> <body> <script language="javascript">document.write("<img src="+a+ clicky.gif">");</script> </body> </html> Does this help you under stand? But you in the right direction.

    Attn: Kel & mritter If you guys want I can work on makeing the apperance wizard again. I can't do much untill after the first of July as I am in the prosses of moveing from Nevada to CA. But if I have spare time I will work on it. untill I loose my computer to packing. I would love to finish what I started. Attn: Everyone If someone knows how to make a path to a location within the wpi.htm file (There it points to each and every file within that directory) into a var I would be ever so greatfull. This was one of the major setbacks in making the wizard the way I wanted. example: from: <img id='bgpic' src='./themes/Glossy/wallpaper.jpg' width="100%" height="100%"> to <img id='bgpic' src='ct/wallpaper' width="100%" height="100%"> where "ct" = a var to the current selected theme path So pretty much ever line of code in the wpi.htm file that need the path to the current folder can be changed to a var. Take a look at the wpi.htm file under the "/themes/glossy" folder and every line that has './themes/Glossy/some_file_name" I need to change the "./themes/Glossy/" to a var that can be loaded from a file. Hope that makes sence. Let me know what you find out. Any help is needed. This problem is my bigest challenge to overcome. and with it solved I will be more interested and willing to finish the apperance wizard. I have posted screen shots from what I had done before under "WPI 5.1 Wish List" look at what I have got done so far. It is worth the effort to find out how. One you know something or are willing to work on a solution let me know there. Thank you for you help

    Got a question about the WPI Config Lister. Never tryed to use it before, not sure what it was so I thought I would give it a try. It says "Possibly corrupted config.js Cannot Continue." Tryed with someone elses config.js file and it created a "config.txt" but it was blank. What is this program? Does it work?

    Here is a small list of changes that could be made. 1) Options tabs = changed to Color tabs, similar to the ones used by windows. And make selected tab darker to show it is the current tab. (With graphics) - DONE - almulder 2) Timer = When the timer is stopped hide timer and replace it with words “Timer Manually Stopped” 3) Timer Progress Bar = don’t have the image shrink, instead have it move similar to the progress bar like the one used for the installer, just backwards 4) WPI.HTM = Var the theme path within the wpi.htm somehow make the path to the theme dir a variable that’s loaded upon startup. For the file direction pointing within the wpi.htm theme file. This would make only one wip.htm file instead of several, or have several layouts options that could work with all themes. - DONE - almulder 5) Installer = if any install was unsuccessful error box with details pop up, and must click to continue. Not auto close 6) Installer = make install list scrollable. 7) Installer = show how mush disk space used for that install. 8) Installer = show how mush disk space is left - DONE - mritter 9) Installer = make a log file of what was done. 10) Installer = Show the category in bold in the list, separated by a blank space at the end of each category installing (only when installing by category) 11) WPI = Show Estimated Disk Space Required within WPI before installing. Updating it with each program selected. 12) WPI = Show Total disk space available on hard drive.. 13) WPI = Finish the appearance wizard, and add options to accommodate the new features in WPI 5.0 14) Options = Make options background non transparent. Makes it hard to read at times with the see through look to the back ground. Don’t need to see the background on options screen, and same thing with config screen. (With Graphics) - DONE - almulder 15) Rename config tab to Install List. 16) Fix the Previous and Next buttons on programs list. Make them the same location every time. Not jump around like the do now. Also make an option of text or button for them 17) Check boxes = forced installs always check even with “Selection None” selected. 18) Forced installs = should only install if install is clicked, not when exit is clicked. 19) Exit = should be changed to Cancel Install and not do start to do forced installs 20) Install order = Checks for duplicate install number, automaticaly enter next install number when new program is entered. edited: 21) Theme Selection = Have a preview of each theme show in a box on the side. - DONE - mritter & almulder

    Forced Installs not working. Edit: Sorry. Thought I clicked forced installs upon exit but I guess it helps if I hit save. Sorry, Sorry, Sorry. But thanks for the quick reply!

    I would like someone to be able to finish what I started so long ago. I started work on a Section to make it very easy to customize the look of WPI but below are screen shots of them Here are a few teaser screen shots of the apperance wizard that was under developemnt. I had most of it working on my side but no real testing done. And now with the code being completely redone I am not sure where to begin again. NO THIS IS NOT SCREEN SHOTS FROM WPI 5.0 IT WAS A THEME I WAS WORKING ON SORRY Teaser Pic #1 Click For Larger Image Teaser Pic #2 Click For Larger Image Teaser Pic #3 Click For Larger Image Teaser Pic #4 Click For Larger Image Teaser Pic #5 Click For Larger Image NO THIS IS NOT SCREEN SHOTS FROM WPI 5.0 IT WAS A THEME I WAS WORKING ON SORRY Sorry this was never finish for a public release but I had a few thing happen in my life and just had to drop the ball on it. Sorry to all of people that were waiting on this addition but maybe with someones help (Talking to you mritter) this can become a reality. Let me know if you want my old files from what I was working on mritter just personal message me and tell me where to send it.

    New audio player sounds great. The one I original made in one of the old versions seen to give many people problems, but if you could make a new one that would be cool. I have seen my installs take anywere from 10 min to 60 min depending on the items I install. (That is on a AMD 64) Programs install fast, but I some times install all of them. If you figure average songs (Music CD's) are about 3-4 min long that should help you determin you number. I would say min 1-3 songs, max 20 songs.

    Looking Good. Been gone for some time here. Man new features look great. Congrats to all who have been working on the new release. Can't wait to play with it. O' darn this means I will need to make a new install DVD with the new WPI. (LOL) Can't wait to have fun with this one. Also the Last screen shot you posted, the one with the audio player controls look great also. Well see you on June 1st. Catch ya later.

    I would just leave it the way it is. no need to just remove a few options for basic users, they can just leave them at the default. Only enter what they need.
  17. almulder
    Been a little slow here due to a rather large bug I found. Working on that and then changing the way it looks hope fully add more options and make it look better. I won't have much time to work on it this week, but hope I can this weekend. Thank you for your support!
  18. almulder
    Yes please and let me know if there is a problem still. If so I will address it.
  19. almulder
    Agree! and as said before if you need more than 6 comand lines make a batch file for them! (What is the reason fo not makeing one?) or make a auto script file. (What is the reason fo not makeing one?) Telling us why you don't want to make a bat file might help in solving your problem. Do you know how to make a bat file?

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am just awaiting the files from athomsen to start merging the apperance wizard into his files. My net still down. hope to be up by the end of the week. I am still working and tweaking the wizard and might add a few more options. and the way it is displayed. Well thank you all for being so understanding on the delay. Talk to you all later.
  21. almulder
    You best bet for the programs that don't wait is to make autoscripts for them.
  22. almulder
    Ok, but that has nothing to do with me! I dont control the web site. I am only making this wizard. Please make new post for other related items
  23. almulder
    WHAT? They work for me. Anyone else with this problem?
  24. almulder
    Well it is a little later than I wanted but here are some more new screen shots.Appearance Wizard Sections: ToolTip Wizard Section: Wizard in action: Please note: This is not the final look of the wizard things will change, and any thought are welcome.
  25. almulder
