Good work Mate so far so good. Seems to have everything I can think of to as as well. At least all the parts that have a solution thus far on the forum.

:thumbsup:

EDIT:

Lost Soul, I'm trying to get rid of the smallbart.gif and when I do it seems to leave the lil redx at the top left of the screen.

I accounted for all the images on the left (buttons) just cant seen to figure out what this lack of image is coming from.

here is the line that i am getting rid of in the wpi.htm in the themes folder.

<tr><td colspan="2" background="./themes/Default/smallbart.gif" height="3px"></td></tr>

am I doing it right or am I missing something.

Also would like to know where would I go to change the timer so that it is left aligned. (aligned with the buttons over it)

^ the phrase Installer will start in

time

Click here to stop timer

i want these left aligned under the buttons (dont matter if they are located in the same area in the column just aligned to the left.

nice work Lost Soul

Okay we need a credits section for credits and gpl license.

Maybe an advanced options section also. (for thins like if you change the cd identifer (win51) in wpi.cmd you must change it in generate.js.

And how to make a new lang entry.

Some other stuff but I just woke up.

THIS LOOKS AWESOME THOUGH and I can't wait to add it to WPI.

thanks guys,

@kelsenellenelvian ill work on it tonight and add some more sections, is there any other sections you think we will need ?

i think i should also add a section for instal methods,, like the few ways to instal wpi off cd,, like astalavistas method of his made exe file, and probably the way we instal it off cd

@lionhrt

im not really sure how to move the clock ive never tried, but if some one dosnt answer it for you, ill take a look at it and get back to you.

...

thanks for the feed back guys keep it coming,, lets fill this reference guide up with anything we can deem useful

Yes on the section for install methods I was thinkin we need one too.

Just wanted to point out that as in blinktd's themes he has made a few adjustments himself;

Sor instance with the links that open independent pages in the top left and top right of his them page may be used for similiar things as well, for instance a wpi manual. Also he has a few cosmetics as in changing the "Installer will start to Countdown. also he has added an image to stop the timer maybe he can give you the ins on how he did that.

also I have noticed in a few downloadable themes, that there is an adduser.vbs script. Is this nessesary to have a add administration. From the past seems I loaded it or it added a new admin. on my system where it would ask for a password for which i did not know.

So from now on I delete it from any theme I tend to d/l.

Hmmm the adding a button for the manual sounds like a capitol idea.

nice ideal thanks for pointing that out ill contact him and see what he has to offer

also I have noticed in a few downloadable themes, that there is an adduser.vbs script. Is this nessesary to have a add administration. From the past seems I loaded it or it added a new admin. on my system where it would ask for a password for which i did not know.

i dont believe the adduser.vbs is needed it sounds like thats a addon that some one else created,

the link to the reference has been removed, ill leave the server up for a few more minutes for any one to finish up looking and reviewing

back to work

Sorry Lost Soul, just a question I gotta ask

I have only used the current version of WPI.

is there a large difference in the WPI,htm (or any) from previous version?

Because I cant seen to find this in my source.

Look for this ( top of page ) inside your wpi.htm file in the theme your using

<script> if (bgpicture && bgpicture[0]!='') { document.all.bgpiclayer.style.display = 'block'; document.all.bgpic.src = bgpicture[0]; } </script>

<table class="box" border="0" width="100%" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" onclick="stopInterval()"> <tr><td colspan="2" bgcolor="#18339f" height="5%"> WRITE HERE

no worries on any questions lionhrt im always glad to try to help, ive double checked the code and at the time of adding by method of proofing old posts, i failed to realize that that script is for an older version of wpi, ill make sure it and every script is edited for up to date versions

sorry for the confusion,, but thanks for the reminder on my todo list

,, the versions have changed and in the file on line 18,, it should look this with the latest version

<script>

  if (bgpicture != '')

  {

  document.all.bgpiclayer.style.display = 'block';

  document.all.bgpic.src = bgpicture;

  }

</script>

is where you want to look at
