Hacking akSHELL 2.10

[env]

I think moonlight had that app, but why he/she don't bother to include that in misctools folder.

 

[azure0wind]

maybe they wont let anyone to edit their fonts?

Some News:
When you press Exit To Firmware it will boot slot 2
So akaio will be in the apps menu
also there will be a bgpack.dat included with about 50 famous themes

Nice project, but like Rockstar already knows, I'm not going to join for now
Maybe later

Anyway, I have some suggestion for the forum rules (the current ones were a bit strange to me

)

Spoiler

Welcome to the akSHELL forums!
Please read the following rules

Anyone breaking the rules will be Warned, Suspended or Banned (in the worst cases)!

Posting Rules
1. You may NOT post a DIRECT OR UN-DIRECT LINK to DOWNLOAD NDS ROMS!
2. No FLAMING!
3. Remember to KEEP ON TOPIC!

Beta Tester Rules
1. You must submit BUGS on a regular basis (All Bugs MUST be found before release!)
2. NEVER share the Beta to other people without Admin permission!

If you break one of these rules, you will no longer be a Beta tester!


THANKS for your attention!

Could that be made configurable?
Not everyone has slot-2

Cool thanks for that.

Also, in regards to the time posted on the akshell site, it looks fine for me.

 

[rockstar99]

the betal will not have sounds and fonts but everything else is 100% done

Hope you don't mind me doing this - not being a BETA tester or even one of the graphic designers (& you've said graphically it's 100% done)
- but I've been experimenting just to see what an AKAIO skin top screen would look like without the Month calender & with small clock (First time using a vector graphic package BTW)

Here's what it looks like (I've based it on the AKAIO 1.5.1 top screen as I don't know what top screen you're using on akShell Moonshell skin)

(compared to original)

Haven't quite got the colours/gradulation right & the text grphics used for the clock doesn't 'look' right to me - but I don't think it looks too bad without the calender

Comments ??

Actually, looks quiet good. I don't like the calender anyway, because I never look at it.
I really hope this is going to turn out to be good

 

[Joltlord]

Very interesting indeed. I hope to be able to use the final version very soon. I didn't like the way Moonshell looked and I love the idea of using AKAIO as the design origin so good job and luck everyone working on this project

Rockstar: Just a small suggestion - can you place the akShell forum link on the first post. Saves me having to go through 2-3 pages trying to find it each time

 

[obito]

joined the site and i hope i can be a beta tester

lol sorry about tht, linked it now

what I would like to learn now is how to convert/edit that font, any hints how to do that? Has anybody had an app that reads .ctf .glf .glw file-types??

QUOTE(azure0wind @ Feb 23 2010, 11:41 AM) nope...i'm trying to figure how i can edit that too.but, no.

Not sure if this is relavant or it'll help but a google search for 'CTF fonts' came up with this page - but it's to do with Web rather than DS fonts, however it might be something similar (but it's a Looong document & is totally goggly-gook to me)

However, IF you can't figure out how Moonshell fonts are done but you can figure out the 'type' of font it is being used, perhaps you can create a custom font for AKAIO instead
[ See these post for info: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?act=ST&f=172&t=203252 & http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=160...p;#entry2046916 ]

I know akShell is meant to be a total 'Moonshell package', but I guess AKAIO may also need a (slight) modification as well, just to tie things together a little more neatly

Omg I got an idea thank alot, mabye i can include both moonshell and akaio in th package and both of them will be modified as far as they can go for example moonshell will have sounds, theme, splash.ani and akaio will have fonts, akSHELL skin and more stuff i find

thanks alot also your image is good above can i use it in the default theme?

Hey that was MY idea !!!!

- I was thinking of producing a AKAIO skin 'based on akShell Moonshel package' once it came out

Anyway - Yes you can use the graphic if you like, just remember to give me credit even though I'm not one of the 'graphic developers' or BETA testers ( I didn't want to become a BETA tester as I don't really use my DS that much to test anything) - but I thought you said graphics were 100% done ??

If you want any changes (e.g like the title smaller or the transparent 'clock box' a different colour) - just let me know & I'll see what I can do

I didn't apply for it since I don't have MSN & didn't really want to sign up to yet another forum but perhaps I could be a part-time graphic developer

I'll have to think about it

sorry i know it was your idea

anyways if you are contributing graphics then imo you are a graphic designer for me

and graphics are done but changes are always good for the better

thanks
