EZ5i skinning competition

[env]

@Mbmax: I'm glad that you and cheryl got to work it out.

.....

And wtf with talking stealing someone's ideas here? (members warn others to not steal they're "ideas" ...

??)

 

[TLOZ]

Whoa, I'm a little bit confused right now - I don't have to change the template images, do I?
And what about compiling the skin? Should I compile the skin again or what...(?)

Cause I don't think my skin is broken or has any bugs or kinda that things...

(Edit: About "stealing ideas" - I was the first one, who created a fully blue skin, so c'mon!

)

Edit2: I wanted to change the template. But I have no idea how the skin would look like with changed template and I have no idea where all the icons were placed... Anybody knows, how to get some kind of preview of the template? I couldnt find any option for that in the ESF)

 

[env]

XD just update your ESF TLOZ,
Template items can be modified thru X:\EZSkinForger\MakeSkin\Template
Fyi, the new ESF can now view some template items.

 

[TLOZ]

Ok - just downloaded the latest version of ESF

I don't think im gonna change the template though...
(fits really good with my skin)

Look at RN90 change log env :
QUOTEChange log (RN90):

- modified top screen preview so it can display all template pictures. Closer to reality now.
- added new entry in items called "File List Items" : here you can modify system text colors and the file list selected text background.
- added tweak menu to modify advanced settings (Blur, darken, custom selected text background, file list selected item background transparency)
- added the ability to use custom template. ESF will use the skinname_template_files folder if it found it next to your skinname.ess.
- tweak values are now stored in .ess project and .dat skin. No need anymore to edit the setting.ini file of ESF.

Let imagine your skin name project is blue.ess.
Since ESF RN90, when you open a .ess, ESF look if there is a folder template next to it. In this example, blue_template_files.
Once found it load the content of this folder as custom template.

If not found, it use the one in EZSkinForger\MakeSkin\Template, which has the default template pictures inside.
The only thing to be careful here with this custom template folder, is to use the same format/size (x,y) than default template and to not forget one file.
This folder MUST have 65 files inside.

@TLOZ : it's not an obligation to make a custom template, but a system panel is used in there. The file progress_wnd.png as i told in my advanced tips.
This panel is displayed when you launch a NDS rom, mean most of the time.
The popup panel is used for GBA rom and file delete/copy/move event.

You can see all process in the video on my FAQs in my first post.

Mbmax:
are there any plans for cheryl to incorporate the creation of the [skin name]_up and_bottom. bin files into EFS rather than manually creating them with the conversion program?

FL_Single_ItemBG_Select.png FLCLK_BG.png progress_wnd.png progrss_bar_bg.png do?

I thought the video in the FAQs was enought ...

SCW_BG.bmp SCB_BG.bmp is the calendar/time feature that will be later integrated in ez5i kernel. Those pictures are not used for now.
Same for FLCLK_BG.png picture.

EZ-Tech (eztech_r) skin
for EZ-Flash 5 3.0~
by LDAsh
http://filetrip.net/f12383-EZtech_r-1-0.html
Here is my contest entry, an "EZVi"-themed skin I called "EZ-Tech", for complete lack of anything better to call it. This is 'eztech_r', as there would be an 'eztech_l' left-handed version with this, but I can only submit one entry. I wanted to customise as much as possible and change everything I can, so I went ahead and edited the "/language/English.ini" file too, to get text to fit my skin better (and vise-versa) so I hope that's okay, because without those edits the text won't sit as nicely in some menus. All edits in that file are indended to be used with the skin. Another extra I added is "\EZShell\mys.dat" which is the background image for the in-game menu, since "\boot\booting_up.bin" isn't actually used, it seems, so I thought I'd make use of it that way. It may not suit everyone but it's the best I could do for myself with the free time I've had, so I hope you all like it.

(note: this preview is my own mock-up and (like ESF preview) is not 100% accurate to how it looks on actual hardware)

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Aaaah cool thanks.I think I figured out the others.

 

[dudino]

Cool skin!

-------

@Mbmax: This is what I'm talking about FL_Single_ItemBG_Clear, Proves(kinda) that there is a pre-rendered thing on ESF.
As you can see on his mock-up preview the files BG (not filelist select) are fully customized rather than those "lines" seen on the forger.
I'm saying this and clearing this up for the better of ESF

as I want it to be perfect XD

Here are some suggestion for the next ESF update (If there is any):
Add the ability to view the modified FL_Single_ItemBG_Clear.
Improve Cheat window, add the mul/sub/opt things, ScrollBar, Cheat_ItemBG_Select.png etc.
Better view on Pop-up BG, add progress_bar.png, progress_bar_bg.png there

Oh about the template folder on .ess, thanks for clearing that up.
