hi noccy...

will there be an 32-bit support implemented for alpha-channel?
or is this project stopped?

cheers,

You mean like loading 32bpp PNG files for example? Hm. Could be doable. The project is not stopped I just haven't received any bug reports or suggestions regarding it in a while, so I made the assumption that it is in fact working as intended

I can look into the 32bpp support

Cheers,
Christopher

If is like that...

here are some more feature requests...

support for
- font name
- font size
- font style
- font color
- border color
- border [true|false]
- shadow
- transparenz [true|false] # for the label background

Cheers,
André

I need to check... Aren't quite a few of those options available in the options for the latest version? I have a vague memory of that If they are not i will look into implementing those as soon as poss.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi noccy...

i got this build:

bbDesktopIcons 0.1.5
(c) 2006, Nomad Software

and there is no option to change fonts

Cheers,

Holy crap. You're indeed right! The font option is in my 0.1.6 development version

Uploading it here, but im not changing the main download link in post 1 since there is a slight chance this blows up in your face. Let me know if there are any weird crashes or stuff, okay? I just did a compile of it (which went smooth) but there might be some lose ends in there.

Gonna have a look at it later tonite, have to run out for a bit... But play around with it and tell me what you think

Cheers,
Christopher

Hi...

i have tested your bbDesktopIcons 0.1.6 and here are my results

changing font family: OK
changing font color: OK
changing font size: OK
changing font style: not OK (always normal and not saved to XML)
color dialog can't expanded
some fonts have fragments of #ff00ff background's based on cleartype rendering

but this build is a very good base for an 0.2 version

Cheers Working on it!

Hrmm...Tried versions 0.1.2 up to 0.1.6...ran install.bat every time...get either the MSO-thingamablob error or the ActiveX one...tried every version..I do have all the req's...

The what? o.O do a Ctrl-C on the error message and paste it here... Also, how fare do you get? Can you validate that you have Microsoft XML 2.0 installed?

---------------------------
bbDesktop

Run-time error '339':

Component 'TABCTL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

There we go. Thanks a lot noccy.

1.16 won't work for me. If I try to add an icon it crashes with a "run-time error '380': invalid property value."

The older version still works.

[edit]

Working now

I can only display icons that reside in an exe. Can't use custom icon files. Also, some icons show magic pink.
