Title: [WIP] UI Changes
Post by: Panda X on April 21, 2012, 11:39:19 pm
For the last two days I've been picking at the code for the Import/Export and Open/Save dialogs. Here's what I've come up with:

• The Import image / Export image dialogs are separate from the Open and Save file dialogs. This means if you're importing images from some folder then save the theme, when you click the import or export button again it'll open up where it last was rather than where you saved your theme at.

• When opening or saving a theme a Windows Style Builder tree is shown in the navigation pane. The Theme folder is C:\Windows\Resources\Themes (or whatever your primary drive letter is). The CustomThemes folder is for those who own AveStyler. If you don't this folder isn't shown.:

• Import image dialog now has options to skip alpha checking and/or remove magic pink:

• Exporting images now asks to overwrite:

Other bits you might not have noticed:

• The status bar now shows information as to what the selected class, part, or state is for. This information was for the previous help dialog before WSB 1.5.
• The status bar is now shown at all times.
• The x glyph in the search box is now shown again.

    Looks really good,statusbar always showing is great, more info in it as well )),having used debug mode it's a must for me now,everyone should know about it.Same with the alpha/magic pink options,once you know they're there you'll get used to using them.
    These updates  can only make WSB  more user friendly
