As a few know Zap and I have been working on this for a few days now.

The question was raised in some topic about packages for FB, so you dont have to download the full 3MB file, when yo wont use 90% of the included libraries anyways.

So we got to work, and heres some screenshots of the WIP:

[Image: 497-r]
[Image: 498-r]

It's made in VB, ya, I know.. but neither me nor Zap feelt like messing with GUI in FB Tongue
:roll:
VB? You will have to set up partial downloads for the downloader!! Big Grin
Well, the exe is kind of big, ~150 or so KB

And it does require the VB runtimes.


Guess we should make it in FB, using GTK+, who wants to DL 30mb runtimes?
Good, you do it ^_^


Besides, most people have the vb runtimes, if not.. well, no problem, they will be downloaded if needed Wink
Anyone who doesn't have the VS98 runtimes in this day and age is a moron. You hear me? A MORON.
How do I change my name in this forum? I need to change it to. "A Moron!"

LOLOL

well I got VB6 so the runtime is part of it..but I don't have the runtime that you can download...does that count? LOL
OK, I was joking in my previous message, it was directed to Z!re and I expect Zire understood it.

Great work, Zire & Zap! I'll download it, of course!!



Ado: We had our (good) fun in another thread some months ago... Can we forget it?

BTW: I have checked and I have VB5 and VB6 runtimes... Checked too moron in the dictionnary... Uh? Big Grin
:lol: :lol: :lol:

The fun never dies. Smile
I would recommend making the buttons bigger =) Nothing is worse than tiny buttons that are missable.

Looks good otherwise Smile
Ok, bigger buttons coming up.


EDIT: Overrules, bigger buttons look like crap.
Buttons look good Big Grin

HOWEVER (sorry to say this):

Button size is optimal if the text just fits in the dotted rectangle when it's selected. Just a matter of taste usually though, and moreover, this is just a (irrelevant) detail.
