AppearanceEdit Version History

Version 1.400 (13 Jun 2005)

  • In order to reduce code bloat and simplify, removed support for "color only" Appearances, leaving only support for full Appearances. To support both kinds required 2 almost entirely separate rendering engines, thus bloating the program. Most of the "color only" Appearances looked crappy anyway, but if desired they can be recreated as full Appearances.
  • An Appearance file can now contain file icons for any file type -- you can add a file icon and specify which file type it is to be used for (for example, "image/jpeg"). An icon can also be used for a whole group (for example, if you specify "image/" as the type).
  • Added mouse icons (pointers/cursors) to the Appearance file, allowing you to customize them. The OS mouse icons are no longer used.
  • In the Images panel, support the optional drawing of transitions (aka "gradients") underneath variable-size user interface elements (to be useful, the image must have transparent areas for the transition to show through).
  • The above changes required that the Appearance file format change. Use AppearanceEdit to update old Appearance files to the new format by opening and saving them. Old "color only" Appearances are NOT fully converted automatically (just the colors and icons are imported).
  • Improved the default built-in Appearance ("Evil Chiaroscuro"). Evil Chiaroscuro is now sexy beyond belief. Gimme some of that dark gray metal baby, give it to me hard, ohhh yeah.
  • Started implementation of a Scale feature that will allow for bigger (higher resolution) Appearances to be created. Not finished, so disabled for now.
  • In the Images panel, added support for Progress Bars optionally showing a percentage (previously this was only possible with "Color Only").
  • Added graph colors for future use.
  • The text color in the Images panel is disabled for items that do not use it.
  • Added ability to change background color of image scrollers.
  • Color choosers are now drawn using their own set of images, instead of abusing Focus Box.
  • Misc minor bug fixes and improvements.

  • Support for Window Menu Bar customization. A Window Menu Bar is a menu bar inside a window, located immediately underneath the window titlebar.

Version 1.100

  • Support WonderLight(TM) customization. See bottom of Images panel. (WonderLight(TM) is the highly technical name for that light you see on the Messages button in KDX, or in the File Transfers window in KDX, or in NetFone.) This requires an update to KDX as well.
  • Support customization of Plus/Minus Buttons (these are used for disclosure in hierarchical lists, etc). See Images panel. This requires an update to KDX as well.

Version 1.020

  • Improved documentation, including a description of every item in the Images panel.
  • Fixed a problem that made it difficult to save the transparent color.

Version 1.010

  • Added "Import Colors" command to the Window Menu, which allows you to grab the colors from a different appearance file, and load them into the current appearance file.

Version 1.000
