[quote who="classicaerotheme" reply="8" id="3677807"] Classic theme of Windows 7 - One of the most user friendly and least requiring Windows. Comfortable background colors along with the ease of use. The classic interface of the system was worked on for many years on WIndows 7 and it came out best in this system. The theme "True Classic" - contains the interface of the outdated Windows 95. In the "True Classic" theme you've got diff

Skinning backwards was the reason I was turned on by WindowBlinds. I 'required' a bare bones basic old school windows theme, and WindowBlinds / SkinStudio filled the bill. I will get back to looking at True Classic as soon as I get Creator update and go through it with a fine tooth comb. I am currently using my 6502 theme here as my main skin (and lovin' it). ;)

Version 1.0 is available. This is the first version of the Free Pascal port of the C# .NET source. Requires 64bit Windows. Unzip into a clean folder and run. No modification are made to registry, all settings are saved in an INI file (the good old fashioned way). It's about 3 to 4 times faster than the C# version. All the functionality that was in the C# version is there except the Accuracy setting (it now does 100%) plus I added a 'Reduce Palette By 1' to auto combine two of the closes

The Lazarus / Free Pascal port is nearing completion. I am really digging Pascal. I think it may be the platform for all my future projects. The Lazarus IDE is a dream to use and the speed of the applications built with it run circles around anything I have done in .NET. I will see about a Linux build as well once the Window one is completed.

I am currently porting this from .NET to a real platform to speed it up. I had a false start at doing it in straight up C. There is a huge lack of any resources on the web. I might as well be porting it to COBOL or Assembler. I am not a huge fan of object oriented programming. so... I've settled on Lazarus / Free Pascal. It's coming along very nicely. I've almost forgotten how beautiful of a language Pascal is. I have my IDE setup to mimic the old DOS Turbo Pascal. It's all coming

In case anyone wants to play around with my latest project (Retroize), it's available at my usual place for odd ball software. My software is free. No source code is available for this one. I want to hang onto my process. http://www.vtxemu.com/misc.html It uses my own specialized algorithm for tight ordered 2x2 dithering using custom color palettes. I wanted a process that dithers much in the way old timey 8bit graphics

I've updated this app. Sped up bitmap manipulation routines, cleaned up the UI, added CursorFX style frame paletted images, simplified the cropping. Tested it out make two CursorFX sets without failure. ;) I've uploaded it.

I have a working frame saver to save in CursorFX format. It's really later here, I will test more tomorrow. Want to be sure the filestream gets closed/disposed of correctly on save, etc. Above example would append a 32x32 frame at 0, 128 of NormalSelect[32] if the [Save 32x32] button is pressed while in Palette Frame mode.

I gave CursorFX a try. I actually like creating my own content and sharing it. I didn't see much in the way of authoring tools in CursorFX. Maybe it was just because I tried the trial version? I can only import a single image for a cursor. I did not see any method for creating animated cursors. Plus, only people with CursorFX can use CursorFX cursors as far as I know. Generic windows cursors can be used by everyone.
