[V1.3]Skinviewer Reloaded

Hi all,

I made a Skinviewer for firmware version 2.004.5, and it works :D
Also works with 2.004.3 since the image numbers are the same.
I made it because the last update from Thusti to the old skinviewer, was a long time ago. And its about time for a new skinviewer, or update. But since Thusti isnt responding to anything, i thought i wil make one myself.
!Note: It only works with 2.004.5, no other versions.
!Note: The labels are not all on the good spot.
This is it:

How to use:

-First open your resource.bin with a resource editor (i used M6&M3 1.22), and then export all images to a folder.
-Then copy the program to that folder, and run it.
-Then at the top click on screens, and then Music Screen, and now it wil load the screen for the Music Screen.
-If you want transparency on the preview then you can right click the object to change the left bottem pixel to the transparent color. This because the program needs the left botton pixel to be the color that has to be transparent.
-If you want to save the screen, then just click on "File" and then Save .....Screen, then it save's a jpeg to the folder where the program is located.

Version 1.3:
-Now shows usb &video screen, they can also rotate.
-Now also shows start up screen.
-Option to show volume lvl bar.

Version 1.2:
-Now also shows the record screen.
-Option to save the screen. Example: you load the music screen, then click on "File" and then on Save MusicScreen. Then it save's a jpeg to the folder where the program is located.

Version 1.1:
-Now shows the menu screen, and the radio screen.
-Option to change the left bottom pixel for transparency, no you dont have to change the picture itself.
-Option to change the menu bar colors.
-Option to change the text on the music screen.

Version 1.0:
-Only supports firmware version 2.004.5.
-Only shows Music screen.
-Function to change icon's.

I am working on the other screens, like menu and radio etc...
Tell me if there are any bugs, then il try to fix them.

Thanks Hillman.

Thank you!

Update to version V1.1, see changes in first post.

I made a skinviewer a while ago wich could be used for the last firmware version... its somewhere on this site...

changes in V1.1 are very usefull, thanks

You should add an option to export the image of the screen

Many good improvements in 1.1.

Oh i did not know that, but i am still going to make further progress with this program, just to practice and as an project

I dont know if there is an function to that in delphi (programming language). Il look for it, but if you want to make a picture of it, you can make a printscreen and then just copy it to paint, or photoshop or a other graphic editing program. And then just cut it out, and save it as an jpeg.

That's how i do it

It would just be easier

In visual basic you can just do something like picturebox1.image.save("C:/imagename.jpg") you can probably do that in delphi al well...

Well that would not work as the screen consists of multiple images, but i made another code wich works :D .

Update to version V1.2, look at first post for changes.

Update to version V1.3, look at first post for changes.

your the man! hopefully you will update it afther FW upgrades!
maybe find to open the firmware file instead of loading all images?

anyway this will save allot of time uploading skin to player and test it.

ok, I tested your prog, and it is almost perfect!
I found some little bugs, I'm reporting them to give you some feedback.

Bugs I found:

pink is not invisible for the following images:

• battery icon (all screens)
• scrollbar (menu screen)
• FM and Mhz (radio screen)
• microphone (record screen)

There is only one horizontal scrollbar in the menu visible, maybe you can work something out so you can choose what color needs to be visible.

USB and video screen is really cool RESPECT!

the tool is easy to use, keep up the good work mate!

Thank you all for the feedback.

If you have a pink picture then just right click on it, and then pink will become invisible. Just hover your cursor on it, and then there comes an explantion.

And if you are in the menu screen, then you can click at the top on edit, and then menu bar color, and then you can choose the color you want.

I dont know how to make a code with the resource.bin, this was the most easy way for me.

I talked with Thusti a while ago, and he told me he was very busy with his studies, so thats properly the reason why we don't se him here anymore.

But it is great that you are making a new version.
What programming language do you write it in?

I write it in delphi, its a bit basic language, but its verry easy to understand. And it works as you can see

Delphi's a developer environment, the language is Object Pascal and in my oppinion it's quite good
And the proggy looks nice too

It is good, and verry usefull ^^.

And thanks for the comment :D

Would be nice to add the option to change text color and font.

Is this is only way to view skin of 2.004.5 or there is another way to do it?
