I like the new look, But I would suggest some kind of banner on that page. But other than that its clean and it flows. Looks alot more professional too.

Tiermann, I have a question. When you changed the dialer program, did the files being generated change at all as the latest version as of a couple of days ago was giving me funny results. Perhaps not all of my old dialer files were now being overwritten?

After a reset, my dialer wasn't skinned properly (the backround of the smart dialer was alway incorrect and not all my dailer selections were now showing up). I reverted back to an old dialer from your 1st or 2nd version and things were now fine again. I checked the proecss a couple of times with similar results.

The last 2 versions were bug fixes to the backdrop saving for portrait progress and a fix to the saving of the indialer (smartdial and statusbox) images. The last changes to the ammount of files it outputs was when I added the down buttons, but that was b1.0.8.

If you could zip up that incorrect skin along with the matching .skin file from your TDialDesigner folder I could take a look for you. That'll let me know your exact settings and what came out as the end result. Just to double check too, that was with v1.0 that you had trouble? Version shows in the titlebar in most builds, or you can rightclick the exe file and bring up properties->details tab to see on really early versions. That way I know which one works for you and which doesn't.

Tiermann, (firstly, I don't want to take anything away from your work which we all think is really great but I had some strange issues).

My version I'm now using is b.1.1.5 and I was using one of the first versions earlier. I'm thinking that even without sending you my files you're saying that yes, the output count did change. If this is the case the leftovers perhaps from the early version after loading a dialer from the later version would cause the issue I had. Specifically, the smart dialer background was off when I loaded up the later version as were some of the buttom actions (I'm thinking it was in the landscape mode). I was able to re-create the problem.

I didn't send you my files as I'm not sure it's needed (but I don't know how lol).

Thanks!

The number of files did change, but only went up. Anything from older versions still exists and gets replaced by skins from newer versions. v1.0 hasn't had any changes from b1.1.5 other than cleanup (which was just removal of comments and adding of new ones) and packaging.

And I know you're not bashing the work or anything

I'd like to fix any problems you're having.

If you have a chance... If you could copy the .skin file to that incorrect skin's folder and to zip up files (if you're on Windows XP or Vista) you can right-click on a folder and choose "send to->compressed zip folder". That will give you a zip file with the same name as the folder. It just makes it easier for me to see exactly what your settings were when you created the skin as well as what exactly went wrong.

Sorry, Trehouse. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem you're having. I was able to load up your skin file and it saved all of the images exactly as they were set in the designer for me. I did however find another bug that wouldn't let me open a previous skin file if you didn't have a TDial.ini, so I fixed that one.

If anyone else is having the same problem as Trehouse, please let me know and we'll try to narrow it down.

Update: v1.0.1
-Fixed a bug where old skins couldn't be opened unless you had a TDial.ini.
