EZ-Flash USA Forum

Added spoiler to the first post and a new version R70.

So R70 is here to fix the hangs problem when saving from a template project.
Please download this new version to avoid this dumb bug.

im trying to make a new skin
and i get this error when booting my EZ5
and dont know what i did wrong:=
i dont think i did anything diffrent from last time

okay
i managed to get by that problem
i had some bad files in the \makeskin\template\ folder

now i have 1 tiny little issue left
i cant replace "FL_Single_ItemBG_Select.png"
it shows up as 1 color and not the image
(this is the bar over the file you have selected)

i know this can be replaced becuz i did it before
and this file is still referenced in the firmware ezsys.bin file as before

I doubt it's possible to change this since cheryl has added the ability to choose transparency % in ezskin.ini. Sorry.

BTW, you can change the color with the right click inside ez skin forger.

i see
so the .ESS file has been changed??

but
i have my old skin still working with image for this
and its really cool

so its the forger that doesnt support it not the DAT files

so i guess i need to use older version to make this work

ah ha!!
CustomSelectTextBackground=1
this needs to be set to 0 for the image in \Template\ to appear
and
this image can be a PNG with alpha anyway
it can be semitransparent anyway
so this should be default i think

now
i noticed a problem with this program
when i compile a skin using early version R48
my skin.dat is under 300KB which is reasonable
when i compile with the latest version
it is 800KB
i reused some images for the backgrounds for cheats and settings
its like the program makes them multiple anyway
so i end up with a larger DAT on my microSD
but even so 800KB is excessive for the exact same skin

Check the R62 change log and you will understand why .dat files are bigger now.
Don't worry, this is safe. Already tested a lot of time.
And thanks for the heads up about CustomSelectTextBackground=1, i forgot about this one.

ah i see
it does put multiple copies inside the DAT
this really should be optional
every KB matters on a microSD

Ez skin forger RN81 is available !
New free mode added and some new templates added.

Please use this version to compile again your skin, in case new feature appear in next kernels (big icon mode and calendar).

Also, i have tested this release with cheryl a long time, but we can have not seen some nasty bugs. Please help us in this way, by reporting any bugs found.
Thanks.

new version is up and no one bumped the thread??
..........*BUMP*!!!!!1

Ez Skin Forger RN96 is out ! First post updated.

Thanks for the update ;3
I'm happy that I can use full transparancy now =3

Ez Skin Forger goes open source !

If you wish to donate a few buck to Cheryl, don't hesitate.

Just a reminder, Cheryl is not a member of ez team and has made this app for free.

when I use skin forger (RN96) to convert old skins and I get the dat file only.....is it normal.
