I finished the Xbrowse Background-Tool for first Tests.
Please copy Your Test-Images to the Subdirectory /IMAGES
Download ( 3 MB ) :
http://www.pflegeplus.com/fw_downloads/imggrad1.zip
You have still to add FREEIMAGE.dll
The Start-Screen :
With the Button < Xbrowse-Test > You can start a quick Preview.
You don't need to save a created BMP to the Project-Database.
If You choose the Button < xBrowse-Test >, the Gradient is stored with the defined Size,
as BMP to the Subdirectory \SESSION : with a running Number : Gradient1.bmp, Gradient2.bmp ...
It is a easy way, to get a Gradient-BMP from this Directory.
With a new Start, these Files will be overwritten and starting with Gradient1.bmp ... again.
The quick xBrowse-Preview to test Font-Type and Color ( nothing saved to the Project-File ) :
The Browser-Preview after saving as Project :
You can switch between STRETCH and TILED
Here You can test any Image as Browser-Background.
A selected / saved Image, not created with the Gradient-Painter, will allways have 0 values for Colors.
Switching to the Main-Dialog, the Painter will use Basic-Settings because of missing Color-Values.
The Start-Dialog is only used for Gradient-Painting.
The Button < Load Project > switches to the Project-Dialog.
You can test a Gradient with the Browser-Preview.
Because the Browser needs a Image, a Temp-File < Gradient0.bmp > for the Preview is created
( not saved to the Project-database ).
Working with Projects :
The Button < Show Project > will display the selected Image as Browser-Background.
Best Regards
