M8 Tile Editor

Is anyone using this? Any probs? Comments welcome.

I also have an "extension" makes the pressed state of the tile tilt left, right, up, down or random. See attachment.

caveat: obviously it can't tilt according to the tile edge pressed like the W8 CP start page tiles.

This is excellent idea! M8 Tile Editor is the first TLB based application. I have even not thought that this possible to make with TLB. Great work!

Now what problems I've found:

1. M8 Tile Editor works only for Administrators and UAC must be turned off. This is my fault, I have to move the TLB skins out off the Program Files.

2. M8 Tile Editor saves the PNG images into incorrect place. It is correctly to save PNG's into ~~images~~\btnimages, but the folder "~~images~~" must be located in the root of toolbar. Currently M8 Tile Editor saves the PNG into the same folder where the shortcut is located.

Thanks Yuri, I find it useful.

Are you talking about the save folder when you click the Save button? If so it's just a folder to keep a copy of the image, not use it directly.

The Use button however should be locating the correct toolbar in which to save the image - [toolbarfolder]/~~images~~/btnimages. At least that's how I coded it.

It should also set the iconLocation correctly when the source button is in a virtual folder or workspace.

I've prepared the video:


tlbdata.xml is updated correctly. But script don't find the toolbar folder correctly. As you can see the ~~images~~ folder was created in the menu.

Okay I'll fix it.

Now working - uploaded updated skinslib

Thank you. Now working fine.
