sirtex Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Seems we can keep Legolash2o busy forever by requesting new registery tweaks & file deletions forever it seems. I thought there would only be a few extra things to W7Tk, but every week we find more things to add.So, how about W7Tk be just a shell for an UI (at least for tweaks) that loads a user-editable text file that lists all the tweak options we want available to turn off/on or change? This will allow we "users" to edit the text file to add all the tweaks we want, while the W7Tk will act as a front-end to click those tweaks off & on quickly, & allow fast preference changes? This way, Legolash2o does not have to hardcode all the tweaks, warnings, etc himself, & just focus on the tool overall. This will release workload off of the sole programmer, extends the life of W7Tk, and allows most of we super-users who find all the regerstry entries & insights to make safe additions to the tool with out needing access to the source code. Similar to a .REG file, but loadable into a GUI for final editing.I hope you can understand the direction I am going with this. It will take a bit of time for the code to read the configuration text file, GUI builder, etc. But there will be long-term time-savings in the end IMHO. Also, this will allow people who have unique situations to add tweaks to W7Tk for themselves, so the other 90% of the population won't be bothered.Ideas for fields:registry address(es)entry type (text/bool/number)entry options (value, value meaning text)tweak titleshort text description of tweaklong description/warning (to be shown when mouse hovered over, either as pop-up or side-column)preset value (I believe should be Window's out-of-box default, people should use W7Tk to make their own configurations. This is to prevent accidental over-writing of defaults.)I am fine to have a reduced feature set; eg instead of W7Tk creating off/on checkboxes for bool entries, just have a text field & I have to know to enter 0 or 1 to off/on.More of a W7Tk 2.0 suggestion.cheers Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Umm the addons can be built to do almost ALL of that....Like the removal of the sample media images I built one for that a looooooong time ago. Quote

Can you provide a link for that please? I searched "media" in the Addons sub-form & did not find anything. Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Never shared it but I will rebuild it and send it to you. Quote

sirtex Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Never shared it but I will rebuild it and send it to you.Thanks!I thought that addons=pre-installing new software, not removing software or tweaking the regerstry. Perhaps I took the "ADDon" name to literately? How would I go about building such an addon? A search for "addon guide" brings up nothing :/ Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Win7toolkit has an addon builder in the tools section... Quote
Legolash2o Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 It would be easier if i just added 'Add Reg File' on the AIO Tweaks page so you can import and add them that way... Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Straight reg files addition would be awesome... Quote
Legolash2o Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Yeah that's what i meant EDIT: Done. Tested and works Edited August 31, 2011 by Legolash2o Quote
RicaNeaga Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 WOW!!! Great! You can (please) delete my other tweaks request thread! :dancing: Quote
