This may be topic for skins forum, and possibly require a separate software to accomplish this.

Possible for a different user interface or skin, such as Winamp3? For user who is interested in only one flight sim, or only some features of HL client. Possible to have completely different "form-factor" or different appearing front end to HL client? for examples, look to variety of winamp3 skins. I'm aware that Winamp3 uses a custom programming language to acomplish this, but maybe possible using the HL key commands with HL running in background?

Sometimes I think too much, sometimes I just talk too much. Not necessary to reply. Wink

Here is the whole skin function:

Code:

Public Function ObjSkin(ByRef obj As Object, ByRef section As String, ByVal item As String)
    Dim prop As String
    Dim inif As String
    Dim itm As String
    Dim scl As Single
       
    On Error Resume Next
    inif = skindir & "\skin.ini"
   
    scl = scale_factor
    With obj
    If Not is_scaled Then
        .Width = .Width * scl
        .Height = .Height * scl
        .Top = .Top * scl
        .Left = .Left * scl
        If item = "lnslot" Then
            .Y1 = .Y1 * scl
            .Y2 = .Y2 * scl
            .X1 = .X1 * scl
            .X2 = .X2 * scl
        End If
    End If
    If item <> "button" Then
        itm = item & ".Font.Name"
        prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
        If prop <> "" Then
            .Font.name = prop
        End If
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".Font.Size"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .Font.Size = prop * scl
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".Font.Bold"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .Font.Bold = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".Font.Italic"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .Font.Italic = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".Font.Underline"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .Font.Underline = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".MouseIcon"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .MouseIcon = LoadPicture(skindir & "\" & prop)
    End If
    If item = "button" Then
        Exit Function
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".Picture"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .Picture = LoadPicture(skindir & "\" & prop)
    Else
        .Picture = LoadPicture()
    End If

    itm = item & ".BackColor"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .BackColor = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".BorderColor"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .BorderColor = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".ForeColor"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .ForeColor = Val(prop)
    End If
       
    itm = item & ".BorderStyle"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .BorderStyle = Val(prop)
    End If
   
    itm = item & ".BackStyle"
    prop = Rfromini(inif, section, itm, "")
    If prop <> "" Then
        .BackStyle = Val(prop)
    End If
    End With
End Function


Its posible. Every UI object passing this function when HL start . But some object using common skin property and it will be hard to sort it. It will be feature for a 4.x version ....
