Didn't Mike2 create one of these first ?

Shoutbox Theme Generator

Yah but all his did was randomly generate numbers.

You also had to manually set them and everything.

Mine also allows you to pick colours , import /export themes , apply themes automatticlly , Its more compact , has a preveiwer and stuff.

Its like comparing Poop to an iPod!
(Sorry , Good work and idea Mike2 but not as featured)

Erm...You are in the instructions window which is the about window also.

But if you must.....Matty helped me with Error Handling Problem / Writing a Function.

Ive been looking into making apply compatible for FireFox.

My choices are...

1. Use the Mozilla Control (Which would require me to ship  other .dlls with the program and so far I havent gotten it to work.)

2. Open the mozilla cookie file and edit it. (Which will be tricky and perhaps damage your cookies)

3. Have the user open a FireFox window (Or not if he already had one open) and then let me send the script.

If I use 3 its probably the safest / convenientest way to do it.

What do you all think? I use FireFox so I got to get it working with it or else I wont think very well of this project.

What do yall think?

i think a version for FireFox would be good but i definatly dont think 2 is a good idea. 

And extra dlls arent good, so i agree, method 3 is prob the best way to go

An alternative, not-so-silent method, would be to create an html document which automatically (by javascript) sends a form to the shoutbox page which is the equivalent of filling in the theme manually.  You could save that in a temp location, shell it and hence support all browsers.

Hey , I dont quite like the way the preveiw is right now....I kind of want it attatched to the main window or something of the sort..Any ideas?

Sketch had it clip to the sid of the window on Form_Load()

(Personal version he made for himself , I sent him the code)

But I was thinking of better ideas?

i think the firefox think it abit risky to be honest but you can take a shot at it if you want

Just add a preview on the right (or left) of the current window (therefore making the window wider, of course)
