    Skins plugin

    CAUTION: THIS IS AN ALPHA STAGE PLUGIN. IT CAN DO VERY BAD THINGS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    This is a service plugin to allow using different skins. It uses javascript as the language the skins are written, thus allowing a lot of flexibility.

    Keep in mind that this is an initial version of the plugin. It is intended to grow a loot (its to do list is bigger than its features list :P ). Currently it allows only calculating the position of elements.

    It works based in the consept of a skin beeing a group of small skins (one for each client). The skins are inside the dir <Miranda>\Skins\<Skin name> , and inside that folder, each client skin has the name <Client>.msk

    Inside the zip there is also a version of MyDetails using this plugin.

    Please keep in mind that development is slow because of my lack of time.

    Many thanks to the v8 team for the javascript engine implementation.

    This needs Miranda 0.8 to work.


    TODO:
    ------------------
    - Allow changing skin without restart
    - Add support for handling skin packs
    - Add support for emoticons in text fields
    - Add code to draw elements on screen
    - Add service to create a new frame only based on the fields
    - Allow setting variables by the users of the plugin


    KNOWN PROBLEMS:
    ------------------
    - It seems to have a memory leak (last time I debugged it, it was inside v8 - maybe I just don't understant its garbage collector?)

    1. Your ANSI build won't load in Win98SE although there's no apparent missing dependencies (was it compiled with VS2008?)
    2. The code cannot be compiled with VC6 (too many errors to mention)

    :( I had my hopes. It was compiled with vs2008 but linked statically... Don't know why it does not work...

    It cant and never will compile with it (at least until isn't possible to compile v8 with vc6)

    Nothing compiled with VS2008 - either statically or dynamically - will ever work in Win9x, this has already been tested.

    As for V8, I'm positive Google doesn't have the slightest reason to make it VC6-compatible, so there's nothing we can do about it (unless you switch to something else, which I suspect won't happen).

    BTW, have you checked the MyDetails code that I posted few days ago in its thread? I see a lot of features missing from the version bundled with Skins.

    No, I have not checked it. I was doing the skins plugin and didn't want to change focus at that moment.

    EDIT: I read your post in MyDetails thread. That patch only add locked text to the protocol name or it does something else?

    I'm pretty sure I have things (plug-ins for another program) running under Win9x that I have compiled with VS2008. Have anyone looked into why a statically linked DLL doesn't load with Miranda?

    V8 should compile with gcc.

    I could give it a try since I have a fully working GCC/MingW available, there are probably a few tweaks needed, but ususally gcc and VC8 aren't much different.

    A gcc compiled ANSI binary _should_ run on Win98.

    If you want to give it a try, the sources for the skin plugin are at http://pescuma.googlecode.com/svn/tr.../Plugins/skins and http://pescuma.googlecode.com/svn/tr.../Plugins/utils

    The skins project is linked against the v8 lib compiled as static lib (with the snapshot option)

    Waouh ! a new UI plugin ! Great !
    But for now it does not work in my case. I have to disable "automatically resize clist" if I don't want clist to be more and more big

    But even without this option, Miranda Freezes and CPU is at maximum !

    Maybe it's because I have not updated some plugins.

    I have an older machine than yours yet it don't happen here. Could you please export your MyDetails settings and send it so I can try to reproduce here? Thanks

    PS: Your vi don't have the new my details nor the skins plugin. I'm assuming it's because of the freeze
