Zinc Control Config Utility Released! (1.5 now released)
<< < (3/9) > >>
JCKnife:
Can't wait to try it--thank you!!!
Space Fractal:
The gui seem to been wrong, when using the old Windows Theme. Look on the attachments, how it looked.

Zinc have never been the easiest utility to config, so a nice utility.


SlaveUnit:
Will this work with the way Minwah has his setup (not using Howards wrapper)?  Just curious because I see you have to replace the zinc.dat file.  And I think that is where Minwah's mappings are.  Thanks.
Howard_Casto:
You are confused, I mean zinc.dat as in clrmamepro.dat (rom verifier) it has nothing to do with mamewah's settings.

And while I suppose it COULD work with mamewah without my wrapper, you have to have the ability to send a different set of command-line options for each game (to set the controller.cfg) and manually setup the command to send for each game.  It's far easier to use my wrapper as it's setup automatically if you drop it in the zinc folder with this utility.  My wrapper works just as well in mamewah as it does any other fe.   


 :soapbox:

Why in the world people still add hardcoded support for zinc in their fe's is beyond me considering my wrapper comes PRE-CONFIGURED for zinc and it's been available since zinc's first release.  I mean why re-invent the wheel?   All any fe needs is a section in their docs that says "for zinc support use HowardC's wrapper found here" and a quick guide on how to use it on that particular fe.

Nope, not a bug... that's intentional.  I make the check boxes white to match xp themes, I don't really care what they look like in 9x as any 9x theme is ugly anyway.  ;) I wanted to make the tabs match, but there isn't a way to get/set the tab color in 9x (or xp for that matter).   

If you are referring to the over-lapped text in that one check box, again that is a windows thing and I have no control over it.  If you have large fonts turned on in your display properites or any kind of text tweaking turned on it changes the size of fonts on all windows apps and the developer has no control over it.  I turned off themes on my pc to see if I could get the text to overlap and it doesn't, meaning that you have tweaked the text someway on your pc.  Sorry.

However, when I get around to another release I'll make the check box wider, which should help.
