Preview of AveTool
What?
Who?
- Desklet Authors
- Skinners (AveTunes, etc...)
- Anybody interested
When?
dunno.
Beta?
If you are a desklet author or skinner, reply in this thread if you want to try test versions of this.
Example
The following file is a stand-alone version of the AveDesk Stickies Desklet. Note that this build is from a very early test version, so there's lots of stuff that should not be there.

I don't get it.
Is this just so anybody can make stand-alone desklets?
Happy New Year, BTW.

@Wuzzie
I think this is more for developers then us, "simple" users.

@ Wuzzie: It's an application to run only your favorite desklets, without running AveDesk

Actually, I'm not a skinner or a coder, but I would be VERY interested in testing it out as well
Oh, I forgot. Will the standalone desklet version use less resources than actual AveDesk version?

Okay, I am guessing that you can basically take multiple desklets that are used in AveDesk and combine them to create your own application. Is this correct? If so, grand idea, it would somewhat eliminate the need for avedesk and allow you to create your own application. Which should create less need for system resources (in theory).

Here's a very early test version.
http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/AveTool.zip . Extract to your AveDesk folder.
Remarks
- The last dialog is currently the "version" page. Pressing next will compile the thing
- You must pick a trayicon
- by typing *.png in the "browse for trayicon" dialog you can also pick a PNG, which will be converted to an icon automatically.
- You can hand change some of the policies.xml fields before pressing the final "next".
Remarks are appreciated.

Hangs during compiling for me. It appears to complete at least a partial build. I'll continue testing with some other desklets.
System Specs
XP2
3.8 P4
Standard Intel Graphics

Please give me the following details:
- install path
- files created in the output directory
- using any filepaths with spaces in it
- desklet trying to compile
- anything you think is relevant
Do you have any IM on where I can contact you?
