I loaded the theme editor on my calculator, a TI-Nspire click pad with OS 3.1 and Ndless, and it reboots when I run it. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Was messing with the editor and this is what I've done:

The picture isn't very clear since it was my iPhone... So don't just trust what you see.

1. Outlined in red (not as bright as in the photos)
2. Changed top bar gradient to Black to Blue
3. Pop up bar when putting mouse over things is now black with bright green text and outline
4. All titles (e.g. New Document, Current, Recent>) are a darker gray that light up bright green when highlighted
5. Highlight bar is also Black to Blue gradient
6. Drop down menu (e.g. when you click recent or status) is black with dark gray text that are green when highlighted just like the homescreen
7. When you highlight the apps at the bottom, the text that comes up at the very bottom matches the red outline.
8. The "Current" and "Recent>" text turn a dark red when there is no current or recent

GB, are you using the latest revision of Ndless?

Maybe I'll give that a shot. Been a while since I've upgraded Ndless. Thanks for the help!

Mine isn't the newest version either (newest: r643 mine: r623) but it works fine as you see by my pictures above

Looking pretty good
Does this mean that in the future there might be theme files or something, like replacing the themes.csv with some customized version?

Not really but that's the idea.
According to my thoughts, the theme developer will create bunch of themes and publish them somewhere in a database. Other users will do so. Then, users that don't want to waste time or don't know much about theme editing will just send the .theme.tns files on the calculator and launch them (ndless.cfg). The theme will be applied and saved as default theme.


For now I have only one problem : I have no precise idea how to separate the theme editor itself and the theme manager. What's cool now, is that the theme editor launch immediatly. If I add a theme manager we will have to chose some option each time we will want to change a value.

Also, I plan to add a "last index" thing in order to avoid losing (the game) time during come and backs to the theme editor.

Is the latest Ndless available at the usual place? Because the last time I downloaded the latest revision on the Ndless site it still wouldn't run some recent demos or programs, so I thought Ndless updates moved elsewhere or something.

No. It is still where it is (unsads).
But the thing is, there is a svn trunk for beta testers and ExtendeD/Lionel where you have to build it with a specific env. Some demos where using those revisions of Ndless.
To my mind Lionel updates the public build when he has some time =).

Anyway, it should work with the latest publicly available revision as some users here managed to run it.

Nice =)
Is it possible that you take some of your time to give a name to each field you modified in order to make it easier for other people to modify what they want ?
It is what I call "ready for documentation".
Thanks.

Ah ok so the latest version isn't always an executable right? I guess that might explain why there were some people having troubles running Ndless programs sometimes.

Yes. For example, when there is a bug in the trunk, we can "easily" fix it. If the public one would have been automatically updated, that would let some people with an untested revision.
But most of the time, it is just that people don't have the latest publicly available revision because they don't know there is a new one. Indeed, Ndless 3.1 is in constant upgrade since the recent works and discoveries (usb, gui, strings, etc ..).

 Ndless's SVN head is now pushed at least every week as a public zipped release  to make it available to everyone. The packaging and upload is automated with a 'make' target to make things easier.

Ick.
so. many. options.
Could you name them a bit recognisable and put some headers in?
(I prefer the last above the first)

Those names are taken directly from the list. I'm guessing they're part of the OS itself, and the editor just lists and changes them.
Most of them you can (somewhat) tell what they are just by looking at the names, anyway.. And if you don't know for sure and care enough to find out you can change it to some obvious color and look around
