It would go on the forum, I guess. Just a white pixel and a black pixel emoticon. It would be useful for quickly making a sprite in a post, or for diagramming stuff.

I just now noticed this thread, and I have to say, that's a pretty neat little tool there. I haven't yet thought of a good reason to use it, but I do like that it exists.

Thanks. I came up with the idea because when I write tutorials, I like providing actual screenshots for code (see http://omniurl.tk/6825/125654/, for instance), but typing and screenshotting in WabbitEmu for every few lines was taking too long. And so I thought of a way I could generate screenshot-like images that could be dynamically changed whenever I wanted, even if I didn't have an emulator nearby.

Yeah that really speed things up. Sometimes I also want to show an example of ASCII graphics to someone for map ideas and I have to use WabbitEmu, which gets annoying when it's just for a screenshot.

Noticed a bug:

The homescreen is only 8 characters tall, but the editor @ clrhome.tk/resources/homer is 11 characters tall.

...in Internet Explorer, correct? :)

Either that or Opera. All other browsers I've tested do it correctly.

Yep, as I said:

IE and Opera don't apply the rule line-height: 0.8 to the textarea's rows attribute. It's a bug.

I just realized... Thanks to a certain feature of Unicode standards, Homer isn't capable of displaying subscript characters (such as the 1 in L1) and maybe a few others characters. How important are these to you?

Deep, my resolution is 1366*768. What if you made HOMER UI Maker work like that webpage of yours that requires no scrolling?

I mean, I see a lot of space you can cut and make it work for computers with resolution minor than 724 (lower than that is hard and would break design).

I'm not sure if it's doable, but it would look better.

Done. Better?

And I fixed the issue with subscripts. Use %80 for [size=0]0[/size], %81 for [size=0]1[/size], and so on.

How does one go about actually getting the screenshot? :( Nevermind, didn't see the syntax part of the OP lol.

Click "Screenshot"? It redirects you to the image, which you can link to/save/whatever.
