ES Theme Editor

Great concept. What language is this written in? I assume VB or something similar. I'd love to help contribute. I have a degree in software engineering.
-
I used the programming language C # and Windows Presentation Foundation to build an interface.

Amazing!! I hope more people of this forum can help you make it better.

Redesigned user interface.

@chiribas10 I've just tried the new version and there are a few niggles:
- the Help bar still doesn't show up for me on the view editor
- you can manually change the size of the view editor by clicking and dragging the edges of the box but it doesn't update the size in the top-left.
- on a similar note, if you update the size in the top-left, it doesn't change the size of the view editor box.
- if you choose to style the basic view and generate the xml, it still shows all the metadata stuff in the xml. Maybe if you have "Basic" selected, it will only let you add help, logo, logoText and gamelist.
I haven't had much of a chance to play with it, but it looks promising.

Ok!
I will try to work out these issues in the near future) -
The help panel is displayed at the very bottom of the workspace. She just does not appear there?
-
Fixed issue with position and size updates in the object properties window.

Aww geez, I can be an idiot at times. When it opens the view editor, it opens it windowed, and I just assumed that it opened it at the proper size. I full-screened the window and there was the help box at the bottom of the grey section.
So yeah, turns out the help box did work for me after all. Sorry about that.
It still crashes for me occasionally, but now instead of crashing when I try to view the xml, it now just crashes randomly.

If Windows displays some error message or the program writes something into the logs at this point, the screenshots or the text of the error could help in resolving the problems that arise. Not all bugs are fixed in the program.
I posted it here to see if I should spend time on it or not. -

Hola!!
Me gustaría preguntarte como hiciste para sacar las posiciones de los componentes en el form.
No me sale que sean desde 0 hasta 1 los X e Y
y todas las medidas que llevan los componentes.
Podrías ayudarme a hacerlo en un Form como en tu programa?
Gracias! -

Hello!
I posted the source code, so you can easily dig into it and there is a solution to your question.
ES Theme Editor on GitHUB -
@chiribas10 Very good this app, it would be much better if you post a video tutorial of how to use it I installed here more nor do I know which way it goes... :D
-
@arnaldchaves At the moment there is no time to engage in this project. Maybe I'll come back to him and bring him to mind. It was a shame that for such a powerful and common program like Emulationstation there is no theme editor and that's why I decided to fill the gap.
-
@chiribas10 is it supposed to run through VS? There's no exe so I cannot start it unless I start the solution in VS.
