Just a program that makes laying out images a bit easier than manually changeing values in source and compiling to see if you got it right. You can move the images about using the arrow buttons on the control window or by draging them with the mouse.

You can currently save/load the data and export it to a text file. I will add .dba export when I figure out the best way to do it. Full source code (needs bluegui) is included so you can add your own export code if you want.

Hi the_winch,
must say this is great. On of those apps most people need at some stage but never get around to writing and this is really well put together.

The only problem I can see is that, as you can't pan around, you can't design a full screen the same size or larger than your current resolution (or if you can I haven't found that option yet).

Anyway very useful. Thanks.

I never thought of that, I use a laptop with a 1920x1200 display so didn't have a problem. I might be able to make it full screen and have the control window float inside it somehow.

I have just put in a full screen mode. The control window is replaced by a panel with all the gadgets on. Clicking the middle mouse button will position the panel at the mouse cursor.

You can control what mode the program starts in by editing the settngs.txt file. If there is no settings.txt file a msgbox will ask what mode you want. There are three options you can use in the settings.txt file.
ask

The panel will be stuck at the top left of the window

I will put in an alternative way to position the panel when I next work on the source.
