Making the Notes 8 mod tool
Friday, 16 March 2007 22:54:02 EET

Notes 8 offers yet never before seen possibilities for modding and customizing. I will start to make a simple tool in C++ to change things I have have found out so far (no, I don't read manuals, I read config files!), besides there are no manuals AFAIK for the things I need, at least no public ones.

The first version will probably include just very basic things like changing the IBM logo to your own company logo, changing unread mark colors (this is where Nathan got excited about the possibilites), changing texture bitmaps, icon bitmaps, laucher splash screen removal, and Beta 2 bug workarounds.

I won't promise anything yet what it will include, but I can promise there will be a tool, maybe even by monday. "Sounds easy", every programmer would probably say now, and I don't deny that at all. It is easy, but it just has to be done!
