I havent had much time to work on this lately so heres beta 2.i first thought that this would be simple for all the work was done by zinga but there was alot more work involved to making a simple gui lol



i changed the way to add nodes and think it works pretty well



the xmledit still needs work but is coming along i think



that's about it for now so please let me know what you think and of course report any problems.

Thanks for your time

looks amazing!

i am not making nay theme's now but i could give some ideees ;)

-would be nice to have a xml editor,. its most likely people want to add new lines for: images, objects or animation's mebbe in a advanced setting,. with a pop-up editor window,..
-i dunno whot images are suported but i have always had the best results adding 8bit BMP images with rcoedit114 or rcoedit115,.

My workfow was
- first to add new images with rcomage in the xml
- then compile to the rco
- then load the rco in rcoedit and add the new images as 8bit BMP's or some 32bit BMP's
- then re dump with rcomage
- and then edit all the object's and animation's
- compile the final rco,..

;p

i had nvr got around working with png's,.. also i think bmp's got best quality
I also sometimes used rcoedit115 to adjust/tweak objects or animations i made/added with rcomage

If this interface/tool got xml support it would be allround ;p

this already looks very sleak

Very interesting project.  I look forward to future updates.  

Maybe you could add a feature that shows a mock xmb, and helps you place your pics to the coordinates you want.  (sorta like the one that patpat did, but more automated?)

Thanks highboy!

Looks awesome highboy!
Some additional personal suggestions:

• For page/anim, they're somewhat hierachical, with the first level being the main thing (eg animation sequence, with animation events within, or a "page" with various objects within)
  
• I think an add/delete button could be really useful
  

Thanks again for putting in the effort for all this :)

thanks alot guys appreciate the comments as i said i know nothing on the theme side so it really helps.i already started with the xml editor and wanted to sort something out with the page and animation tabs instead of looking at a long list maybe breaking it up somehow.

very good guy thanks again
