[LDCad] Addon

[Miguel Reizinho]

Those look AWESOME! Would it be possible to put this as tutorial on the wiki? Drop me a line if you have problems with setting up an account.

Obviously it would be best if LDCad would ship with the possibility to select those skins from within the prog with no need to do all those hacking ... don't listen to me just dreaming aloud ;-)

Thank you!  

There are really just two things that can be considered "hacking", even if it's only editing two text files ;-)

1. Editing the autorun.lua to change your LDCad path
2. Editing the autorun.ahk to change your starting X position of the new GUI

All the rest is just copying the files to the right place or folders as documented in LDCad tutorials. Themes to the "gui" folder and scripts to the "global" folder. 

After doing that the themes and titlebar macro become available through LDCad menus:
    

But back to the "hacking"...

For item 1., editing autorun.lua script, perhaps Roland can help. Hopefully there is a Path System Variable available that can be used instead of having to write it on the file for each user.

For item 2., about the X positioning of the new GUI, I'm already thinking of an updated version. The new version would add the new button in the menubar and check the screen resolution to display it ALIGNED TO THE RIGHT of the LDCad window. Once clicked, this button would be replaced by the window controls (min, max/restore, close). Because I just realized: having the restore button or the toggle titlebar button is redundant since they both will have the same effect if clicked.
