Is the latest version of AIR required for FDT Theme Designer to work?

I thought I would leave my first comment but 
I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading.

Very
interesting article you have got here. I love reading this kind of
stuff. This is truly a great read for me. I hope to see more articles
from you.

This is my first visit to your site. Today I have got a new site. I am really happy to be here. I am stay tuned here for your next blog...

John could You please upload your color scheme used for example in Signals tutorial? Its very nice and i would like to use it.

Thanks. I found quite a few bugs; the most simple of which is that when you select a black background the how-to text at the top doesn't change colour and becomes unreadable.

Still, it's a great work in progress. I don't suppose you've considered open-sourcing it? ;-)

Yeah, I'm going to post it to github this week. I've just lost any sort of time to develop it any more. Then you'll see how much of an experiment/proof-of-concept it is :)

This doesn't work for me. I installed it and the progress bar went to 50% and hangs. If I quit the app and try to run again, I just get a blank white screen. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and same deal.

Will you post the code on github?

Great app. Trying it out now. Any chance you could post the colors for the theme you use in your tutorial videos? I really like it.
Great job on the videos too by the way :)

I too would like to try out your theme, John!

System: Mac Dual G5 2.6 OSX 10.5.8, Eclipse Galileo 3.5.2, FDT 3.5
Import successful for the most part however, the following colors aren't mapped correctly (looks good in AIR, completely different color in FDT):
-instance variables (field names) are blue when i set them to off white
-method parameters when they are of type Class are dark green instead of orange
-all class types, superclass names and interfaces for that matter are all that same wrong color (dark green instead of the orange i set them to).

Hi John,

Nice work. This app is so useful. Especially when you add the import/export feature in the future.

[bug] There's a bug when you set a colour for an item and try to set the next item as the same colour. It just won't accept the colour.

At the moment it feels like I have to press what I want to change, drag the mouse into the colour chooser, and then release before I can click on the colour I want. To me it would be better if you could click what you wanted to change, it showed the colour options, and then you click again to choose.

The performance is taking quite a hit when moving the mouse over the different colours. Looks like it's because the colours are updating in the window. Could that be turned off (perhaps optional)?

Importing to FDT was fine.
I'm on Vista 32bit, FDT 3.5 (not standalone).

Looking forward to the updates.

Thanks Sean. Nice catch on the "same color" bug. I'll fix it this week.

You're right about the mouse behavior. I think I was a initially trying for a smooth mousedown, drag to test colors, then mouse up to select color. I'll probably switch it to a "click on text, then click on color" for the next release as it's just simpler.

I have a few options for tweaking the performance. I just wanted to get the 0.1 version out there so people could try it out.

Thanks John. I now see the application window but it gets stuck at 50% on the loader bar and never initializes.

Again, same problem here with the 50% loading issue.

The app is bundled with a text file it has to load. It sounds like your system is not allowing the file to load. I'll look into if there's something I can do on my end like embedding it in the source.

Cool thanks John. I've just tested it on my secondary iMac and it loads correctly (OSX 10.6.2). It's my primary Macbook which has the 50% load error (also OSX 10.6.2). Unsure as to the case as the permissions on the text file appear to be read and write when I view package contents.

Can you check if you have the latest version of AIR on both machines?

I'd love to help test this however I cant figure out how to start. Should this work on a mac? I installed the AIR app successfully without any errors however once opened i have no application window to begin theme building. Within the file menu all options are greyed out. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tim

Same for me, no application window for me either on Mac.

Ok, I updated the AIR file to <visible>true</visible>. Hopefully that should fix it on a Mac. Please try again, thanks.
