Editing dc++

kevwhiteley · Post by **kevwhiteley** » 2006-01-19 17:16

I have d/loaded dc++ 0.68 and i am wanting to change things, like the name of it for example, the wording, and i want to change the look of the console, i do not have a clue how to do it, do i need some software?

I am wanting to edit the program to have the same look and feel as the [WH] theme (balck white and orange) as my website is this colour, can anyone help at all, just editing the console will be good, i can teach myself from there.

Cheers :?:

First of all you have to have access to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (With C++ support) which is a Integrated Development Environment.

Then you need the sourcecode (available from CVS).

To understand what's going on in the code you also need some knowledge about Windows-specific C++ code (www.codeproject.com is a good source of info)

Is it possable for you to be able to do this for me? or is that out of the question, the following is what i want doing really

Want doing:-

Name changing to [WH]dc++ wherever it says dc++
Colour theme changing to black,orange and minimum white
Segment downloading

Other stuff (not wanted but would be nice)

Where the [wh]DC++ text is at the top of the console text saying designed for whiteleys hubs by - Your name here (Or whoever can do it)

Segment d/loading

That would be all really, is this a easy job and would i be able to do it with no experience in c++ ??

The bonus is that Visual C++ Toolkit is free, but I'm not sure you'll be able to use it to compile DC++ without a bit of ingenuity.

CVS is a tool for keeping track of versions of software. Unless you know what you're doing, you don't need (or want) to deal with the source code in CVS - it hasn't been released and often has known bugs.

Ok thank you all very much for your help, i will try find someone who knows what they are doing to do what i want, all i am after is a few things changing in the current dc++

Things are as follows:-

Segment downloading is a bit more than "a few things". Why don't you use the source code of a client that already has that, it should make it a lot simpler for you.

I am not too bothered about segment downloading to be totally honest with you

Ah, you just want ugly colours and deceptive naming with the effect of having made another pointless mod? That's.. sad =)
