Create proper documentation and tutorials
Over the years the tool has gained a small user base and help requests keep coming in. It's not a lot, but I still think it is time for some documentation and tutorials to help new or infrequent users. This issue shall serve the purpose of tracking and organizing the progress.
I am aiming for a web based documentation, probably hosted used github pages or using the wiki functionality. For structure, I'd go with a location map kind of style. Each chapter shows a screenshot of an important object with all the known parts highlighted. I suppose a rough overview is enough for the intelligent user to find its way and figure out a solution to the specific problem.
Chapter | Subchapter | Status |
---|---|---|
Introduction | hardly any | |
Basic Concepts | Visual Styles | okay |
Common Controls | okay | |
Window Frames | basic | |
Explorer | basic | |
Desktop | todo |
When time allows, I'll add more information and examples how I imagine the documentation. To contribute, please
- create a comment here
- attach a screenshot of the object in question
- highlight and numerate its parts
- provide the "paths" in msstyleEditor like
Button > CHECKBOX > UNCHECKEDDISABLE > TEXTCOLOR
I'll collect and polish the provided snippets.
Update: Find the basics here: https://github.com/nptr/msstyleEditor/wiki/Introduction It's still very basic, but better then nothing.
