I am interested to know how other users approach the question of making Themes from user settings in Fast Dial.

---

It seems to me that it is useful to have a way of retaining all one's user appearance settings (besides background) so that one can make a new theme easily without having to re-enter one's own settings each time in None, which has default settings.

So what I have done is to set up all my personal settings in Default (without setting a background) and then save those settings as a theme called Template.

Have posted as Tutorial, but now post as a Blog so everyone knows about this

This is the Tutorial

Save/Restore ones appearance settings in Fast Dial 2.15 beta 13

______________________________________________________________

After many questions and much head banging it appears now that in this new Version of Fast Dial on can very easily save ones Custom Appearance Settings as a file.

And then later reload and use as a Theme in Preferences..

It could I think be argued that Fast Dial Version 2.15-6 (NOT 2.15 beta 6) is a superior Version of Fast Dial to 2.15 beta 5 or 7 or 8.

It pre-dates Fast Dial 2.15 beta 5 in spite of it's number.

This Version if you want was a direct developement from Fast Dial 2.14 with bugs being resolved and lots of detailed improvements being made in Preferences

So it was a work-in-progess Version being developed by telega, mafi0z, and myself

This is the original Bug Report.

***************************************************

At last the nature of the Java Scaling problem in FD 2.14 has become apparent.

It would seem that in Fast Dial 2.14, Java scaling does not work on the latest Java JRE Version 6u10

telega confirms however that Version 6u3 works fine.
So
6u3 works fine
I can also confirm that
6u7 works fine ( this is the previous Version to 6u10 )

A new edit module has been installed in Userlogos.

I find it a disaster.

I have noticed that if use the HTML button I can include pictures and can see the text that I input , but all options to help to make links, embolden, italicise etc are lost

This site has changed hosts. This is the old host. We're having problems with our DNS and hope to get it resolved soon. Until then, you can use the old host all you like, just don't bother posting comments or styles, because they won't make it to the new host. You'll know you're on the new host when you no longer see this ugly message :)

The above message has been visible recently on Userstyles.org.

If you go to userstyles.org right now you get this.

Not as Stylish as it used to be.

Does anyone happen to know where it has gone ?

OK so it is the middle of the night.

Not many people around on Userlogos.
And then you look at the number of people on line and you think well that's a few more people than usual.

And well yes, I guessed....

I came across this post of Blake Ross here

And I thought to myself, yes, that is why I like Fast Dial

You almost forget it's there.....
