Dazed and Confused with new GForce GUI

[Roy C]

Thanks for the reply Jerohm but I definitely didn't understand your previous instructions. Maybe our exchange in this thread will prompt them to restore the save theme function back to the control panel. At least I have one theme that I like.

Hello jerohm

As Andy has promised to re-introduce the save theme feature in the G-Force toolbar would this mean you're above info would not be required?

MY thought process is based on the GUI as it stands today... and if it is going to remain, which I have no reason to believe that it isn't, is still valid and necessary.

ON THE OTHER HAND, if there ever was a good reason for a remote control application, GF would be IT. I doubt if GF could ever (near term anyway) be ported to Android(/Iphone/Ipad) platform ... just not enough CPU horsepower. However a wifi remote control application would be completely plausible... and IMO, desirable. I would much rather make theme configuration modifications sitting on my couch, than screwing around on the active display.

I originally thought that the whole GUI idea was done to discourage private licensed versions, from being used for commercial purposes... I don't really understand how the GUI would ever be acceptable in a [scripted] commercial environment.

The GUI data structure paradigm is coherent and consistent, but in actual use, less than optimal.

FYI: I (think I) understand the data file structure well enough, that I edit them by hand, and don't even bother trying to configure themes using the GUI. I DO WISH that the debug log could be timestamped and written to a disk file
