Irrelevant is my relevant …

Hi, Well I have finally got round to finishing enough of this application to give you a version. Unfortunately all the features I wanted to release are not there but its close enough. Future versions will incorporate these.

This application is basically a sound board with the ability to add user created content.

As before, requires .Net 3.5 CF.

The sample sound themes included in the application are a little weak and could do with some extra ones being created. Post your creations in the thread please

There are two types of themes available, a button theme and an image theme.

The button theme uses positionable windows image buttons to play the sounds.

The image theme uses an image to play the sounds. So for example you would have 2 images one for the background on the application for the user to see and one for the application to use. The overlay image will contain a single block of colour where you want to place a button, this colour is then indexed in the themes XML file. So when you press down on the background the colours are matched and the matching sound played.

The best way to get to grips with the themes is to look at two of the themes I have provided. The XML files are fully commented and quite simple to understand.

Example of ButtonTheme, \content\Roy Walker\RoyWalker.xml
Example of Imagetheme, \content\Mr T\MRT.xml

I am sure there will be bugs, but I wanted to get a release out as soon as possible to get some user created content. Please post any creations on this thread and I will include them in the .cab file with the next version.

Any feedback or suggestions please post on this thread also.

Future features:
Volume Control
More audio support, e.g. mp3 etc
Options to save last theme and other stuff
visual feedback on an Imagetheme button press, perhaps a greying of an area (Simple but havent had the time)

Any way have fun!!
