Skins
Information on how to change and create skins for Consolable.

Requirements:

You must have the VB6 runtimes installed.

Commands:

For commands, queries, and how to use and customize them see commands.htm included in the zip file.

Using Consolable:

The only part of the app that is not controlled by commands is the system tray icon. Double-clicking the icon will minimize or restore the program. Right-clicking the icon will change from hide mode to normal mode or normal mode to hide mode. Hide mode makes the program take the shape of the hide picture and does not let you type commands. Normal mode is the mode that the program is in when it starts. For those of you that don't use a system tray, you can prevent the program from disappearing when minimized by using the "!systray off" command.

Also added as of version 0.16 is drag and drop support. Just drag any file from explorer onto the textbox of Consolable and it will start a new launch with that file in the path. As of version 0.18, you can hold shift to put the file name in the text area.

Skins:

For information on creating and changing skins please see skins.htm.

History:

For changes made for each version see history.htm found in the help directory.

Plans:

Batch plans have been scrapped. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Author's notes:
Consolable was originally written to replace geoCommand and it's lack of features. It sort of expanded from there and keeps getting better. New features will be added often so keep checking for updates. Bugs are not a major issue with this program but they will be fixed as soon as they are reported. Enjoy consolable!
