Hi,
i've noticed a small bug :

When there is a frame inside another frame, the frame inside can't be selected to be moved or resized. The outside frame must be deleted to make the inside frame selectable again...

Instead of deleting, you can select the frame using the List of Controls or via the Combobox
It becomes the last one in the internal z-order and thus the first one to be selected then.

I changed it a bit. The frame inside can now be selected to be moved or resized, if it is completely inside and whatever the number of frames
It's better indeed, thanks for reporting

IceDesign_Demo_Beta3.exe

New option to choose between LoadImage and CatchImage in Settings, so it is for all images.
Resize Image to the ImageGadget size, if it is larger. In the display and in the generated code.
Font size of ToolBar buttons enlarged for Desktop Width > 1366
Some optimizations..

I'll say it with Aretha Franklin: R E S P E C T!

Nice looks, slick, quick, and very intuitive. Just re-built the most complex screen from my best-selling application and it worked fine - no crashes or problems. The code generation needs a few more tweaks, but that was my only real issue. Statusbar & menu support would be nice, as these were the only things I could not implement.

IMHO, you are very close to what is called a good-enough first release. Do not make the mistake that has killed many projects like this: Holding off until feature-complete (this will be far in the future, maybe never?; people will always ask for more and you will burn out with not much to show for it).

Define your pricing model (possibly add a special price for early adopters) and then ping me - I'll want one!

Just noticed that you do support Statusbar & Menu! Great - even closer!

Wow, thanks kpeters58 for your nice comment, also, I love Aretha Franklin, an incredible voice, she just gives me goosebumps.
Thank you also Caronte3D

I just did few optimization, cleaning in the code since beta 3 but nothing more.
It seems to me complete enough too, as it is to be the 1st release.
I will see in future if there is really a need for additional functionality.

For now, I would have to create a website to be able to sell IceDesign
But I am currently on a job project with not much timeeeee
In addition, I don't know anything about web provider, WordPress or any other, paypal with download link in return...
Any suggestion is welcome
So for the moment, apart from possibly doing it manually via Donate to ChrisR's Win10XPE (from another project), it's on stand by due to lack of time.
I'll probably have more time in early September and Yes, for sure, there will be a special price for early adopters

Thank you for making me discover it, it fits my needs perfectly.
I will publish the final version there, next week, if I don't encounter any blocking bug until then.

I am a little afraid for future bugs with the commercial version and there will be (given the number of lines of code).
So thank you for your tests and feedback

i just tested your latest version Demo ,
your Align Left, Right , Up, Down Icon choices seem all wrong directions ???

Same Width , Same Height Icon choices are OK

Hello VB6_to_PBx,
I don't get it, can you tell me why you see the icons have the wrong directions ?
I took time to draw them and if I look at them again, they are in the right direction for me.

Here in the icon "Align Left" (not the one above in 48x48 but similar)
The blue control is the current selected one, the one with the handles that is used as a basis for the alignments, same width/height...
The other drawn in red, will be aligned to the left of the previous one, as the arrow shows it.

It may be because the icons are over a dark ribbon and you cant see the arrows.

So, for the align left icon you see a larger blue bar over a smaller red bar, which when shown with the other icons suggests 'Align Top', 'Align Bottom', 'Align Left' & 'Align Right' respectively.

captain_skank , thats almost the order i see them too ,
but i switched to a different Computer+Monitor , now i can barely see black arrow directions only when i hover over the Icons,
maybe a different background color for dark mode would help .... easier to see on all monitors.

turning off dark mode , you can easily see the arrows directions and correctly understand the icons

Ha, OK, thanks for the outside view to you 2, I'm too inside to see

I changed the color of the arrows and alignment bars to a green tone.
It should allow to have more contrast for the 2 dark and light themes.
