Version 0.4.3.0 Released! Overlay theming introduced!

Hey everyone!

Chronos has been updated and now supports overlay themes!

You can create themes by editing a .chronosoverlay file. These files can be found in your ChronosServer or ChronosClient folder under OverlayThemes. Simply copy the default theme (1.chronosoverlay) to your desktop (don't make a copy in the same folder) and then edit it as you like! Next, head to the basic settings page of Chronos and add your new theme!

When you first start Chronos, your current overlay settings are preserved.

However, activating a theme (whether or not it is already active) will inherit the theme colors. You may put your own colors on top after that point by changing the usual overlay settings, but remember that activating a theme again will use the colors from that theme again.

So basically, load a theme up and change the colors how you want :).

I've started the ball rolling with a "compact" theme available on the downloads page. Be sure to let me know if you guys come up with any interesting themes!

By the way, if you need to change the colors of the timer progress bars in any custom themes you might create, you'll need to set Overwrite Windows Style to [True]. If you've loaded Chronos with the default green Windows progress bars and you've tried to change their color, try applying your theme and restarting Chronos to make it show up correctly.


Thanks!

0.4.2.0 Released

Just a few updates today!

Chronos now saves the text in your logbox to dated logfiles in either your ChronosServer or ChronosClient folder. I will probably be adding in extra "detail" output information to these logfiles later.

I've also added in a bunch more "Chronos tags" that you can use in your HTML code to display extra data on your web report page (sample), along with the option to automatically update this page whenever you start or stop your server or close Chronos.

Thanks!

Chronos 0.4.0 Released!

Hey everyone!

Chronos 0.4.0 has been released, which includes an updater! I've ironed out a few bugs, including a bug which prevented personal events having timers longer than 100 seconds (thanks to Anonymous for the report).
The file structure of Chronos has also been significantly changed, so this means that you can not simply update your executable with this version. Don't worry, I don't expect to make file structure changes ever again. Hopefully, for the first and last time, here are the steps on how to update and keep your current data:

1) Go to your current Chronos directory.
2) Back up your entire Chronos directory to a different location.
3) Download a fresh install of Chronos from the Downloads page (the full RAR)
4) Extract the files back to your original Chronos directory, or to wherever you like
5) Run the fresh install of Chronos and then close it
6) Go to your backup of Chronos and copy all of your .chronos files
7) Go back to your fresh install of Chronos and paste all of your .chronos files into the ChronosServer or ChronosClient folder (depending on your version)
8) Open Chronos, go to your update settings on the Basic Settings page and change your update URL to http://chronostimers.info/Chronos/

That should be it!

If you're wondering, the Icons folder can now be found in the ChronosData folder.

New users of Chronos can simply download the full installation and follow the instructions on the Downloads page as normal.

As always, please report any bugs with the updater or Chronos itself either by commenting on the blog or Emailing chronosdevelopment@gmail.com!

Thanks,

Larks.
