there's already a binary on the site but looking at the source, i want to change one line of code to suit my needs. how easy/hard would it be for me to do this? this is speaking as somebody who has never programmed in his life. can i download these files, install some freebie software and compile it?

It appears to be C#. If you download Visual C# Express from Microsoft, you can edit the code and then build it at the end. Which line of code do you want to edit?

line 57:

Code:

if (nodeList.Item(i).Attributes != null && nodeList.Item(i).Attributes["name"].Value == "original")

i just want to change "original" to "extralarge".

i'll have a bash myself and see how i get on...

well bugger me. i got it to work. i had an error about some signing manifest thing. first result on google fixed it and job done.

thanks for telling me what version i had to download. that certainly saved some time.

No problem

I actually just did a similar thing on Monday. Had to edit a client-side component for FOG and that was C# too, so I just used VC# to do it. Congratulations on getting it to work
