DetailsHere is a patch to change all the Wizards in rbutil into normal Windows.
It has a few issues, (like very bad looking Images in Linux). a win binary for testing is at: www.b23.org/~domonoky/rbutil.zip

This task depends upon
also, there is no exit button except the file menu?
Also the DAP type doesn't seem to be right when a window is first displayed. For me it showed gigabeatf but I still had to manually select the right menu entry.
- The Images are now in a selfmade control, so should look good on all platforms.
- All functionality should work again
- made more own Control for better Code-reuse.
as always: a win binary for testing:
www.b23.org/~domonoky/rbutil.zip
attached is the new Patch:
Needs testing on linux.
1) Why not have a "select device" option on the opening (main) screen. This will allow users to choose their device once, and then the pop-up windows can be customised for those devices - e.g. not displaying a mount point and original firmware location for iPod bootloader installs - having unneeded boxes will just confuse users.
2) Regarding ipods, these can be auto-detected with the ipodpatcher code - so the user just needs to select "ipod", rather than their specific model.
3) The UI allows me to choose a 2.5 release for targets which don't have 2.5 versions.
4) The main opening screen now seems far too cluttered. What about changing to a tabbed layout, with perhaps tabs for "Installation" (the current first two options), "Themes" (fonts and themes) and "Uninstallation" (the current last two options).
- Theme installing now also works on Linux (but the window doesnt look nice, it doesnt resize it self)
- Tabs for less cluttering in the main screen.
- Device seleting is now in the main screen.
- about autodetecting ipods, this should work via die autodetect button, and will be extended to other Players in the future.
comments welcome :-)
-fixed autodetection
-fixed strange looking mainwindow in win32
only known big problem: theme dialog doesnt resize properly
If someone has an idea for another Layout for this Dialog, so that the controls which change in Size, affects the layout less, please tell me :-)
