Can we get a : how to Tutorial ?

Hello Gentlemen !

As a Touchbuddy-Programming-Noob i asked myself if i am the only one here, who wishes a detailed HOW TO Tutorial for TB programming.
I opened the Touhbuddy toolkit a few times.. but its more than just a little bit confusing to me.

Wondering if all of the Forum members are Programmming experts who had no difficulties with this Tool.

Indeed there are so nice Profiles in the downloads section.
But still i would like to edit the positions of the buttons or even the size of the buttons ... take some buttons away and so on...

So my question, is anyone willing to write an easy but still detailed Tutorial please ?
As english is not my mother language i would like to ask to use regular easy to understand phrases.

Thank you very much !

best regards,

I`ll see what I can do, but it might take a while. WBK is back at the end of next week, so he may well beat me to it.

I am planning on doing a lot of documentation and FAQs while I am away on holiday (start of September for 12 days).

To answer quickly the questions you ask:

To delete a button - click once on it in the TBtk, and press the big red X at the top of the window, then save the profile. The button no longer exists in the profile.

To move the position of a button - click and drag the button to where you want it in TBTk. Save the profile, and the new position will be saved.

or, to move the button from one tab to another - double click the button, select the "TabName" drop down option under the Button Editor" text, select the tab you want it to appear on, click on OK, when asked if you want to save button changes, click on "yes". Save the profile. The button will now appear on the new tab.

To change the size of the buttons - The button are created from loading the images, so to change the size of the button, you need to resize the image that is loaded for that button. You will have to do this in an external paint program.
