This was the issue, for the next update you should include text in that area that displays an error when it is red such as "Double-Click here to find .INI"
--- TC Color Preset 1.2 Released ---
I've updated the information on my first post to include the new link.
Apart from the "Large Font Bug" and the added backup on the first run, there's really nothing new to this version compared to the previous beta.
The included preset file now contains 26 presets.
Enjoy
Of all the planets I've been to, this one is my favorite.
Aezay, this is a great tool! I have small problem though. When I use the iniPath=%USERPROFILE%/WinCmd.ini line of the Presets.ini file, the program cannot locate the WinCmd.ini file and it opens a browse dialog to locate it. Am I doing something wrong, or variables are not allowed?

No, environment variables are not allowed. Why don't you just browse to the path of your WinCmd.ini, and that path is remembered the next time you start the program.

Aezay, thanks for replying. Pointing to the right WinCmd.ini file only for the first execution of the program is just fine. The only thing, I believe, is a weekness is that in my PC each user has a different WinCmd.ini stored under %USEPROFILE% and therefore another user's WinCmd.ini might be used.
In any case there are quite a few of solutions to avoid using the wrong ini file. Thanks again for this great tool.

instead of
iniPath=%USERPROFILE%/WinCmd.ini
Also make sure that the directory is accessible when TC starts, e.g. when it is on a network drive. You may need to call "net use" first.
Unfortunatelly, this didn't work either. The program still requires to use an absolute filename in the iniPath variable. What I would suggest to Aezay, though, it would be to get its value from the appropriate HKCU registry value. Either way, it's a great tool, for a great program.

I'm just gonna throw the string through the ExpandEnvironmentStrings API function, this should make it work
Look back here when I release the next version.

I was scanning the forum for colour-changing references so that I could establish a night-time 'black' theme - dark, at least - and found this thread.
Unfortunately, all links to alternative plug-ins or ini settings have disappeared.
Only 14 years, and they've gone..
