The more I use htmlexe, the more I like it!
I have some quick questions (actually, maybe some of them are not so quick). If you’ve already replied to these qustions, just ignore them:
I have some quick questions (actually, maybe some of them are not so quick). If you’ve already replied to these qustions, just ignore them:
- Can you use transparent pngs (or gifs) in the intro splash? Why
is this important? Well, I think transparency can give a more
professional look to some books. Here’s a quick sample. I’m not
saying one is better than the other, it just gives more flexibility:
Without transparency:
With transparency:
- Can you add animated gifs or animations to the splash screen? (similar reasons, it can make a book intro a lot more interesting).
- In the application settings -> table of contents section, what is the expanded tickbox for? (perhaps to show expanded by default when the book is opened?)
- Fonts: What happens if I want to use a font that the user doesn’t have? how do I make sure that he can see the content the way I intended to? (I’m going to be using a free google-font)
- Is it possible to add some kind of new version checker to the book? (so that the user can find out quickly if a new version is out).
- Would file attachments be compiled or would they need to be extracted when a user installs the book? For example, say I have some files which the reader must open with another program, but I still would like the reader to be able to download them rather than install them directly.
- Is there any javascript which probably wouldn’t work with htmlexe or can we assume that if the javascript works with IE, it’ll work with htmlexe also?
- I’ve noticed that I can change the icons in the content menu. Can the style of the content menu (on the left) be changed? (background color/image, text, etc.)
- Will files using css3 be seen in the viewer? html5? (or does it depend on whether he hast the latest version of I.E., etc.).
