Proposed change to enable binary file patching: Addition of the %pb directive to main.themescript in the format: %pb -original.bin -patched.bin -/path/to/file ThemeChanger will open /path/to/file, search for the contents of "original.bin" and replace them with "patched.bin". This means that hopefully the actual code of the binary should not be touched, only the constant graphical data which we want to modify. This should be safer. I would ask for thoughts, but I've already discussed this with those of you who will read this that are likely to care :-) -- Finlay |
