I've posted version 1.0.6, which has a handful of fixes. Highly recommended. Please let me know how this works for you :hello:

Hi, WildBill

The Japanese Language Package has any problems.
Japanese application must don't use ANSI_CHARSET but SHIFTJIS_CHARSET.
and not MS Sun Serif but MS UI Gothic.

And frmConfigureStandard doesn't apply Japanese.

I translated to Japanese here

I can't compile This Project, cause I don't have huge.hdc and windowmanagement.hdc.

Sorry about that. I just posted 1.0.7, which should help.

Hi Wild Bill

But same Problem occured.
I forced to create the sample Localize file Here.
(This file can't link ConfigureOverrideStandardFormUnit resource.)

I can't create it with Delphi 6 Personal Edition completely :(

Okay, let's try again. Version 1.0.8 is up. I've regenerated the localization files and improved the app a little more.

Hello Wildbill,

First I must say that your skinning engine is getting much better.
There are still problems with maximized windows. The Close/minimize/maximize buttons are missing.
If I deactivate skinning of window captions and try to maximize window, only a part of the window is shown.

What if you try installing Delphi Localizer (it requires installing MSXML 4.0). Would that let you rebuild the localizer files?

I haven't seen a problem with missing buttons. Can you post a screenshot so I can try to reproduce it?

Found it. I used emergedesktop as shell. With explorer as shell the window buttons and programicon is shown with maximized windows.
But with explorer as shell there is always cpu at 100%, although i deactivated all other programs incl antivirus!
Perhaps it is because of my old computer (Pentium III, 512mb and IBM grafics onboard with Windows 2000) :(
I thought I could replace truetransparency with smoothtext to skin also buttons etc.
Screenshot: Emergedesktop with Rainmeter/Rainlendar/Truetransparency,GDI++,Antivir (gives a processor load of about 30%)

Hi WildBill.

Delphi Localizer can't changed font families and character types.
and not effected in ConfigureOverrideStandardFormUnit.

I think you only make executable file with Japanese dfm and Comment out Main routine.
and rename SmoothText.JPN and SmoothTextConfig.JPN.

I made a small change to how it handles the localizer and reposted it (updated download link above). Would you mind giving it a try? I think the problem was that it was applying the translation before it had created all forms.

Hi WildBill.

ConfigureOverrideStandardFormUnit is partically applied Japanese. :)

I translated on #444
But Charset problem remains.

Okay, let's try this. I had added a little bit of code to 1.0.5 that affected charsets. I just re-uploaded it with that little bit of code removed.
