Custom File Extensions Are Awesome.

Post by hobogunner »

I finally broke down and made ".loli" a generic picture file extension for my computer.

Any other good ideas?

Not sure if it works, but ".con" for themes? If a "loli.con" is loli-themed. If you are a Shana fan, you can use a "Shana.con" for Shana themes?

:o Shadow.......you're my hero....holy crap. :mrgreen:

Now I just need to figure out what the theme extensions are and I'll do that instantly. :lol:

Edit: Okay, so I did it....however, once you change it to ".con" from ".theme" Windows will no longer recognize it when you open up display options, however, if you build a display and change it to .con in explorer, it will still be applied as a theme, and windows will simply tell you "X is not longer a valid theme" but it will remain.

Still, freaking awesome / hilarious. Now I need to make themes for everything... :lol:

So, with the ".con" extension, does that mean we will eventually see a "sis.con" and "bro.con" as well? :P

Yes, well, if hobo does get the ".con" extension up. Furthermore, think about it, we can label it our B-T extension, creating some LN-based themes for others to use?

:lol:

You guys actually want me to upload some of this stuff? Half of it would be an experiment though, I know I can transfer file types, but no idea about actually sending a ".con" theme and it working.

Especially since I'm on XP.

Edit: the d/l link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7fx0lsr26cpl6kt

The password is either hobo or hobogunner one of those two. I can send you directions to do it yourself if you don't want to just add some random something to your registry, which I can understand.

From there, if you go to your "Display" properties, and hit the "Save As..." for themes, save it, and edit it to "w/e.con" in explorer. From there, only your computer will recognize it (or one with the '.con' patch.)
