The GUI customization created during this tutorial tutorial7.xxe_gui
is used here as an example:
Rename tutorial7.xxe_gui
to customize.xxe_gui
.
Using this name if mandatory if you want XXE to dynamically discover your GUI customization during its start-up.
Copy directory
and all its content (which now includes XXE_install_dir
/doc/gui/tutorial/customize.xxe_gui
) to directory
.XXE_user_preferences_dir
/addon/
XXE user preferences directory is:
on Linux.$HOME
/.xxe5/
on the Mac.$HOME
/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor5/
on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.%APPDATA%
\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\
on Windows XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\
on Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
If you cannot see the "Application Data
" directory using Microsoft Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and Folders>Show hidden files and folders.
Restart XXE as you usually do it.
Here what happens when XXE is started:
The editor collects all files called customize.xxe_gui
found in either of its two addon/
directories.
It merges their contents with its base GUI specification. The base GUI specification is by default[4] xxe-gui:app/Professional.xxe_gui
, which is a resource contained in xxe.jar
It creates its GUI according to this combined specification.
