TSBrander Instructions:
Ok in order to use the TSBrander app to
customize the sampler app, or any app you can create with
TSB Express, you must first install the brander.
Once the brander is installed, double click on
the icon and open it up. Give it a minute to load.
When it loads up, at the top of the screen, you
will see an icon that says 'Import Layout'
Go ahead and click on that to open up the
dialogue box to find the layout wherever you unzipped it to.
'sampler.tly'
Once you have the layout imported, you will
see a new entry in the list, this is where all you layouts
will be. TSB Express has a similar layout but with the
added functionality of being able to create new software
objects, and new software projects.
Now you double click on the entry, in this
case TSB Express Sample, and it will bring up a new screen
where you can see the software objects included in the
layout.
On this screen, you can change the Software
title, skin (many skins included), version, icon, splash
screen.
On the installation tab (seen above) you
can change your company name, contact info, help url,
update url, password, and any other field you like,
including the installation password, and whether or not to
create a desktop icon and quick launch icon on install.
This is also where you select your build mode, where you
can choose to output a compressed exe as shown or in a
directory to be included on an installation cd.
This is the trial tab, where you can set
the activation serial and how many uses before the serial
is needed.
Now, after you complete those steps, at the
top you will see a Miscellaneous Tab, click there, and you
will see the Run Software Icon. This is where you will run
the software before you create the .exe, so you can
customize it.
 
Ok so now you run software and it brings up
the actual app being created or Branded. The first thing
you will see is a box asking for the activation number,
just go ahead and click 'Run Trial'. I included that so you
can see how you can have as many trial uses as needed
before the software will stop working without a serial
number. Once the software loads, you will see this
screen:
Now click once on 'TSB Express Sampler'
icon and at the top click 'New'
Now you can see all the customizable fields
of the actual app, including the extra tabs and the
browsers in them. I included a couple of browsers in the
app, theses can be on a page by themselves, or on a page
with other fields.
Heres a partial screenshot:
Now to customize the layout, just right
click in between fields on the app and select
'Customize Layout'
Now you will be able to drag and drop the
fields wherever you want to put them, make new tabs and
move fields there, and your imagination is the only limit
here.
Once you purchase TSB Express, you will be
able to view some videos to help you get started, and
theres a Nice Manual that Thomas created that includes all
the editors and functionality.
