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.
