Registry and settings
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2004 1:21 am
Heres the summary of my idea...
the registry contains settings for everything, and everything that we generally want the user to change has to be in an applet of some sort..
My understanding of XML is that its sorta layered so that if we make the registry in it we could have at the top of each key the actual data / name..
and then in some other layer have whether it will be in a applet or not...
and how to let the user change the value and what text to appear with it
WHY?!?! Im thinking this would extremely simplify coding the control panel and every other config thing in ReactOS, It could simply autogenerate it based on the data in the registry!
yea...so this is based on my understanding of a lot of different things.
