View source for BootMii Configuration Editor/FAQs

== How do I stop BootMii from showing on startup of the wii? ==
*Set the boot delay to '0' and the BootMii screen will not show when the Wii starts up.
== How can I change the interface language ==
* Press the 'HOME' button on the wiimote to open the settings dialog. The language is the first setting. Push left/right to change it and when you've found the language you require, move to the 3rd option on the screen (the one with an empty line above it). Press A on this, and the language will be changed.

== How do I Add a new Language or Skin ==
=== Creating a new translation ===
'''To add a new translation/language perform the following steps which use French(fr) as an example'''

*Open the BCE_MESSAGES.XML file in an editor
*Add a new language/code to the available langauges section near the top of the file
: (e.g. to add french add the following line:

 <language description="Francais" code="fr" /> 

: to the available section, for example:
 
 <available> 
   <language description="English" code="en" /> 
   <language description="Espanol" code="es" /> 
 '''  <language description="Francais" code="fr" />''' 
 </available>

*For every <entry, add in the french translation using an attribute named the same as the value specified in the code for the langauge (e.g. fr) for example
 <entry code="mm1" en="Video:" es="Modo de Video:" fr="Mode visuel:"/>

* Ensure the XML file validates and that you've added a language string for EVERY entry.

* Copy/Save to SD card and test. If the application errors with a stack dump, then there will be a problem in the XML, either it's invalid, or you've missed one of the entry elements usually


=== Creating a new Skin ===
*Open the BCE_SKINS.XML file in an editor
*Find the <skins element and within this, select and duplicate a skindetail

  <skindetail id="custom1" name="My Custom Skin"
  consolebgcolor="14" consoletextcolor="17" mainbgcolor="7"
  maintextcolor="0" maintextcolor2="10" maintitlecolor="11"
  maintitlelinecolor="0" mainselectedIndicatorcolor="11"
  mainselectedOptioncolor="15" mainshadow="0" maildecl="7" dialogbgcolor="10"
  dialogtextcolor="17" dialogtextcolor2="17" dialogtitlecolor="17"
  dialogtitlelinecolor="7" dialogselectedIndicatorcolor="11"
  dialogselectedOptioncolor="13" dialogshadow="0" dialogdecl="10" />
