I'm working on a DBC version for the STYX Plugin and would need 4 or 5 beta testers helping me to squeeze the bugs out of it.

In order to use this plugin you will need DBC enhanced, and basic knowledge of how to use DLLs in DBC. If you're interested, please drop me a mail at styxplugin@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Standard windows dialogs like open/save file and colour dialogs (with custom colours), as well as several (customisable) message dialogs.

Yes. It's a bit tricky for DBC but I hope I'll get it to work.

True, I should have worded it differently.
This will allow you to access ANY section in the registry (at least to read it, I'm not sure if I'll allow writing too). It's not yet implemented in STYX for Pro either.
