Sorry for long time without response by me ._.
In my sommer holidays i lost a lot of my work - because my laptop crashed.
The last version is this on git hub.
Currently i´m in planing phase - a better concept is required because ruby is so slow.
I´m working on, but have to do a lot privat for highschool planned in march.
Sorry and greeting, Kagu-chan.
New ideas - New technicThe third technic at this time, i know.
But i remarked that Ruby is simply to slow for this type of application.
The last few weeks i testet a lot and now i will try out a new way.
It will be a Visual Basic application again.
This application download the current API version from a web server. Graphics will be drawn with HTML / CSS.
The layout will be the same - but new functions will be available:
Because the api is stored on a server, the software always runs with the newest version. If there are required local files, it could be simply downloaded at runtime.
Visual Basic could simply interact with the servers - so it will give a login (optionally) to store some settings global for you (you can work on more computers with same settings without transporting more than the small app). Also you can share your skins directly with the app or look for other skins from other users.
A support system will be integratet - With the application you can report bugs or take future requests - Notifications about this will be shown at startup for you (if you are an user) and some other peoples (if you want to see future requests they will be shown in the application).
Change log entries will be shown one time at startup if you´re registrated.
The app could be runned offline, shure. But one time it has to be runned with internet to catch the latest API files.
You could download the louncher here:

At best the application has a own directiory.
