Balance Board Tools is a handy application that allows you to quickly weigh yourself and determine your center of gravity using the Wii Balance Board.

It is a fun and easy-to-use tool for those who want to track their weight and balance.

User guide

Skins

The program's appearance can be customized by editing the PNG files in the "images" folder.

Note that the PNG files must be a multiple of 4 in width and height and have 24 or 32-bit color (if using an alpha channel).

Exercises

You can customize the appearance of the exercises by creating transparent or non-transparent PNG files (640x460 in size).

This allows you to create unique and fun exercises, such as a circle for hoola-hooping.

Controls

Known Issues

The program doesn't load the images - Make sure all the data is in SD:/apps/balancetools/images/.

The Program crashes when I try to make skins - Make sure the png files are sized in a multiple of 4 (i.e 24x44=GOOD, 25x55=BAD) and a depth of 24BIT or greater.
