  ' GetUIModifications() gets the XML file with the specified modifications of

  ' the UI from the config.xml file in the plug-in folder

  Dim strPath As String

   strPath = App.Path

   

  If Len(strPath) > 0 Then

      Dim fso As New FileSystemObject

      Dim file As file

       

      Set file = fso.GetFile(strPath & "\config.xml")

       

      If (Not (file Is Nothing)) Then

          Dim stream As TextStream

          Set stream = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading)

           

          ' this replaces the token '**path**' from the XML file with

          ' the actual installation path of the plug-in to get the image file

          Dim strMods As String

           strMods = stream.ReadAll

           strMods = Replace(strMods, "**path**", strPath)
