QUOTE(sardonumspa @ Jan 18 2008, 21:41)  rinku, great plugin. anybody having problems with the home screen failing to redraw when this plugin is installed? i am using the updated one with the complete icon set, and when i choose the modified home screen, it locks up the home screen, and i have to pull the battery. i can still get into the start menu though, strange. once i went back to the unmodified plugin, all was well. i also don believe i had this problem with the old plugin, but i didn't keep it very loing since the new one came out so fast. I would say, perform a soft reset with the old plugin on, then follow the steps to update it, and then perform a soft reset again. The idea is to not have any other application interfering with any aspect of the plugin loading process. I tried to recreate your problem but could not do so. Let me know if that helped!! |

SmartToolKit modifies the Start menu to be similar to Windows Xp/Vista, and it also has a feature where it places a clock on the iconbar. That's what makes me think that it wouldn't work with your plugin. Here's a like to the page: http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/downloa...-1-00-rc07.html Anyways, how do I check to see if it disables home.exe? |

It seems the SmartToolkit includes its own homescreen plugins. That means there is an xml file specific to their homescreen interface which includes the plugin definitions. Changes must go into that file....replacing the entry for the iconbar with the one provided. I don't think home.exe is not disabled, but if you want to check then use a program like Celetask. |

the old bar in the start menu is supposed to be there b/c this only affects the home screen and try changing to the simple theme then back to neo and reboot.

Sorry guys to keep you waiting. I guess many of you are tired of seeing the black background on the iconbar...colors it has been, and colors it shall be!
 I have the update ready. You should now be able to change the background and any of the notification icons you want. I hope that shall give some room to the long standing artists amongst us. Instructions and download available here: http://shadowregistryhacks.blogspot.com/20...plugin-v20.html. Enjoy!! This post has been edited by RinkuD: Jan 31 2008, 04:49 |

Once everything was done, did you see the message box asking for confirmation to run the plugin? |

Until you say yes at the confirmation the plugin will not load and you shall get a white bar. If you used the cab installer then see if the following entry is there in the registry. In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B06A8DAB-E148-40d5-BE8F-3C494ABF3046}\InProcServer32 : Name: Default, Type: REG_SZ, Value: iconbarplugin.dll Also, make sure the xml file of your theme has the entry as specified. If yes, then switch to a theme that does not have the plugin. Reboot. Now load the theme that has the plugin. Go slow with the key press and wait for the confirmation box. |

Hi Rinku,
I tried your bar on my Motorola Q9h,its great work by the way  , The problem i can see its not designed for my phone: the bar is too narrow for the screen and it needs a few more options like HSDPA in the connection S o E G & H, would you be able to make these changes or perhaps you could provide the source so i could have a go at making the changes myself.Thanks Ian This post has been edited by istokes1: Feb 1 2008, 13:09 |

Once that is done, I think the plugin will match the Q9h specs (320x240). Glad to know it works outside the Shadow domain. |

Glad to know it works outside the Shadow domain. This would be a great addition. Right now I'm using it on my Vox. The problem I encounter is that I want de bar to be transparent, so that my background image of the them comes through it. If I change the "CHome_Iconbar_Background.png" to be transparent the background of the bar turns black. I have no experience using transparency. What do I need to change to get this working? |

The iconbar is ready (almost) with support for landscape mode (320x240) as well. The transparency issue has been brought to my attention and it has been resolved. I will have it out in two days. |
