Guest RinkuD Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 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.

Guest deyanimay Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deyanimay Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 no u dont have to use the neo interface but then u have to edit the xml file that corresponds to your theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RinkuD Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) 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!!

Once everything was done, did you see the message box asking for confirmation to run the plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yOitsSpyda Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) no i didnt get the confirmation box? but i no i didnt have a problem with the other stuff, and but i didnt get a confirmation box, nor a check set as default on the registry eithr Edited February 1, 2008 by yOitsSpyda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest yOitsSpyda Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 is it suppose to ask for the confirmation box before or after i turn it off.. cause its not asking for the confirmation box, and i got the white bar again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest istokes1 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited February 1, 2008 by istokes1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ian I am working on adding landscape support to the plugin. 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 plugin seems to work only on the home screen. When you go into a menu or something I still get the normal bar on top. By the way, the new one work like a charm. Only one question. Is it possible to have the orientation changed when you slide the phone? Normaly I have portrait but when I slide my keyboard open I have landscape.

With a few more basic changes, I shall be soon be realesing the source code for the plugin. Then perhaps interested users can add more notifications as they want.
