Anybody tinkered with the C500 plugin yet??

[Guest drblow]

Well?? :shock:

Having had a quick look at the xml, it doesn't give away any clues at all. There are no recognisable xml tags to work with as far as I can tell, apart from the plugin height, but when I have tried to include it with other plugins, the selection gets all whacky & zany! :)

Does anybody know if it is using .inf files from somewhere? Or anywhere else we can find relevant info?

[Guest Rod]

I can't do anything useful with it either.

All I actually want changed is the first slide out menu. I would remove contacts stuff (because its easily got to with the right soft key) and replace them with Profile and Alarm. This would make it near perfect in my opinion because I like the rest of it.

[Guest drblow]

hmm ... :?

[Guest crafty]

i've managed to change the icons :) - working on something to release soon but a bit busy with 'proper work' at the mo.

[Guest drblow]

How? Where? When? :)

Can you give us a clue as to where to start!?

[Guest crafty]

Now that would be telling :lol:

I'm writing a little tutorial to go with it so all will be revealed... here's a little (still early days) teaser tho :lol:

p.s. congratulations Doc and good to have you back :)

Ooh, ya bugger!! :) Look forward to seeing some stuff about this plugin, coz it's beating me so far!

Cheers by the way! :wink:

I need to change the links on this homescreen too...

I've re-organised the start/progams menu and I believe some of the links on the homescreen point to some of these shortcuts, as some of them say they cannot find the shortcut.

[Guest drblow]

Yup! Thats exactly whats happening! :x Using the C500 plugin the way it is means that you cannot move any of the apps used in the shortcuts - messaging, calendar, settings, internet explorer, call history.

Its quite a shame, since I was really looking forward to customising it. But messing with homescreens on the C500 so far has given me no end of grief. It doesn't seem to handle the e200 plugin at all. Even the one from Orange downloads freezes my phone up. So maybe the reason why it seem uncustomisable is coz the c500 homescreen can't handle it. :x

[Guest fozzie]

You can move any of the apps shortcuts out of the root of the start menu and still have the Orange plug-in shortcuts work................ with a slight cheat! Just COPY them to where you really want them and then just change the properties of the ones you don't want to see to HIDDEN. Voila - gone from the root but still accessible by the Orange plug-in. :)

I really looking forward to customising it!
