E200 Orange Homescreen

[Guest pauly_squiff]

Hi all

This is my 1st post :)

I've got a new E200 on Orange and have changed the homescreen a little bit, but have a couple of questions for all you experts.

Can you change the 'Send a Picture' option under messages to something useful like 'Send & Receive emails'?

Can you change the calendar plugin to show only todays appointments and not just the next one? At the moment it's showing an appointment I have tomorrow which is really annoying.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello m8! Welcome to modaco!! :)

The short answer to your first question is "Yes" - but not without some pretty hefty recoding of the homescreen xml. You can use the e200 Orange plugin to proxy keyclicks, so effectively you could add another shortcut which would imitate the keyclicks required to do this. Actually - send & recieve emails is a damn good idea for the homescreen, & I thiunk it definately requires some further attention! So, when I get it sussed I'll post something here about it.

The answer to your second question is no. The plugin would need to be recxonfigured entirely to allow specific days appts to be shown. Unfortunately there have been no great efforts by anyone to make a great new calendar plugin - which I would love to see too!

Great!

I look forward to getting a useful option on the homescreen instead of the 'send a picture' crap which is basically another shortcut to the camera...

You mention that the Orange plugin proxies keyclicks - could this be used to make shortcuts to the 'Sent Items' folder etc? I find changing folders really clumsy and not very intuitive..

Thanks for the info.

Not sure about folders ... you can't make shortcuts to folders, I know that much!! Some experimentation, methinks!!

<shortcut width="100%" height="20">


	<plugin height="20" width="100%" handlekeys="FOCUS" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}">

                  <text>Send/Receive Email</text> 


               </label> 


            </shortcut>    


         </plugin>


</shortcut>

If you replace this code with the current code it will check the email account that is the 4th item on the accounts screen (not the active sync email).

If you have more account alter -T4 to -T5 etc, or if you want separate links to multiple email accounts just say.

I haven't altered the original comment so it should be easy for you to find where to insert it.

That rules! Is there nothing this plugin can't do?? :wink:
