Multiple plugins - same line

[Guest spyda]

How might I put multiple plugins on the same line?

I believe there's a plugin specifically for the C500 that can do it, but in general, you can't. Each plugin goes on its own line

[Guest drblow]

The only plugin that will let you achieve that is the Orange e200 plugin. It is also built into the C500, but it's only available on Orange e200 or C500 because it's part of the ROM.

If you have either of those phones then you're laughing! Have a look at any of the xml's for my e200/c500 themes. They pretty much all contain multiple plugins displayed horizontally.

THanks for your reply.

I have a SMT5600. I've looked at Dr. Blow's Alpha c500 .xml files but some scripting looks strange. What do these script;

1. Shortcut

2. Handlekeys

Can anyone upload the C500/e200 .xml for multiple plugins?

Those are attributes specific to a plugin writted by Orange and as such are only available on Orange branded phones such as the SPV E200 and the SPV C500. Without this plugin i don't know of any way to use multiple plugins on the same line :)

<plugin halign="right" valign="right" height="10" width="100%" group="p" handlekeys="CHILD" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}">




(other plugins )

that seems to work for me but I'm unsure if that is using the orange plugin (how I use it)

yep - clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" IS the Orange plugin

[Guest benjymous]

So can this be used to get the MRU plugin onto the default C500 homescreen?

I tried putting the MRU after the C500 "homescreen" plugin, (hoping that I could scroll down from the web icon to see the MRU), but it just goes a bit peculiar (vertical scrolling doesn't behave how I'd expect it to)

[Guest scott2eyes]

Have you tried swapping the iconbar at the top with an MRU?

[Guest TheDiggia]

The only plugin that will let you achieve that is the Orange e200 plugin.  It is also built into the C500, but it's only available on Orange e200 or C500 because it's part of the ROM.

Excuse me Dr.Blow,is the Orange e200 plugin working only with E200 and C500?

i hope that it supports the SP3 also...but i don't think.

hi guys,

I've been trying for a few days to get this orange plugin working, but i can't get it to work the way i want it to, so i was hoping someone could help.

What i want to do is get the smartmonitorplugin to display battery and signal strength (in %) and then on the same row, have a new sms counter.

In the screenshot you see the one beneath the other. But when i try to use the examples I have found, the smart monnitor plugin becomes invisible, and i have to scroll sideways to see my sms counter.

I also have attached the final version of my trail. :oops:

Please help me out, i'm pretty sure this would be a very good replacement for an iconbar.

(I've got an orange C500 btw)

If it were not for this post I might have tried for weeks to get two plugins on one line! It is such a waste to use a new line for short plugins like alarm or profile.

I have to say that I do not really understand why it is not possible. As you know, in the built-in carrier plugin you can insert the clock tag, which really is the built-in clock plugin and clearly is sort of nested or embedded in some way. SBSH Facade gets the calendar and tasks tabs on one line, with a whole block of info underneath it, and that also seems to be some sort of using a main plugin to operate sub-plugins.

So, would it not be possible to make a plugin that incorporates for example an alarm plugin as well as a profile plugin? Or better even, a plugin that can call user-selected plugins, possibly chosen from a pre-defined list? Short of everybody buying Orange, or the Orange plugins becoming widely available, I think that would make designing home screens a lot more fun!

Maybe Modoaco could petition Orange to release the plugin for everyone to use, which has been my wish for a long time. I think I'll start a poll! Check in this forum.
