Guest rizzles Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Im trying my first HS uisng the orange plugin and icon resources.. new_hs.home.xml Basicly i want the icons at the bottom to stack verticly and each one to open like the standard orange homescreen.... So when you highlight the message icon it will pop up to options: New SMS and Check mail. The planet will pop open to reveal some weblinks The headphones will display the current profile and shortcut to the profile page.. Only problem is that i dont have a clue how to do this.. ive looked through some homescreens but cant work it out.. Edited February 6, 2006 by rizzles
Guest Jamma14 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 What you want to do is gonna be tricky. You'll need to split the shortcuts into separate orange plugins so that they line up vertically. But also for the bottom one you'll need to embed the profile plugin, and for the top one put in two shortcuts embedded within one shortcut. Have a look at xp and mac code and you might be able to figure it out. If not, dw it took me ages to get to grips with it, it's a complicated plugin. If you want, send the whole hs to me ([email protected]) and I can do it for you. James

A few questions: Whats the new.exe file for? The new sms and check mail links arent working. How do i add weblinks to it?? Also how is it working as i cant seem to find the backgrounds for the orange plugin?? thanks for you hard work!! Ryan Edited February 9, 2006 by rizzles
Guest Jamma14 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 New.exe is the icon resource - open it in reshacker to see the icons. Forgot you need this file as well - rename it to New SMS.lnk and put it in your home folder. As for check mail not working...don't know why I just linked it to messaging in the start menu as I wasn't sure what you wanted it to do. Search the xml for action="\storage\Windows\Start Menu\Messaging.lnk" and edit it to what you want. As for adding weblinks I made it easy for you so I just used RJshortcut embedded. Scroll to where it says web links near the bottom of the xml, and you can add and change shortcuts like shown: <!-- row 2 col 1 - Links --> <shortcut width="240" height="47"> <plugin height="47" width="240" handlekeys="FOCUS" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" group="p"> <background b-border-width="0" /> <format state="selected" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" padding-top="0" bgcolor="transparent" bgtext="transparent"/> <format state="unselected" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" padding-top="0" bgcolor="transparent" bgtext="transparent" /> <shortcut id="row2col1" width="240" height="47"> <plugin clsid="{F3750050-8E30-4c61-A864-4301F5D7C065}" height="47"> <background b-border-width="0"> <format state="selected" padding-top="3" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#ABCDEF" bgimage="neweb.ico" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> <format state="unselected" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#000000" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> </background> <format padding-left="0" padding-top="0" padding-bottom="0" /> <shortcutbar hide="yes" icon-spacing="9" icon-size="small" button-image="button.jpg"> <shortcut appname="MoDaCo" target="iexplore.exe" args="http://www.modaco.com"/> </shortcutbar> <appname x="115" y="16" font-weight="300" font-size="20" fgcolor="#000000"> </appname> </plugin> </shortcut> <shortcut id="row2col2" width="240" height="47"> <plugin clsid="{F3750050-8E30-4c61-A864-4301F5D7C065}" height="47"> <background b-border-width="0"> <format state="selected" padding-top="3" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#ABCDEF" bgimage="neweb.ico" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> <format state="unselected" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#000000" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> </background> <format padding-left="0" padding-top="0" padding-bottom="0" /> <shortcutbar hide="yes" icon-spacing="9" icon-size="small" button-image="button.jpg"> <shortcut appname="Mobiholics" target="iexplore.exe" args="http://www.mobiholics.net"/> </shortcutbar> <appname x="110" y="16" font-weight="300" font-size="20" fgcolor="#000000"> </appname> </plugin> </shortcut> <!-- Add a new shortcut like this --> <shortcut id="row2col3" width="240" height="47"> <plugin clsid="{F3750050-8E30-4c61-A864-4301F5D7C065}" height="47"> <background b-border-width="0"> <format state="selected" padding-top="3" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#ABCDEF" bgimage="neweb.ico" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> <format state="unselected" font-weight="normal" font-size="12" fgcolor="#000000" padding-left="0" padding-right="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgtext="transparent" /> </background> <format padding-left="0" padding-top="0" padding-bottom="0" /> <shortcutbar hide="yes" icon-spacing="9" icon-size="small" button-image="button.jpg"> <shortcut appname="Example" target="iexplore.exe" args="http://www.example.com"/> </shortcutbar> <appname x="110" y="16" font-weight="300" font-size="20" fgcolor="#000000"> </appname> </plugin> </shortcut> <!-- Add a new shortcut like this --> </plugin> </shortcut> </plugin> And you can add as many as you like in that way.

James <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've renamed it with .lnk on the end but it still isnt working?? it says "error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename"? Any ideas? Do you know how to get the check mail bit to automaticly start the send/recieve function in an email account like crafty's icandy? Edited February 9, 2006 by rizzles
Guest Jamma14 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) It should be: \Storage\Application Data\Home\New SMS.lnk Is that what you've got?? Try refreshing the homescreen as well (switching to another then switching back). I'll have a look at iCandy and copy the code and post a new xml for you in a second. James EDIT: Ok, put this new xml in your home folder, switch to another screen, allow it to load, then switch back. Let me know if it works now.newhs.home.xml Edited February 9, 2006 by Jamma14

When you scroll left on the new sms and check mail bit the weblinks scroll too... is there anyway of stopping them scrolling??

EDIT: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the gif doesnt seem to be moving.... does it for you?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gif work's for me. And as for the scrolling - no don't think so. That's a problem with the orange plugin - create two separate instances of it and one affects the other. That effect caused a few bugs in the xp homescreen but I managed to sort them out using invisible width="0" shortcuts. Since everything is on the same page here that's not going to work. :| Sorry bout. James

Change one to a different group & see if that helps.
