Retro PPC highlight

[Guest matta]

Hi guys (n gals),

I've nearly finished a Pocket PC theme i've been working on (you know with icons down the left side) but have had to resort to cheating by actually drawing the icons on the background. This means that the Home Highlight covers up the pretty icons. Does anyone know if you can make the dam thing transparent? Or failing that, does anyone know how to attach an icon to the left of the plugin correctly? I know on one of the preset home screes orange have created an "ieo" group with internet links, could this help me?

Many Thank

PS Keep up the good work.

Matta, it all depends what sort of Icons you want to show, using either way is fine (and drawing the icon on the background certainly aint cheating) you cannont add your own icons (in the window sense) to the shortcut plugin - it only uses a limited number of built in icons. if you want the programs icon as show in the "menu" just assign the shortcut action to the .lnk file in Start Menu.

I'm a bit unsure what you by the Home Highlight covers up the pretty icons, if you mean when you move down the screen to the shortcut then you have two options; if you are assigning text to the shortcut plug-in just use bgtext= and then you colour code, if your not using text just repostion the plugin on the screen ;)

Hope this has been of some use.
