I would love if there was. I looked and looked, and couldn't fine that specific plugin. I found many other .xml plugins using the Orange .dll, but could never successfully duplicate it to get the Profile and BT plugins on the same line. Eventually I gave up trying. Anyone who actually know how to use the Orange .dll (I still am really confused by it) care to post the code to do that? I'd be very happy.

take a look here: http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopi...r=asc&start=60
page 5, half way down, i downloaded the 'theme' (VistaO) and put it on my phone, it only displays the profile, not sure if i/it needs another plugin. check it out..

Sweet! Thank you so much. I was able to extract the plugin line from that and modify it slightly to get what I wanted. I'm still working on it, and it isn't perfect yet, but nearly there. There's just some minor tweaking I'm trying to work on now, like when I go from the Profile plugin to the Bluetooth plugin, it scrolls the plugins over instead of the selection box. I'd rather just have it move right and highlight the Bluetooth plugin than move the profile plugin off the screen and the BT plugin to the left. I also can't resize it to take up a little less space. I'd like to make it smaller, and the the words centered in the plugin space. Right now it's larger than it needs to be, and has a large gap on the top of the plugin. For now though, here's the code for the plugin, and a screen shot of what I have.

<plugin height="20" width="100%" handlekeys="FOCUS" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}">
<format state="selected" font-weight="bold" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" bgtext="transparent"/>
<format state="unselected" valign="top" align="left" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />

<shortcut width="150">
<plugin file="sysplug.dll" clsid="{95976968-45D5-40c9-9779-2B859B1C2FEC}" name="profile" height="20">
<label>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
<format state="unselected" valign="bottom" />
<text>Profile: <profile/></text>
</label>
</plugin>
</shortcut>
<shortcut width="150">

<plugin clsid="{df648b7e-7645-419d-ba0b-503acea3edfb}">
</plugin>
</shortcut>

</plugin>

you are getting somewhere.. for sure. but it looks kinda weird on my home screen:

it responds strange to me trying to scroll...

(nevermind the Unreg'd SmartSS+)

smeg36 · 02-07-2007, 11:05 PM

It turns black when selected because that's the way all the other plugins function on my homescreen, so I changed it to match the rest of my plugins. It is done by this line:

<format state="selected" font-weight="bold" align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" bgtext="transparent"/>

I'd find one of the other plugins in your xml, and find out what the bgcolor= and what the bgtext= values are, then switch what you currently have with what I placed in the plugin. Your last picture is the part that bugs me. When you are on the plugin line on Profile, then hit right to go to BT is pulls the BT over instead of leaving it where it is and highlighting the BT plugin. That's what I want to figure out how to change.

i 'played' with those settings for a few hours now... issues;
- the selected BT jumps to the left
- the background is still black
- i am unable to get rid of the line underneath it, i added background b-border-width="0"

i did get the profile line lined up and where i want it, so yes there is progress.

thanks again..

rudeboy · 02-21-2007, 04:14 PM

did you ever get this perfected ? i'm still struggling with it and can not get it right (i also changed home screen)

would love to have this working...

ps. or maybe you can email me your .xml, i can get things out i don't want.. does your scroll correctly ?)

smeg36 · 02-21-2007, 07:04 PM

Yeah, I got it working as good as possible on my homescreen. I figured out a way to make it not scroll, but then the BT plugin wasn't selectable. I've learned to live with it scolling because I so rarely select the BT plugin. If you wanted to post your XML I could play around with it and see if I get it working properly with yours. My XML is attached to this thread.

rudeboy · 02-21-2007, 08:22 PM

thanks for sharing... it's the darnest thing, i copy the part (exact copy 'n paste) i want into my .xml and suddenly the profile part takes up to lines, basically i only see half because the height of that line is set -i know that 'cuz i made the space higher and then i can see both lines-

i still can't believe we are the only 2 people on this world who would like to see this work, i asked gadget to take a look-see but so far i didn't hear back.

ps. i either want the BT part to be selectable without "jumping" back & forth, or i want it to not be selectable at all (yes i heard it before, i am a nitpicker :}

c'mon guys & girls... chime in and help us out here.
