Post Re: boxBar 0.1.2 (A system bar plugin)
If you don't mind having them all in one row the you can set "boxBar.tray.numCols: 0" in the rc file. Then it will not reserve any space, but all icons will be on one row.
For right-aligned, do you mean for the reserved space or just the order of the icons

It was "boxBar.tray.maxCols:" but otherwise it worked just fine. :) Thank you!
That takes care of both of my requests. I only wanted the icons to line on the right side because they left this huge gap (I have set the maximum number of icons to 15, but only 4 or 5 show up [bb not installed as main shell]).

I'll add Toggle with plugins. The problem with fullscreen apps might take a bit longer to figure out

Big thx for toggle. In last five days i had no problems with fullscreen so don't really know what caused them before…
Other bugs - i have in clock tooltip label: „%a” showing short name of day. Boxbar cut „śr” (polish s with acute) into „r” only. No problem with bbLeanBar, so perhaps in it's code is solution.

boxBar.tray.maxRows: 2
boxBar.tray.maxCols: 6
If on startup i load icons enough to make only one row of tray icons (usually i load 7, but netlimiter shows few seconds after others), icons of tasks are cut. Perhaps when drawing frame should be added check to check height of which part (with borders) will be higher? For example - my task icon is set to 40px, so it will always be higher than tray which is 24px one row and 40px two row.

It seems the Unicode version of the time formatting function in windows is messing this up, if I can't figure out how to fix it the next build will disable Unicode and it will work as in bbleanbar.

EDIT: Found what was wrong, it was not getting set correctly for the current language. It will be working properly in the next release.

This was a bug in the resizing code, it should be fixed in the next release

Me again;)
If i load boxBar into bbInterface by this code:
@BBInterface Control ExternalPlugin Frame1 Load "plugins\boxbar\boxbar.dll"
@BBInterface Control ExternalPlugin Frame1 SetProperty boxbar IsVisible true
@BBInterface Control ExternalPlugin Frame1 SetProperty boxbar Position 107 0

boxBar is loaded into position 0 0, left upper corner, instead moving 107 pixels left.

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.3 (A system bar plugin)
Thanks!
You did forget to update your RC file though.
Code:
boxBar.useSlit:         true

And you still have that error in the clock format:
Code:
boxBar.clock.format: [<-missing] %H:%M

:)

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.3 (A system bar plugin)
First, many thanks for making this.

Next, two requests.

1) ability to choose in which direction the systray grows. currently on a horizontal bar new tray icons are added to right, and since its different than usual is making my ocd kick in :roll: my brain is stupid, what can i do.
2) ability to selectively set some icons to hidden like vista tray would be very useful, because of damnable always enabled icons in said os. [-o<

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.3 (A system bar plugin)
Regarding your first request, that already works if you just have a 1-row horizontal tray and set
Code:
boxBar.tray.maxCols: 0

MaxCols is @ 0, but new tray icons appear to the left of existing ones.

Post boxBar 0.1.4 released
boxBar 0.1.4 has been released.

Some notable additions:
  • Selectable tray direction (boxBar.tray.newIconsFirst:)
  • Unicode tooltips on tray icons under boxCore

Only small things in this one

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.4 (A system bar plugin)
Can you please update the documentation so that I can find out what the following do:
Code:
boxBar.tasks.stretchArea:   true
boxBar.drawBackground:   true
boxBar.useAlphaBlend:      false

Also, how does "task reordering" work?

And is it normal that when loaded into a bbi frame, the menu is no longer available? Ctrl-right click just doesn't do anything.

Thank you!

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.4 (A system bar plugin)
  • Sometimes I have duplicated entries for a task in the tasks area. These go away when clicking on them. I'll try to jot down what apps/actions cause it so you can try to reproduce. Exact Audio Copy seems to do it occasionally.
  • One app here still not displaying popups or tooltips properly: EVEMon, a skill completion monitor for EVE-online. Its probably the most important app in my tray, so I'd very much to see it work :oops:

updates:
  • Ripping a track in EAC definitely triggers the duplicate taskbar entry issue
  • EVEMon Tooltips/popups in BBLeanMod work as well as they did on XPPro32

Post Re: boxBar 0.1.4 (A system bar plugin)
Congratulation for your work on unicode - this is really big leap for Blackbox.

Bugs:
& in tooltip now looks like &&&
Tooltips of tasks quite often are shown wrong, as in previous version. Example - running foobar2000, looking in tooltip - good, 15 minutes later still same tooltip. After closing program, task that took his space in taskbar also took his tooltip.
Changes in this version also made that bbinterface hanged. First, bbliam get painted black, few seconds later bbinterface caption. Boxcore stop responding, when i pressed win-key to show menu after that.

Duplicated entries of task shows when program use a lot of cpu.
