I did it, yay

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

yeah im going to be using those soon.... once i can figure out how to do the file theme backgrounds.

ill elaborate on that , ok so you know the picture that pops up in the background when you enter say a picture file.... im moving that to the top bar and removing it from the file area

so you will get all of them .. tho im gonna change the music one from pink (soz ladies)

ill try and get some collaboration from some willing and skilled members if i get any trouble but it should be fine

so look out here in a few days for the next beta ... which will include the longhorn backgrounds that change

Ok guys I'm back sorry life kinda got in my way but I did catch up on whats going on around here. Took a look at enigma-penguins and windowsX's new work and cleaned up the code a bit. to move it all to the top bar try the following code guys it only has one (not two) calls to draw the taskpane and it has a properly formatted flow layout they have four switches guys. And the switches on the flow layout are set to alighn the box's to the top left like all other stuff in windows. :) As for the moving of the watermark excelent idea enigma-penguin I'll have to try that myself.

So here's a little clean top task bar code :).

<hwndview resid=main id=atom(main) sheet=styleref(main) layout=borderlayout()>
<ScrollViewer id=atom(scroller) sheet=styleref(taskpane) layoutpos=top yscrollable=true>
<element id=atom(backdrop) layoutpos=top layout=borderlayout() width=649rp>
<element id=atom(sectionlist) layoutpos=top layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,0)/>
</element>
</ScrollViewer>
<Element layoutpos=Client layout=filllayout()>
<Element id=atom(clientviewhost) layout=borderlayout()>
</Element>
<Element id=atom(blockade) layout=borderlayout()>
<Element id=atom(blockadeaccent) layoutpos=left width=1/>
<Element id=atom(blockadeclient) layoutpos=client layout=borderlayout()>
<Element id=atom(blockadetitle) layoutpos=top/>
<Element id=atom(blockademessage) layoutpos=top/>
<Element id=atom(blockadeclear) layoutpos=top layout=borderlayout()>
<Button id=atom(blockadeclearbutton) layoutpos=top layout=borderlayout()>
<Element id=atom(blockadecleartext) layoutpos=top/>
</Button>
</Element>
</Element>
</Element>
</Element>
</hwndview>

Just for the record the yscrolabe string allows you to scroll the topbar if you set a static height for it.

clean and simple now to try and add the changing background

btw here's a pic of it in action

[whack]

ooops the line

<element id=atom(sectionlist) layoutpos=top layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,0)/>

should have been

<element id=atom(sectionlist) layoutpos=top layout=flowlayout(0,3,0,0)/>

that will fix the alighnment

i have been unavoidably delayed in my top bar progress... due to a mass windows failure over one of my experiments ...... ill be put back until tuesday.. that is if whack doesnt beat me to it ^_^

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

ok well ive been stumped... and im puttin my project on hold.. for two weeks till the holidays

whack: try and see if you can get the picture tasks container to expand the width/hieght of the top bar.. because watermark doesnt work (you get a black screen when not view a task based folder ie picture music) so just see it you can expand the origan... thats you only hope cos then you can have a background for normal browsing and a dif for task based

enigma peguin .........out for lunch :p

[SintaX]

what is so neat about that seriously lol, you've been able to add background images and html since windows 98se with IE4 i believe,and those menus on the left are enabled (cant remember off the top of my head) but somewhere if you right click my computer and properties, and advanced, and performance and visual or something :-\, creative but i rarely ever use large icons, details all the way ;)

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

um its not background images..... its a shell hack..plz read the thread b4 replying

[Alan Zeino]

Windows X has already done this....

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

lols thanks alan.... i havent been around much latley

cool

edit: but what exactly has he done......i havent seen anything posted

im talking about the changing backgrounds when entering task based folders... not the bar itself you know, ive already done that........;)

and btw who else isnt readin the whole thread :shifty: huh alan ;)

[whack]

alan - if you're refering to the topbar windows x actually learned the trick from this tread and another I posted if you are referring to the background of the bar changing per folder type where's the post?? I'd really like to see

[whack]

Hey Enigma-Penguin could you send me what you have so far so I can see what you have done I might be able to take it a bit further but I haven't got much time lately

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

i affraid im behind after my hd died last week but ill be back up to scratch soon... i have a few idea to give you and a few lines of code to speal out but you'll have to wait till im on holidays next week

i got really close on a few things but only time ius gonna tell

ill report back here soon k ^_^

[Alan Zeino]

Yeah i got windows x's thingy where he added a top bar.... isnt that what your tryin to do? I was hoping actually to be able to add somesort of info into the top bar... like longhorn... I wish it was possible to put a windows media player app. in their, like smaret bar.... If only it was possible... OR MAYBE IT IS!

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

ok alan heres the thing read the thread plz..... what we are trying to do is add the background changing capabilities when changing to task based folders

... i will look into the media player thing... and im also working on the whole search thing

[whack]

lol alan windows x learned how to put the top bar in from this and one other thread. :)

the point of this thread is now to make it more useable and customized.

like for instance changing backgrounds or maybe even adding a media player (though we're not nearly that far yet)

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

actually i think ive found a way to put the search in like longhorns.....lols i just need to find a way to change a few things. but thats basic i guess (considering it already a part of windows shell)

like whack said we arent to far with the dev but as long as we get experience people helping we will do it

btw whack did you think about using windows media player 9's ability to work as a tool bar/ in the taskbar im looking at that now

edit: oh and one last thing.. i thinks thats what we are looking for.. just give me five minutes

Titled Editted, it was beginning to annoy me :p

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

lols after what like 2 months....lols creamhackered i guess so

?i3_x3WQ: well its done by modifying the shellstyle.dll's ui file ( this is what gives it its layout)

whack posted the refined code for the basic script about a page back... and the more advanced stuff is on the way
