why does changing the <scheme> tag remove my MRU bar

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: CingularWRX

I cut and pasted a set of <scheme> tags, making sure to get both the opening and closing tags along with all the goodies in between. Since then I've yet to be able to get my MRU back up top. Everything else is there as normal but I use it CONSTANTLY


I would assume the MRU is the plugin called "Icon Bar" which has this XML:
Code:
<plugin clsid="{837FC251-FE69-43ad-84E0-EBCEDEBA0884}" name="iconbar" height="20"> <iconbar fgcolor="COLOR_TRAYTEXT"/> <background gradient="title" bgcolor="COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT" b-border-color="COLOR_HOMERULE" b-border-width="1"/> </plugin>


my scheme tags look like this:
Code:
<scheme> <color name="COLOR_WINDOW" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_WINDOWTEXT" value="#9FCFFF" /> <color name="COLOR_STATIC" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_STATICTEXT" value="#9FCFFF" /> <color name="COLOR_HIGHLIGHT" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT" value="#FFFFFF" /> <color name="COLOR_TEXTSELECT" value="#FFFFFF" /> <color name="COLOR_MENU" value="#002D59" /> <color name="COLOR_MENUTEXT" value="#C1E0FF" /> <color name="COLOR_GRAYTEXT" value="#808080" /> <color name="COLOR_GRADLEFT" value="#000040" /> <color name="COLOR_GRADRIGHT" value="#0080C0" /> <color name="COLOR_INTGRADLEFT" value="#000040" /> <color name="COLOR_INTGRADRIGHT" value="#0080C0" /> <color name="COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT" value="#FFFFFF" /> <color name="COLOR_TRAYGRADRIGHT" value="#0055AA" /> <color name="COLOR_HIGHGRADLEFT" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_HIGHGRADRIGHT" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_TRAYTEXT" value="#000040" /> <color name="COLOR_WINDOWFRAME" value="#000040" /> <color name="COLOR_BTNFACE" value="#002D59" /> <color name="COLOR_BTNTEXT" value="#C1E0FF" /> <color name="COLOR_SCROLLBAR" value="#E0E0E0" /> <color name="COLOR_HOMETEXT" value="#000000" /> <color name="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" value="#71B8FF" /> <color name="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT" value="#71B8FF" /> <color name="COLOR_HOMERULE" value="#71B8FF" /> <color name="COLOR_ALERTWINDOW" value="#004080" /> <color name="COLOR_ALERTTITLE" value="#000040" /> <color name="COLOR_ALERTRULE" value="#000080" /> </scheme>


am I wrong in assuming the "icon bar" plugin is the MRU? The schems are the only thing that have changed and I didn't read every tag but i dont see how that would affect the MRU

any help would be great, i'm still learing the XML stuff. I know a little html but this is proving quite a bit different

The Icon Bar that you have listed above is the set of icons at the very top of the screen, ie Signal Strength, GPRS availability, Battery Meter etc..

The following is the plugin for the MRU from the standard homescreen...

<plugin file="sysplug.dll" clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" height="20">
<mru max-buttons="9" icon-size="16" x="2" />
</plugin>

You will notice here I changed the icon size and number of icons to allow for 9 small icons instead of the 5 that is on the default homescreen.

Wow, you are the MAN! Thanks for that info. Now, the only issue I have is that its not letting me see whats selected, is this b/c of my scheme tags? I cant tell which icon my cursor is over

It is more than likely your scheme...the highlight mode that MRU uses is either set to transparent or the same color as your homescreen background.

Ok I think I need a break.

I cut and pasted something and now its changed the XML so that it can't even be found when I upload it. I took out what I copied in but its still not working and now I got the "windows could not find a home page...." error

Post the code for your whole homescreen, or PM it to me...I will see if I can get it up and running for you.
