Smaller MRU icons - Motorola Q Forum

intheriver · 09-21-2007, 11:43 AM

Does anyone know how to make MRU Icons smaller than size 16?

I have cusotmized a homescreen and have one issue that is bugging me. The problem is I have the MRU icons on the very bottom, however they seem to expand below the visible surface of the Q so that if I scroll down to the MRU line it has to jog the entire screen up to see them fully. I am using this plugin:

<plugin file="sysplug.dll" clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" height="25">
<background b-border-width="0"/>
<mru icon-size="16" x="32" y="0" halign="center" valign="bottom" max-buttons="10" />
<format state="selected" bgcolor="#000000" font-weight="bold" fgcolor="#000000"/>
<appname halign="center" x="0" y="31" font-size="11" fgcolor="#000000"/>
</plugin>

Everytime I change the value of icon-size (from 16 to 12 or 20, etc.) I get Large icons rather than what I would think would be the correct size difference to the # value I am adding.

Any suggestions?

Correct. Only 16 and 32 are supported. For smaller solutions, checkout RJShortur or Facade. But those don't act like the MRU, they display static icons (defineable of course).

edit... It's RJShortcut ... bad typo ...

I am using Facade...Could explain an example? what about if I used a launcher list rather than MRU, like....


<plugin clsid="{C49CEC80-D445-407C-AA72-C263EDBBAC96}" id="FacadeLauncher" type="Launcher" height="25">
<buttons>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\TaskManager.exe"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Screen capture.lnk"/>
<Button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\TCPMP.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Internet Explorer.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\WMPlayer.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Settings.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\ActiveSync.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\MemoryManager.exe"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Pictures & Videos.lnk"/>
<button action="run" command="\Windows\Start Menu\Google Maps.lnk"/>
</buttons>
</plugin>

Adding w="xx" and h="xx" defines width and height. Actually, you'd need to make new icons, too, otherwies they'd get cut.

Just a note to say "Thanks" to Prosper.

Icon Location?. A few weeks ago, I posted this thread, as I was having some difficulty with colors and icons. You posting that note above, got me thinking about my "Quiet Blue" phone icons.

I just did a test sample to see if I could remap the automatic icons for Program Links in Facade. Low and behold, you can. And here I was thinking I'd be bored tonight. Looks like I've got plenty of image work ahead of me.
