Shell look has changed
By: oxygen77  on: Sun 20 of Apr, 2008 [16:39 UTC]  (85 reads)

I've add new popup windows when plug-in/plug-out event are happening for USB, CF, FW and Dc plug. The popup is displayed over the shell window during a short period of time. The image used is not really nice looking but they can be easily modify if you send me png files. Newt step will be to remove the top status line so we have the full screen most of the time. F2 key will be used to show the status line when user want to see time, internal HP status ...

New icon format
By: oxygen77  on: Thu 27 of Mar, 2008 [06:53 UTC]  (138 reads)

A new icon format is now supported by medios (it is not in the dailybuild yet). Medios can read icon in the standard windows format. we hav esome constrain: - type of image is bitmap (not png) - it should be an 8 bit (ie 256 colors) bmp This new format is easier to produce and the transparency is natively supported. -EDIT- I've added the new code in svn, it should be soon available in dailybuild I've also convert all icons to new format. You can also make your own ico files, they still have to be 8bit bmp, it is better if you use medios palette. When first loaded the ico file will be converted to medios icone fomat in order to load faster Now we need your contribution for new icon set, the files have to use medios palette that I can provide if you tell me for which tool you need it. -EDIT2- I've done a small tuto: icon tutorial
