| 17 | INTRODUCTION
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | The extended system tray widget is a plugin for XCenter that provides support
|
|---|
| 20 | for the system tray area in the XCenter bar. This area is commonly used by
|
|---|
| 21 | long running applications to display their status using graphical icons and to
|
|---|
| 22 | provide a way to control these applications by clicking on their icons.
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | There is a number of other tools to implement the described functionality (for
|
|---|
| 25 | example, SysTray/WPS by Dmitry Zaharov and the XCenter plugin for it by Eugene
|
|---|
| 26 | Romanenko). The main reason to create yet another implementation is that
|
|---|
| 27 | existing ones do not provide the level of functionality required by the Qt
|
|---|
| 28 | toolkit for which this extended implementation was created for.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | Note that since the SysTray/WPS API is being already used by a number of OS/2
|
|---|
| 31 | applications to implement system tray icons (e.g. PM Downloader, CoolFM), the
|
|---|
| 32 | Extended system tray widget implements this API as well to provide backward
|
|---|
| 33 | compatibility. See the API file for more information.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | The word "extended" in the widget name is used to distinguish from the XCenter
|
|---|
| 36 | widget by Eugene Romanenko and also to indicate that this one provides some
|
|---|
| 37 | extended functionality (for example the ability to add any valid icon to the
|
|---|
| 38 | tray, not only the frame window's icon).

|
|---|
| 42 | INSTALLATION
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | In order to manually install the extended system tray widget plugin to XCenter,
|
|---|
| 45 | copy xsystray.dll to
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | <XWorkplace installation folder>\plugins\xcenter\
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | If you are using eCenter (rebranded XCenter included in the latest eComStation
|
|---|
| 50 | releases), copy xsystray.dll to
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | <Boot drive>:\ecs\system\ewps\plugins\xcenter\
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Then you should close all XCenter instances and start them again. The system
|
|---|
| 55 | tray widget will appear in the widget list under the name "Extended system
|
|---|
| 56 | tray".

| 60 | UPGRADING
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | If you are upgrading from the previous version, you should do the following:
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | - Unlock the old xsystray.dll file (for example, using unlock.exe from the
|
|---|
| 65 | lxlite package).
|
|---|
| 66 | - Overwrite it with the new xsystray.dll file.
|
|---|
| 67 | - Restart WPS. Note that restarting XCenter is not enough since the old DLL
|
|---|
| 68 | will remain loaded in this case.
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | The new version should be now picked up automatically.
