| 14 | INTRODUCTION
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | The extended system tray widget is a plugin for XCenter that provides support
|
|---|
| 17 | for the system tray area in the XCenter bar. This area is commonly used by
|
|---|
| 18 | long running applications to display their status using graphical icons and to
|
|---|
| 19 | provide a way to control these applications by clicking on their icons.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | There is a number of other tools to implement the described functionality (for
|
|---|
| 22 | example, SysTray/WPS by Dmitry Zaharov and the XCenter plugin for it by Eugene
|
|---|
| 23 | Romanenko). The main reason to create yet another implementation is that
|
|---|
| 24 | existing ones do not provide the level of functionality required by the Qt
|
|---|
| 25 | toolkit for which this extended implementation was created for.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | Note that since the SysTray/WPS API is being already used by a number of OS/2
|
|---|
| 28 | applications to implement system tray icons (e.g. PM Downloader, CoolFM), the
|
|---|
| 29 | Extended system tray widget implements this API as well to provide backward
|
|---|
| 30 | compatibility. See the API file for more information.
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | The word "extended" in the widget name is used to distinguish from the XCenter
|
|---|
| 33 | widget by Eugene Romanenko and also to indicate that this one provides some
|
|---|
| 34 | extended functionality (for example the ability to add any valid icon to the
|
|---|
| 35 | tray, not only the frame window's icon).

| 39 | INSTALLATION
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | In order to manually install the extended system tray widget plugin to XCenter,
|
|---|
| 42 | copy xsystray.dll to
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <XWorkplace installation folder>\plugins\xcenter\
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | If you are using eCenter (rebranded XCenter included in the latest eComStation
|
|---|
| 47 | releases), copy xsystray.dll to
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | <Boot drive>:\ecs\system\ewps\plugins\xcenter\
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | Then you should close all XCenter instances and start them again. The system
|
|---|
| 52 | tray widget will appear in the widget list under the name "Extended system
|
|---|
| 53 | tray".

| 57 | UPGRADING
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | If you are upgrading from the previous version, you should close all XCenter
|
|---|
| 60 | instances BEFORE overwriting xsystray.dll with the new version. When you are
|
|---|
| 61 | done with that, just start XCenter again and the new version should be picked
|
|---|
| 62 | up automatically.
