Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Thanks again qwerty12 & fiferboy...

The file opened just dandy in Media Player using

as a Personal Menu command. :)

However,

or

as either the Personal Menu "Command to execute" or the "DBUS Service name" causes Mplayer to load then the desktop abruptly crashes. :eek:

mms://a466.l3760651364.c37606.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/466/37606/v0001/reflector:51364 BTW, is where the m3u file points.

You can open this addy in a browser window on the tablet and it will launch in Media Player... where I saved it as a play list file. With my set-up that addy plays a bit better in Mplayer though.

I found the addy digging around in the dark corners of the Internet. It is a live stream of what is happening now at CNN. Very handy during natural disasters or Presidential Inaugurations and whatnot... Now I have 1 click access in Media Player at least. :)

Don't use the Dbus service name field (it's for things like com.nokia.mediaplayer on their own) and try placing the file name in quotes as so:

how hard would it be to add the ability to change the icon from within the settings?

that is, the icon that is displayed in the sidebar.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Good thing you clarified or I would have thought you were talking about the icon associated with an application entry.

I never thought of doing that, probably at least partially because I like to see the Personal Menu icon in people's screenshots! I don't think there is any technical limitation that would prevent implementation, but it would definitely require the user to either unload/reload PM or reboot their tablet.

I'll take a look at this when I have some time for Personal Menu again. Thanks.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

heh, its mostly so that it will blend with the rest of the lcars theme's, if provided with the right icon.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

I must confess, an inbuilt icon changer facility would be nice - perhaps even as stand alone app - I'm still struggling with the instructions elsewhere on this forum to manually change icons:(

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

a dbus-switchboard for icons? ;)

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

I throw all mine in the "applications" directory in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable so they show up in the "Select Icon" drop down menu under "applications" as type.
But even this method requires root access and has problems with the icon cache if you add to many.


It would be nice if a user accessible directory was added to that "Icon type" drop down menu.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Im thinkin he means for the actual task navigator icon...but i definitely agree that a normal folder in the filemanager should be able to be accessed its just a pain in the *** to keep updating the icon cache everytime you want to see if an icon shows up right. In my ideal world we would be have a simple dialog box to chang ANY major icons across the whole system...built in app menu, left corner notifications, etc.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Oh, in that case... never mind. :o

BTW, I use a different icon for The task navigator and Personal Menu by replacing the associated icons (qgn-grid-tasknavigator_others.png and personal_menu.png) that are found in the same /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable directory.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Only reason mine are the exact same icon (the "menu" from the tritantium theme" is that i dont have the font in paintshop to make one that says something else.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Fiferboy, any progress on making the second personal menu toggle and option on the any soon to be released versions? I just dont get how to do it with the instructions a few pages back. Could you give me exact step by step instructions with exactly what to type at each step?

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 

Anyone had the chance to type out an exact step by step of the menu toggle? Would love full separate personal menu i could replace the web icon with to use soley for bookmarks that I can organize i see fit.
