::Plugins::

The functionality of geOShell can be extended by the use of plugins.

This site carries plugins which are actively maintained and are known to work wih the latest version of geOShell.

Other plugins are available here. Note that these plugins may not support all the latest features of geOShell (for instance skinning).

::Recycling::

If you make a change to the configuration of a plugin you will need to recycle it for that change to take effect. There are three ways of doing this:

Full Recycle of geOShell - this reloads most things from scratch including the menus. Use WinKey-C.

Quick Recycle of geOShell - this reloads most things from scratch, but NOT the menus. Use WinKey-B.

Individual Plugin Recycle - some plugins can be recycled by doing a shift right button double click on the plugin icon. The plugins which support this are:
  • geOAmp
  • geOAmpTitle
  • geODateTime
  • geOFader
  • geOFlexiMenu
  • geOLabel
  • geOMail
  • geOSpacer
  • geOTasks
  • geOTile
  • geOVol
  • geOVWM
Note that when you recycle a geOFlexiMenu using this mechanism the menu which it displays is refreshed within geOShell.
 
::geOAmp::

The geOAmp plugin allows you to control Winamp from a geOBar. Clicking on the Winamp icon displays a menu while the remaining icons provide standard control functions (play, pause, stop, ect).

::Configuration Details::

Set the following registry keys in HKCU\Software\geO\geOShell\Plugins\geOAmpX_Y:

KeyValuesDefaultFunction
pathText""Full path to winamp.exe
ejectbutton0,11Show or hide button
nextbutton0,11Show or hide button
pausebutton0,11Show or hide button
playbutton0,11Show or hide button
previousbutton   0,11Show or hide button
stopbutton0,11Show or hide button
winampbutton0,11Show or hide button
The button registry keys each have a "Visible" value which is used to control whether the associated button is displayed on the bar:

If winamp has been properly installed (i.e. using the winamp installer) then geOAmp should be able to locate the winamp executable. It needs this so that it can start winamp if it is not running.

If you have copied winamp onto your machine manually or geOAmp fails to locate the executable for some other reason and consequently won't start winamp, then you must put the full path to the winamp executable (e.g. d:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe) in the "path" registry entry.
