::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.
 
::geODateTime::

The geODateTime plugin displays the date and time on the bar.

::Configuration Details::

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

The font string must be in the format "font,size", where font is valid font name as displayed in the Font Control Panel.

The valid date/time formats for the tooltip and the main display are :

%BFull month name
%cDate and time representation appropriate for locale
%dDay of month as decimal number (01 – 31)

%IHour in 12-hour format (01 – 12)
%jDay of year as decimal number (001 – 366)
%mMonth as decimal number (01 – 12)
%MMinute as decimal number (00 – 59)
%pCurrent locale’s A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock

%#xLong date representation, appropriate to current locale. For example: “Tuesday, March 14, 1995”.
%sSwatchBeats
%1-3SwatchDeciBeats (1 = one decimal point ... etc)
Inserting a pound sign (#) into some codes will change them slightly:

%#d, %#H, %#I, %#j, %#m, %#M, %#S, %#U, %#w, %#W, %#y, %#Y Remove leading zeros (if any).

Characters which do not begin with a percent sign (%) will appear in the same location and unchanged in the output string.
