::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.


 
::geOMail::

The geOMail plugin checks your pop e-mail and displays the status on your geobar.

It handles dial-up and disconnect through a modem.

You can configure more than one instance of geOMail, each looking at a different e-mail account.
