::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.
 
::geOTasks::

The geOTasks plugin provides a task manager on a geOBar.

::Configuration Details::

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

KeyValuesDefaultFunction
CombineItemsYes, NoNoEnables "combined mode"
AlwaysShowMenuYes, NoNoSee below


With combined mode enabled, all instances of an application are represented by a single geOTasks icon. Clicking the icon displays a menu listing the application instances (see below).

Note if only one application is active then by default, clicking it's icon shows or hides the application instead of display a menu. In CombinedItem mode, the AlwaysShowMenu configuration entry forces geOTasks to display a menu for single as well as multiple applications.

    

Selecting a menu item shows or hides the application.
