If your run:
Windows 2000/XP use BBIcons.dll
Windows 95/98/ME use BBIcons_LE.dll (no transparency support)!
To load BBIcons you simply need to add the relative path of the plugin (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc (located in the Blackbox directory).
For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and BBIcons.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins\BBIcons, you should add the line...
plugins\BBIcons\BBIcons.dll
...to plugins.rc. Simple, eh? :)
First you will need to set up the BBIcons.rc (or BBIconsrc) file. Without putting settings into here BBIcons is utterly useless.
Once an Icon is loaded the following Mouse Commands work:
Right Click for settings Menu
Left Click to Execute Shortcut [this can be changed to a double click]
CTRL + Left Click to Move
I have included a default configuration file (BBIcons.rc) in the .zip. If a configuration file for some reason (e.g. you deleted it <g>) can not be found at startup (BBIcons will first search for it in the same directory as the plugin, then in the Blackbox directory), BBIcons will load no icons! (go figure) Icons can be added through bro@m execution..
Applies to all Icons:
bbicons.transparency.enabled: false transparency enabled
bbicons.transparency.level: 50 transparency level
bbicons.dblclick: false double click to execute?
bbicons.snapicons: false snap icons together?
bbicons.snapicons.distance: 8 distance at which icons should snap
Replace [num] with a number starting at 1 and going to as many as you want ;)
bbicons.icon[num].cmd: notepad.exe Command to execute on Left Click (can be a bro@m)
bbicons.icon[num].arguments: c:\autoexec.bat arguments to send command (except bro@ms)
bbicons.icon[num].workingdir: C:\ working directory for command (except bro@ms)
bbicons.icon[num].ico: path_to_icon Should we use a differant icon?
bbicons.icon[num].size: small (default) | medium | large | xlarge Icon size: 16, 32, 42, 64
bbicons.icon[num].x: 100 X position
bbicons.icon[num].y: 100 Y position
bbicons.icon[num].alwaysontop: false Always On Top?
bbicons.icon[num].snapwindow: false Snap to Screen Edges?
bbicons.icon[num].transback: false Should the icon have a
transparent backing?
Please note that BBIcons automatically saves the current running configuration when you quit or restart Blackbox, overwriting the previous contents of the file. So if you have made changes to your BBIcons.rc you want to keep, make sure to do a "Read Settings" before exiting Blackbox.
Replace [num] with the number of the icon you want to send the message to.
