Modifying the Simplicity QuickLaunch Thread last updated on 2003-09-19 09:28:17

Posted by member 63213 on 2003-09-15 21:46:59

Hey guys, as the title states, I'm using the simplicity theme and I have the quicklaunch at the botton. However, I'd like to edit some of the icons. Add or delete at will as well as change the little icons.

How might I do this?

If you point me to the right docs, I can read it for myself, but I can't seem to find the documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Charles

well, the "icons" are actually images that omar included with the theme. to "change" them, you would actually need to make new icons yourself, or find the ones you want on the net somewhere. now, to change where they point to, the target's are specified in one of simplicity's config files. as I don't have simplicity on my system right now (though with all the problems people are suddenly having with it, maybe I SHOULD download it), I can't point you to the specific config file.

Well, I want to delete a couple of icons alltogether and add some different ones. I can make the icons I guess, but where do I actually get to the code that determines which ones to display and what icons are attached to them. I tried to simply edit the evars.rc with no luck. I figured the evars/rc was simply a reference file anyway, so I expected the result. I'm thinking I need to get into some sort of .DLL file, but which one? And in order to edit a .dll file what program do I need?

i think the file youre looking for is $LitestepDir$simplicity\config\themevars.rc... and .rc files arent just reference files, they are the actual configuration files

u don't have to edit modules (dll)! just edit the images in the images folder ;)

Hey guys, thanks. IT was in the Themevars.rc file. I simply changed the quicklaunch text and the program reference I needed and it works great now. Now, I just need to make an icon to finish it up.

Extra question from newbie here....

I've just installed litestep with the simplicity theme. Standard it uses the quicklaunchbar in textmode, how can I switch this to icon-mode?

ok, ALL I'm saying is that simplicity includes a very well designed (and informative) readme file. read it. we're not here so that you don't need to read things for yourself.

Ok Ok, i've found !ChangeQLaunchState in state.rc, that worked.
And i just found the "SHIFT-left click popup menu"...

Excuse me for this and other stupid questions in the future :P
