RE:smarttoolkit WM7 style1: whether the start will let the menu move this way would be in the middle of the screen?
Yes!. The next version will be use fullscreen render. So you can set the value of SmartToolkit Start Menu size and position.
Defaultly, the next version of SmartToolkit render the current screen dc with gausiar blur, and the start-menu position will be set via skinning script. But next version script will be so different with current skin scripting. It should use the absolute position for x,y,width and height. See the example:
[StartMenu]
; ContentPosition : The menu will be placed at. (x,y,w,h)
ContentPosition = 30, 20, 200, 300
; ShowNextMenu : Is another menu will showing when you accessing some menu?
; Left content is quickLaunch and Search, Right content is My Documents, Control
; Panel, etc
ShowNextMenu = 1
; Drawing Method
; Draw = filename, dx, dy, w, h, sx, sy
Draw = "background.png", 28, 18, 204, 304, 0, 0
Draw = "styles.png", 128, 20, 30, 20, 0, 0
All script and Image must be archived into the ZIP.
You can even add your picture out of start menu boundary like in vista start menu...
2: whether it will be possible to transfer the diet above right softkeyem would be shown in the middle of the screen?
I will think about it. Maybe the setting can be like the start menu scripting...
3: whether the belt of the start will be taken in this way its icon would be put in the middle screens as in windows mobiles 7?
Yes, you can use the script like this:
[StartUI]
Draw = "startui.png",90,0,40,40,0,0
[StartUIDown]
; Get start 20 pixel from the source image, so it show up
Draw = "startui.png",90,0,40,40,0,20
But you can't place the start ui out of softkey boundary. But you can add some image in StartMenu so it will look like what you want (your image number 3).
Here the skinning category for next version:
- Bar : For SmartBar (in previous version is Taskbar/Deskbar)
- TrayBar : For top/icon bar
- SoftkeyBar : For Softkey
- SoftkeyDownLeft : For downed Left softkey
- SoftkeyDownRight : For downed Right softkey
- StartMenu : For start menu
- StartUI : for smartbar start menu icon
- StartUIDown: for downed smartbar start menu icon
- TrayLayout : for Iconing and text positioning of top bar. (Tray the Test global skinning on Test Center.)
- AltTabBox : for skinning the Alt+Tab like features.
and maybe i will add the TaskMenu skinning.
But the program is still way to go about 3 or 4 month to completely finished. For current version, it is not possible to implemented your idea.
Thanks for your suggestion.
