Smartbuttons?

Published on May 31, 2002 By skotos90 In WinCustomize Talk

I don't get the smart buttons. I can't figure out how to use them and there is nothing in the help file about them. Anyone know what they do and how they work?

They're a configurable plug in. You need the registered version of WB for them to work.

Go into the WB configuration screen and there's a button on the left for the smartbutton menu. Once you're there, it's pretty obvious how to set them up. There's a choice of several things you can make them do like show the quick-launch menu or be a hyperlink, rollup button...

I do have a registered version. But I cant figure out what they do. They dont appear to do anything. I am seeing a message that says current skin does not support smart buttons. But I havent been able to find any skins that support it. And there is no documentation about smart buttons. Help!

ahhh - If it says the skin doesn't support smart buttons then that's the problem. The smart buttons have to be added to the skin by the skin author. It's a very new feature so there are not many skins that incorporate them. If you want to see what they do download SETI green (or glass) - that's the only skin I know for sure has them. I'll go look for some others, I know there were a few of the GUI Olympics submissions that had them.

Here are all the skins that specifically mention having smart buttons in their description (going back to January):

Starone: Palo Duro / Misty Morning / Silver Doe / Fiber Optic Angel / Country Metal / Provicially Fishy

Adni18: Epsilon / Design1 / XP Professional v3

Treetog: Olympics OS

DavidK: SETI green / SETI glass

There could be many more that didn't mention it in the description. (actually mine don't but I knew they had the feature...) Sorry if I missed any, if anyone knows of others please list them here...
