iLauncher: meter bar on top of screen disappearance

houtsma · 11-20-05, 08:16 AM

Hi,

I have enabled the meter bar on the top of the screen (above the title bar). When i select that bar and get the options (battery, memory, none etc.) and i select none, the bar disappears (as it should). ut there is no way to get it back without a soft reset. Also not when i go into the ilauncher settings and enable it from the settings menu. It doesn't come back until i do a soft reset.

Besides that and my preious post about the left soft button changing into "Notifications" when the meter is activated, it's a great piece of software for my Axim X51V.

Thanks,
jan

There are two iLauncher settings for REFRESH. Do you have them both enabled? And are you running the latest V2.2?

It's because of Magic Button not being compatible with top meter and vise versa, hopefully trhe next version will fix this

Is this a WM5-specific issue?

Nope, ther is a workaround , by not checking the Autostart (after softreset) box and starting the MB after ther iLauncher is on, but that's the best can be done for now; WM3se and WM5 -wise

Hmmm. I run the iLauncher power bar, have Magic Button installed, with the Auto Start box checked, run WM2003.2, and have had no problems with the Power bar disappearing.

I guess I have never set it to "none".

check this out:
this one is when MB is autostarted

and this one is when it's started manually after SR
If you found a way around this I'd love to know

i use a freeware called "powerstatus" that puts a battery bar and a memory bar on top of screen, and you can turn it on and off without soft reset. great piece of software at only 4 kb for file size.

Yes i know that one and I use RegTweak But the question was on the iLauncher so i activated it

Since I did a full restore from Sprite Backup of my X50V, when I soft reset Pocket Informant auto starts and Pocket Breeze is active, but iLauncher is not active.

I run iLauncher as a Pocket Breeze tab (and load system tray icons, too).

When I tap on the Pocket Breeze tab for iLauncher it tells me it is loading, then loads and both the system tray icons and the power bar are also there.

aha I too use it as a tab for PB so I guess your workaround is in Setiings>tweaks? how do you postpone th iL load?

AKAJohnDoe · 11-20-05, 07:03 PM

I'm trying to find that myself, as I really don't want the iLauncher load to be deferred, nor do I want Pocket Informant to automatically load.

AKAJohnDoe · 11-20-05, 07:16 PM

I found a shortcut in \Windows\Startup\ that I removed. This eliminated the automatic startup of Pocket Informant.

This is what is left in the startup directory:

i don't see how this affects iL...

The thing is: MB has to load after il
