Ideally the image should have some sort of GUI frontend and should work both on BBQL and on QPC
The only GUI that works on both without much hassle seems to be Launchpad, so I installed it and hit some snags, so I need your help:
1. Configure a desktop icon
The manual says:
Code: Select all
2.1.4.5 Option Command
Most program will not need this. Short strings may be passed to some programs as a 'command line option', usually stating some startup defaults or telling the program to load a particular file or use some given settings. Some of the programs in launchpad's accessories menu use a similar facility. The best way to explain this is with some examples using the EX command in BASIC. Some programs allow their default drives to be specified like this:
EX FLP1_MYPROG_EXE;'FLP1_'
A program called MYPROG_EXE is executed from FLP1_ and is told to use FLP1_ as its default drive.
By leaving the filename box empty in the Item Definition Form, you can set up a "type in" command for SuperBASIC or SBASIC (or any named job). Enter the command into the Option Command box. To send the command to BASIC, leave the Job Name box empty.
But if I leave FIlename empty and I configure the Command then BASIC is started, but the command is not passed to Basic and is not executed.
How can I use the Command property in order to lrun a basic program or to start aprograms with parameters? 2. Change the icons
The manual says:
Code: Select all
When you click on the Item Icon box in the form, a further screen comes up listing half of the available icons (to show the other half of the list click on the Page button at the top of the screen).
Is there a way to add icons to that list? or to change the icon with a different icon, one that is not shown on the icons page?
(I presume there is because on Dillwyn's page there are several zips with icons for Launchpad, but I cannot find how to use them) 3. Move/ Copy the icon to a different page
The manual says:
Code: Select all
Do (right click) on the original icon, select the COPY command from the menu which appears and then move the icon to the location where you'd like the copy to be placed. If you want the copy to go on a different desktop menu, move the icon to one of the four menu selection commands at the top right and click on the one required, which will display that particular desktop. Move the icon over the location where the new copy of the icon is to be placed and Hit or Do on that location. The definition is copied there.
Is this a bug or am I doing somethin wrong? 4. Change the theme
Running on QPC v5.01 SMSQE 3.38 8,16 or 32 bit colors, when I change the theme the new colors are not applyed. The only result is this: Is there a different way to change the theme/ colors?
5. Is there some other GUI frontend that works, without lots of configuring, both on BBQL and QPC2 colour modes?
