I know there was discussion at great length involving Guino, Sonic and Blue.... I just dont know what the final out comes was, if there was one....

I lose Powermon with this one. I'd like to keep that if I can.

oh ya, here's a screeny with the logos (some have been modified...) :

works great! thanks

there was no end result to the conversation.. it was addressed but i dont think guino ever did anything with it. I for one dont like the way plugins are loaded to begin with. Load a skin with x,PLUGIN, then change skins and that plugin doesnt continue to function unless the next skin has X,PLUGIN as well. I agree a plugin manager is needed.

I have like monkey incorporated RRGAS in sonique elite and all is well. Thanks enforcer!

maybe something in rr.ini? Not sure if we want it there, but it's a thought. As long as it doesn't get crazy like the current background situation (three or more different paths?)

It has to be the way the plugin is handling the Indicator code.

Having a quick look at the way RR handles the Indicator codes with regards to extensions, it looks like the plugin has to return one of the following

'false' - if the indicator is not processed by this plugin
'true' - if it is and it's to be changed to true.
path to graphic file - if it's to show a graphic.

Now if a plugin returns anything other than 'true' or 'false' that indicator path will take on that value as it's path.


so if a plugin has been written that doesn't have the line

ReturnIndicator = "False" as a default for when it doesn't process it, it will mess that indicator and anyone else's indicator up.

Also another possibility.

If the value of IND is changed in the plugins indicator routine, that will also change the name of the indicator that RR will look for.

Here is a screenie of a quick attempt at this gas plug in.
The right side buttons will change the info in the center box to the selected gas station and display the prices, distance, icon and address.
All the sort buttons are on the side. And the obvious down below.
I had some trouble getting the icons to display but taking monkeys advice, I loaded the gas pluggin last and it worked fine.
Thanks for this plug in, I have been missing this.

The only thing I dont like is that it displays the Gas station names in lower case, would be great if they were all uppercase.
