> Setting Background Converting Background Image: ZLauncher can directly convert BMP/PGP/JPG files into background image databases. There's 3 ways for converting your own background image files: Drag a supported picture file to the Create BackImage/ShortCut button of the Card Tools Panel , then it will be converted into a background image, and set as the current background image automatically. Tap on the supported picture file for one second, then select Back Image from the popup menu. Then it will be converted into a background image, and set as the current background image automatically. Go to the Theme Manager, then open the BackImage, select a picture file, then tap the Select button from the pop up Operating Dialog. When you tap the OK button to exit the Theme Manager, the selected picture file be converted into a background image, and set as the current background image automatically. Note: The JPG support requires Sony JpegUtil Library or JpegLib. Sony JpegUtil Library is a built-in library on some Sony Clie handhelds(NR series and Clie T650C/T665C/T675C and all Clie OS5 models). However, if you install the Sony JpegUtil Library(JEPG_Library.prc and JPEG_Util_Library.prc) to your handheld, the JPG support maybe work on the handheld(except for other OS5 handhelds than the Clie ones). You can find the Sony JpegUtil Library in the ROM of the above listed handheld models. NOTE: WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING THE Sony JpegUtil Library, YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. JpegLib for Palm is a PalmOS port of the Independent JPEG Group JpegLib, which is ported by Yves Piguet. JpegLib for Palm can be used on all handheld models. You can visit http://www.nyctergatis.com/jpeglib/index.html for the latest news of JpegLib for Palm. Sony JpegUtil Library is much faster than JpegLib, so if Sony JpegUtil Library is available on your handheld, you don't need to install JpegLib. Sony JpegUtil Library dose not support progressive Jpeg files. If you want to convert progressive Jpeg files, you need to install JpegLib. If the background image database is converted in the Theme Manager, it will be marked as a temporary background image. Once you change to other background image, temporary background image will be deleted from RAM automatically. If you want to use it on other handhelds, you need to first copy it from RAM to the expansion card via ZLauncher, so that ZLauncher can mark it as a normal background image so that it won't be deleted on other handhelds. If you want to get the best quality of the converted back image, you should change the display color to the proper depth before converting the image. For example, if the picture file is 16-bit color depth, you should change the display mode to 64K colors mode before the conversion. If the current display color depth is less than the color depth of the background image, it will not be available. For example, if the color depth of the background image is 16-bit, and the current display color depth is 8-bit(256 colors), then the background image will not be displayed. Modifying the picture files on desktop computer before the conversion is recommended. If there is no expansion card available for your handheld, you can convert the picture file in PalmOS Emulator which can do the job, then export the converted background image database from the PalmOS Emulator, and synchronize it to your handheld. ZLauncher supports all color depths of supported picture files. No exact dimension limitation for the picture files. If the background image is smaller than the screen, ZLauncher will tile the background image to full fill the screen. To import BMP/JPG files to the expansion card, you can use some 3rd-party software such as SyncWizard, Card Export, PalmDisk. If you are using a Sony Clie, you also can use MS Import/Data Import. You also can import picture with Quick Install Tool which is bundled with PalmDesktop 4.1. Importing the picture files to the /Palm/Programs/ZLauncher/BackImage/ directory is recommended, so that the Theme Manager can recognize them. If you don't have an expansion card on your handheld, you can try PalmRAMDisk to create a virtual expansion card, then import picture files onto the virtual expansion card and then convert the pictures into background image databases. You may also try ZLauncher Background Converter by Robert Eaton, to easily create ZLauncher background image on MS Windows. Setting Current Background Image: You can change the background image with the installed images. Go to the Theme Manager, then open the BackImage page, select one of the list background image, then tap the OK button. WARNING: Do NOT insert or remove the expansion card when it is busy to avoid any damage to it.
> Adjusting Detail View In Detail View, you may notice that some contents you are interest in are truncated. If you do want to display all of a truncated content, you can adjust the width of the corresponding title button to change the width of whole column. For example: As the illustration below, the name of Memo Pad application is truncated since the its width is wider than the Name column's First, tap on the line between Name button and Creator button: Now, an inverted vertical line appears. Then drag the line to right: When the stylus moves a certain distance( enough for displaying whole name of Memo Pad), release the stylus and the Name column is become wider. The name of Memo Pad is no longer truncated.
> Hiding Hiding Application/Database in RAM:Each PalmOS database has its own database attributes. One of them - Hidden attribute - decides whether the database is visible. Modifying the Hidden attribute of a database can make it visible or invisible. You can change the attributes of database in the Database Information form. Dragging a database to Information button can call up the Database Information form. If the application to be hidden is in RAM. Selecting the Attrs select trigger will call up the Database Attributes form. You can hide the application by checking the Hidden box, or uncheck the Hidden box of a hidden application to make it visible. This function is also available for the databases in RAM. Hiding Application in ROM: In Database Information of the ROM-based application, you'll see a box named Hide near by Attrs. Checking it will hide the application in ZLauncher. This feature is only available in ZLauncher. Hiding File/Directory: Similar to database, file also has the Hidden attribute, and the operation of modifying file's attributes is similar to the operation on database too. Dragging the file/directory to File Information button can call up the File Information form. Modify the Hidden attribute can make the file/directory visible or invisible. To display the hidden items, check the box of Show Hidden Items in ZL Preferences. WARNING: Do NOT modify the attributes of database/file if you don't know the exact signification of them. Any modification may cause the crash with other applications. Hiding Tab: Go to Tab Properties, check the box of Hide to mark the current tab as hidden tab. If you want to display the hidden tab, go to ZL Preferences, check the box of Show Hidden Tabs, or select the menu command Tab > Show Hidden Tab.
> Rearrange Tabs: Drag the source tab title to the destine tab title, then the source tab will be moved to the destine position.
> Creating ShortCut: There're two types of shortcut in ZLauncher: (Real)ShortCut and Virtual ShortCut. ShortCut: ShortCut is a real PalmOS application. You can use it insider or outside ZLauncher. ShortCut can trick most conduits, so even the application is stored on the expansion card, the application's conduit still can interact with the shortcut. You also can assign a shortcut to a hardware button. You can create shortcut for any application on any location of the expansion card. To create shortcut for a card application, just go to the expansion card tab and find out the application, then drag the application to the Create BackImage/ShortCut button of the Card Tools Panel. You also can first tap on the file for one second, then select ShortCut from the pop up menu. A shortcut takes up several KB of RAM. Virtual ShortCut: Virtual ShortCut is a linkage to the application which is stored in /Palm/Launcher/. Virtual ShortCut is only available in ZLauncher. You don't need to manually create virtual shortcut for applications in /Palm/Launcher/, when you perform Refresh Apps, ZLauncher will create virtual shortcuts for all applications in /Palm/Launcher/.
