If you're an existing user of ExtraBars V1.00 beta build 117 then it is recommended that you
delete the icons within the \system\apps\extrabars\data folder (files with .ico extension)
before installing this version. This is to refresh your icons with newer versions that
enable ExtraBars to refresh it's bars faster.
How to install ExtraBars.
===================
ExtraBars is broken up into seperate SIS files to ease installation and de-installation of EB and it's components.
All EPOC+Plus applications (EB, BL+, Shortcut) require the following SIS file/s:-
- EPOCPlusOPX.sis
- EScript.sis
All EPOCPlus applications require this SIS file to be installed.
The remaining SIS files are used to install ExtraBars, EScript and the Macro5 library
- Extrabars.sis - Required
- Macro5lib.sis - To enable Macro5 support within ExtraBars (optional)
To install, shut down all applications and documents on the EPOC machine and run the following files in this order:-
EPOCPlusOPX.sis
EScript.sis
ExtraBars.sis
Macro5lib.sis
(Please ensure you close all applications on the EPOC machine before you install. This is to ensure that the SIS installation process can overwrite files correctly.
In addition, EMACROS.ZIP contains some sample EScript and Backlite+Plus macros to use with ExtraBars.
M5MACROS.ZIP contains some sample Macro5 macros for ExtraBars. You may need to specify the default macro folder within the preferences to run some of these macros.
