BBSlit

From BB4Win Wiki

bbSlit is a plugin that functions as a container for other plugins. The user cannot see BBSlit until a plugin has been placed inside it. This plugin is not needed for xoblite because the slit has been coded into the core of the shell itself.

[edit] Installation and Configuration

It installs like any other plugin, No special installation task is required. The following configuration for the Slit can be placed in blackbox.rc.

session.screen0.slit.placement:         CenterLeft
session.screen0.slit.direction:         Vertical
session.screen0.slit.autoHide:          true
session.screen0.slit.ontop:             true
session.screen0.slit.toggle:            false

You can also configure the Slit by right clicking on it. Remember to right click on the border, it a plugin is taking the whole space.

[edit] Loading a plugin into Slit

In order to load a plugin into Slit, all you need to do is to put an & symbol in front of it in the plugins.rc. Below is a snippet from a plugins.rc that loads BBSlit then load BBMail into the Slit.

plugins\bbSlit\BBSlit.dll
&plugins\bbMail\BBMail.dll

If you load multiple plugins, they will appear in the slit in the order they are loaded. If you load a plugin that is not designed to be loaded into Slit, you will get an error message when BBLean starts.
