Halo 2 Modding StartBar

DarkShallFall · Post by **DarkShallFall** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:49 pm

This program was created by me with some help from Detox.
To use this application you need to have .Net 3.5

The application only works for the screen Resolution of 1280 by 1024 for now I will try to update it to work on all soon.

The quick launch has 5 applications listed. Entity 1.4, Entity UE 1.6 Prophet 1.0, Serenity 3.0 and UberScreenShotTool.

There is a settings Form that will allow you to enter your Ftp information, Clean/Unmodded maps folder, and Your Display name for the StartBar menu.

To the far right of the StartBar is an Arrow pointing down if that is clicked then the application will hide. When it is clicked theres an arrow pointing up in its place to unhide the StartBar.

There is a built in resigner that will open an OpenFileDialog and it will allow you to locate the map you'd like signed.

I also built in a Google search function on the StartBar that will allow you to search anything. The search page will open in your default WebBrowser.

There is built in browsers for both HaloMods and Remnant forums.

I run on the same resolution as you, and it looks great.
This is actually extremely cool.
Great job!

i like it part from the fact that it takes up room at the bottom of your screen...

imo it would be better as a system tray icon rather than a bar

not a bad idea, I myself favour a toolbar full of short cuts although I really like the google search pane

have you tried auto hiding the windows taskbar and seeing if this takes it's place?

Theres a minimize button. Dark I told you you should've waited one more day so I could've shown you how to do things for different resolutions...

This is a nice idea and all but i'd rather use iGeo's tutorial if anything. It cuts down on the workload and takes up close to no room and runs on any resolution.

WOW, That is a great idea. I give it a thumbs up
