Dash2gam Setup, (3.0b +)) Small Howtos
« on: January 20, 2006, 06:20:00 PM »

hello ok, so ya want more tabs on the 'mainmenu' (that being the screen ya see when ya first load it)
OK everything in Dash2Gam is configurable, and all the configurable files are in /Dash2gam/2GAM.data/datas/config
and to be honest this can ALL be found out in the included readme, config_pro_eng.txt (found in the 'a lire' folder

first thing to do, is set up dash2gam so that it knows what/and were the apps are and what ya wanna call um
this is done in the file named Applications.xbc out of the pack this is whats there...
1=Xbmc
2=F:
3=Applications\Xbox Media Center
4=default.xbe

Now a description...
1=Evolution X ................ Enter the Application Title (e.g. 'Evolution X')
2=C: ......................... Enter the Drive where the Application directory is (eg: 'C:', 'E:', 'F:' or 'G:')
3=Dashboards\Evolutionx ...... Enter the Directory where the executable (.xbe) of the Application is (eg: for the directory Dashboards/Evolutionx/ enter 'Dashboards\Evolutionx'). Enter 'root' if the file is on root / of your drive.
4=evoxdash.xbe ............... Enter the name of the executable WITH extention (e.g. 'evoxdash.xbe')

now u can name/list as many 'aplication' as ya want here.. as long as the numbers follow on, (so the next app set up would be from 5 to 8, the next from 9 to 12 .. etc etc etc



ok now thats set up, we move onto the main menu file setup, this can be found in ConfigMenusMainMenu.xbc (same folder)
out of the pack this is whats there
1=1
2=non

3=Launch Menu
4=GoToMenuDD_2GAM

5=Media Center
6=xbmc

7=Memory
8=GoToMemory_2GAM

9=Music
10=GoToMusic_2GAM

11=SETTINGS
12=GoToSettings_2GAM

Now a description...
1=5 ............................ Number of teh tab that the dash starts on
2=oui/non ...................... Scrolling du text ?
3='Title Menu 1' .............. \
4=Action/Application Menu 1 ... | Each menu action is an [Application] or an [Action]
5='Title Menu 2' .............. |  can ya guess ?? .. the name ya want it to show a s!
6=Action/Application Menu 2 ... |
7='Title Menu 3' .............. |
8=Action/Application Menu 3 ... |
9='Title Menu 4' .............. |
10=Action/Application Menu 4 .. |
11='Title Menu 5' ............. |
12=Action/Application Menu 5 .. /

and believe me its ALL configurable !!
(the only thing this dash lacks is icons ! )
