Minor update to the previous 1.0.7 release.
The 1.0.8 release incorporates some minor GUI tweaks along with a postrm script that will unhide any applets that the subapplet was managing when the package is uninstalled.
Release available from here (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104760&package_id=112700&release_id=235729)
If you\'ve got 1.0.7 already installed there\'s probably not much reason for upgrading.

Cool, I love this little sub applet. Thanks for making it.

Well cwaig proved it could be done in a discussion on the old community site and I took it from there....

I got it build using OpenEmbedded - needed files sent to OE list.

i\'m having a problem on installing subapplet v1.0.7 previously on oz v336. I\'ve tried the subapplet on tkc rom before, cool applet. Keep up the good work. Feel free to advise me. Thanks

Well the guy who\'s post is just above you is more active in the OZ/OE side of things than I am has built at least an OZ3.3.6pre1 ipk of the 1.0.7 SubApplet. I have a copy of that ipk at the sourceforge site, and you can find his website here (http://www.hrw.one.pl/zaurus/). Some of the gui tweaks are those he did for the 1.0.7 OE version.

One problem I had with subapplet (otherwise an excelelnt applet) is that the \"chevron\" icons are too tall -- they increase the heeight of the taskbar a few pixels beyond the size of the qtopa icon, at least on teh 5600 --, and is wider than I like, taking space from other applets or running applications.
I fixed this simply by scaling the two icons subapplet uses.

thanks tecknobabble. I\'ve went to the http://www.hrw.one.pl/zaurus/ (http://www.hrw.one.pl/zaurus/) before. what do you mean by \"Tweaked SubApplet package for OpenZaurus 3.3.6-pre1 (or other systems based on GCC 3.x) (may be hard to install)\"?
I\'ve tried to install using ipkg but there is a problem.
ipkg install -d sd subapplet_1.0.7-r0_arm.ipk
Cannot find package subapplet_1.0.7-r0_arm.ipk.
Check the spelling or perhaps run \'ipkg update\'
Guide appreciated.

ipkg 0.99.85 from OZ 3.3.6-pre1 suxx totally.
You have few choices:
1. install ipkg 0.99.121 from OE
2. unpack ipk on desktop and move files by hand
3. move ipk into Documents/ and install using aqpkg from \"Local packages\"
4. create feed with this ipk
First choice is the best.

Worse case do it by hand. A copy of the OZ3.3.6pre1 ipk I was sent is on sourceforge: subapplet_1.0.7-oz336pre1_arm.ipk (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/subapplet/subapplet_1.0.7-oz336pre1_arm.ipk?download).
As I recall OZ uses ar archives, so you can then do:
cd /tmp
ar xvf subapplet_1.0.7-oz336pre1_arm.ipk
which will give you 3 files, of which the data.tar.gz file is the most important. Here\'s a list of its contents:

Place the pics in the appropriate pics location and the shared library and its links in their place. Don\'t have an OZ/OE zaurus yet, but you should find that /opt/QtPalmtop is either a real dir or a symbolic link to somewhere..... Reboot the zaurus.... Bob, will then be your sister\'s brother.... Hopefully Any OZ/OE wielding zaurus person will hopefully correct any inaccuracies.....

Subapplet v1.0.7 in both rotation modes
Config screen is cut off about half way throught the slider bar. Applet \"box\" is same size as other screens just nothing showing below the \"cut off\" line.
Otherwise - magnifique!

Well do have plans to get myself one of those one of these days.... unless someone wishes to lend me one :-)
The 1.0.8 version has changes to the GUI layout which might make a difference - will try to use as much space as it can get its hands on. Give it a try if there is still a problem send me a screen shot and I can see if I can work out what is wrong.
There seems to be something odd when you rotate a 5XXX....can\'t seem to get it to behave, always a bit of the dialog hidden under the taskbar - which doesn\'t happen in normal portrait mode.

No joy, tecknobabble. Can see the difference you mention but no change in problem. Wheres the best place to send you the screen shots? I have v1.0.7 & v1.0.8 in all 3 rotation modes.

Hummmm. Not that I\'m an expert, but shouldn\'t that be:
\"Bob, will then be your mother\'s brother\"? (aka \"Bob\'s yur uncle\") <G>.
