ScrBtn (Screen Button) is a quick launcher without annoying waiting time on start up, though you have to add your favourite applications to it manually.

Cannot directly find SD Card applications, but can invoke those via RAM-based "shortcuts" created by other programs. See the included README.TXT for instructions.

Revision History

v2.41

• FIX: On some mahines, changing to Button Settings will halt or reset the system.
• IMPROVE: Rearrange the Treo indicators to | Bluetooth | Signal Level | Battery | order.
• FIX: Found a memory leak when display icons. I had recoded the mechanism and the icon drawing is now faster and more power saving.
• ADD: Under the new "Swap Mode", you can swap OSBs between different categories. (This is a simplified "Drag and Drop" ability.)

20051016 v2.33

• FIX 5-Way Navigator's center(select) button now works right in "preset behaviors". (Thanks to haha for first reporting and sorry for your inconvenience. I don't have Treo or TT, so cannot notice the flaws of 5-Way in my daily use.)
• CHANGE Direction buttons (on 5-Way Nav or the PageUp PageDown) will repeat every half second. If you use "preset behaviors" of 5-Way, the press of direction button will remain move the focus, but when you hold it, the repeat action will use the setting you set in Button Settings. (Under risumfiriri's suggestion. This feature lets you to use "preset behaviors" and use directions to change category at the same time.)
• NOTICE If you set a hard button to ScrBtn in system prefs, then in ScrBtm press this button will not launch ScrBtn. The reason is that ScrBtm.prc actually launchs ScrBtn.prc to perform its behavior and system will not launch ScrBtn again. So you have to explicitly set that hard button to launch ScrBtn in the Button Settings of ScrBtm. By the way, there are no problem launching ScrBtm from ScrBtn. (Thanks to minimi for reporting)

20050827 v2.32

• ADD Support Treo's 5-Way Navigator now. (thanks to Joel and moe for reporting)
• ADD Preset behaviors of 5-Way Navigator on interactive with OSBs. (under Monster's suggestion)
• AND Thanks to Forum PalmIsLife.com for discuss this version!

20050731 v2.31beta

• ADD Show icon for application on card after you manually tap the push button named "Icon" to cache the icon in database "ScrBtnDB_Ico" in RAM. (under risumfiriri and Howard's suggestion)
• ADD ScrBtm: A clone of ScrBtn, depending on ScrBtn but using another set of databases ("ScrBtmDB" vs "ScrBtnDB") and different CreatorID ("SrBm" vs "SrBn", which means you can delete ScrBtm without affecting files of ScrBtn). The usage of ScrBtm is that you can map another hard-button to ScrBtm as an alternative to "using different buttons to launch ScrBtn with different categories". (under MG's suggestion)
• IMPROVE RAM requirement when initialize Button Setting Form reduced. (thanks to Joshua Cook for reporting)
