UPSTREAM GPE RELEASES

gpe-buttonbox-0.5.tar.bz2 163 KB
minimix-0.6.tar.bz2 54 KB
The upstream releases of the components whose PSION versions are lost.
Psion's own gpe-appmgr and gpe-buttonbox came from their private CVS --
cvs.psiondev.com, recipe tag GPE_APPMGR_56 -- which no longer exists and was
never archived. These upstream tarballs are the nearest surviving relatives
and are the starting point from which the launcher and dock in the released
images were reconstructed.
WHAT THE RECONSTRUCTION ADDED, WHICH IS NOT IN THESE TARBALLS
The right-hand TODAY / PROGRAMS / TASKS strip, rotated vertically.
The red power button at its foot, and its suspend action.
The Today screen as the startup view.
The category rows with rotated OFFICE / INTERNET / PIM / OTHER labels.
All of that was written for this project and measured against the
prototype photograph in 5-REFERENCE/ui-photos/. The modified source is
in 4-BUILD-SYSTEM/gpe-src/base/gpe-appmgr/, principally row_view.c.
It is an imitation of photographs, not Psion's code, and the icons Psion
drew for it are gone.
minimix is the volume applet in the dock and is upstream unmodified; Psion
listed it in psion-media.
