[edit] About

The Status Icon plugin is a plugin which adds a new column to the torrents view providing a "status" indicator - where each state that a torrent can be in has its own icon. The status text is shown as a tooltip when you hover over the icon.

Perhaps a picture would make it clearer? Here's a screenshot of the plugin (with "Determination - Comfort" skin): Image:Status icon 1.png

[edit] Skins

This page shows what skins are included by default with the plugin. You can currently use any skin currently intended for the µTorrent client.

[edit] Thanks

Thanks to Determination, fractalnoise and iconaholic for letting me use their skins, and thanks to The_8472 for doing the German translation of the plugin.

[edit] Mini FAQ

No-one's asked these questions yet, but just in case they do...

[edit] Why do you use µTorrent skins?

When I first wrote the plugin, I just wanted some icons to test it with (I didn't really want to make my own ones). But then I decided to actually spend the time to make it compatible with µTorrent skins, so I didn't have to come up with my own skins.

[edit] Why don't you use your own skin format?

That's something I intend to do. It'd be nice to hear what sort of things people may want to include the status icon indicator, and then I can come up we can come up with our own skin format, rather than having to use the µTorrent format.

[edit] Can I customise other parts of the Azureus UI with this plugin?

No - plugin API for Azureus doesn't allow that at the moment.

[edit] Future Changes

  • Health colour icon overlay (screenshot here).
  • Health colour used for row (screenshot here).
  • New custom skin definition set (needs more decision about it)
    • Include "disk checking" icon.
    • (Any more suggestions?)
