Christian,
can I use Total Commander's icon?

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, you may use the Total Commander icon for things which are related to Total Commander. I recommend that you modify it, though, so your plugin can be distinguished from others. Immagine that all file system plugins would show up with the TC icon in network neighborhood - not really useful for the user...

You are right, I will do it. Thank you.

Not working under WinXP SP2 Pro (Polish). WBX.exe seems to close after executing TC. If you'd like to I can send you Filemon log.

WBX.exe should close after executing TC. The whole interface code is executed by TC itself. That's why call it Total Commader's interface, not tool that allows loading some special dlls.
Did you read the quick start guide?

Did you read the quick start guide?

Yes, I did.
Plugins folder exists as subfolder of %COMMANDER_PATH%. Configuration section added to wincmd.ini file. WBX.exe double-clicked. Nothing happens with title bar.

How do you normally start Total Commander?
Do you specify path to wincmd.ini in TC's command line?

[fenix_productions]

I've got TC installed under d:\totalcmd and always starting using desktop shortcut which points to TC executable. For this plugin I've been trying to run wbx.exe using explorer window. I've even tried to starting only TC.
Please connect with me (if you want to) via #TCMD channel or ICQ to keep this thread clean.

It works fine here.
Can you send your starter.ini?
What windows version do you use?

Small update
Fixed several minor bugs + one that caused fenix_productions' wincmd.ini's path to be detected incorrectly.
Is still has important bug in TitleBar.wbx. Did anybody see RegQueryValueExW returning ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION?

Still nothing. Can you contact me by email or ICQ? I'll send you test version of the plugin that will possibly tell me what's going on.
