Removing the alarms plugin
Nokia seem to have included an unfinished applet that opens the clock app, to hide it, you may move the .desktop file <source lang="bash"> devel-su #etner root pass mv /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.desktop /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.disabled </source>
To make it visible again: <source lang="bash"> devel-su #etner root pass mv /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.disabled /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions/statusindicatormenu-alarms.desktop </source>
Plugins
Here is a list of plugins currently available for unrestricted-system-ui:
Developers
Developers who plan to make status menu plugins should have unrestricted-system-ui in their debian/control Depends: line, this is to prevent user confusion and make it easier for the developer to support the user.
Plugins need to be installed in /usr/lib/meegotouch/applicationextensions/
.desktop files for the plugins need to be installed in /usr/share/meegotouch/applicationextensions
Please follow this naming scheme so it's easier for the user to distinguish plugins.
For the lib: libstatusindicatormenu-foobar.so
For the desktop file: statusindicatormenu-foobar.desktop
where foobar can be replaced with anything.
Here's a sample .desktop file <source lang="ini"> [Desktop Entry] Type=X-MeeGoApplicationExtension Name=Foo Bar Status menu plugin
[X-MeeGoApplicationExtension] Interface=com.meego.core.MStatusIndicatorMenuExtensionInterface/1.0 Extension=libstatusindicatormenu-foobar.so </source>
Restarting the status menu
At certain times, you may want to restart the status menu. Please be aware that restarting it successively may result in a reboot (by dsme/watchdog). You can restart the applet as user or root, the method to do that differs for each user.
As root
<source lang="bash"> /sbin/stop xsession/sysuid /sbin/start xsession/sysuid </source>
As user
<source lang="bash> killall sysuid </source>
