Number of Badges

Shedko Badges is a great application but there's a thing that annoys me - the number of badges. Is there any way to include more than 10 badges in a theme? like 20 or so... cause 10 badges is a bit little for me.

EDIT - i found out that microsoft doesn't allow more than 15 overlay icons. it would be nice though, when you could use more than 10 badges. any way to bypass this restriction?

And perhaps a theme could include custom badge names that match with the icons in it. so the user doesn't have to change the names from the language file... (although this could make things a bit hard for other languages when the custom badge names in a theme are in english only)

Current way to customize names of badges is a only temporary solution, because we are do not planed this feature, while release current version, but yes this is a good idea. Must be in next version.

Other ideas

oh well... 10 is OK too.

I was wondering, since we're already messing with the overlay icons, maybe is there a possibility to add the system overlay icons into Shedko Badges too. so that we can put them to custom locations ourselves and change their look by creating our own replacements for them. (Shedko badges themes that have also replacements for system overlay icons.)
Would it be possible to do that? It would be cool.

Re: Number of Badges

At my opinion, this is not good way, because many users may do not understand "where is my shortcut icon". smile

But for version 2.X we are planed feature:
15-20 categories of badges, and user may enable/disable any requied categories.
And you may try to enable more than 10 badges.

Re: Number of Badges

yeah, i guess you're right, I didn't think about that.

just one more idea - maybe add an option to display a badge for empty folders.
so that if the folder is empty, there will be an "empty" badge displayed on it. unless there is a badge associated with the folder already.
I would definitely use it. Naturally, this should be completely optional since some users might not like this feature.
not sure if this idea fits the program though.

anyway, thanks for the attention and looking forward to the next version smile
