Description

When you start ceOpener, the taskbar will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. There is a "Start" button on the left end of the taskbar, and a list of running applications is displayed next to it.

Plugin

ceOpener can extend its functionality by adding plugins. In addition, Grain/Ho's 2nd generation and later compatible versions include all plug-ins from the beginning.

Localize Patch
A plug-in that applies Japanese fonts to the CE environment.
Input Switch
This is a plug-in for Japanese input. On the 2nd generation (models with a sub-touch panel), the input character is switched from the sub-touch panel, and on the 3rd generation or later, the key assigned in the ceOpener setting is used to switch the input character. When entering Japanese, you can use the space key to convert to kanji. Also, in 3rd generation or later, you can enter symbols by unchecking "Use sub-touch panel".
KeyBinder
A plugin that assigns keys. You can set keys that are not on Brain's keyboard and keys that can be assigned to running apps, etc. There is also an import/export function for assignment states.
Opener Shot
A plugin that allows you to take screenshots. Create a folder to save screenshots, register it in the OpenerShot settings, and set the key to use for capture from "Settings" -> "Key Assignment".
Power Manager
A plug-in that configures settings such as power management and brightness adjustment.
Opener Pointer
A virtual cursor plug-in for models without a touch panel.

In a text editor such as KN MemoPad, write like a vertical column of "color scheme" and save it in ceOpener\colors with the extension .dat. In the "RRGGBB" part, specify the color in hexadecimal numbers like HTML/CSS, and represent red, green, and blue by two digits from the beginning. An example is shown below.

Key assignment

System Requirements

Windows CE 6.0

Installation Instructions

Download ceOpener from the above URL and unzip it.

First, download Task Switcher and unzip it.

If you want to use MS Gothic as the system font, run "MS UI Gothic.bat" in Task Switcher's FONTS, and if you want to use Meiryo, run "Meiryo UI.bat" on your PC. Then, a patched font file called "jptahoma.ttc" is created. Copy that font into the ceOpener's fonts folder. If the font is ttf, name the output "jptahoma.ttf". If you have additional fonts (TTF/TTC) that you want to use, copy those font files to the fonts folder of ceOpener as well.

In addition, Meiryo is a font designed with anti-aliasing in mind, so if you use it normally in Brain, which is disabled by default, it will look ugly. After enabling anti-aliasing with reference to ResetKit and performing a soft reset, starting ceOpener will make the display somewhat cleaner. In this case, please do not start ceOpener before soft reset.
wallpaper

By placing his JPEG image that matches the screen size of your electronic dictionary in the wallpaper folder of ceOpener, you can add your favorite image to the wallpaper. Since the wallpaper size from the beginning does not match with the 3rd generation or later, download the wallpaper that fits the screen size of the 3rd generation or later from here. Of course, you can also put your own 800x480 image.
How to install

You can install it by connecting your PC and Brain and copying the ceOpener folder to Brain's "Apps" folder. For 4th generation, please follow the app launch method.

If the dictionary app cannot be found (when the dictionary app is closed), a warning will appear. Also, although the app was developed for Brain, it works on normal Windows CE as well, although there are warnings.
