Bluetooth Toggle: The Second non-OEM Mobility Center Tile
Back in December, I put out the first non-OEM Windows Mobility Center tile that enabled users to control the state of the display, along with source code to both the tile and the bundled installer. Convinced it didn’t catch on, I abandoned the idea long ago.
A few days ago, Scott Kurth shot me a few notes announcing the availability of his new tile that lets you control the state of your Bluetooth adapter. A screen-shot, of which I had to wrestle out of Scott’s Flickr account, has been glued below. Great job Scott!
Feel free to download his tile (~1.6MB) and/or all the associated source code (~0.25MB). Neither of us are responsible if your computer turns into blue cheese.

Kudos to you Rafael for bringing the Mobility Center tweaks to the forefront. As a Boot Camp (2.1) user, the enhancement you originally offered, followed by Scott’s bluetooth tile was exactly what I needed. It is a shame that further development on WMC customization isn’t utilized. I originally stumbled on Scott’s response in the Apple discussion forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1440935&tstart=135), but I was a bit confused that Scott pointed to your first post (http://www.withinwindows.com/2007/12/21/the-first-non-oem-static-windows-mobility-center-tile/). The display toggle was nice, but I did not see any mention of the bluetooth toggle tile. After more searching, I found this post. Unfortunately, the thread appears to have died before Scott could update it. I’m not at the level of a programmer, so thank whatever the patron saint is of IT that y’all provided an installer. I’ve got a MacBook Pro running Vista Enterprise SP1, and Scott’s msi didn’t pooch or blue cheese my OS. It works like a charm. Thanks again to the both of you.
In any case, I’d love to see the thread resurrected; there’s nothing worse than an unanswered or abandoned posting.
Cheers,
John
