Today CommManager (skin BatteryStatus)

Hi,
Here's the last skin I made for BatteryStatus.
It's designed to be only a "Today CommManager", like Effcomm, but more graphical.
DiamondWSwitch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Features :
- toggle BT, WiFi and phone
- hold 1 second to have a little menu appear to select options concerning the item
Install :
- install batterystatus advanced (http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt.1.05.CAB)
- copy the dir and the XML file from the zip to \Windows\BatteryStatus
- change the theme in the options of BatteryStatus (Advanced Tab)
I also put the "older" version :
WirelessSwitch
Same features, same install, different look.
Tested on a Kaiser with stock ROM.
Enjoy

cool , super ton idée ton skin ..
it beautifull, great idée ;D

Very nice, looks great and works well. Great for people like me who are too lazy to open the real comm manager.

Cool, thanks!

just a question : what is the calendar plugin you use on the today in the DiamondWSwitch picture ?
I try to find something that will just display enough calendar info without scrolling bar on the right.
thanks

Bug feedback
Hi,
I'm using the Wireless Today Switch, which I think is fantastic, so thank you for the effort that went into making it. I have disabled the background by removing the line in the xml and the background png. I think it is line three. Anyway, one think I have noticed is that when you press and hold the phone button, whether the phone is on or not, the bottom option in the context menu is always "Turn off phone". The functionality works, i.e. it does switch the phone on when it's off, but the text is wrong. I'll have a look at it later myself but do you know an easy solution to this? I'll post the no background edit with a screen shot later today.
Cheers,

The single thing I did is the XML and the graphics, the other functions are Batterystatus's. So is this little bug

It's TodayAgenda. The great thing with this plugin, is that you can set a fix size... Set it to 62 and it's perfect

Screen shots & no background
Hi,
I've attached the edited skin with no background with a general screen shot and one of the menu error.

installed battery status. why dont i have the adcanced tab!!!!
i want to set the theme and i cant do it

Did you download the advanced version of Batterystatus ? (just click the link on the first post)

iPhone Theme/No WiFi (Perfect for HTC Touch)
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this seemed as appropriate a place as any to post this.
Though skinning and such is not my usual forte, I put enough work into this that it's only fair to share. This app was exactly what I was looking for when I decided I wanted a bluetooth on/off switch on my today screen... but, I really wanted it to match my iPhone icons. The result is attached. I've eliminated the wifi toggle since my HTC Touch has no wifi.

[Oct 22][Dev] PPClock - A Fullscreen Clock for your PocketPC

Inspiration:http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/10/19/diy_iphoneturnedalarmclock_stand-2.html
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

Alrighty: So, I gave up on looking for stuff, downloaded Basic4PPC, scraped up some of my old VB knowledge and got cracking. I'm now working on the application myself.
Basically, the feature list for this application would be:
Features
Fullscreen landscape mode
Configurable colours
Configurable fonts
Wishlist
Windows Alarm integration
Dim backlight to 20% while running
Button to enable Aeroplane Mode
The Features List is the must-haves, and the wishlist is the would-be-awesome-to-have.
The iPhone version charges $0.99 for the application. I'd gladly pay $5 for one for our PPC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's pretty much the feature list that I'm aiming for. Nice and simple. Working with text is a ***** though, Labels suck. Will be moving to something slightly more exotic I think instead.
What's Currently Working:
It displays time.
Simple colour customisation.
Simple gesture support.
What Needs To Be Done:
Change rendering engine: move to proper rendering so as to do rich text formatting.
Integrate some form of alarm functionality.
Adjust backlight
Some functions may be hard to do because of B4PPC, but we will see.
Post your requests here!

you can do whatever you want with tools like RLtoday, XIAMultitheme, SPBmobileshell, etc...

I know all about skinning today plugins and shells... this is slightly different
What I want to see is just an application that is plain fullscreen that displays the clock, and possibly will allow you to set alarms in it. Nothing fancy.
There doesn't seem to be anything like that for WinMo currently?

Kind of funny to tell someone what they can do with rlToday when they have an rlToday theme in their signature.
I would love to see something like this for the Tilt. Make a great travel clock.

Maybe this : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en

Simple Clock 0.1
here is a program i just made in .NET
Its called Simple Clock
Instructions :
Just extract it and run the exe on your ppc
Requirments :
Windows Mobile 5/6 & 6.1 (tested on WM 6.1, HTC Wizard)
.NET CF 2.0
Download:
see attached

this is really cool... hope someone develops it.

Same here hope someone develops this app very useful

Nice work ather! One step closer

See first post.

any screenshots?

If you *really* want to see how nasty it currently looks using Labels... sure, I'll post some up in a tick

ur Welcome, i'll try to do the wish list

If you could, I'd be ever greatful! I'm loving writing this app myself actually, although mine will be less featured than yours
Currently implementing gestures to launch configuration panels
I'll upload a screenshot in about 5 minutes.

Apologies for the double post: Screenshot is up.

Gestures are done for now. Down to Up opens the config menu, Up to Down closes the application.
I'm thinking left to right to go to another timezone perhaps?

Nice idea. This app should run always, so i think you should add your app to the S2U2 exclusion list (or however S2U2 works to prevent starting itself).
Are you going to add an option that the display is always on? Besides that it would be nice to adjust the backlight through the options so the battery drain can be controlled.

hmmm Gestures, nice idea..have u figured out the Colour and font changing ?

Changes :
added function to display Operator Name
Changed Background to Black and Clock to Red
Added Down Gesture for Exiting
Now full screen
Working on :
Dimming backlight
customization
Ps. if you want, i can make it to use a picture as a Background too

Not yet, but I have an idea.
Basic4PPC is a bit ick though, which is annoying me. It limits me.
What I'm thinking of doing is loading sprites in for the numbers, allowing people to create their own just using images.
Colours can possibly be done with some trickery using alpha channels.
Display always on? Piece of cake!
I'm just working on the config screen now, got all my variables set up for it so I can change it when I switch rendering modes.
I *still* have the issue that I don't have a license to use!

yrgo 2.3 beta 4

Hi all,
the new beta version of yrgo (2.3 beta 4) is prepared and has lot of new stuff. I'd be glad if you give me the feedback.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice that Default desktops settings probably doesn't fit to any other then 320x240 screens. It is beta so I haven't focus on this yet.
Almost 100% support of all possible resolutions (including VGA, Touch HD resolution, etc.). There are a few situations where yrgo will not drawn everything correctly.
Multilanguage support - I'll provide the translation tool soon on my forum.
Improved graphical rendering. Animations and scrolling should be faster.
New headline in menus showing clock, battery and signal level.
Today plug-in Gadget: ability to Share one instance of the plugin on several desktops - this repairs bugs with some plugins that weren't able to show correctly on several desktops (or in portrait and landscape mode). You can even set the size of the Today Plugin Gadget (some Today Plugins doesn't support resizing correctly).
New Desktop switcher gadget - in Design mode you can set an icon to every desktop in yrgo. This icon is then used with Desktop switcher gadget.
New Volume gadget - it currently doesn't show the Volume state (on, off, vibrate) - will be implemented later.
New Gadgets using actions history: Most used actions, Most used settings, Most used applications, Most used calls, Most written SMSes
Gadget clock allows to show digital clock using fancy pictures - just set clock to digital and then to "Graphical clock"
Gadget Date - you can set the format of the date using the same parameters as you use them in Regional settings.
Small information panel when yrgo is processing action that take more time.
Added shadow to the texts
New color themes
The list items can be again controlled by the keyboard
More smart installer - the installation is finished when run yrgo first - after that some unnecessary files are deleted so the yrgo takes less space on your PDA.
Repaired bug - in VGA mode the Gadgets in design mode drew an trail while moving them.
Repaired bug - the Gadgets were rearranged when trying to change landscape/portrait mode and using Non-FullScreen mode.
Repaired bug - sometimes yrgo catches "fake" clicks when accessing the context menu.
There were some another changes but I just forgot on them ;-).
Enjoy and let me know.
The downloadable zip can be found here.
Thank you.
Regards,
Luky

Nice app. Very finger friendly. Have been playing around with it for a few minutes so far. I'm enjoying it. Thanks!

Downloading now. I'll let you know how it goes...

for the first impression is very fast.

Hi nickytheshaft,
that's exactly what I meant by this claim:
"Notice that Default desktops settings probably doesn't fit to any other then 320x240 screens. It is beta so I haven't focus on this yet."
But you can easily switch yrgo to the Design mode and redesign all the items in any way you want. Check the video on www.2daysoft.com

Guys,
I know about this bug but do not forget that you can completely redesign any of all 64 desktops! Just switch to the design mode (tap and hold anywhere on the desktop) and then you can move, delete, add or modify any gadget on the desktop.
Check video on www.2daysoft.com how it works. Thanks.

Luky

Is this really a beta?
If so how and why does one unlock it?

Hi,
yes, it is a beta version - that means it is not version officially presented on my website or offered on various download servers.
yrgo is shareware - it works with limitations without purchasing a registration key. And the same condition is valid for the beta versions. The users that has already bought yrgo are able to unlock beta version with their registration key, but without this key, you cannot unlock it.

A replacement for HTCs ActionScreen.
Coded in Win32 C++ for speed.
Applications can be configured via the registry.
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\App_X
Path changes the path, Parm changes the parameters, and Text changes the text
Timeout (how long before the application minimizes) can be changed at:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Timeout time is in milliseconds
The size of the text can be configured:
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\FontSize
Font colour
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Font Red/Green/Blue (0-255)
The text at the top of the page can be configured
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Text
If
HKCU\Software\l3v5y\ActionScreen\Exit
is 0, the app will minimize, if it's 1, the app will close after timeout or action.
Changelog:
0.03 now allows the application to close rather than staying resident in memory.
0.02 Adds configurable text, clicking on the top most bar minimizes the application.
0.01 Initial Release

reserved for updates

try this one,thx!

Update to 0.02, see first post for more...

looks cool and works well!

7 items, Why no 14?
Hi l3v5y,
It's a great tool but we already have an action 9. If you split the screen in two parts, you can put 14 items (maybe a new entry in regitry to change from 7 to 14) . Another idea is to create a new tab in manila. In any case this application looks fine and I'll test it. Thanks!!.

Currently, this is just a rewrite of the ActionScreen as it comes. I'll take suggestions on what to do, and having 14 items sounds interesting!
Also, for anyone with a blackstone, if you edit the skin file and add two more App_X keys which match those of the other keys, you can get 9 applications.

Nice! i tryed it but some things are not working.
When i click at the top it doesnt minimise, it gives an error saying that it couldnt open file "".
Also tryed to change the text at the top but it didnt change, new sms and new mms arent working (nothing is opened)
maybe the problem is that my rom language is not wwe?
the rest works good, thanks!

Hi l3v5y, as above, but not tried mms, i don't use it but nothing happens when I press new sms. I have a feeling you will fix it!

What version does it say in the bottom right? (yes, I kow it's ridiculously small, but any larger and it gets in the way) I may have uploaded the wrong cab!

version 0.01

(or at leas, I think it is :S)

yes, now it works!
Just one thing, once you open the program and lauch something it doesnt exit, it stays minimised.
Could you add a reg entry or change it so it closes instead of minimise and wasting ram?
thanks

That seems a good idea.
I didn't do it, because the RAM usage on my Prophet (QVGA) wasn't as bad.

This may seem like a very dumb question, but where exactly do I go to find the "action Screen" on my Diamond? I've had it for about 2 months now and I've never seen an action screen. Is it after market? I ask because i understood this to be a rewrite of a current default setting that comes preinstalled on the diamond... Maybe i'm just have the biggest brain fart ever.

Could be the fact that I wasn't hugely specific. This is a rewrite of something the Touch Dual had, not the Diamond.

When are you going to prepare a 14 buttons version?
Hi l3v5y,
Are you developing a 14 buttons version?. Thnks in advance.

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier setup (24th Aug) - beta

[APP][WM6.5] Magnifier Configurator (24th Aug) - beta
Hello,
since I'm about to develop WM application, I wanted to get into WM restrictions for C#.
So there the app is - it lets you setup Magnifier (setting timeouts, enabling "features", ..) plus adding/deleting apps in which will be Magnifier disabled.
It was built for QVGA on WM6.5 build 23034 CSY, but it should run on all resolutions.
It needs .NET compact framework!
Screenshots:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just copy it to your device (anywhere) and run the .exe.
It is early beta version, it will probably fail to set some parameters properly (converting from bool to dword is the biggest problem), so when you find something, tell me. Thanks.
Also, some settings (I've done it from registry, I hope I got all options named correctly) might not work as expected, but that must fix MS in WM itself (like Ellipse option).
Current version: Magnifier_beta2.zip
Old versions
Magnifier_beta.zip - missing SIP and menu icons

Known options:
Enabled - enables/disables whole magnifier
Bilinear -
Elipse - currently buggy when enabled, not sure what it is supposed to do
Show crosshair - shows (or does not) crosshair when opened
Use High Fidelity - when you open magnifier and then try to move it to somewhere else, it still shows the original position, you must wait till it closes to show different place
Resize For High Fidelity -
Crosshair Length - Length of Crosshair
Crosshair Thickness - Thickness of Crosshair
Doubletap Distance - Max distance between taps to open magnifier
Doubletap Time - Maximum time it will wait for "doubletap" to open magnifier
Deactivate Delay - time before it starts disappearing
Fade Duration - Time how long it will take to disappear completely
Height -
Max Window Size -
Width -
The free ones are still waiting to investigate.
If you think that one of these is incorrect, post me that and I'll fix it.

-- reserved one more (no more needed, thanks)

Ooh. Nice tool
This looks very useful.
Thanks!

I guess that some settings might not work (like staying (un)checked) so just tell me (I always write Elipse instead of Ellipse and always search for this mistake half an hour ).
PS: You must reboot after saving changes to getting it to work of course.

Very excited about this could relieve alot of issues with my tap response in opera and such!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Well.This is great however I have a major issue. No SIP so I can't type anything in. I'm trying this on my Omnia which is 240X400 and the bottom bar is completly covered and I don't have a hard keyboard.

I totally forgot adding SIP since I have HW keyboard, sorry, I'll fix it ASAP.

Added to first post with added MainMenu control (Start button, X/OK and SIP) - Magnifier_beta2.zip

great job ondraster will test it later and let you know how it works.

Hey thanks for the great tool. I was in need of this...
Best Regards

Thanks. Good!!!

Thanks man! useful app.
have to ask though, how did you get those nice icons for the new bottom taskbar as in the screenshot?

I'm creating new WM theme for myself, you can get them on internet, resize them to 16x16px (PNG) and then name them as <themename>_bubble_flag.png and _bubble_ok.png and _bubble_foo.png if I remember right (I'm not at home at this moment, sorry).

there is no magnifier glass on wm6, so no.

I need to use a 240*320 blocked resolution application on my TP2.
I have wm 6.5 build 5.2.21892 and i tried to use the Magnifier_beta but the exe doesn't work and an error appear: this exe file seems not been for your S.O.
There is something i can do?
