NEW non-M2D version!
By advice, Im creating a new post, not to confuse ppl into this older m2d-dependant version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3315445
If the M2D plugin is ever to be changeable, I'll return to this thread.

Im currently working on a flash that display the Manila 3D weather animations.
The idea is to have that on M2D, on the operator tab or something, it would require changing it so that it could read flash and a "load registry" command, like this EXE has. If you know some way of doing this, please post here.
To use this EXE you'll need Flash 7 (lite may also work, but im not sure) and M2D with the weather already configurated (because this reads the registry values from M2D).
The download is quite large (16mb) because of the animations, so I wasnt able to post it here, you have the download link below.
I'd like to thank Rumball for giving me permission to use his animations and The_hesham for pushing this idea.
To use, place it all on your /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D and create a shortcut for the EXE (with resco explorer or something). This path can be changed in the registry since v4 or thru the settings menu since V5. You can also change the language by translation the DATA.TXT file (more info on the V5 "whats new" area).
One thing I noticed, the m2d conversion from Farenheight to celsius is slightly incorrect... Only the farenheight measure is recorded on the registry, so if you choose celsius, m2d makes this conversion: (farenheight - 32) / 1.8 = celsius
But if the result is, for example, between 12.1 or 12.9 the value shown is always 12º. My conversion rounds up anything above 0.5 to +1.0. I think thats the way it should be. And thats why you get different results in M2D and this app.
If you'd like to help, please tell me how to attach this to M2D somehow...
To do:
--------
read "last update was on...?" info, need to understand the registry code...
update now button
add city (this is not going to be easy)
m2d integration (how? please help me)
---//---
VERSION 2
-----------------
Lots and lots and lots of bugfixes!
Still limit of 10 cities for now (does anyone know if there is a limit on m2d?)
I think all the weather info and icons are now correct... (Showaco, you rock!)
You can click on the icon to see the animation again.
Stiil no "last updated on" info
Added a txt datafile to future language translations.
I think I'll add the smaller icons on the bottom now... And when you click them they could appear as big, what do you think?
Download v2 (16Mb): http://rapidshare.com/files/202544328/W3D.zip
---//---
VERSION 3:
---------------
Added clickable 4 day weather bottom mini-icons.*
Cleaned up the code a bit
Fixed some fonts to be more visible
Added loading screen (very quick)
Changed the refresh button (its actually useless at this point, it should be used to update on the near future)
Re-added the county name after the city name, I was removing itat first, but it looks helpfull if you have many cities...
*The bottom 4 days when clicked just do the animation, they dont appear on fullscreen, because the m2d info only has the high and low temperature, not the medium, so my calculations would not be accurate.
---//---
Small update V4:
----------------
Cleaned up some code (Thank you [email protected]_pt).
Added option to change the path of the icons/wallpaper/data language thru the registry in :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\W3D\PATH = /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D (this is the default path created the first time you run it).
Added some key codes: Right replays the main animation, left replays the small animations, enter exits the app.
---//---
New version 5:
-------------------
Fixed a bug on icon nº 19 (thanks for the tip jazenf).
Removed some (now) obsolete code.
Added full language configuration on data.txt, you can create your own language* and post here for me to add to the final version.
Added abillity to create your own pack of icons*.
Added new settings button, where you can change the name of iconset, language, background, celsius and program path... no need for you to mess with the registry manually.
NOTE: The keyboard is hidden by default, you need to click on a text area for it to pop-up.
Removed refresh button, but you can still refresh thru the settings, just press OK.
Changed DATA.TXT to allow the new language changes.
---//---
Small update v5b:
-------------------
Small bug fixed reading the language data files (still a little buggy).
removed the .jpg and .txt extensions from the settings (easier to update).
Added extra languages as a separated zip attached here.
* Theme rules:
Icons must be individual swf files, exported as flash 7, must have the same name as the ones on the "icons" folder, 240x200 px size and (this is important) have in the last frame the LABEL parado with the CODE stop();. The icon theme's name is the name of the folder.
Wallpapers are jpg's in 240x295 px saved in standart enconding, progressive enconding will not appear on flash, this is a old flash bug.
If you have a VGA or any other sized screen, you can change the JPG size to whatever fits you best.
The language file data.txt can be renamed to data_sp.txt (as spanish, for example) or any other name you'd like, just remenber to change it on the settings too. I added the Portuguese language as an example also.
Note that the first variable doesnt have the & character and that they all finish with &END, this is normal.
If you have a special character that doesnt appear, tell me what it is, so that I can embebbed it into the app.

Ooohhh Thanks man
can u upload in megaupload I can not download from rapidshare.
Real nice as usual Twolf
Installed in my Kaiser/Sd Card, is it supposed to get information from Manilla Weather configuration ? I can see 3 cities like I have, but only the 1st one get an image
Other question, when Update is pressed nothing happens
Flash Lite 7, instaled in main device, is it supposed to be in SDCard ?
Thanks for your superwork
ps: Updated in Manilla and the figures are shown, but there are discrepancies in values and actual weather
Sorry all these are in your to do list
pcarvalho, thank you so much, that will be very helpfull!
The_hesham, megaupload keeps giving errors on my ISP, thats why I only use rapidshare...
Anyway, theres problably going to be an update tomorrow...
Pisca, this is an alfa version, it has lots of bugs still...
I think flash 7 can only be installed in the memory, since its only a big dll file that stays on the windows folder.
Rumball, I just noticed, you mentioned in your thread that some animation where cut out from you (great) work on WeatherPanel... Exacly how many weather animations does Diamond has?
:/

There are a lot of things to fix still, my biggest concern was if flash could load a 1mb animation with enough speed and framerate... and even getting a little slow in the wipper, its fairly ok...
One thing I noticed, the m2d conversion from Farenheight to celsius is slightly incorrect... Only the farenheight measure is recorded on the registry, so if you choose celsius, m2d makes this conversion:
(farenheight - 32) / 1.8 = celsius
But if the result is, for example, between 12.1 or 12.9 the value shown is always 12º. My conversion rounds anything above 0.5 to +1.0. I think thats the way it should be. And thats why you got different results.

Thats a great model, hehehe...
Its an open beta, ill be posting it as it evolves.
great work!
i've tried it on my herald with flash 3.1. And it doesn't work... After that I've installed Flash 7 and it has successfully stared up, but doesn't show the animations (I've tried Madrid and New York in M2D). the instalation is done in /Storage Card/Program Files/W3D (I've triple checked). Any guesses of why isn't it working?
BTW, what do you mean by:
Place the icons on the correct order.
Know the weather conditions order

Right now the only way to use it will be with the WindowEmbed plugin... but it will not update as it's M2D who updates de weather . Let's wait until he end including it inside M2D, after that, the integration in throttle will be simple... .
Didnt had time to read your pms and post, sorry about that but I was working on the....

1 - animations working when clicked, and correct vs md2
2 - still a diference 1ºCelcius vs md2
3 - number on left side 1/2 not changing sometimes
Nice idea about 5 days forecast being clicable with animations
am i missing something...i installed the W3D folder in the right place but when i go to the weather tab its the same old m2d weather

[UPDATE][10/10/2008] TouchLaunch 0.0.3! so beautiful ( NET2&NET3.5 ) with some skins
0.0.4 version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437773
TouchLaunch is simple application launcher, which scans start menu shortcuts, and list them alphabetically. Kind of similar to scoll launcher
but this has new quick alphabetic scroll function. This is very early alpha and my first program release.
Features:
-finger scrolling
-quick alphabet shortcuts
-skinnable
-you can choose whether it closes after program launch or not

}
[0.0.1][10/06/2008]
[0.0.2][10/07/2008]
+Skin changer
+Better skinning support
+You can use bitmaps as list item highlight
+6 premade skins
+closeAfterLaunch feature
[0.0.3][10/10/2008]
+backgroundbitmaps
+you can use your today's screen background as this program's background
+ability to choose whether minimize or terminate on exit
+automatic closing ( either minimize or exit on closing )
+it's minimizes correctly, so you can leave it on running background
+should work on all different language roms!
Known "bugs":
-skin change takes about 5 sec... so don't panic
-if closeAfterLaunch feature is on and you switch to other application,
TouchLaunch will close in 2 seconds.
-if you try to launch phone ( or calendar ), it will launch softaware and after that it will crash...
-using bitmaps multiples memory usage, but you can avoid that using simpler skins
-menu is ugly
Requirements:
.NET CF 2.0
wm6 ( might work with wm5 ), i have only tested on emulator and on my elf
qvga or vga
Instructions:
Download and install the cab file
or download the zip file, extract it to any folder on your ppc and run the exe file.
Making new skins you can look example from premade skins in the skin folder at installation folder, two of them ( white.xml and original.xml ) are commented. Adding new just copy your skin xml file in the skins folder.
ToDo:
-better skin support
-adding some animations
-icons ( maybe someone could give me a hint )
-bug fixes
-landscape support
-performance tweaking
-optimizing memory usage
Feel free comment, and give me more ideas!
If like it, you can always donate to keep me motivated
Thanks to gingercat and dosfan for exellent work on KListControl!
Thanks to skinmakers!
Other's skins included in package:
Manila 2D Blue ( by shadowmike )
Diamond ( by Azimuth21 )
DiamondVGA ( by Mr Gee )
nice work can we change background skin
awh damn. just when i had made my mortbuttons program launcher skin.
thanks buddy.
i bet its MUCH easier than my way...
munnna73 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, you can change all the colors and also change placements of different elements by modifying skin.xml file. It doesn't support using background bitmaps, but i'm planning to make that for nex release.
Every object has these attributes, which you can modify:
Code:
<ELEMENT>
<NAME>mainList</NAME>
<BGCOLOR>105105105</BGCOLOR>
<FORECOLOR>245245245</FORECOLOR>
<X>12</X>
<Y>0</Y>
<WIDTH>228</WIDTH>
<HEIGHT>268</HEIGHT>
</ELEMENT>
the colors are 9 digit RGB values ( example. BGCOLOR is 105105105, so it has 105 red, 105 green, 105 blue ). Make sure you always use three numbers, even if value is under 100, for example 5 -> 005.
i cant wait till we can have background images. and select images like scroll launcher(by l5v3y)

Actually you can use select image, because it use the same KlistControl code base. Just copy png bitmap to execution folder and name it as select.png. The dimensions must match the dimensions configured in the skin.xml. So, by default it's 228x40.
Looks nice
Few pointers if I may it starts kind of slow it takes about 4 seconds to open it on my kaiser. And the search engine is kind of not finger friendly it,s hard to select a letter with your thumb. I think that bigger letters would do the trick for example you could place half of the alphabet on the left side of the screen and the rest on the right side or introduce the search engine similar to the one present in IContacts.
Great job

Thanks for responses and ideas!
The slow start time is mostly compact framework's fault, one idea is to let it run on background or switch to WIN32 api... but i did look up Icontact's source and felt it was not my kind of cookie But there's some tweaking that could be done. About the scroll touch, i find it quite good on my touch.
It helps to not really trying to hit right alphabet but instead follow what the on screen indexshower shows, and if it's wrong letter just slide your finger up or down. have to say that i'm not big fan of the idea dividing the alphabets but the Icontact alphabet's style could be an idea...
Btw. out of concept, but does anyone know any free coctail databases? Because i have done earlier a program that displays coctail recipes, but the database i use is something that i can't publish. firstly because i don't have authors permission and secondly because it's in Finnish It would perfect if database would be in XML format.
Just added a cab installer.
If the memory footprint is low and by saying low I mean less than 500kb then it's a good idea. WIN32 api??? Well that's double dutch to me
Well I think I've got too big thumbs While holding the phone in one hand I'm not able to access the alphabet with my thumb. I've tried pressing the alphabet area and then slide it up or down to choose a letter but I end up scrolling the list with applications up or down. So maybe widening the alphabet touch area would do the trick. Also I think that moving the indexshower to the upper or even upper right part of the screen would prevent it from being covered by a thumb while picking a letter.
I don't know any cocktail databases at least not free ones
Would it be possible to map it to the "all programs" soft key in TF3D?
Looks nice, thanks for the good work.
Installed and tried it. A pgm which works great. Very handy as I do not have every programs set for my iFonz icons. I couple of suggestions:
1) To group pgm names by alphabet, something like iContact. When the scroll reaches a particular alphabet, the alphabet will appear in the middle, more like you're selecting from the left alphabet option.
2) A handy A to Z table like iContact rather than the alphabets tiny-ly arranged on the left.
I can live with the color but if there's skin to select, it will be prefect.
Thank you for such brilliant pgm.

New Version 0.0.2!
It's more skinnable, you can change also font. And I made 6 example skins. I would love see few good custom skins in this thread, which i could add to next release.

1) That's possible and a good idea.
2) I'm going with tiny alphabets for now, but that would be nice option to add later versions, though i have to make whole new control for that.
The new version has the old color scheme and new white one, i would like i have some darker on like on scroll launcher also.. maybe some talented skinning artist in this forum could provide me that I'm not so talented with skin creating.

Known "bugs":
-if you use .net2.0 version from zipfile, rename TouchLaunchNET2.exe to TouchLaunch.exe to get Replace folderview function to work.
-using today's background causes crash sometimes
Requirements:
.NET CF 2.0
wm6 ( might work with wm5 )
Instructions:
Download and install the cab file or download the zip file, extract it to any
folder on your ppc and run the exe file.
Uninstall previous version and then delete program folder it was installed, first.
Making new skins you can look example from premade skins in the skin
folder at installation folder. Adding new just copy your skin xml file
in the skins folder.
Custom icons can be added to iconpacks folder, just make a subfolder
with your favourite icons. Name them similar to shortcuts.
Example: Active Sync.lnk needs Active Sync.png ( or .jpg, .gif etc ) bitmap file.
Categories can be added by creating a empty file in the catogories subdir. And removed by deleting certain category file.
ToDo:
-appToDate support
-bug fixes
-landscape support
-performance tweaking
-optimizing memory usage

Thanks for this!
great how much ram need?
yeah i wanna know too.
you know not everyone has around a hundred mb of ram
Ram usage depends on theme, the current theme on screenshots takes 597 kb... not hundreds of megs
okay cool.
im going to be using my background from my today screen so it should be pretty good.
im glad you have an option to replace folderview.
i had to do a hard way(using vjbrisk)

I built a little touchlaunch launcher for that purpose
Still no ABC grid like in Icontats? .... It would really make this appication much more finger friendly
nice with low ram like diamond and i can change icons.thx all
Nice update. Takes a few seconds to load up on the HTC touch but other than that works pretty good. The quick keyboard like icontact would be sweet but i guess everything takes time. So far so good.
I think you're using an old version of the Diamond skin; I posted an updated one here, using a background and some tweaks. Adapted it quickly to 0.0.4; might be some bugs.
Very nice!
A side note, there is no "u" in favorites.
Nice... I love the UI more and more but I noticed the start-up time is longer. Prolly more processing/resource to load the icons, huh? On the other hand, I encountered an error.
When I close the application using the "CLOSE" button on the lower left with selected "Exit" and not "Minimize", I get an error of:
>>
An unexpected error has occured in TouchLaunch.exe.
Select Quit and then restart the program, or select Details for more information.
Error reading catergory file: Favorites
>>
If I select the X on the upper right, the application closes without any error.
Thanks a lot...
The update sounds righteous. Can't wait to try it out.
Slick n Sweet
Nice job - sure love these sweet XDA toys. Love the idea of adding the icons and sub-categories and gestures. Your a genius.
Minor bug though - when installed on my memory card i get the error that ":\Program Files\TouchLaunch\custom" does not exist. The full path for this directory is :\Storage Card\Program Files\TouchLaunch\custom. Last version 0.3 worked fine on memory card.
Works fine when I install program to main memory though.
Also hard to see the icon - do you like this one I made for you??

This bug also occurs with an german rom, because the path is, even if you install it on Main Memory, "\Programme\TouchLauch\custom"... you have to use the following .net-code:
Code:
using System.Collections;
[...]
string ApplicationPathwithExe = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase;
string ApplicationPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(ApplicationPathwithExe);
Was just about to post with the same proble. Hopefully it will be resolved soon enough. Love this app.
A temporary fix for memory card problem:
Just make a directory "TouchLaunch" in program files and put the "Custom" folder there. It works fine for me and it doesn't take a lot space. I think that similar solution can work and for other language roms(need to make and "Program files" dir too).
I have and another problem:
The "Use today's Background" option leads to an error: File not found exception.
I had a couple of ideas but my programming skills outside flash are poor at best.
I wanted to make a plugin packed much like AnalogClock that is a all-in-one plugin with severall features.
All these ideas can be done with a MORTSCRIPT file!
I tried to do a EXE file in flash that would update the registry much like a MSCR file, but it steals too much RAM and BATTERY when left ON after a few hours.
So I'll just leave the ideas here, in case anyone wants to pick them up.
Animated clock:
{
"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_new_window": "New window",

ALREADY STARTED ON POST #2!
It reads the current time and updates the regkey on the fly, but with a small twist:
If the current minute is different from the last X saved on the registry...
...runs this animation:
Save image name Xa on the registry
Wait 1/10 of a second
Save image name Xb on the registry
Wait 1/10 of a second
Save image name Xc on the registry
Wait 1/10 of a second
etc...so that we could display the same animation as the Diamond M3D clock.
This would require images with numbers 0-9 and their subsequent animation frames (5 should be enough)
If the digits were semi-tranparent with a glass glow, it would be extra good.
NOTE: Wouldnt advice having a seconds tab, as it would be always changing.

Micro notifications:
ALREADY STARTED HERE!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523015
Pretty much what I already did as a test here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3862296&postcount=475
...but with some extras:
The regkeys could change and make the numbers and icons disappear if they where equal to zero, by replacing the regkey filename with a blank png.
And the main button would change to the phone history or messages link when a call was missed or new unread sms existed.
So the icons would only pop-up when they were needed, and when they did, the main link would go to them.

DigiClock Quick test for QVGA
i'm trying the animation clock
attached is a quick test for qvga only
the animation not very smooth
Thats great!
I am currently trying to pull off a mortscript that does all this below:
So, the micro notifications I talked about above are suposedly working, it leeches of the titanium weather for the weather icon and temperature (no point on getting this onfo online, as that plugin is much complete), gets the system values like the system panel (but its based only on mortscript alone, no extra EXE's), and shows a clock based on pngs, much like analogclock's digital clock (not animated, hehehe).
I just need the date settings right and then learn how to do a titanium plugin, that I can change easily (I currently using the SYSTEM PANEL to test my mortscript file), but never did one myself.
I would like to see the SMS plugin in action. Looks promising to me.
However, what about a skype plugin for Titanium? There could be several options:
- Launch Skype (Right Softkey)
- Page1: Show amount of online contacts (ActionURL= Launch Skype)
- Page2: Show active chats (Username + Message/Topic)
- Page3: Show missed Skype calls/events
Or even a general "chat" plugin with Skype, WLM, FIM, ICQ, Fring etc. ?
I'd love to see a working notification panel myself. The stand alone one has overlapping txt in the notification areas on qvga and it doesn't look like its gonna get updated.
i'll have to try this one later on thanks.
Managed to make it work... and only with a MortScript that uses less than 150kb on the system.
When you receive a call or sms, the icon pops-up and the main button is used for accessing the call history or messages.
The icons arent showing in this screenshot because I didnt received any sms or call, lol.
The battery icon becomes on fire when its being charged.
The system bars show you your free mb and a visual percentage of how much that is (Mortscript only supports 2gb cards for now)
The clock can be easily skinned, as its simple png files.
To try (remenber its not finished) - QVGA ONLY!:
--------------------------------------------------
- Install System panel (I'm using it for tests until I learn how to create a plugin, shamefull... I know )
- Install Titanium weather (if for some strange reason you havent already, also configure your city on it).
- Install the Beyond Invisible Weather Icon pack, for some reason the CPR doesnt fix the icon sizes yet... :/
- Remove the shortcut to Memstatus.exe that the System Panel plugin installed on your Windows\Startup folder, because its not used by my plugin.
- Backup your \Windows\Titanium_240x320.cpr file.
- Install my files into your device (note that the CPR must be overwritten, if it gives you any trouble, use Resco Explorer)
- With Titanizer or Chome editor enable the System Panel plugin (if it isnt already) and move it to the bottom (so that its not on top on anything else).
- You can now remove the exe from the System Panel of Startup.
- You can customize some settings if you open the \My Documents\Themes\Titanium System Panel\TWolf.mscr file on notepad,
- Reset and enjoy the BETA!
---EDIT----
Small bugfixe, update my MSCR file into the \My documents\Themes\Titanium System Panel\TWolf folder.
There was a small bug when the plugin had a missed call or unread sms.
---EDIT 2----
Fixed the "on missed call" bug (it wouldnt jump to the call log).
Attached the latest MSCR.
---EDIT 3----
Did more changes on the MSCR file, separated the updates into 2:
- The clock, notifications and battery charge icon update every second.
- All the rest, every 10 seconds.
There are more customizable settings and are easier to change.
Also added the condensed view regkeys, but havent had time to change the CPR file yet.
Tryed a different version where the script would first check if the regkeys had changed and only then would change them, but that took more ram to run, so as it wasnt serving its purpose, I went back to the old way.
---Edit4---
Some extra notes:
At first I was thinking of a bigger size panel, true, but that forces ppl to change the design or layout of all their other plugins, thats why I was going for the default only.
So with that in mind, I was thinking (just thinking, for now) that my plugin could show:
- The clock, weather icon, date and notifications on a normal view (First page), that jumps to a pre-chosen app on clicked (Resco explorer, yey), if a notification existed it would jump to their app and on the right softkey link would make the weather update (its doing this already).
- The system settings + battery and network info on the second page that when clicked would go to memory settings, and the plugin settings could be the right softkey link.
- A image "slideshow" of a pre-chosen folder on the third page, that when clicked would change to the next picture (bottom link would go to album).
- On the fourth page a sms messages tab that would show the latest message and on clicked would show the next and so on... The right softkey would jump to all the messages.
- The clock, weather icon and notification icon (no text) on condensed view.
- The settings app (user customization) would be a flash EXE file that would save stuff in the settings (much easier for me to do )
Not sure yet how I'll do all this, but it all seems pretty duable on mortscript.
Would only do a QVGA version, since its all I could test.
This does not exclude my idea that the messages and album (explained on the first post) should have their own plugin.
But maybe after I do these, part of the code could be reused for someone else with better programming skills.
yea i def wanna change my clock
I followed your instructions on a fresh install with nothing added.
1) system panel
2) weather 4.2
3) copied files and below is what I get
Uh, your not the first to have that bug, for some reason the icons dont get resized on the cpr... :/
To fix you need to install and apply the excelent Beyond Invisible weather icon pack.

Just the shortcut on the startup to memstatus.exe, its from the system panel, but its not used on my plugin change.
Also, found a bug in my MSCR, ill update the post with the fixed file.
it had a int(x) code to make number into a full decimal number, but mortscript cant recognize it like that... :/
Still looks the same with installing those beyond icons..
I assume I'm using all the same mods as you since theres only one of them but could you post the cabs your using to get this going just in case?

No, nothing else has to be installed, only the mentioned 2 plugins and my files.
If you get that error its because you dont have the htc taskmanager app, but thats ok, its not important, you can change the main link to any other app you like in the SETTINGS area of my latest MSCR file.
I just used that one because it was already the default on the system planel.
am not going to the gym today to fix this hope it works
the new freaking rom i downloaded doesnt let me replace the Titanium_240x320

cherish might be able to help with regular Titanium as his plugin is for it & he's adding buttons to it. Really the only difference is the script will need different X/Y values & the user needs to have a TitaniumListView (Plugin always recenters itself onscreen) type theme. If the theme using BronzeListView, there's be only one way to support it as the X/Y value would be different depending on order of plugins. It'd have to be either the first or last plugin enabled.
Noticed an issue, the script is deleting the Add.png image. This causes you to get the "RED X" that CHome draws for missing images.
You need to remove the script that deletes the image. There's no need for it as the image gets changes in the registry upon adding an app anyway.

Cool cool, doing great, just copied it in.
Trying to see if I can get the buttons to work inside the <Layer ID="Page" section and link the images to cprs. After that going to see if there's a way to do buttons w/o the color script. The script is nice because it works, but hoping there's an easier way to make buttons launch app. That would also increase performance with less scripts running.

You want to keep the same # as buttons between QVGA & VGA as the image needs to be increased in size to look the same size on screen. Double the Height & Width of the values of the cpr for VGA. It should be noted also that right now I don't have support for VGA in NeoTitanium so they'd be adding the layout to their Theme CPR's unless someone made their own VGA version of the my CPR's

The main reason I say this is because the old version will remain on the "Remove programs List and you won't be able to uninstall it to get it off the list. It's not a big thing, but makes for a cleaner "Install Programs" list.

NEW VERSION IS ONLINE - please go to:
-> *Newest Version of Titanum-Plugin JMLToday with Download*
--> *Skins & AddOns for JMLToday*
Please read this before:
Here is in accordance with JMHL the Preview for JMLToday in English.
I discovered JMLToday some time ago in the web and there it was only for French language, but I liked the style and variability and so I got in contact with JML to translate it to other languages - at first Germany.
At first it was only a translation/changing of script - but then we got closer and the changes will be directly implemented in JMLToday - with the goal to have a multilanguage JMLToday.
Then I made also a multilang cab and looks for improvements - but the it's not good to have too much cooks - the developer of JMLToday is JMHL -> please visit his Blog: http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=24
This "Collect-Thread" is opened in accordance with JMHL.
With the help and testing of some Users from Diamond-Section we have now a Preview of JMLToday in English Language - full functionality! (Thanks to donsalari, xxmarkosxx)
Some questions are already answered there: *Diamond JMLToday5.1-Thread*
But the Plugin can work on all resolutions - I made the installer, that it will be installed in every ROM - independent from the language - but the complete development was on the Diamond - and it's to difficult to estimate the other resolutions - especially in Titanium with the different styles.
But it runs on VGA,WVGA,QVGA,WQVGA,...!
But first have a little look to it (don't mind about foreign languages in Screenshot):

Further informations and Skins:

*German Developer forum*
Important and what we need:
VGA/WVGA-Users:
The Plugin should work by default - you can change the skin, how you like. In the links above you will find much more skins and Icons.
But very much Skins have no Landscape support - and also new Skins would be really great! It's not difficult - if you look with CHome into the Vars - you will see, that very much different Skins are easy to make.
User with other resolutions like QVGA WQVGA:
First trial with additional setup instructions in Post #23 -> *QVGA/WVGA-Trial AddOn* - then it works on your resolution!
But we need more input: The Plugin can be installed, but there's only one .plg which has your Resolution. So all VGA-Themen - they won't be added to the right .cpr - nothing to see.
But you have the others default .plg-Files in the JMLToday-Directory... and you can add the sections for your resolution and resize the Icons and texts, that it looks nice.
Copy complete
<layout screenWidth="480" screenHeight="640">
...
</layout>
Section and add it with your resolution.
With the "Change Skin"-Contextmenu by tapping on the Main-Screen (or by starting "jmltodayskins.mscr" you can always test.
The Plugin works very stable - so I don't think you can do something wrong - but nevertheless: JMHL or me can't be made responsible for that what you do
Features 5.1 preview:
- Digital Clock
- Weather for Today and next 5 Days ( you'll find your town with http://weather.msn.com -> e.g. NewYork is "USNY0996" )
- Short description of weather
_ Battery, Appointments, Bluetooth, Wifi, Alarm-State
- Notifications for SMS and Phone (with extended Contextmenu!)
- Support of S2U2-UserWeather
- Support for Titanium7-Project and "custom" Titanium - what you prefer
- no costs
- ... much more - you'll see
The Program is written in C++ - so minimal Battery-Drain in opposite to 24/7-Mortscripts, complete skinable because everything to change is outside the C++ in Mortscript (but no 24/7 )
Why not Accuweather? In MSN it's a very small size to load (in next version only 1,5 Kb) - and you'll find much more small villages - perhaps yours)
Please help us to geht Skins for all Resolutions and for Portrait and Landscape.
We hope with the Multi-Language-Release of JMLToday - which will be made by JML - your Skins could be inside.
You can also looking forward to:
- configurable Clock/Alarm-Path (if U use e.g. G-Alarm, Pocket-Alarm,...)
- Interface for Skinners to add more informations, wherever they are (2nd weathercity, more Appointments, Birthdays,... whatever you like)
- Analog Clock
-...
Notes because of questions:
- The default Plugin is "JMLToday.plg" - for this file we would need the qvga,... as most urgent
- the default.plg is only the hook for ATPluginInstaller - no need to change anything.
- Everything with "WM7" inside Skin-Name is for Titanium7-Project
- Use CHome-Editor from Showaco to see, what informations can be displayed in JMLToday
- switch from Fahrenheit to Celcius -> *klick to #31*
Thank you for your help - I will send working skins to JML and your Skin could be inside the next Releases - feedback is appreciated that we can see, that a skin is working on other resolutions - also new Ideas are welcome.
Thanks to everybody, who will help!
Micha
Thank you - works great!
Hope also for additional skins
Nice app. Installed perfect. Is there a way to dispaly 12 hour time format instead of 24 hour format?
dougdelong : In next version (v5.2)
Soon.
A++
Sorry if i ask the obvious... is this a Titanium plugin like stated in the title or is it a CHome Titanium replacement with plugins?
hope you will in next version put temperature to be shown in celsius....
@benko286:
Yes - in 5.2 it will be chooseable for us and en (Fahrenheit <-> Celcius). Also for 12/24h
But meanwhile you can change it immediately to Celcius:
you will find in jmlmeteo.mscr the line with
raw=ReadFile("http://meteo.msn.com/RSS.aspx?wealocations=wc:"&location&"&weadegreetyp e=F&culture=en-US", "latin1")
- change it to:
raw=ReadFile("http://meteo.msn.com/RSS.aspx?wealocations=wc:"&location&"&weadegreetyp e=C&culture=en-US", "latin1")
@claus1953:
No - there's no replacement of something - you should have to do it manually to overtake the CClock, if you want. But by default: New Panel - don't be afraid
@ll: The 5.2 is really great in first Tests - we really need at least the "JMLToday.plg" and the "JMLToday_WM7.plg" very urgent in QVGA and WQVGA (and perhaps in landscape, too)
Please help - we don't have the devices to make it in perfect fit for this resolutions.
Otherwise the Release for all Resolutions (besides VGA and WVGA) must be postponed
Please have a look in the Diamond-Thread, too - there are some answers for common questions: -> *Diamond Thread*

I installed the plugin, then a new panel appeared with the setup. I did the setup then CHome refreshed but the new plugin did not show up anymore. In CHome Editor it shows up as the top plugin but not on my screen.
I did try to install it in the default theme for Titanium to avoid problems with compatibility.

Might have something to do with your screen size according to the first post.
Very Cool! Works well. VGA
Only way for me to have English for all the words is to change the Skin to Chelsea.
I like the JMLToday standard Skin better but the Day and Month is still in some other language "French"?
Got the City worked out and weather shows but the icon is chopped on the top.
Thanks! Looking forward to 5.2

Oh ok, i tought that if the setup panel appears it should be fine, but well...
I like this plugin. However, I have two questions. On my weather panel, the days are not capitalized. How do I change that. Also, how do I go from 24h clock to 12h clock? Again, nice looking plugin and thanks for any help.
Very classy , all in one solution. Thanks!
Very Nice
Really nice! Great job. One of the few multi plugins that is useful and yet classy.

I am annoyed with that too... Tried a lot.. But apparently it picks up the days from system clock...(Atleast i think so)
