Ciao nico can you help me solve the problem i have?
looks nice. getting some excepetions when opening some widgets.
nicolas, do you think there should be a difference performencewise due to it using flashlite instead of flash? should i start using this instead of the original FEW? and will the widgets i created be installable on this version as well?

It looks better, but probably consumes a little more CPU (or maybe not..). This version also unloads and switches to 1% CPU use when an application covers the entire screen.
Widgets you had created are not compatible, however I've incorporated your widgets onto this release (proper credit is given on an About option for each widget )
EDIT: Just so you know, I will no longer support the original FEWidgets anymore.

The idea of this first release is to debug the app... as stated on first post, its beta. Could you tell me what widgets are throwing exceptions? (do you have WM 5 or 6?)
in my case it crash while opening

Errors (but not exceptions)
Using stock ATT HTC Fuze rom, found a few things. First in landscape mode the background doesnt fill the screen (which is fine if there is a different bg for landscape vs portrait in the settings) and all of the widgets on the screen disappear except the lock. The only other problem i've run into is that the diamond clock appeared to get stuck in the flipping animation, went away when I drug it off the screen and then back on. Finally, as a today plugin, there is a space left at the bottom of the screen between the WM border and the plugin. Its the only plugin selected so I dont know why its doing this. Overall nice work from the last version to this one!

For the background, when on landscape (or on any page) select another background using the background switcher, and it'll change it only for that page.
I'll check the other errors, however all widgets drop fine on my omnia..

I've uploaded the sources. On the first post is the link.
I've also updated the version to 0.1.2.
Installed it on my TouchPro. I like the concept but it is way to buggy. For some reason when I chose full screen, I cant see any of the widgets. Also, the weather widget was not working, and a couple other widgets were non responsive -for example the quick dial widget wouldnt let me add any names.

I dont know if Fullscreen works when working as a today plugin.. its a Flash Lite option that I can't remove from the menu (IThink).
The Quick Dial works for me... are your contact names in english? (using latin characters), what version of flash Lite do you have? Window Mobile 6.1? there is a bug on this widget which when you select the trash bin for selecting a contact, when returning from delete mode it wont show the plus signs but that's all I detected...

moGo beta v.0.4
moGo is now independent
The new version of moGo no longer needs the freestyl server. At the moment this most likely will not mean to much to you guys but it means moGo is no longer restricted to the freestyl features. The new server pushes data to moGo to save on power as previously moGo had to ask the server to see if there where changes at regular intervals.

Features:
Finger friendly application launcher
Quick dial of favourite friends
Highly configurable menus and menu items
Missed call/sms/email notifications
Slide to quick launch(needs to be set in sets.txt)
Vibrate on touch(needs to be set in sets.txt, also probably not recommended)
Requirements:
.net compact 2.0
flashlite 2.1
How to use:
download and unzip the .CAB file
Transfer moGoInstall.CAB file to phone then click file to install.
INSTALL ONTO DEVICE!
Look in programs and run mogo.
Config:
There is still no easy config app but you can delve into the settings by editing the sets.txt file. In this file are a lot of setting values where you can change the wallpaper, icons and the menu items. After editing the sets.txt file you will need to re launch moGo.
Change wallpaper
wall=wallpapers/01.jpg -- after the = sign put the location of your own wallpaper
Change icons
menuIcon1=Phone.png -- change Phone.png to the icon you want to use. You can find icons in the icons folder.
Change menu Items
m1_iName1=Contacts -- This is the menu item title
m1_iDesc1=See a list of your conacts -- A small description
m1_iIcon1=Contacts.png -- The icon of the menu item
m1_iType1=launch -- Launch type. Can be: launch,web,call
m1_iAction1=\Windows\addrbook.lnk -- Depending on the launch type. Either location of app, web address or phone number
Multiple menus
It is possible to add your own menu. You can currently have up to 4 menus per button.
m1_Menus=3 -- This needs to be set to the correct number of menus you want.
The following would create a third menu for the phone button. Having m111 means it is the 3rd menu. m1111 would be the forth.
&m111_Style=big&m111_Ani=fromB&
&m111_iName1=Friend 5&m111_iDesc1=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon1=Contacts.png&m111_iType1=call&m111_iAction1=01234567890&
&m111_iName2=Friend 6&m111_iDesc2=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon2=Contacts.png&m111_iType2=call&m111_iAction2=01234567890&
&m111_iName3=Friend 7&m111_iDesc3=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon3=Contacts.png&m111_iType3=call&m111_iAction3=01234567890&
&m111_iName4=Friend 8&m111_iDesc4=Ring 01234567890&m111_iIcon4=Contacts.png&m111_iType4=call&m111_iAction4=01234567890&
&m111_Style=big -- means it is using the 4 big menu items style. Setting it to grid would make it use a 9 item grid menu. If using the grid you will need to add more items to the menu.
&m111_Ani=fromB -- This means the menu animation will slide from the bottom. Other options are "fromU" is slide from the top, "fromL", slide in from the left and "fromR", slide in from the right.
Slide to quick launch
&slideLeft_iType=none&slideLeft_iAction=\Windows\fexplore.exe&slideLeft_iIcon=FileExplorer.png&
&slideLeft_iType=none -- This means the slide to launch is off. Set it to "launch" and add the correct location to launch an application like a locker program for example. You can set an icon for it. You could also set it to ring someone by using the iType=call setting.
Possible problems:
I have built a brand new moGoServer instead of using freestyl and I have found the xmlsocket class in flashlite a little flaky. I do believe that I have found a good work around to make it stable though. See if you have any problems and let me know.
I only see a black window titled moGoServer...
You either do not have flashlite 2.1 installed or flashlite is not associating .swf files. If you have flashlite installed run it and open a swf file manually by clicking open. You can find a swf file in the flashlite folder or moGo folder. Now it wil associate swf files and you never ned to do it again. Restart moGo.
Download moGo v.0.4
Hope you like it
Steve
very nice and clean
it would be nice to make top bar in the same color
Gives me a black window named moGoServer when I run moGo in Programs.

Have you got FlashLite 2.1 installed?
If you have flashlite installed and you still get the black screen open a swf file manually with flashlite by running flashlite, clicking open and finding a .swf file. There's one in the flashlite folder or moGo folder. After thats done close it and run moGo again. Flashlite would have associated swf files with it now so you will never need to do that again.
I'll edit the first post so it has this info in it now.
thks for this very nice log; the "call history" don't work ...
Very nice!! Working on some customization now.
Fantastic first release. Great work! I love how quick and clean it is.
Suggestions for future releases:
Weather
RSS Reader
include # of voicemails along with SMS, email, and missed calls.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
kinda cool, but it would be nice if it auto saw all your applications. still testing it some though.
@ monamibouli
Have you got the tCallHistory.exe file. It should be in your windows folder by default really. Sometimes yet rarely I have found windows mobile wouldn't launch my call history at all until I restarted.
@ mfrost67
Nice. I would love to see some screen shots when your finished. Same with anyone else who may be adding their own skin. In the following versions I will increase the skinning ability of moGo too.
@ bigevs
Personaly I dont use weather apps but you're the second person to ask for it so I guess I should do it. RSS reader would be cool and I totally agree with the voice notification which will defiantly be in the next version.
@ ROCOAFZ
Yeah I have already thought about that. I think the way I will do it is still have a favourites menu type thing but then have a show all programs button that will launch a list view.
I've had some time to tinker around with this program and I am still loving it. I've used itask animated, freestyl, and several other set-ups and I like this one the best. It works great for my fat fingers and it seems to be very stable. A few thoughts on how to make it even better...
*Ability to include today plug-ins on a page
*Next appointment on today screen
*Bluetooth icon on home page
*More customization options such as:
*Option to remove curtain under the clock on the homepage
*Ability to change background on every page
*Time and date format
I can't wait for the next release. This program is fantastic.
Thanks bigevs,
A lot of your suggestions are being worked on for the next release. What do you mean by "Ability to include today plug-ins on a page" suggestion.
this is working for my dopod 818 pro??
thanks...

Sorry. I meant embedding today plug-ins into moGo so that you could cycle between them. I've seen other programs that do this (i.e. Throttlelauncher)
I use Today Agenda, and it would be nice to incorporate that into moGo so I don't have to close moGo to see it on the today screen. I would rather have them integrated together. Or, you could build your own calender/tasks app.
I also seem to be having a little trouble with the SMS notifier updating in a timely manner. Did I mess somethihg up, or is this a known issue?
EDIT: It works fine if I hit the Outlook icon and then SMS inbox, but doesn't work if I tap the Blue SMS notifier.
Once again, great job! Keep up the good work.

I second this request I have been looking for a launcher like moGo that would also incorporate today plugins. I've been trying to get the iFonz developer to do it, but I think he has too manu requests as it is . Having a page for today plugins would be great, then I could have phonealarm and my schedule(schedule = most important to me), on a single page with easy access to moGo. Just a suggestion .
I will have to look into incorporating the today plugins. Any ideas on how you would like this to work? I think I will have to install a plugin to test this out.
@ bigevs
The blue SMS notifier button is linked to the same lnk file as the menu item labelled SMS Inbox. If you are having trouble with one you should be having trouble with the other. So i'm not sure what is happening there. The notification is hard coded to use the lnk file too so you couldn't of messed anything up in the sets.txt file.

hi thanks for sharing
Is it fo VGA only or QVGA also ? and is it going to work on my hd also ? (WVGA)
Great App! Absolutely love it and use it daily!
2 things:
1) When my phone goes into stand-by, the alarm does not go off - just a quiet vibration.
2) The top bar is very, very tiny. It's impossible to click the area to minimize or close the app.
Suggestion: Add soft-keys on the bottom bar, like Menu (close; minimize; about) and Settings on the other side.
I'm using it on:
Sprint HTC Touch Pro; WM6.1pro; VGA screen
thanks a bunch! Great Work!!!!

It's designed to work on all resolutions. But it's only tested in emulators. Please report your reesults here.
No problem for me, just working fine on trinity except the fact that's it's for wwe rom, the cab doen't put the fonts in the "police" folder on my french rom so it made an error. I created a Fonts one to put the .ttf and all works fine. Thanks for sharing.
On my Tytn2 with WM6.1(HTC dutch Rom) it doesnt even start.
I get the following error:
DirectoryNotFoundException
I do have Net CF 3.5 installed.
Won't start on a Touch 3G - it reports "An unexpected error has occurred in TouchWatch2.exe" and "This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device." - which is very unlikely given that this is a brand new handset from HTC with ROM dated October 2008 ?
Congratulations for TouchWatch application! Like it over G-Watch for one main reason, I was able to minimise it to do other stuff.
I'm running it in a TyTN II. Works great.
I've some suggestions:
1. Put icons over the top three locations (Main settings, minimise and close). Users don't need to guess what to do next once they launch the application and they don't read instructions .
2. Increase the size of the two icons signifying timer and stopwatch (older people like me with poorer eyesight have difficulty distinguishing which is which).
3. Or put the words Timer and Stopwatch above the icons.
4. Possibility to change the background of the application (best is to use three colour slider).
Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Please try the following:
Download, extract and copy the files located in the "Touchwatch2 DLLs.zip" into the program folder of TouchWatch2 (\Programs\TouchWatch2). Maybe this will work for you.
Looking good!
This is coming along very nicely! The problem with v1, where the form filled only 1/4 of the screen, has been resolved, and I like the addition of the stopwatch and the additional options. I also like the way it now ties in with the TF3D look.

Using a recently purchased HTC Touch Diamond, I got the same problem, but installing Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 did the trick.

2) The top bar is very, very tiny. It's impossible to click the area to minimize or close the app.
Suggestion: Add soft-keys on the bottom bar, like Menu (close; minimize; about) and Settings on the other side.

Agree with both of these points. The standard top bar, with the Windows menu, system icons and close button, should be retained, and menus added to the bottom bar (Menu and Settings or File and Options, perhaps).
Final suggestions: it would be good if the sound selection dialog allowed browsing to other file locations, and it would be helpful if there was a sound test button.
A great little app - thank you!

Hi,
you can browse files anywhere on your device. Use the UP button. If you select a sound, it plays once.
Thanks for all your feedback.

The timers will stop if the device is in standby. There is no workaround. It's depending on the Windows Mobile architecture.

Does Chronos suspend the default standby, and just lock the keys and power the screen off? - WM stops most processes running to extend battery life.
Thanks for the update to TouchWatch!

Chronos even keeps running when i put my tytn2 manually in stand-by with the power button.
So i guess it goes realy in stand-by or chronos is doing something even when you put it manually in stand-by, not for sure.
CURRENT VERSION A4 (Updated 01/08/08)
Alright, so after some tweaking, I decided to release my Devonshire WAD2 QVGA theme
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have Calibri font installed on your Pocket PC! If you do not have it, follow the instructions found here: http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/03/download-windows-vista-fonts-legally.html

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The tabs are HOME, WEATHER, AGENDA, APPS & SETTINGS, and CONTACTS
History
A4: Fixed the change page gestures and refined the apps & settings page and the contacts page
A3: Home tab tweaked to add on the most used apps popup menu these items: bluetooth status, volume status & pending notifications. Apps & Settings tab completed: Now has 3 pages for apps, 2 pages for settings. Contacts tab completed: Now has 3 pages for contacts.
A2: Minor tweaks, plus better layout for weather
HOME
Pressing on the Home tab at the very bottom opens up WM5NewMenu, which is similar to the left softkey but customizable. I highly suggest you look for it and install it. Otherwise, just link it back to the left softkey.
The four main buttons above it are the Menu Button, Phone Button, AltTab Button, and S2U2 Button
If you need AltTab, it can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3137583&postcount=10
Pressing on the left button (Menu) opens up the menu with your most-used apps. In version A3, I also added notifications for bluetooth, sound, and pending notifications. In the zip file, I also left the graphics for wifi, if you decide to switch any of them.
Pressing the analog clock opens up the indicators strip:
I also added a popup calendar which comes up when you press on the date at the top.
WEATHER
This tab uses WAD2's internal weather program. You can always change it to Weatherpanel, of course.
I changed the layout and the arrow to make it look nicer and provide more information.
I use the Yahoo weather icons from PhatPhinger for my layout, since not all of the Weatherpanel Diamond icons work properly. I attached the zip of the two set of icons for it.
AGENDA
For the sake of compatibility, this also uses WAD2's internal agenda. The links for tasks and appointments go to Agenda One, however. You can change those easily.
APPS & SETTINGS
The apps & settings tab has 3 pages for apps and 2 pages for settings, with 11 slots in each page. The arrows changes the pages.
Pressing on "Apps" will change it to "Settings", and vice versa.
The "App" tab on the very bottom opens up Resco file explorer,
CONTACTS
The contacts tab has 3 pages for contacts similar to the apps and settings tab. The "missed calls" text will also open the missed calls screen.
The "Person" tab on the very botom opens up VITO FunContact, but you can change it to any contact apps that you use.
Any feedbacks?
Hi! great work!
In my opinion only the weathertab is not really fitting to your desing of the other pages... it's a little bit too Manila like...but well, it's only me!
Thx for sharing!

Looks great ! Good job !
A couple notes:
1. For some reason, the ditigal time on my Home Tab was messed up. It showed the time as 4:30 A and then underneath it AM. I fixed it, but don't know if it was a bug or just my phone.
2. In Calendar Tab, the lines 0 Tasks Due Today and 0 Tasks Overdue where spilling over on to the calendar.
3. For some reason, the controls are inverted (i.e. if I am at the Home Tab and press left, instead of going to Contacts Tab, it goes to Weather Tab. Any way to fix this?
4. The Contacts Tab only has one page currently. Update?
Other than that, I love the theme. Possibility of landscape being added?

Okay, cool. I will re-install that tomorrow.
I have a suggestion/request if possible:
Is there any way to change the 3rd (AltTab) and 4th (S2u2) pictures into BlueTooth and WiFi.
Those are a bit more practical, especially since I don't know what AltTab does and don't use s2u2.
Also, I know landscape might be hard/time consuming, so is there a way to get simple landscape (e.g. maybe just a Home Tab w/ texts, e-mails, calls and time listed or something?
I use landscape a lot w/ my Tilt since I use it for texting.

Well, it's actually pretty easy for you to customize it and change the function under Author Mode for those two buttons. AltTab is a great little software that allow you to change programs, just like hitting Alt+Tab on your computer keyboard.
S2U2 is one of the most popular screen lock around and it started here on Xda-Developer. Do a search on it =D
I uploaded the AltTab program. Just copy the folder into your Program Files folder in your phone.

But I am a little confused by instructions (yeah thick headed I know) I have added theme to my Themes folder under "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes" this is on device mem.

1. Copy the folder "Devonshire" into "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes"
2. On your storage card's root folder, copy the folder "Wisbar Advance Desktop." This is where the graphics are and the link has to be the same, or else you'd have to manually redefine each gfx file.

I can't get the slider to work ...
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:

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.

it had a int(x) code to make number into a full decimal number, but mortscript cant recognize it like that... :/

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.

You mean you can use it without the 96dpi .cab? Be more specific please!(A)
Which Device do you have, and which ROM, and your screen resolution?
Thanks in advance!

It was nice..everything work fine.
The only thing i don't understand, why i cannot change the background? And also how to re-arrange the widget position on homescreen?
For example i want to put the weather widget on today screen..but it always appear above the other widgets and i cannot move it..is there any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Moving the widgets (REGISTRY)
1) Right soft key \ Add new widget
2) Start Registry Editor and pont to HKLM\Software\SPB Mobile Shell\Widgets
3) Determine the name of the current panel (in my case Weather Panel). Choose folder based on these rules:
Lifestyle Panel - HomeScreen
Application Panel - HomeScreen2
Music Panel - HomeScreen3
Weather Panel - HomeScreen4
Internet Panel - HomeScreen5
So my choice is Homescreen4.
4) Choose the folder with the maximum integer value, since tha newly added widget should be the last one.
(in my case 35)
5) So now in the Name field I got Analog Clock - so that's my widget.
6) Edit the _tl_320_240 field - that's the position field.
7) Value inside is HEX value (make sure you check the HEX check box) in the following format:
yyyxxx - where yyy are y values and xxx are x values
Bare in mind that 10 in HEX is 16 in decimal, so you don't get all confused.

you can't change the background 'cause the option's not working right now. i hope that someone will make it work and share. that was original point of this thread. positioning and rearanging is described and illustrated in the first post, you should read that, or try with the fake cursor. you can't do it easier 'cause you don't have touch screen, but changing the registry keys is not as hard as it seems, trust me... btw which device and rom do you use?

yeah it works with out the 96dpi cab i have s620-dash tmo running 3VO 3.50 320x240 i see no reason to have it installed
Add my first post on this thread about Moving the Widgets to the First Thread!
Then you won't get any question about moving the Widgets! Maybe it's also easier to add some info about the project, what you did to port it and in which state of development it is, people can't further Develop this nice App if they don't know how you port and change it!

did you need the 96dpi.cab? So I can add your feedback to the 2th post!

but there is no option to go to options like programs, contacts, activesycn etc... there is only add widget, setting, change layout, change background and show today...
Click to expand...

yes, we've removed the links to those options from the menu bar, since there's more room on the screen like this. if you want links to contacts, or any other option of the shell you can place it on any panel you want as a new shortcut.
if you don't know how to do that here's the link:

the solution is described in the post, it just need a little testing, i'm kind of short with the spare time at the moment, let's hope someone will make it work really soon.
thanks for the feedback.
