Hi Ikarus

ich hätte da noch einige Wünsche

1. schön wäre wenn man Animationen auswählen könnte für den View Wechsel

zum Beispiel das er beim Wechsel der Ansicht vielleicht von oben nach unten hinein blendet und das Einstellbar für jeden einzelnen Ansichtswechsel

2. wenn man Ansichten, beim durchblättern der Ansichten, ausschließen kann und nur einblenden wenn man sie direkt anspricht

So könnte man mehrere Tabs machen, aber den Bereich auch nutzen um auf einen Button Informationen einzublenden.

Hi Ikarus

because I had a few wishes

1. would be nice if you could select animations for the view exchange

For example, when he may change the view from the top down and fades into, this Adjustable for each change of view

2. if one views the scroll by, and may exclude only show when they negotiate appeal

This could be multiple tabs, but the area also use a button to access information.

ps: how can i deactivate the gestures for one row?

Version 1.05.121 - build 0305 - 05/07/2008:

- added: "Use Gesture"-Option for Today-Plugins

- changed: use default-height of 16 only if multi="1" for a View

I'll think about your suggestions, but busy again with my new job :D

Remind me in some weeks for the case i can't remember hehe

with build 0305.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] eumel79:
Great ;) you are the fastest man i've, ever seen ;)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
Is there a way of turning off the BS' behaviour on DPad-left for some rows? Like for today-plugins rows?... Let's look for example on TodayAgenda - on dpad-left it's opening/closing its tree, now it's impossible, 'cause it simply hides the whole row ;)

Did you catch, what I'm trying to say? ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] avn:
And how about no official method? :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] avn:
Thanks. A good thougt...:)

Hi ikarus

I have a problem with build 0305

when I tap on this line it s like there is no App

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\windows\tasks.exe">

<label text="Taches Actives : %d" left="4" top="34" valign="top" width="220">

<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Tasks\Active"/>

</label>

</Item>

at the level 0304 it was working well

some little problem with display but I can change it

A little question : Is it possible to show the signal of the operator with a png or bmp image ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
this could be a good example to show what has changed in build 0305 (and what the release notes mean).

It's better to show the xml for the complete View, because i guess you have placed at least one Item vertically above the other one. Right?

If yes, then such a View must have multi="1" in the View, because it simulates multiple Rows.

It was a long discussion by email with several theme-makers, but the decision was right for build 0305.

If you have only one "Row" within a View, then the height from View is used for containing Items.

If you have multiple "Rows" within a View (multi="1"), then the height for containing Items is defaulted to 16.

This way, BS stays compatible with available Themes and you as a theme-maker have to decide about the multi-attribute in View-Tag.

yes, you should ask in the theme-forum. I know at least one who can help you with this.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
thank you ikarus

it is perfect

you are a champion :)

WM crashing when counting call times

I'm using BS build 305 in a ETENX500+ (Panot lighttrom). If I activate the option to count call times, the device sometimes freezes when I start or end a call. Only option is to reset it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] eumel79:
Hi Ikarus

i have a feature request, can you integrate a height function for Rows?

the Problem is, that every integrated TodayPlugin has different heights, and by the view change, the rows have different Positions.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
bump 4 that.

(some plugins have autoheight feature, tho, i.e. pbreeze - VERY useful function).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] opuscroakus:
I am also having this problem. I have tried someones suggestion to reinstall the cab but this didn't work. Currently using 1.05.114 beta5 Build 0299
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] holmanm:
I assume you know you have to uninstall BS, delete \Windows\BatteryStatus\, remove HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus,

soft-reset

and then install again and soft-reset. If that dosen't work re-download BS and do all the above again. Here is post #3488 that shows the context menu items. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2101184&postcount=3488
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] opuscroakus:
I can make this happen after flashing my phone with a new build from the kitchen, DCD, No2Chem, etc. I can barebones the kitchen build and then install BatteryStatus as the first item and it will happen.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] holmanm:
Then download the latest build 306 from the first post and make sure you don't get the UPXed version.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. if it is reproduceable, then send me your email-address and we can try looking for the cause.

Just to be sure, you don't have any language-files for BatteryStatus installed?

good suggestion.

I'll release a new build with that feature, either in some hours or tomorrow.

Check your PM. If you want the help looking for the cause, then send me your email-address by PM.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Version 1.05.122 - build 0306 - 05/13/2008:

- fixed: using of gestures if plugins don't get unload on hide

- Options rearanged! Please let me know if you know how to design options for integrating todayplugins better

see build 0306.

Unfortunatelly the Advanced-Tab had to be rearranged. I know it isn't optimal and not really according to usability rules, but as you see there is a problem with available place :rolleyes:

suggestions how to do it better are welcome.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
ups.. true.. i've migrated and shifted my website-content to a new server, but uploaded the language-file from old-translation-system by mistake. Will update later on.

The website isn't fully ready yet, but it's useable i hope.

There is a lot of content and murphy isn't sparing me.. so let me know if you find mistakes..

yes, that's true. It's because the strings are subject to change and this section isn't finished yet.

As soon as the strings become final, i'll update the sources for language-file.

I'm about to rename the project, which also affects the translation-files. So too many tasks, which must be planed well at first :D

hehe.. that's why i say "not fully according usability rules"..

With "Edit", you only edit the content, but in order to save the content --> you must push the "Add to List"-Button.

If i have more time, i would spend more time on usability-aspect, but ...

Ideas how to improve usability of Advanced-Tab are still welcome.

A little question for all of the users of BatteryStatus

I have 1 soft reset each day minimum with BatteryStatus , do you have the same issue ? (with UL I can leave my PDA for days and days and no soft reset)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. i know the file contains private data, but i can only find the cause if i have a look at the xml-file. So.. could you send me the faulty file?

If yes, then send me your email by PM.

FYI: If the difference in version is too big, that is e.g. from 0274 to 0306, then the xml-file gets corrupt at all. There has been a lot of changes and BS tries keeping the data compatible by rewriting the xml, but if you omit important builds then the difference can't be handled by the compat-module.

In order to keep the compat-module small, it is designed to handle the last two changes in xml-structure.

But we assume you're a good beta-tester and update regularly :D

hm.. did you tried reconfiguring the settings for integrating today-plugins?

It's not required, but it could help.

For those having hangs with that feature: if you want to help resolving, then send me your email-address and i'll reply with a debug-version.

of course that's not normal :D

Do you have taskbar-options of BS enabled?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
hi ikarus

yes I have taskbar from bs enabled
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
this may be the problem. If you have BS taskbar-features enabled, then ensure there are no other taskbar-apps enabled or vice versa.

e.g. if you want to use wktask, pbar or ilauncher, then don't use BS taskbar-features.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Xda-Frank:
Great add-on. I just was wondering about the possibility to embed the service provider in the call time log (xml-file). Is that possible in one of the next versions?

Suggestion about integrating today plugins

hi ikarus

Suggestion about integrating today plugins: make ability to integrate it as item.

See screenshot. Highligted area - one tab from SPB Pocket plus with two integrated plugins and some buttons. But now with BS I can create tab with only one plugin. Plugin as item can help.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
Hi dan

you can add many plugin if you want with BS ( from build 0304) , I have two plugin now (Lock device and spb Weather)

just have to specify different number of view in using add in Advanced Options

sometimes it doesn't work (I've seen it depend on the position in the skin (at the end it seems to not work , but perhaps it is because I use AppLaunch to have a view with applications)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dan_ru:
Hi

Now is the only one way to create BS theme with tabs - switch visible view by ontap="View".

Take a look on Henry theme. Then try to add two today plugins into one tab... I did't find the way to do this.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
Yes I have Bshenry theme , modified for me in french (very little change) and I've added two plugins but not into the tabs , just before the Application Launcher , I can show you my screen this evening (in 7 hours)

Theme question

Hi all.

Although i have beem reading a lot and trying to configure my screen with only battery status i have a doubt. Hope you don't flame me and can easily say just a simple and straight "yes" or "no".

Seeing all this this i've tried to make one joining a few ideas from various themes. My questions is simple: can we make a theme with more than one row like this:

1st row... static

2nd row... based on Henry theme - BSHome (switiching from city to city)

3rd row... based on multiviews theme (switching 3 or 4 sets of icons)

Believe me... i've been trying hard to make this work and after all that i've read i'm still no sure if it's possible or not.

Thanks in advance :)

Draco
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
hi Draco

I think all is possible (except to switch between cities (or you have to make one xml by city and be able to choose them))

here is my BS theme (from BSHenry with Spb Weather added (advanced : Standalone Row))

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Version 1.05.123 - build 0307 - 05/15/2008:

- changed: options for integrating today-plugins

no one replied to me, so i'd assumed that the problem was solved hehe

i've asked to compare the behaviour of BS with other today-plugins showing the batterylevel and status.

no response means --> it is the same thus not a problem of BS, but a problem of the device's drivers --> nothing to do...

I would do it by myself, but it doesn't happen on my devices :(

hm.. what is is good for?

it may be useful for using a multi-sim-adaptor. Is that what you mean?

i'm still thinking about BS-XML :D and today-plugins..

it must be useable and that's what's important to me.

Integrating of Today-Plugins seems to be good useable so far, so i'll continue enhancing that feature.

btw. i'm now a researcher at university of augsburg and some of my topics are user interfaces, multi touch or multi modal UI's respectively interaction with such systems and something similar and i hope this project will give me stuff or experience for research ;)

so.. if you have a good idea, don't mind posting. If it's really something new or a good idea, then BS could be used to evaluate new ideas...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ajige:
today plugin as item

I think that would be a good idea, as I am trying to combine

- two plugins in one view

- one plugin with some text.

I guess a workaround would be to have them as different rows, but haven't quite figured that out yet.

Otherwise, thanks for a great program! I think it should be in the XDA developer section instead of the Prophet section to make more people aware of it though.:)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
Hi ikarus

in advanced tab I can specify height of plugin but is zero when I come and see after .

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] wenv:
ikarus Thanks for a great app.

I have a question for you and everyone else that is using the latest build of BS (1.05.126 - build 0309) Have anyone notice any instabilities with the intergrating UL with BS. What I notice is my PPC freezes when it wakes up from long sleep. I usually have to reboot it to get back to normal.

Ikarus what's good

I have a quick question about battery status, Does the omap overclocking work based on the pocket pc's mhz or are the omaping numbers preset?

Reason I'm asking is I'm gonna be buying the sony ericsson xperia x1 when it comes out, the mhz is 400 and the chip used in it is a qualcomm WOULD Batterystatus WORK ON A PHONE LIKE THAT OR NO?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
overclocking is hardware-specific, that is it does work only on omap-cpus.

The overclocking-modules (about 8-10 kB [Control/Resources/Options] of code) are (for now) completely disabled for any other cpu, thus it does not harm.

you can't see the advanced tab?

that's strange.

build 0309 should solve the freeze with today-agenda (it does at least on device emulator).

did you do that as mentioned directly after the title (first page):

- Copy CallLogs.exe to the same directory as BSCallTimes.xml

if yes, then i guess your xml-file is corrupt. The last 3 users having a corrupt xml-file tried to keep a big flat file by renaming and merging the xml-files. You should do that only if you know when an xml-file is well-formed.

Does that help?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Andreal:
I've just run v. 0309 and I can't make Today Agenda to work as integrated pluigin as well, but I don't have any freezes now :)

I tried few things:

1. I've made new empty row (5) (in xml) with empty view (1), after that I've tried to integrate TA with options: Row: 5, View: 1, Height : 0 or 100, standalone row, etc. - nothing happens

2. I've tried the same thing as above but with existing rows and next views - nothing happens.

What I'm doing wrong?

Edit:

Another freeze... with v.0309...BS not responding...even better - BS reinstalation needed...

I attach the theme to the post. I don't know what went wrong...

I made a button with

Version 1.05.127 - build 0310 - 05/21/2008:

- added: allow injecting today-plugins as last row respectively last view of a theme

I guess the batch-file can't be found. The following steps should work.

Copy your batch-file(s), TinyBatch.exe and RegistrySetString.exe into your theme-folder, e.g. \SD-Card\BSThemes\path\to\MyTheme (!!! only an example that does not work for sure !!!)

your script could look like:

RegistrySetString.exe "100 0 1"
Sleep 100
RegistrySetString.exe "100 1 1"

now you can start that with:

<Item class="space" ontap="StartApp" path="tinybatch.exe ::virtual_row1.bat" >
...
</Item>

I've attached a new example-theme to show you how easy things could be done hehe

perfect job about the plugins

for me all is working , even changing the heigh of TodayAgenda

and no more freeze adding plugins now , even if I forgot Standalone and the row and view don't exist
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
did you try increasing the wait time between?

e.g. Sleep 200

great :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
Still:

i changed between no sleep ,sleep100 , 1000, 200 nothing helped

I also changed the entry, so row 1 was changed before row 0 but still only the first mentioned row is changed
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
first of all. you should post such questions into the thread-forum, because there are other very good skin-makers can help you as well.

i've checked your attached xml and actually i don't understand what you want to do..

you have

1st Row -> 2 Views

2nd Row -> 1 View

<Window ...>
<Row absolute="3" rowtoggle="0" name="TOP">
<View height="70" multi="1" >
...
</View>

<View height="70" multi="1" >
...
</View>
</Row>

<Row absolute="3" rowtoggle="0" name="MAIN">
<View height="170" multi="1" >
....
</View>
</Row>
</Window>

You can't switch the second Row, because you have only one View??

Is there something i have not understand yet??

With the attached xml -> you should see only the first Row switching...

there is no second View to switch to.

Does that help?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
in the second row I want to add the todayplugin weatherpanel as a second view!

I tried also these changes with your example skin and no today Plugin and it doesn't work there either! Sorry!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
what's the build you're using?

I've just tried it with build 0310 and it works fine.

oh and i saw that in your theme-folder, there is no RegistrySetString.exe.

You should place that where TinyBatch.exe is. Otherwise you should use the complete path in your batchfile.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
I'm using 310 and the RegisrtySTring.exe is in the right folder now! Would it help to test a Mortscript instead of Tinybatch?

Something strange happens now! both row chage, but only when I hit one small area of the hole Button
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
i guess it's the same.

Could you attach the theme-files you're using, so that we can have a look at what you've done.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
This should be the actual Theme!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
it is working even with weatherpanel. Are you sure the weatherpanel-view has been injected correctly?

Can you see the wetherpanel-view by manual switching of the view?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ruebyi:
yes! everything is correct! weatherpanel ist set to row 1 and view 1 none of the other Opions are used!

switching back is no Problem, only switching to weatherpanel!

Edit.: Sometimes everything works right, sometimes only row 0 changes! it's strange, It's one specific Area I have to hit!

I will show you on a screen!
