thanks for reporting.

it'll be fixed with next build hehe

i guess the xml of your call-log is corrupt.

The best you can do is to rename your xml and let HS++ create a new one :(

btw. did you read the release notes when the xml changed to unicode? There was an important note for keeping the old xml-format.

I've emphasized that release notes (i guess) two month...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rocky0:
help!!!

Hello Ikarus,

First thank you for your job HS++ is an excellent soft.

but i've got just a little problem, the download link on your website doesn't work for the last release.

PS: Sorry for my poor english :)

pps: salut lepsyfou!!! t'es partout :)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
hi Ikarus,

Your plugin just keeps getting better and better! :D

I'm having some confusion with the gesture commands - is there a specific view attribute for left or right? Or just gesture="1" for either?

thanks and sorry for the silly question.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
nice to see you prscott1!

you don't need an attribute.. just use the gesture.. can it be simpler? hehe

the next build introduces a gesture-attribute (for Window/Row/View), which allows you to disable the gestures, but gestures are enabled by default.

Thanks for your reply..however, i tried as recommended with no success.

No xml file is re-created after i rename the old one.:(

btw, where could i find the important released note on the old xml-format mentioned above? I looked around..did some search both here and your site...no success....

Thanks in advance
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
did you applied custombg to Window-Tag?

you could use selmode="2"

if it doesn't work, then i could trace the code with your theme (this weekend hehe).

recreate should be invoked right after leaving the options.

you're right.. it's removed, because of some limitations hehe

The first post has a limit in size.. so i can't keep the release notes for months... i can keep the release for the last weeks only..

On the project-site i can't show any of the release-notes, since it makes the site more and more confusing... and it seems that this change happens before i reworked my website.. so it's really long time ago...

But you can believe me and i guess there are user can confirm, that i've emphasized to rename the BSCalltimes.xml.. otherwise the xml gets corrupted.

The next build comes with AppToDate-Support, so you can keep HS++UI up to date with that tool.

Bug!

On my QTEK S200 device I use the Homescreen ++ UI Ver. 1.06.339 rc1.

While I used the standard 1200mAh battery, everything was fine...but when i change the battery to the new extended (1800mAh) version, the battery status and the powerdrain are wrong...:confused:

In standby mode (CPU: 143MHz) the powerdrain is 481-642mA :eek:

In charging mode, the powerdrain is +642mA !!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] me:
Plus Plus Problem

Hello,

I have used your Battery Status plugin for months, and I like its features.

I am using it on a T-Mobile (USA) MDA (HTC Wizard), running WM5, latest official ROM 2.26.

I recently downloaded and installed your new version, called Home Screen Plus Plus, version 1.06.340.rc1. (Is that the newest one?) I have had a problem with it, however.

I have it configured (as with Battery Status) to use the Tray Launch feature (very handy). Within that Tray Launch, I have it configured to show the Phone, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi icons, as well as icons to start some apps. (Enough to fit on one row.)

Well, now since I upgraded to plus plus, although the app icons still show, the settings icons for phone, bluetooth, and wi-fi are all missing.

I click on the settings icon, go to the Tray Launch tab, and see that those three missing icons are listed there with a check, as icons that are chosen to show in the tray. However, they don't show.

I even tried deselecting those three icons, clicked OK, then went back to that settings page, and selected them again, OK. I still don't see them, just empty space on the row, where those icons appeared previously.

What happened? How can I get those icons back?

Or, is it a flaw in this new version? Should I regress to an earlier one? What is the latest one that does not have this problem?

Thank you.

registry_tracker TAG

I'm trying to execute an app the path of which is written in a registry key.

I use the following code

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="%s" >

<image left="-240" top="150" />

<registry key_value="HKCU\Test\TEST1" />

</Item>

Where TEST1 is a registry string value containing the path of the app to execute. Although I tried to exhaustion but I can't manage to run the app. Can someone tell me where I'm wrong?

thanks

Any help with this?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you can do at least two things.. either wait until someone has time to help you..

or maybe something not so obvious at first glance... do a search hehe

Your issue has been solved some posts ago.. see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2588760&postcount=4047

The next build comes with a fix for that special situation.

the idea is good, but the semantic or usage of xml is not correct.

I'll see whether that can be implemented.. could this be a feature request?

could you check the manual (Basic Edition)

http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_def_im_cs.htm

and/or the faq

Rendering bugs and question

Hi ikarus

Bug 1

See screenshot 1.

To reproduse: click on "weather" button and then click on 1-st row.

But with animate='1' - works fine.

Bug 2

See screenshot 2. Take a look on trash before icon of 2-nd row.

Tap and hold on 2-nd row, and then icon streched - release.

Question

Situation: the row contains 2 view. By clicking on empty space of row - HS switch view. Is it possible to prevent it?

All files are attached.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rocky0:
Very good question... i hope it is possible :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Hi Ikarus, while I was browsing my HDD I found a tool I began work on, to create HS++ skins.. I know you're already pretty busy, but I thought it would be of interest for HS++, so I'm posting here that pre-alpha non-working-at-all GUI :)

If anyone is interested in resuming the work, I can post the source.

It's using a simple but powerful script language, so anyone even without programing skills should be able to work on it. Right now it's only a basic GUI that doesn't do anything interesting, but hey that's still an idea :D

Once it's finished it could let many people create skins easily, quickly and efficiently since it is (was) supposed to avoid human errors.

Please PM me if interested.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Black-Rose:
Hi Ikarus,

I've been trying Second Today and the idea is good! Specially in combination of TodayAgenda. Only one thing I've notice:

The program is called in the TaskManager. I'm use to close all programs with one button. Then Today² will turn off too.

Could you make Today² not like a program but like a part of the OS.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:

Hi,

I tried to use gesture="0" in row and in view attribut but it doesn't work. what is it the good syntaxe ?

thank you for your help
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
at first.. i'm very busy with my research, but i'm still spending time on the project weekends :D

you're welcome ;)

thanks for reporting!! it'll be fixed with next build!

it will be changed with next build!

great work!!!

i thought of a quickly prototyped c#-app which makes use of the device emulator for theme-preview. The app should allow editing the xml (following the latest xml-schema HomeScreen.xsd), copy images, resize images, convert images, build theme-folders/theme-cabs, and handles theme-previous in an automatically manner...

but less time hehe..

If there are developer interested in helping.. i would start the project..

i could allow empty titles with a next version -> then it doesn't appear in the taskmanager (but you have to bring it to foreground by starting the exe again).

You could have the same if you add SecondToday to the exception list of your taskmanager.

A good taskmanager should omit closing SecondToday then.

oh hehe.. i heard about Ike.. hope you're well.

what exactly do you want to have?

the syntax is ok, but maybe you have not understand the usage?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rocky0:
ikarus,

First thank you very much for your answer

Yes, it's possible that I don't understand the usage.

In fact i only want to use the bottom row to change the view on the upper row (I hope I'm clear!!!!) that's why i want to disable gesture on the upper row

the 2nd probleme is the bug about the clicking on empty space of row (for that, i'm waiting the new release!!!)

PS: i use a Winmobile team Rom (V4 diamond inspirate) the same that you show on your website (customise by Lepsyfou)

PPS: Sorry for my english
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dan_ru:
Hi ikarus

There are more bugs :)

Bug 3:HS did't show icon of link with relative path.

See test_03.

Bug 4:

"cpu_utilization" did't updated if it covered alpha-blended image.

See test_04.

Suggestion:

How about a new action for "ontap" - for toggle sound+vibra/vibra_only/slient?

There is a small code to do this. I think - it must work at all devices. Any way - it works fine on my device :)

hwndTaskbar = FindWindow(L"HHTaskBar", NULL);
SendMessage(hwndTaskbar, WM_USER+132, 2, 0); // mode = 0 - sound, 2 - vibra, 3 - silent

Also will be great if You add one more action - for SendMessage() to some application by class name or window name. It very powerfull.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
ok.. then you should add an attribute gesture="0" to the upper Row. Then view-switching by left/right-gesture is disabled for that Row..

but -> What may confuse is the ontap-action of the Items. If it's ToggleView (either set by you or derived as default by superclass), then the View gets switched because you tapped the Item. A solution for this situation is to add ontap="DoN" or "DoNothing" to the Items within the View.

don't mind.. as i already posted often.. my english is absolutely not good at all, but the fact is -> we have to find a base for our communication and there's only one solution -> using of english ;)

ok we could use cantonese as well, but i guess.. most of you don't speak cantonese hehe.. don't post cantonese.. i can only speak cantonese..

I'll ask back if i haven't understand a question.. that's for sure hehe.. if i have time hrhr :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
thanks for that idea :)

i didn't know that it could be useful. I would toggle volume by communiating with the driver, but if SendMessage works, then it could be a good extension hehe

btw. i would change it to PostMessage...

what about adding this to tinybatch?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
would be great for a profile manager :)

I completely agree, while I can't find any use right now, I'm sure there will be many !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rocky0:
I have cleaned my xml and now the the gesture attribut work well. thank's

An other question. the slide betwen 2 views is like ring left<->right. is it possible to have a up<->down slide always like a ring? :)

Ok for cantonese !!! it will be a little bit longer to translate (i've got some chinese student and phd on my laboratory !!!!) no... ok so let's go for english and it's a good training for me!!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dan_ru:
If You know a different way to swith sound+vibra/vibra_only/slient - please send it to me.

For example: To perform force update in Spb Weather plugin.

You are right - 'PostMessage' are more proper for this task.

Such simple action did't realy requare to use the external tool. If I need complex action - I use MortScript.

So, I think, it can be in both aplication (HS and tinybatch).

And one more Suggestion:

What about to some changes:

make <row> and <view> more like <item> by adding actions: ontap, onhold, ongesture-left, ...

Values for this action may be such as 'None', 'ToggleRow', 'ToggleView' + maybe same actions from <item>

Version 1.06 - build 0342 - 09/19/2008:

- changed: do nothing on tap of empty area (area with no Item beneath)

- added: actiontype for SoftReset ( ontap="SoftReset" )

- added: top/down-gesture

- added: round incoming calltimes in options

- added: Language-IDs 1603 (Outgoing), 1604 (Incoming) for "Round CallTimes" (HSLanguage Updated)

- added: log missed calls to CallTimes.xml

- removed: default startapp of mobile operator (starting of commanager)

- fixed: Allow up to 255 Views and up to 255 Rows

- fixed: Update Region for selmode="x"

- added: attribute (in View-Tag) for extending "Reach"/"UpdateRegion" of a View, e.g. extend="6" for 6 pixels.

This is particularly for sliding Views that have Items which are oversized if selected,

that is they overlap with adjacent Views.

Don't extend a View if it's not needed, because it could reduce render performance

Hi ikarus,

in 342 release i have a image rendering problem

Can you see a tiny white line in slide bar that remains after a slide move??

Can you solve this??

In this release the speed of flip animation changed, did you change something??

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you're welcome :)

great :)

there are performance improvements for rendering. In most cases you don't have to do anything, but in your case you should add an attribute extend="1" (for 1 pixel) to the sliding View. See release notes.

It's a little bit slower then, but i guess you're selmode/imagealt overlap with the View above.

yes.. is it better now? or was it better with the previous release?

No ikarus, i actually have image/imagealt with the same size
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
ok.. let's wait for some feedback hehe

i've optimized them a little for working fluidly with VGA as well.

hm.. strange.. the previous build has an extend of 6 pixels by default, which i've changed to 0, but allow theme-makers to specify it explicitly with the extend-attribute.

i've decided this way, because it's an performance improvement in most of the cases.

Add the extend-attribute and it should work as before.

Note: this is only for sliding views. Any other views are handled as always.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hi RedUser, many thanks for the update :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
ok.. i've checked the code again, but it really seems that the image is overlapping the view above.

Is that possible, that you've placed the image with something like top="-x" or so?

I could make extend="6" as default, but theme-makers have to set it to extend="0" for that performance improvement. I guess this isn't the right way, because if you don't know about the extend-attribute, you'll have a slower sliding view.

FYI: if an Item of a View overlaps another View for >= 1 pixel, then the render-logic has to check if there is something to render in that view as well.. and for a sliding view, this has to be done very often.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zimaia:
Problem solved :)

You are right, i had the botton bar with "top=-2"

How to define a fixed place fpr icons

Hi ikarus, first of all thanks for that great app.

I'm just beginnig to understand the full power you provide with it.

I have theme in mind where I want to define icons with system informations at the place of the taskbar (which is disabled). So I need to define a row/view with a hight of 25 which is fixed at 270. I realised it by defining a view with hight 295, But this ends in displacement by adding new HS-plugins. Is there any possibility to fix those icons?

Thanks in advance.

I guess in about 3 to 4 weeks, when i come back from my last official journey and have more time, then i'll think about a new theme for HS++UI, which makes use of all the great ideas i've seen from theme-makers so far hehe

Maybe some theme-maker want to help?

It's just that the default-theme doesn't show the potentials of HS++UI and an advanced-theme could do. There are also some thoughts i had, when designing the concepts, which haven't been used. (At least i have not seen, but i have not studied any theme hehe)

ok back to your question hehe
