Request for help!

After I have seen all those great works you've done, I'm a little bit afraid to ask you for help! But I know that you can help me, when I see those awesome works?!

I'd like to have a very simple looking row with only the information and the positions you can see in the attached picture! I wanted to create it by myself, but after 2 hours trying, I have to say that I'm to stupid for that!

I hope someone can do it for me and attach the *.xml file here?!

Perhaps there are some icons that can also be replaced, but that is secondary!

Thanks for your help!

StartApp with parameters

Hi all. I developed a small app, I need to pass two parameters, but if I use this:

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Program files\MyApp.exe Param1, Param2" >

I got an error message, indicating that can't find "Param1 or one of his dependencies".

The question is... how can I set the parameters for an application?

BTW, sorry for my English :)

Off the top of my head I think this should work...

The :: after the program executable defines the following text(s) are parameters.

I won't be mad if you take other icons, but please attach them :-)!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Are you wanting to eliminate the top original windows row? You need to run one of the todaytoggle programs (vijay has some excellent tools) first - then the BatterySTatus theme will become the top row. You can search for toggletoday in the forum to find the links.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] sinoo:
No no, the original top bar shall stay the same! It's just the position of the text and icons like they're shown in the attached pics! Don't know how to make them stay in a line - horizontal and vertical...

WirelessSwitch Icons

In case any one might be interested here are some good looking icons for the wireless switch. Enjoy;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Hmm can anyone spot my two mistakes here?

Snippet of my .xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Window xmlns="[URL]http://www.chi-tai.info/BatteryStatus[/URL]" imagesrc="spmwinkel_3" animate="0" >

My two problems:

1) I want to tap on the (12) text item to open Newsbreak, but it doesn't work.

2) Where is my "memory_data" meter? Left/Top values might be a bit off but I should be able to see it right?

Thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
@spmwinkel :

first you have to use StartApp instead of start_app

for memory_data : make changes to left , top , sure it is not showned because of your values , try to remove top = -1 and the left =-25
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
Hi ikarus

I'm at the build 0320 and I have a little problem with tPlug about Plugins with quotes : for exemple Spb Weather key is inthe Registry "Spb Weather"

I've tried title=""Spb Weather"" like you've mailed me but it doesn't work for me on build 320 , I had to rename the key and it is perfect but I had to Rename the key , sure it is not a good thing

I have already the problem that I can't use anymore Plugin in Advanced Tab since a problem in installing a cab ( I've tried to install TodayAgenda on SD Card and it fails , lol yes I'm trying first the install always on SD Card to keep safe my Main memory) , it is not a great problem now with your tPlug but it is annoying

BTW it is a Very Good program , I like it , now it is my only today plugin (all other (weather , music, face contact) are in my theme now
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Hey, thanks!! This helped me solve my issue with NewsBreak. Not only did I change it to StartApp, but I also moved it to the

<Item class="registry_tracker" >

line instead of in the <Label /> line. Now Newsbreak opens when I tap on the amount of new RSS items! :)

This is a bit harder. I've removed all Left and Top attributes so the image and label tags are now empty. It still doesn't appear, though.

The thing is: even if I move the entire

<Item class="memory_data" >

to the top (between <View height="18" > and <Item class="battery_meter" >), I still don't see anything. It just moves the battery meter a bit to the right, probably because the memory item does take some width somewhere. I just don't know how to make it visible. :confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
change the view height to have more ( 40 for exemple)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Doesn't work unfortunately. No matter if I place the memory item at the top or bottom, it still doesn't show up with a View with height="40".:o
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
try this:

<Item type=Iconvalue" class="memory_data"
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Didn't work either, same result. Tried without any image/label attributes, and also with them. Also tried a little left="-5" but didn't change anything.

If I put your suggestion at the end I see no difference, if I put it at the beginning it just moves the other stuff a bit to the right.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
just curious.. do you have memory-indicator (Indicators Tab) in options enabled?

hm.. are you sure that there was no typo? Maybe there is a space-character at the end?

You could use the online-validator in order to ensure that the xml is valid.

hm.. strange..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you could use absolute-coordinates and provide absolute-coordinates if that is easier for you.

e.g.

<Window absolute="3"...

then left = x

and top = y

see manual http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_cust_im_cs.htm#absolute

so.. for absolute="3" it's recommended to specify multi="1" for each View in order to get the correct recognition of Items when tap.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
I had the first checkbox on that Tab disabled, so there were no other options... After enabling the first checkbox and closing the settings, I have my memory meter! (Well at the moment I see the text, but that´s enough to probably also move the image inside the view. Not that I want that, but I want to know where it is so I can move it just outside my screen)

Thanks!

So should we as a general rule say:

Anything that you want to be visible must also be enabled in the Options?

So if I have WiFi settings disabled in the Indicators tab, they also won't show in my theme even if I have a section for it?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] sinoo:
There is still one problem: I don't know how to do it, and I even don't understand the manual so far!

Had another idea, by just showing 5 icons in a row and the values in that icon, just like mr_deimos or dboris did it before, but mine is not working.

Screen01.jpg shows what I got! Screen02.jpg shows what I imagined it should look like!

Can someone please look at it and correct it to make it work!? PLEASE!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm...

you should use BatteryStatus a while with the default-theme, then you know what you can enable/disable by options.

Almost any of the advanced xml-classes depends only on xml. The classic classes depends on options as well.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] BzeBwoi:
I'm trying to add BSweather to my current modified xml theme.

The original theme is BS_LantisClockTheme.

How do i go about adding bs weather to the second to last row?

PS: Here's my current xml file in txt format.

PPS: How can I shift the entire Quick Menu Row to be centered?

TIA
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] holmanm:
You have to Zip it or rename it to a .txt file and tell people to rename it to .xml after downloading.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] waynehathaway:
This theme is great. Lots of capability. I am having a problem getting bsweather to work though. Every time I try to upload I get an error that says it cannot find accuW.dll. I searched to see if this was on the forum but could not find it.

hi all im using the dboris hhmod theme for battery status and am trying to swap the mms icon/count for an rss icon and count from rss hub, just found the key with the countit at HKCU\Software\Ilium Software\Rss Hub\NewsItemsCount

however my mod just seems to break it, anyone here good with batterystatus?

Original xml file.

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="InboxMms">

<image src="MMS%d.png" left="0" />

<label text="%d" suppress0="1" fontsize="+3" bold="1" color="ffffff" left="-28" width="30" align="center">

<registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Messages\mms\Unread\Count" />

</label>

</Item>

and then my version

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="InboxMms">

<image src="rss%d.png" left="0" />

<label text="%d" suppress0="1" fontsize="+3" bold="1" color="ffffff" left="-28" width="30" align="center">

<registry key_value="HKCU\Software\Ilium Software\RSS Hub\NewsItemsCount" />

</label>

</Item>

i have created the relevant rss0 and rss-1 graphics same as the mms but when i load my version of the mod that icon or where the mms icon would be is gone completely and the two other icons get shunted to the left in its place, but it does seem to be there because if i click to the right of the first icon it loads the "inboxmms" which i havent changed yet, that will ultimately need to be linked to rsshub.

Hope all this makes sense.

sorry that,

I find that memory_sdcard cannot read the Internal Storage of HTC Touch Diamond,

Can anyone let me know the class name for it?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Well sdcard obviously is internal storage. ;)

I use class="memory_data" :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hkultraman:
What I mean is to display the free Internal Storage of the 4Gb flash of Diamond?

is memory_data really work?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Hmm well for me it works, on my TyTn II. Of course the Diamond is a different device and perhaps the kind of storage is different. I suggest that you try it (because it works for me), and if it doesn't work perhaps ikarus could implement a fix for this (if he has a Diamond to test on ;) ).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hkultraman:
Oh, just checked.

actually, I have memory_data for displaying free memeory (RAM) atm, i think may need ikarus for help this time.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes it is working, but unfortunatelly i haven't figured out how to get the name of such a custom flash memory (at least it can't be read out from registry).

So you have to specify the name in BS-Registrykey (see release notes of build 321)

- added: provide a custom Name for Storage (SD) by adding the registryvalue MemoryPath under BatteryStatus-Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus e.g. MemoryPath = "Internal Memory"

I know you have read it and just have forgotten since there was so many fixes hehe

There may be a better support in future, but don't know yet..

Edit: Use class="memory_sdcard"

PNG Format

I'm trying for hours now to show an image in PNG-format, but it simply doesn't work. When exchanging my image with an image of a working sample theme in the xml the other image shows, so it's not a problem with the xml coding, but with my image itself.

I tried to save with MS Paint and Irfanview also, because I thought Photoshop PNGs might be incompatible, but neither way worked. The images I saved were all 32bpp including transparency.

I attached the image to the post. Could someone please tell me what is wrong with that image and with which editor I should save the PNGs to be compatible?

Greetings

Achim
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
i guess it's your xml hehe

i've just tried it and the image works perfectly ;)

see:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you could try specifiying the width/height. Maybe your icon's size isn't appropriate.

Hi ikarus

Reporting my problem with today's plugin

it was a problem with TouchCommander , I've removed it and now I am able to manage plugins like before , so for the other user Pay Attention TouchCommander + BS = not a good couple of today's plugin (it seems that TouchCommander want to be alone LOL even if the plugin is not displayed)

about "Spb Weather" i don't understand , I've tried to test with&quot but doesn't work , perhaps must I test now without TouchCommander (my solution was to rename the key into the registry :D I know it is not recommended but it works !!!)

I'll subscribe to your forum for little bugs I have noticed (not very important but if you can fix them you'll be the best programer (BTW your are already the best Man :D)

Thanks!! It worked for Portland, OR weather. I am having problems getting it to work for my second city pick which is Burlington, VT. I am not sure why quite yet. I tested the second city with some other west coast cities and it works fine. If you have anymore light to shed, please let me know.

This theme is great. I love the apps page scrolling/sliding, the headline/ebay updates and view and all else.

The great thing about battery status is all the flexibility programmed in to modify according to your needs.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Wayne, glad you like the theme! :) I just updated that theme (xml and files) - I added a "quick pick" view and a stocks view to row 2 for quickly adding a new note, new contact, new task and new meeting. I added slide to the bottom theme row too with all new icons. It's pretty cool if you are interested.

I'm not sure why accuweather would have trouble with burlington VT! Hmmm.
