great :)

Let me know if there is a need for further extensions on this topic.

btw. i've release an very early alpha version of SecondToday which behaves like the default-todayscreen. This way you can use e.g. TouchFlo 3D and all your today-plugins (wrapped by SecondToday).

Many thanks! :)

I presume you are using RealVGA for your i780? if so you can drop by this post.

I have remapped slikkie's (Thanks slikkie!) sbsh weather diamond theme to fit into the square screen of the i780. Hop over and see for yourself....

P/S: I'm using i780 too.... :)

Like to check is it difficult to include a "Seconds" digital counting display besides the

main digital clock?

Hey sorry I missed your reply - I don't check the Prophet forum very often as I don't have one...

I have not posted a final version of my theme because it was created in Wisbar Desktop 2 and it is still in Beta. Once WAD2 is released (not candidate versions) I will try to put it out. The great thing about WAD2 is you really don't need any other plug ins - or Wisbar Advance. The weather pulls from the same format and themes as Weather Panel, but you don't even need it installed to work.

I have been giving some feedback to "jdume" that has created a great WAD2 theme as well. Here are a couple posts if you want to look into it further:

Hi slikkie

first thanks for your nice BS skin.

We take a little hand on your skin and its a really perfekt skin and make some changes from the used icons. see first picture...

to make it the best bs skin, we are missing an alarmclock icon. Its only working when you only take your clock without your animation.

see pictures 2 & 3. Now the question:

Do you have any idea to make the animated clock work with an alarmclock icon.

Thanks for your help

regards

anja31
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] slikkie:
Nice going. As you can see i changed the icons myself too. Also changed

clock background and removed voicemail. I also removed differt views of the rows so i now only have this clock. I like it best. (this is not posted) Now for your answer....

I wouldn't know that, i never tried it. But you can switch off the animation

and still have two clock types. I would try that, just switch off the animation.

Very curious about the result, let me know.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Pogo:
counter clock

Here is counter clock version. I was using animated gif file 1counter.gif. File can be found at many animated gif websites - it should be free for non-commercial use, I can't find author's name. I unpacked pictures and resized them little bit.

Hi All!

Short question: is there any batterystatus theme without clock but with mail, sms, call info and launchers?

Thank you
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nihil0:
Hi,

I use BS since 2-3 months, and it is an excellent plugin.

I have 2 problems:

1.) I use a self maded mini theme (is in attachement). If the TaskBar Indicator is on, the speed of the CPU will be shown, but the CPU actual usage in percentage is not shown. How can I switch it on? (Please see attached pictures.)

2.) I use a Trinit (HTC P3600) with WM6.1. The boot time of the device increases more then 1 minute if the BS plugin is installed in a newer OS version (like 19701 Build 19701.1.0.2 or 19213 Build 19213.1.0.4). I downgraded the OS version to WM6.1 Build 19209.1.0.2 and the boot time is not increased because of the BS plugin. Is this problem already known? Is teher a sollution for that?

Thank you in advance!

All the files needed for batterystatus are in the "slick" folder.

All the files needed for weather are in the skins folder.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Can anyone help me find a registry key (or another way) to show the amount of Tasks that are active today?

In two posts (this one and this one) I´ve found themes that make use of <registry key_value="HKCU\System\State\Tasks\Active" />.

However, for me this shows the amount of ALL my tasks, not just the ones that are active today.

I've tried using the Due Today registry key, but it only shows the tasks that have the Ending Date today. This is a problem for a task that I schedule with a start and due date, because it completely ignores the start date. Because of that, I'm only notified about my task when I have only one day left to work on it.

I would like to see the combined amount of:

tasks that have no start/due date at all

tasks that have the due date on today

tasks that have the due date in the future, but the start day has passed already (for example: a task that started yesterday and is due tomorrow)

So if I have two tasks without date, one that is due today, and one that is due tomorrow but the start date has passed already, I want to see the number 4.

I tried to insert the Tasks today plugin into Battery Status using the Battery Status Settings applet but it didn't work, for some reason the Calendar, Tasks etc. plugins are not in the list.

Any help is appreciated! :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
Do you have them on your today? If so, turn them off.

If it's not the case... you would add them to the registry by hand.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
just a guess -> they aren't plugins as you know, but created internally by the shell-thread providing the today-screen.

I've thought about providing classes for such "plugins", but actually they doesn't seem to be used so many people.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Thanks utak3r and ikarus for your replies :)

@1 - Yes, they were disabled on Start-Today-Items.

@2 - In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items? They are there (see sceenshot). I've got a Dutch ROM so "Tasks" is called "Taken", "Messages" is called "Berichten" and "Calendar" is called "Agenda".

Hmm OK, if they'd add more bulk to the software that uses to the users, don't include them.

However, I would think that if Battery Status would support inserting plugins, the built-in system plugins would be supported at least.

If I can show the amount of Tasks like the Tasks plugin can some other way, my problem would be solved as well.

By the way, the new tPlug feature works with most of my Today Plugins (NewsBreak, Windows Live, etc) but not with Tasks or Calendar ("Taken" and "Agenda" in my Dutch ROM).

PS: I just noted that they are inclosed in "quotes". However, the "Berichten" plugin does show up when I try to insert it in Battery Status (see screenshot), so the problem can't be just with the quotes.

I tried to insert item=""Berichten"" which worked fine. item=""Taken"" didn't work though.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
Maybe try changing their registry names? To such without those quotes...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
(It's just a guess, but very likely)

The problem is that the registry-entries for Tasks/Calender are there, but they are not provided by a today-plugin-dll

They are created and drawn by the today-screen itself, that is they are not plugins as you know.

The today-screen-thread see Tasks/Calender and so on and knows... ah i have to handle them myself -> the today-screen-thread reads the values and draws what you see..

I know what i've explained is hard to understand if you're not a developer hehe.. take it as is..

There are several approaches.

1. BS provides a class, e.g. class="calender" or class="tasks" which creates the readings as the standard-"plugins" does

-> As i've already mentioned.. don't know whether this is reasonable

--> language dependency of readings

2. A developer creates a today-plugin (with dll) implementing the functionality of the standard-plugins.

-> Better because you can use it with other applications, e.g. wisbar as well

3. Build with registry-tracker of BS

-> Difficult.. missing bold-font depending on states

Solutions or suggestions on this are welcome at discussion-forum. www.chi-tai.info/discuss

yes, it's because of what i've explained.. they aren't regular-plugins with an DLL.

If someone knows how to enable that standard-plugins programmatically without reimplementing the functionality --> please tell me :D

just a tip. The nag-screen is disabled in the last and the next builds, because i'm playing with the cryptography-module for solving a bug on some devices ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
You know, in fact your explanation makes sense now! :D

I've tried the third option but it didn't give me the amount of active tasks like the Tasks plugin does. The second one is not within my reach. So I'll try the first suggestion when I have time!

Thanks for your time! :cool:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :

I´m using tinybatch.exe with a .bat file to refresh my screen...cause i´m using vjtoggle.exe AND todayrefreshcmd.exe on one tap on a bssymbol...that works great.

but now if i want to select tinbytch.exe for another app...i cannot set teh command that it must use the refresh.bat

how can i make a commandline that tells tinybatch.exe which .bat it shall take?

and how can i do it with an applauncher that doesn´t have copmmandline support? like gestures on UL!!

is there a way that tinybatch.exe AUTOMATICLY takes the .bat that is included in same folder? or if the .bat has a specific name? or must it be a commandline to tell tinybatch.exe which bat to take?

thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I don't have the source code here, but as far as i know you can either use

an absolute path, e.g. tinybatch.exe \Windows\Scriptfiles\myscript.bat

or use a relative path, e.g. tinybatch.exe myscript.bat

(in latter case myscript.bat must be in the same directory as tinybatch.exe)

Tell me if the latter doesn't work. I'll add it, but i think it's already implemented.

i don't know.. you'd better ask the author of UL or maybe a user here can help out..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] papamopps:
I made a .lnk with tinybatch.exe refresh.bat and that is working.

tplug problems

Does anyone have a working example of the tplug item?

I have tried this with various plugins and the only one that I've gotten to work is the Messaging plugin as in the sample in the manual. I have tried adding other plugins in the same view, but they don't show. I've also tried replacing the Messaging with other plugins, but still no success. Anyone?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] :
Sure :)

See some example code below, and the image that this code produces is also attached.

Note that the <Item class="space" etc. item is not needed, I just added it so that I have something to tap on in order to refresh the plugin. If you have more Views (so that you can refresh the plugin through another View), you can only use the two Items with the tplug class.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Window xmlns="[URL]http://www.chi-tai.info/BatteryStatus[/URL]" >
<Row name="tplug" >
<View height="60" >

Is there a way to toggle weather panel or any other today plugin with bs by pressing or holding some element
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] brunoisa10:
yes indeed

you keep a place for a view in a Row (nothing to do there LOL) and you use the key word View (ex : <Class item="clock_digit" absolute="3" ontap='View' index="1" subindex="2")

and you define on Options , Tab Advanced of the plugin a plugin to be displayed on Row 1 View 2

pay attention on how you exit from this Advanced Tab , make Save and Back and OK , if freeze , soft reset and probably it will be good , I have not tested on the last build but with some builds it cause freeze (not every time)

BS is really an excellent program , you can do all what you want in it

I have my weather, Contacts , Alarm, Player Plugin, Tasks , infos on PPC , all in one xml with today's plugins managed by BS , it is a perfect plugin so I can soft reset one time or two (LOL , only when managing the plugins )

Now I have to test the last build , Chi-Tai Make a very good job

Help launching app

thanks a lot :D

what about the default-clock-theme by Nostramo?

http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt_Clock.1.05.CAB

use the following snippet (compare with yours) and adapt index/subindex (see manual for ontap="View")

<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="View" index="0" subindex="0" path="\Windows\BatteryStatus\Slick\shortcuts\callvm.lnk" onhold="OpenOptions">

<image src="messages\Voice%d.png" left="17" top="12" />

...

the responsible Item looks like this in your xml:

<Item class="start_app" title="miomap" path="\Windows\MioMap\EEU_2A\miomap.exe" >
<image src="Gps%d.png" left="11" />
</Item>

the image has a %d without using registry_tracker-class??

I guess you did a copy/paste-mistake ;)

it should look like this:

<Item class="start_app" title="miomap" path="\Windows\MioMap\EEU_2A\miomap.exe" >
<image src="Gps.png" left="11" />
</Item>

you should use the recommended editor Komodo-Edit. It behaves clean and is freely available.

At first, locate the executable and then modify only the path-attribute, e.g. path="\Windows\lalala\dumdidum\y.exe"

Thanks Ikarus,you are the man. I did as you said it shows plugin on first tap,but is there a way to define second action for tap on the same button and make it hide plugin again. In that case I could put weather panel in standalone row
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
oh okay hehe.. it's something regarding the class="start_app"

As you can see in your xml:

<Item class="start_app" [B]title="miomap"[/B] path="\Windows\MioMap\EEU_2A\miomap.exe" >
<image src="Gps.png" left="11" height="39" width="47" />
</Item>

you have added a title-attribute and the class renders the title onto the label (which is some less pixel even if you haven't specified it.. you derive it from the class -> the manual and examples shows how to use title-attribute with class="start_app" the right way).

You could try removing the title.. that should solve the problem.

Another way is to use class="space", which doesn't care about title-attribute..

you could use onhold/index1/subindex1 (see manual)

but an alternating action isn't possible without scripting.. if you have programming experience with tcl you could try tcl.. or mortscript could do it as well..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bilbobrian:
:DThanks so much Ikarus, deleting the title took care of it I didn't even realize it was part of the first letter of the title. You are a huge help.

Box theme

Here is my latest very simple theme. unzip and copy to \storage card\batterystatus\ folder (the latest build is recommended). If anyone is interested - and has any questions - I'll be glad to try and help.

One feature is that I have the applications all in 4 rows and they slide in harmony! Of course, you need to modify the xml to add your applications if you don't have some of the ones I use.

to update the weather, news, ebay, stocks or appointments, on the appropriate tab, you'll see in the upper right hand of each box - tap on it to update.

Not all screens posted here - but enough to give you the idea.

the TOPBAR shows radio signal (the white bars to the left of NET), whether the network is connected or not (NET) and the battery strength (the white bars to the right of NET). Also, after landscape mode, tap on left white bars to get rid of old topbar - can hold left white bars to reload theme.

The second row shows all the vitals - I removed the icons to save space. From left to right on second row: cpu percentage, temp, free RAM, free program space, megawatts used and CPU speed.

The third row is where the action is: home, weather, news, stocks, appts, sliding apps, homemade dial tab, quicklinks.

4th row is my "notifications" line. the toggle icon is fun - hold it down to close rows 2, 3 and 5 (to save battery when sleeping); tap it to reveal them again.

5th row is the sliding themes/tabs row.

FYI: Mortscript is needed to make the ebay, stocks and news downloads/updates work.

You can also set everything (weather, apptx, news, ebay) to automatically update every hour using my scheduler.mscr found on the mortscript thread.

I've included the TTF file for SANS Tempus ITC font - to get the clock font in the picture. My default font for my phone is now Segoe UI - let me know if you want to know how to make it default on your device.

Hi ikarus

I've tested the build 319 , very good

no freeze (just freeze with TouchCommander , so I have to choose , BS or Touch Commander to be my Today , LOL the winner now is : BS :D)

I'm wondering about AppLaunch : can you make like I've askled you ? (to be able to insert it on a Row and View , because now I use the code generated into a Tab and it would be perfect if I can just update the programs ,using AppLaunch ,and don't have the need to copy the code into my Row-View)

the second today is a good idea to be able to have another launcher or to have more fonctions , I like a little today screen with many functions in it (now I have the main icons with two functions (on tap = View and on Hold = Start App ) and it is near perfect for my use

Just a little job to do , I think I have little change to do , because of the surface of selection is sometimes to vaste and so my hold or tap is not the one exepected , I'm looking in the manual to be sure (I think about the parm "width" )

i've made a Mortscript to be able to have my current weather from spb Weather (it is very good but just a little problem with notification : tonight the script was launched at 00 , 03 but not at 6 ) I'll post in mortscript thread as soon as I think it is near perfect
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ajm144k:
well i dont need anything extra like the clock or any other status meters, just basically mised calls, voice mails, sms, notification on my today page. if anyone could copy the xml from a theme for me id appreciate it. ive tried to copy and paste the xml from other themes into my xml that is just a sliding app launcher, but then nothing at all showed up on my today screen- not even the defaulted BS theme.
