to4: I guess now I know how it works. if I start to slide on a icon/pic it works if I start in free area it does not. Now I try your hint. It might be the solution.

to 2: no does not work. is it possible to position the background picture higher as the today plugin? higher means here like a layer over the plugin?

to 4: no I also have Speeddial but is only 60 high

<Item class="tPlug" title='"Speed Dial"' unload="0" animate="109" gesture="1">
<label top="30" left="-240" height="60"/>
</Item>

Thanks, now I just have to try mort script...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Homer-S:
OK. Mort Script is installed.

chgview.mscr file with code is made

where do I have to put the first code? into XML file? or own mscr file and call it from xml? how?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
what i meant was the following: if you go to settings -> today -> items

are there any other plugins checked besides hs++

re 2: does the testing code work in combination with the workaround i provided?

you may do a test by replacing the plugin for a moment by a few icons to see if the view generally is ok.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
put first script also into a file, e.g. start_chgview.mscr, and assign it to the button

Backlight - try Mortscript

http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view

It might shed some light on how you can get it done, or you can load mortscripts with you skin and just refer to it. There are a bunch of tools on the rlToday forum, since rlToday seems to have forged a tight bond with mortscripts

http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1194

I've heard that the profile software, like phonealarm, phoneweaver, etc. become unstable when they try to work with the backlight function. The light part works, but I've had trouble with PA, and I suspect that's why.

Hello

I've got a problem with registry_tracker class

I try out to track HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound key for ring mode:

<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="snd_%s.bmp" />
<registry key_value="HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound"/>
</Item>

It's possess the values '*none*', '*vibration*' or path to ring melody.

But I can't show images for those modes because asterixes in the strings prevent from using values in filenames.

Tricks with other formats (%x, %d etc.) made different results for various devices.

How to exclude "bad" symbols ( \ / : * ? " < > |" ) from string?

And small bugreport:

This code (registry_tracker without output) freeze my PDA

I'd suggest GIMP - it has most features of photoshop, but it's free, and if you don't want to install it, it can run directly from your pendrive (or from a folder on HDD without making any changes to th OS):

http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable

There's also a standard install, but this one is a bit better for a beginner (the installation just extracts it, no changes in registry are made, no add/remove programs entry, and if you're done and don't need it anymore - just delete its folder).

- fixed: delay loading of plugin for blue-elfin-rom to prevent freezes (thanks to linwen778)

- fixed: catch invalid xml-settings for registry-tracker (thanks to russian_byx)

- changed: registry_tracker, replace invalid characters in strings with '_' for image-names

changed with build 0274.

those characters will be converted to an underline '_'

thanks for reporting :)

OK, I hope one last question:

assign to a button? In the menu bar? or to the view?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
does not matter if you assign it to a button or in the startmenu or place an icon in your app-launcher as you will run it once anyway.

i would do the following:

1. create a LNK file and move it to \windows\startup so that you make sure the script automatically starts after softresets

2. within hs++ assign a button to the script or copy the LNK file to \windows\start menu\programs so that it appears under "Programs" and you can stop the script anytime you like
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Homer-S:
ok, I tried a lot of combinations.... but I didn't get it running. Doesnt matter it was just the last goodie....

Thanks for your help.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
???

it should work.

have you actually started the script? i mean just placing it in the startup folder would autorun the script after a soft reset.

open file explorer or any other file browser and run the start_chgview script from there.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Homer-S:
I know, I also started the script file but it changed nothing. even after 4 minutes...

But it doenst matter I dont need it so urgently
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
I think you can copy the 0.png to empty.png and it will work the way you want.

Edit: I should have finished reading the thread before replying - I see it got answered for you.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
i have finished the script anyway as i am also using it:

replace chgview.mscr with this content:

timeout = 2
while ( 1 > 0 )
Sleep(timeout*60000)
RegWriteString( "HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus", "Command", "100 2 0" )
endwhile

i have replaced registrysetstring by regwritestring as registrysetstring also only writes regvalues into the key above.

syntax for the parameters is as follow:

100: change view

2: change row #3 (i forgot hs starts with 0)

0: change to view #1

for me it is working now

Hello, where can i download this theme in vga? thx
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
@dave and mayen,

have a look at this post.

the problem is related to shell32.exe

some versions work fine with vjtoggletodayiialpha and some don't.

it is possible to replace shell32.exe but does not seem to be that easy.

lucky me, mine is working fine and i will stick to my rom version.

i have attached my shell32.exe just in case you want to try it. don't know if my version would work on your device at all. don't blame me if you have to hard reset :)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mayen:
Hey Egoist6,

Thanks for your research (Maybe you should pick a new nick:D).

Shell32.exe is part of the rom it's probably not possible to replace it without installing a new (homecooked) rom.

I managed to hide the softkeys with neuNoBar-103-v1.3 and I'm very happy with JvdS's super fast Rom (see my sig) so i won't even try :p replacing the file.

I'm afraid i'm stuck with the normal taskbar, but thanks anyway!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
Yet another iPhone skin and new taskbar

- designed for vga devices

- deploy attached black theme

- install vjtoggletodayiialpha (if it does not work properly, it is because of the new shell32.exe)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Homer-S:
IT WORKS FINE!!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] egoist6:
another idea which i am using right now instead:

write

RegWriteString( "HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus", "Command", "4" )
Sleep(50)
RegWriteString( "HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus", "Command", "100 2 0" )
Sleep(50)
Run(vjkeypress.exe", "223")

into an mscr file create a shortcut which points to this script, rename the LNK file to short_power.LNK and copy it to \Windows

everytime you press the power button, the script above will be executed instead of going into sleep mode.

the first command of the script closes all active apps, the second returns hs to your default screen, the third actually sends your device to sleep mode.

you can get vjkeypress here

don't know if columnar view works as hs++ is a "row based" UI.

to get rid of activesync icon in tray bar:

either deactivate complete tray bar (depends on your device) or:

serttings -> connections -> USB to PC -> Enable adv. Network functionality

come on. don't be too lazy. you can do that. ;)

a good start would be to devide all values regarding positioning (left, top) or size (height, width) within the xml-file by 2.

to adjust the size of the icons (= 50%), you can either use a graphic tool (like irfanview) or you specify the size of the icons by adding height="48" and width="48" to the image tags within the xml-file

make sure you copy the xml file to:

and the grafic files to:

normally the theme name is the same as the name of the xml file. but to be sure, edit the xml file and lookup the "imagesrc" attribute in the 2nd line.

Ikarus, 1 request and 1 question

First a BIG thank you for your great program and your dedication to improve it. What's more, BS++ has become one of my favorites pastimes because it's not like any other program that once installed your part is finished, this one allows you to become an actor and by skinning it you get a unique appearance on your device ! Here I can extend the thanks to all the contributors of this thread.

Now if I may:

Request - in the "Show rows" menu after ticking an item the menu closes and the screen is refreshed but when there are many rows it's annoying to repeat all the steps again. Can you make this menu to stay open until you finish ticking or unticking then "Apply" would refresh ?

Question - In the same menu what is the use of "Lock rows" ? I tried all combinations but some skins load with only one row.

Thanks in advance
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] prscott1:
Ikarus,

I've been so impressed and pleased with the 0347 build (haven't upgraded to 0348 yet)! I love it so much, I change my personal theme constantly to make it more robust for my needs. The gesture 1 / animate 109 works great and is my favorite!

I have one idea that I would like to offer for consideration:

Add a selmode for a short vibration. the reason for the request is that i am outside a lot and it is difficult to see if my selection was made or not when I press on an icon with my thumb. If a brief vibration occurred, then I would tell my icon was selected.

Any one else find a value in this?

Many regards and thanks for the consideration.

Hi everyone.

First big thanks to Ikarus, my dreams have come true : finally keeping the overall style of HTC Home (just love the clock's font and the weather images), while making it more compact, and showing the weather constantly.

Here's my theme I'm working on. Same clock style but smaller. I've resized the default weather images to 100 pixels wide. Taping the weather show the 4 days forecast.

Now I have to integrate the missed phone calls and SMS count. And perhaps move the tray's icons to the main zone.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] FlorentG:
Sure :cool:

The row's absolute is "3", which means I place every element with top and left coordinates.

Every digits is 34 pixels wide (12 for the separator), but I let them overlap a little bit (because of the glow effect). Note that my clock_alarm and clock_apm are empty because I don't use them.

For the weather I used dave.'s excellent HTCHome translation (many thanks BTW). Just resized a little bit.

<Row>
