Ather90, thanks for bringing this up. I did not even think of using Throttle in landscape mode. I looked at the skin XML, but it only refers to backgrounds, fonts, and lines.

So far, if one starts in lanscape mode, I noticed the footer row is there, but not visible on the home page. However, if you press the bottom of the screen, then the footer row will make itself visible and it works normally.

Now on the Contacts page, as well as Programs and Settings, the footer row is visible, unless the other rows are scrolling/in action.

This might become a preference issue. For example, some users might want to reduce the clock row size, or use a different clock (digital w/ LiquidCrystal font), or design their Home pages completely different to allow their footer rows to show in landscape mode.

That said, if you try to flip flop from portrait to landscape or viceversa, then most definitely you have no access to the footer row.

Testing Video

UPDATE: You can reach your footer row using your D-Pad

Yeesss!! Time to play!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
:eek:

I am realy loving it now :) this is getting so amazing that I can't beleave it..

thatks for the tip to use dciNoBars I almost have no need for the start menu now.

I will try it for a day at work and see how thing go before giving a real feedback... now it's time to play :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrisklinck:
is there a way to only utilize the horizontal scrolling apps portion as a today plugin? i would like to have them all available on the my today screen without using up all the real estate. i'm using the htc home plugin in conjuntion with two rows of rltoday, but would love to simply use this in place of the 10 rltoday square icons. i would be able to continue using htc and simply be able to finger scroll through all my various apps and programs on the today screen. i just really like the scroll response on this program quite a bit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
I can't seem to get it working.

I get a DirectoryNotFoundException at function System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames() originated from ThrottleConfig.Program.Main() or something?

Tried soft resets and reinstalls, tried installing both device and storage card.

Same thing with TodayPlugin, Launcher or the Config program.

I'm using Trinity WM6 if that matters.

Thanks for the great work.

How do you refresh today's plug in after making changes into config?

Is it possible to get icon from exe file or link just like folder tag does for icon tags?

Site not working.....post the cab here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergio2007:
Make sure to install both ThrottleLauncher-0.6Alpha.CAB and DefaultThemes.cab in your Device (not SD card), because this version has a Today plug-in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for answering. You're right, both files have to be installed since ThrottleLauncher-06Alpha only has the app and DefaultThemes have (as it's name reads) the default ugly themes. I've done this cause I'm not very good on doing themes, and you have here some artists (i.e. gullum) that probably will make better themes. As the themes are in other cab you can uninstall it without any problem when you have other "nicer" themes installed. But take care of always having a theme when you start up the app, especially the today plugin

Thanks everyone!!

Sorry for the inconvenience, it seems to be up now....

Mmmm that error seems as you have not installed bot cab in the same directory, ¿have you? Anyway it's an error finding the skin file as you can see on the backtrace... You can try to change the skin used... Happy you finally got it working :-).

About the running app applet, I forgoted to add some control to that part of the code... may be on 0.6.1... I still trying to figure out what the error is... Sorry.

By now, the today plugin can be restarted through this methods:

- Removing it form today and adding it XD

- Killing the process called ThorttleTodayPlugin will force a refresh.

- Placing an icon with the ":close" action on it. (Haven't try it but it must have the desired efect....).

Still it's not posible to take icons from exe or lnk.... I'll write it down for 0.6.1 also ;-)

Thanks!!!!

Hope you have fun playing (and that your boss don't see you doing it! :p)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for the feedback... I'll try to solve it asap ;)

P.D.: sorry doublepost the previous one was already to meshed :-S
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
that should not be any problem I am my boss :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergio2007:
Most definitely. Modify the "Default Today" setup with the ThrottleConfig tool in your Programs, or the xml file w/ Notepad. It's up to you.

Your Programs w/ default icons, or Custom icons linked to your favorite apps, websites, even your contacts, you name it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
holy crap that's smooth scrolling...

this plugin is pure awesome... like next to FTouchFlo, possible the best app ever written for pda!!!

Thanks!!!

Still playing around it atm... can you put any today plugin into the throttle launcher?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it ;).

Kinetic scrolling is implemented... some people are having problems with it... but don't know why :(. Try using the stylus instead of the finger over a row and move it quickly over the screen please...

At the moment you can't place any today plugin inside the main throttle plugin. I'm doing some research on how to achieve this but found nothing.... Any help will be apreciated...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
WOW WOW..i just came from the College and saw 3 pages of post already..i cant beleive that 0.6 is released plus thank sergio for the LAndscape Update..i dnt agree with chunga168..its even better than Ftouchflo and Cube :p

i am downloading the CAB as we speak....good luck and cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marcelvanblankers:
I agree, now that it is a todayplugin, it IS the best program so far, fully customizable and configurable. YOU ARE THE BEST.

What is greater then the ability to scroll a todayplugin you designed yourself.

lets open a thread like "show your throttlelauncher today plugin"

who for it????

Greetings and many many thanks

Marcel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Hold on to ur horses its just released and will take a little time to config it..once its done it will be posted in a new thread
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
sorry to say but im also getting this error
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
¿Can you please post the details? ;)

EDIT: By the way....have you installed the DefaultThemes.cab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
ive attached the screeny of the error im getting..im running tofhima wm6..

btw does this s/w reuires .netcf ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
woops forgot that..will try and reply back
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
I saw the screenshot, I mean the one after pressing the details buton....

It does require .netcf. But till today you've it working... so I supponse it could not be that...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
ok i will post the details as soon as my father hands over the dektop-pc to me :p..i recently re-flashed my ROM so maybe .netcf is not installed

i will post the picture ASAP as i ve got to get going or i will be late for my tutions :D)

edit : attached the details..i also get the same error when i start the today plugin also
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] v3patel:
For those who have .5 installed and re-installed .6alpha

if you have .5 version installed already then you install default theme and then you install .6alpha >> you will get directory not found. when stating new app. What happned is when trying to re-install it ask you to uninstall privious version as a result skin directory gets deleted so you may get error in statring app after re-installing .6 version

if you get that error re-install defaultthems again. that should fix error.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
This app has great potential, but at the moment it's highly unstable on my WM5 Wizard. I'm getting the same error after playing around with the program for a while. It happens in both the launcher itself, and the config utility. But it's an alpha version after all ;)

I have a suggestion considering scrolling. Right now it's way too easy to accidentally launch a program while attempting to scroll. How about making it work somewheat like this:

When the scrollable area is pressed, and the finger starts moving in time shorter than a given threshold (say, 200ms, but adjustable), the list starts scrolling and launching applications is disabled until the list has stopped eighter due to deceleration, or another finger press - but a finger press while the list is moving still doesn't launch any application.

When the list is pressed and the finger is stationary (didn't move more that a given, adjustable number of pixels) for a different time period (like 500ms, also adjustable), the scrolling is disabled. Now, if the finger is raised before a third adjustable time period (like 1000ms), the button below it is considered pressed. But if you don't raise the finger before that time threshold, the program goes to info mode and displays name of the icon currently under the finger. When you slide the finger over another icon, the list won't be scrolled, and the name of this second icon is displayed. releasing the finger now won't launch the application (so that you can easily search for the app you need without accidentally launching anything).

And another suggestion - how about caching the menu items and their icons in the launcher's folder (at least as an option)? Now, it takes ages to launch a page containing entries from start menu if there are many programs in it. If caching was implemented, launching would be much faster, and the program could eighter compare cached menu with the real one in the background and update if needed, not interfering with launcher use, or easier way - rebuilding the cache could be done manually in launcher settings. After all, the start menu doesn't change all that often.

Anyway, great work so far :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
ather, v3patel is right. Can you try to deinstall everything related to throttlelauncher and reinstall both cabs? Also, if you're installing it on SD, yo will have to manually move the files generated in "Program Files/ThrottleLauncher" to your SD destination directory as the DefaultTheme installation path is fixed to there (my fault :( ).

When done please ensure that under your installation directory you have this structure:

- setups

- Default (with it's corresponding config.xml inside)

- Default Today (with it's corresponding config.xml inside)

- Default with today (with it's corresponding config.xml inside)​

- skins

- black

- blackback

- gray

....​

If you don't have that, please send a shot of wich files are contained in the installation directory...

Thanks and sorry for the incovenience :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
¿Can you please post error details?

What is implemented already is a threshold of 25 pixels before starting scrolling but will try what you're propossing.

About the caching, do you think it's necesary? Remember than better than closing the app you can minimize it by moving your finger from top to botom of the screen... That way the page is only loaded on the first attempt. Other implemented option is changing the loadonstartup flag of the page in the config.xml (accesible also through ThrottleConfig app). That way when you start the Main throttle app, the program page will load on background...

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I really apreciate your comments.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chriscsh:
Wow, the new version work great;), i like the today plugin

i have a question

is it possible to disable the top bar

(when i press the button, this bar show the button or page name):)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
You can't disable it, but you can reduce the time it's being showed to what ever vlue you want in the skin, so... Any way It could be usefull to diable it so maybe on next release ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigfooo:

That's odd. It looks fine in my PPC.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PIXMA94:
very good job, its working. thx.

how i take gullum htc theme, its possible ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
No, I'm sorry it's not compatible.... I've already told him by PM and send him how the themes are now orginized...

By the way, heres a little guide:

- Themes now have to be inside the setups folder, and have a folder with the setup name. Inside that folder must be placed the config.xml file.

For example, if you install gullums htc theme, and create a folder inside the setups folder (called for example "HTC Gullum") , and copy the config.xml inside.... theorycally it must appear in the list of themes of the config App so you can set it up as the setup for the main app...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lepsyfou:
I too have this problem,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
0.6 alpha on Tilt - intial thoughts

Installation: Installed defaulttheme.cab and then throttlelauncher-0.6alpha.cab on my storage card on my Tilt. Program did not work properly. Uninstalled and reinstalled both files on the device (defaulttheme first, then throttlelauncher). Works fine.

Graphics are great. Program looks terrific. Love the way that it works. Interface is good as I have seen - I like the way that you scroll and the line loops back to the begining. This has some of the "wow" factor of the cube but in a useful form (I am not a big fan of the cube).

I was not able to get every button to work, but I am sure that there are some tweaks and settings that I have not gotten to yet.

Look for a donation coming your way to help develop this.

Great job.:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
For all people having DirectoryNotFoundException error, please make sure you have followed this steps:

- Installed both cabs (DefaultSetup.cab and ThrottleLauncher-0.6alpha.cab) on your device (do not use your SD card or any other media, I will explain later how to do it)

- Ensure that after installing it has created a /Program Files/ThrottleLauncher directory on your device (replace Program Files with the corresponding traduction for your language).

- Inside that folder ensure that you have a setups folder containing 3 diferent folders (all the defaults).

- Ensure also that inside that folder (/Program Files/ThrottleLauncher or equivalent to your languaje) you have the 3 runnables.

If something of this fails, please send me a screenshot of your ThrottleLauncher folder after installation.

To install on an SD card you may have to install the ThrottleLauncher.cab and to SD and before install the DefaultSetups. When done go to /Program Files/ThrottleLauncher (as DefaultSetups must be in here... instead on SD) on your device and copy all it contents to your SD card on the ThrottleLauncher installation dir (probably /Storage Card/Program Files/tTrottleLauncher or equivalent for your language)...

Don't think I'm angry at all ;)... Just trying to be informative.

Thanks everyone for trying!! Hope at the end every body has his throttle working :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thank you very very much!! I really apreciate your help and comments. By the way, don't know if you have seen it but in the config app you can change the images and targets of the icons... Anyway wait for someone (like gullum, sorry for giving you the pressure pal ;) ) to release a cool setup as mine is not too good...

Thanx again!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigfooo:
Oooops, it works, ca marche

Hello APBilbo, hello evrybody

It works, CA MARCHEEE

Youpi, thx a lot, i work with themes now

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hehehe, Wiii!! ;). Hope lepsyfou and PIXMA94 have the same luck...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PIXMA94:
its work too for me apbilbo with your theme, but with gullum theme its impossible ^^ wait and see ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Nice to ear it :).... To make gullum theme work... have you tried to:

- install it

- then create a new folder inside setups called "gullum" for example

- then move config.xml placed inside the throttlelauncher folder inside gullum (the folder i mean :p).

- After that start ThrottleConfig an select "gullum" in the combo (again talking about the folder) and click on "Set Main's App" and then Actions/Save.

- Then restart ThrottleLauncher.

It must work... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
ok now I've been using it for a whole day and it works realy good although I had 1 frezzz of the today screen on my prophet but after deselecting and reselecting it from today items it worked fine again. on my kaiers I've never had any problems what so ever.... except from not reafing before instaling :D didn't install default theme.... sorry I was to excided to try it that I didn't read.

I will work on my setup and config it to work 100% with version 0.6 later prob this weekend.

and thanks again APBilbo for makeing the best app I've ever seen on my devices....

P.S. don't go telling people to put things inside of me :D :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] garsim:

thanks gullum you are is very fine
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshrys:
having problems as follows:

i did something wrong. i momved the slider from default of 232 to 32 and now i only see the top of the clock, time, and calls.

i tried to edit the today plugin, hit preview, it opened a different view, but now i cannot close this view. anytime i press anything it just goes back to this preview. Even after a reboot I am stuck in this state. I cannot get back to the editing screen. The program is acting wierd now. if i press somewhere on the bar it then switches to the bottom 4 icons, pressing contacts opens the contact function, but the other buttons do nothing.

I am going to get my digicam and try to get a video of what i am seeing.

pressing the contacts only shows people with pictures... what about everyone else?

ok here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqQgYjDgZdk it acts really wierd...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
gullum,

WANT this to work soooooooobad....

I installed your cab,

WEnt into the config screens inside the app

Selected your Theme,

but for some reason I don't see any difference.

What am I missing?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergio2007:
Open your ThrottleConfig from your Programs folder. Set your plug-in height back to 232 (make sure to uncheck your ThrottleToday plug-in, make the change, and then check your ThrottleToday plug-in back on for the change to take place).

Now you can re-start your editing. What do you have in mind for your plug-in to look like? I'd be glad to help.
