those are gullum's three themes that he has posted here. i'm still unsure if they work with the 0.6 release but i'm still reading the thread (it's long), and posted the links here in case others want them.

is the today plugin supposed to slide left and right? because i'm having trouble with that on my hermes, check my signature for the rom.

[edit]

ok, get ready for this. are you ready?

i created a folder named "HTC Theme" in the folder "setups", put all the icons from gullum's cab into a folder called "icons", which went into the "HTC Theme" folder. after that, i took the Config.xml from gullum's cab into the "HTC Theme" folder. THEN, i created a folder called "HTC" inside the "skins" folder. inside that "HTC" folder, i put the skin.xml from gullum's cab.

whew. ok i think the problem is gullum's config.xml doesn't know to call the skin from that "HTC" folder. however, when i try to run ThrottleLauncher, it gives me an OutOfMemoryException error.

on the other hand, the default theme works perfectly. thanks! lol. can't wait til gullum updates his themes for 0.6 (reminds me of PocketCM, where the skins need to be updated for improvements in PocketCm.exe.....)

one suggestion is that can we make it so that i tap and hold, and as i'm holding down, if i drag my finger around i can see what the icons do? it's kinda like pcmkeyboard, where you slide your finger around to see what letter you're on, except in this case, it's the program title. that would really help if i don't know what an icon is. maybe you can have it so if i hold my finger down for a certain amount of time, then i can slide around and see the different programs. that way, it doesn't interfere with the intertia scroll.

Mmmm.... That's strange.. can you post your device and OS detail's please? Do you have NET.CF installed?

May be the downloaded file is corrupt.. try also downloading again please.

You're right, theres not any example on this version. You have to add the following code in the configuration section of the config.xml (and change the value as needed)

<param name="osdtimeout" value="500" />

The only thing that must be done is moving the config.xml to the new folder created inside the setups folder, don't move icons or skins (unless you edited the config.xml accordingly, all routes inside that file are absolute (starting with \) or relative to the ThrottleLauncher folder.

Thanks for you sugestion!! will try that ;)!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for your comment's. I'm glad you enjoied the new release!

Hello everybody!!

I'm new here, and this is my first post. My brother downloaded this app to my mobile phone yesterday and it looks great for me. :eek:

5 * for you, APBilbo. Really, really good work. ;)

I'll be waiting for new releases, although I don't know if I will know how to install it :D, since I'm really newbie with WM apps. :rolleyes:

Today Plugin

Hello everybody.

Thats a great application, but i cannot see the Launchers today plugin in the HOME dialoque, means i cannot select it. I startet Throttletoday.exe, but still no checkbox. also soft reset did not owr.

I installed it on SD card, maybe this is the prob?

Would it help just to put the dll to windows and not the entire Application?

Thanks a lot

R
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Be sure your brother will install the next version for you on your WM5 Artemis cuase probably he want's to test it on a device other than his WM6 Herald. He is my brother!! hehehe... :)

Mmmm... thats strange.... Can you check with a regedit app (like PHM Registry Editor) the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/ThrottleToday and post a screen shot of what's inside please?

Any way try reinstalling the whole thing please...

Freezing and icons dissepearing

Hello

Ive made some change in xml file in the default themes

I just tryed to put other icons. THey all work, but after a while the device slow down, and8or the icons diddpapear from the today plugin, a bit unstable it seems.

I also remove the header from the xml file and try to put more icons on the footer. They work, I can slide but freeze very fast.

I have a htc touch, an rltoday plugin running with s2r stuff and wisbar advabnce3.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for the feedback!! I'll take a look trying to find out what's the prob..... Anyone having this also? On mine i've it running since the release and everything seems OK...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshrys:
Well iuse the HTC home plugin so i really just want the scrolling programs on the today screen. i saw another post say to change the height to achieve this. I also did not see any other way to make changes to the app in the config page. IMO this app has potential, but takes up to much real estate as it is. Maybe I'm just not up to speed on how it can be customized and need to learn some more.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
To edit a setup, the only thing to be done is:

- Open ThrottleConfig App.

- Select the setup to be edited on the combo.

- Then press edit.

- On the edit form click on Tabs option on the bottom bar. Then click on pages.

- On the list you will see all the pages available on the setup. You can then go through the elements by selecting options. The order of edition is: Pages ----> Rows (or footer) ----> Elements (as icons for example).

- When you've finished editing, select Actions on the bottom bar and then save.

Hope it helps!!

There's a '\' missing on what you wrote.... it's that an error of copying from the reg to the message or is it wrong on the registry? If it's wrong please correct it and post if it worked. Thanks!

Edit: By the way, if that not worked, try reinstalling to your device instead to the Storage Card please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
I would like to say, this app DOES have real potential. I wish I had more time to customize it like the "big brains"....

It doesn't seem like the config tool in the app handles the "3rd party" skins very well. I'm sure its an implimentation issue on their part. I have tried to get the HTC Theme and the iPhone theme to work, but just can't figure it out. Maybe my expectations are out of whack. Normally, when we see a cab file, we expect to execute it, and it works. This doesn't seem to be the case with the "3rd party" skins.

I realize this is freeware. But it's a little frustrating. There's so much potential in this application. I'm sorry. I'm complaining a bit here. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of the HTC and iPhone skins...I just want them to work.

I'm sure, once you get your website rolling you'll have place for the skins makers to place their cabs (hopefully with instructions).

Thanks to all for your groundbreaking work. This app is truly that.

Matt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for your comments! As you said this is an alpha. I started the development a month and 5 days ago so... please be patient ;) (and it's the only app i've developed in c# also, I'm java developer).

The previous version themes don't work due to "back incompatible" change of the app from 0.5 to 0.6 version. I wan't to apologize for that. With that modification you can change from one theme to another with out overriding the previous one. I think the new feature is worth the changes.

If I have some time this afternoon I will try to post those setups on cabs that will work on the 0.6 version...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
thank you, very very much, for the quick response.

I've been looking at the config.xml File found in: Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\

It appears as though the HTC install took...I feel like there's something real simple missing.

here is an example from the xml.

- <clock name="clock" path="HTC\clock.png" exec="\windows\time.lnk" rowspan="3">

<hours color="255,255,255" />

<minutes color="255,255,255" />

<seconds color="255,0,54" />

</clock>

I've looked at the xml and the screenshot provided by gullum...Logically, it should work. All the "Path" references are pointing to files that exist....

there's file in: \ThrottleLauncher\HTC\clock.png

so it seems like it should work...but when I run the app...I get the default app....

any guesses?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Look at this:

You can select it also to be the today plugin theme, but it will be very high to fit unless it's the only plugin and you set the adecuate height....

Tell me if it work for you please, thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Gullum's HTC theme adapted for 0.6

Well..... here you have the 0.6 compatible HTC Gullum's theme. All credits go for him (sorry for modifying the theme, pal...).

Remember that you may have to open ThrottleConfig and setect the theme in the config, click on set Main Apps and then click on Actions/save. Then restart the throttlelauncher app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
it does not work on the Kaiser.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Have you installed it on device(edit: i mean instead of on SD) ? On mine works perfectly...:S
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
When you say "Select the Theme in the config".....do you mean, go into each page and select the theme?

NEVER MIND! I see it...I'm rebooting......now.....will it work?....

..

..drum roll please...

..

..and the answer is...

..

.. ERROR MESSAGE!

then it reverts back to the default theam

AHAH!!!!! got it to work! actually, your instructions were exactly correct. I didn't understand "restart throttle launcher"

After I made the change in the Config App and exited, I went back to the main home screen, which was still the default...this threw me. I restarted the device....and it came back into default.

The correct procedure is...

1. After making the change in the main screen of config....save and exit.

2. look in your running programs, you will see ThrottleLauncher....close it.

3. You should still be seeing the default theme on today.

4. click on the Programs button ... THIS LOADS THE NEW THEME!

right?

AHHHH...it's BEAUTIFUL! I love this!

Why won't my contacts show up? Any tips on how to trouble shoot that one. When I first loaded TL it showed the contacts with "properly sized pictures". once I loaded gullum's skins, it never worked again.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
go to start program then throttleconif chose the theme and remember to save under actions
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hehehe. I mean opening ThrottleConfig app (you must have a links placed on your programs folder) and:

- on ThrottleConfig app you have a combo box with all the installed themes. On it, select HTC (Gullum).

- With the theme selected on the combo click on Set Main App and then on Actions/Save.

- Then restart the ThrottleLauncher.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
You forgoted the Set Main App button my friend :).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
i have installed it on the device memory not the sd memory card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Can you post a screenshot of the error you get and other of the folders inside /Program Files/ThrottleLauncher please?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Here is the detail on how to Install gullums HTC theme

NOTE :- Make sure the Throttel Launcher is ionstalled in the Device memory (recommended)

1. Install gullums HTC theme and softreset

2.goto ThrottelCinfigurator and select HTC gullum from the List on the Top right of the screen...after that click Set Main App and save..after that softreset again and when u start the app after this..u will notice the new theme

it looks like this after configuring it (see pics added)

here you go.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
the contacts will only appear if a picture is added to them
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks!! You don't need to donate to get problem solved ;). What's exactly your prob? No contact appearing?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
Yes...no contacts are appearing.

When I first installed TL, the contacts with "properly sized images" appeared (those with large images did not).

After installing the plugins, I could never get contacts to appear again even the ones that where appearing before.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Have you installed defaultthemes.cab also? You can find it here:

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/html/download.html

Please ensure you have both installed on your device.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
A seperate problem I am having ...

the today screen doesn't alway show "Maximized"

My HomePlug is getting in the way, I will fix that...but...I was under the impression the TL Today Plugin was always maximized....

Maybe not
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
params

I have two exe files I need to add to the config.xml. The shortcuts on the device are:

windows\sktstart.exe #HA

windows\reset.exe /s

The first launches SKTools FreeUp RAM and the second launches Soft Reset.

What do I include in the exec parenthesis and what do I include in the params parenthesis? I am assuming that #HA and /s are parameters and should be included after params:

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
For the contacts problem... please ensure they are asigned at least to one category... The today plugin is new for 0.6 so gullums theme is obviously not prepared to that size. If you want the full screen app use ThrottleLauncher link on your start/programs folder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
The contacts ARE assigned to a category. do I have to go into the TL config app to set it up somehow?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
You're right, that's how it's supposed to work.... Any problem when doing so?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
How much free ram do you have? May be is a problem when trying to load the images... have you tryed a soft reset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
Miracle of miracles....I now have contacts....Thanks for the help ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
OK...we're almost home....I thought of a fix for my today screen issue....I made some chagnes to the config.xml file in the HTC directory.

the problem might be that the clock image is too big...I took the png file and reduced it....saving it as clock_med.png...put that in the HTC skins directory...

Then I changed the config.xml file to point to that file, thinking it would just move everything up...

I get an error message on startup...you guessed it...something about brush strokes or something like that.

now...the clock doesn't show at all now....neither does contacts.

Here's the whole clock segment:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Re-Mi:
Yep i had the same one, i installed both packages first on the sd then on the device. I even tried to install the program before the other one (sorry i don't know the names atm)

But nothing worked
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Instead of changing the image, you can just use the height and width attributes to size it as you like. Example:

<clock name="clock" path="HTC\clock.png" exec="\windows\time.lnk" rowspan="3" width="64" height="64">

You can even use the ThrottleConfig app to do so ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
ALRIGHT!!!! that did the trick..changing the image size....

I'll play some more and report back....my contacts aren't showing up now...But I'll see if I can fiddle a bit.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
Thanks

That worked fine. I included the parameters inside quotes after params and both programs executed perfectly.

Some feedback

Hello evrybody

I changed the xml Files : i removed the footer and header part out and kept just 1 "row", this one with the newscontacts and so.. then place some of my icons ... I can slide with arround 7 or 8 icons but its slow, Myy touh is so slow with the rL Plugin

When i try this mini skin in the app, it run very nicely, its great to feel i think

I have also noticed that sometimes i get some problems with saving the themes with the config manager :

- when i have copiedthe Iphone theme under "Setups" folder, it seems i have to rename the themes it found iphone) in iphonet twice before it works

- And also changing themes, i have to save a few times before it woks.

Some suggestion :

I noticed playing with settings for initial speed factore and deceleration that going over 2 brings nearly nothing, orelse its my touch maybe. If its not, i would suggest you modify a bit the value to set up the speed of scrolling.

Well, thx a lot for thiese app

Bye

still can't get contacts to show

i've tried the filter to limit the possible contacts.....but i'm still not seeing any contacts....

anybody have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
hey apbilbo,

this a great app particularly now with today plugin.

i think its nearly complete package except for

1) ability to add other plugins in throttle (personally i cant live without spb diary, if i can add that to throttle then i will regret purchasing pocket plus..:))

2) meters like battery, signal, memory etc..

if both are there then, i can use throttle in full screen always... no need for today screen... that would be great

currenly i am using throttle as a tab in pocket plus only showing running progs etc.. nothing else..

personally i have another problem.. i dont want "kinetic" in the scrolling.. the contacts should scroll according to my finger movement.. hope you got my point.. i tried changing both speeddecreaserate and speedinitmultiply value but couldnt get the desired result.. can u help me out here..?

thanks and sorry for long post :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ridingshark:
Hello, sorry that was an error while copying. Backslash was not missing.

So i reinstalled it and then more REG items appeared:

"DLL"="\Storage Card\Programme\ThrottleLauncher\ThrottleToday.dll"

"Type"=dword:00000004

"Options"=dword:00000000

"Enabled"=dword:00000000

"Selectability"=dword:00000000

"TabIcon"=dword:00000000

"TabOrder"=dword:00000004

"STEmbedded"=""

I also changed the "Selectability" to 2 and 1, not working.

Then i learned that maybe the TODAY items are too much. So i moved some items to an "_disabled" Folder, but no success.

I changed "enabled" to 1, no success

The funny think is, that i use SPB Mobile Shell and there i can use the Throttle Home Plugin as an TAB item and there it shows up.

Well maybe i can work this out, i will info you, but help is appreciated

Regards r
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
What's really a strange one.... ¿Anyone having this problem also?

I see on your reg setting that you have it installed again to the SD card, have you tryed installing to your device? It's the only thing that happens to me...

I'm doing some researchment already to achievce both of your request ;), still don't know how to include a today plugin inside throttle...

About the kinetic scrolling I'll write down to add an option to disable it, it's not dificult ;).

Buf, may be 1200 contacts are just too much :(... I'll try to send you a "fix" ASAP to see if that solves the problem as it's not the first time it happens...

As you said, the speed issue could be due to a too "crowded" today screen... Currently both the today and the app use the same library so, theorically the speed should be the same... Can you try to use only the today plugin? (without rltoday) , just to see how it goes.

Thanks

@everyone

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry if I forgoted answering someone... I just don't have to many time to follow the thread...

It seems that TODAY cannot handle DLL on SD Cards.

I now out the plugin on the device and will try to put the themes on SD to save space.
