Hmmm... I've got to try your set-up. Tinker, tinker...

Modify your config.xml file within "\setups\Default Today" folder. Change the time set-up from "HH:mm:ss" to "hh:mm tt".

Example:

<text name="text" exec="" width="100" rowspan="3" path="" text="#$date,[B]hh:mm tt[/B]#~#$date,dd/MM/yy#~#$date,ddd#" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="12,true" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" spacing="-10" />

Have you read my response to your question ? You have to change the date format in your config.xml, look how 4 posts earlier :)

Affter ensuring what sergio2007 have said (thanks for the answer pal ;) ) try replacing inside the config xml of the setup you're ussing (probably Default with today setup) the path on the <folder ... path="XXX" ...> with "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs" (Start Menu and Programs is for WWE, change it accordingly to your ROM language).

Thats strange... On mine works on all the rows... ¿It happens in the today plugin or in the main app?

Disregard all after "Hello". It seems that this is a memory/speed (i've got ht 195 khz snail MDA) item.

Thanks.

ANother item is that: When you use <text text= ...../> in Today Plugin, the Text itself will not be Cleartype allthough the System is set to be.

When you press onto in ICON, the descriptive Text (on TOP) is Clear Type.

I noticed that when i tried to put text below the ICON to be some kind of iPhone similar.

Apologies to APBilbo

My apologies on not seeing your response to changing the time format in the config.xml file. Honestly, you responded to 3 or 4 individual posts in your long post and I did not see it when I looked at it. My bad as they say. I normally don't do that.

BTW, I followed the link you supplied, found the format I liked, changed the config.xml and have exactly what I was looking for.

You have been most helpful again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
You don't have to apologize ;). You where probably "blinded" by the 0.7 screenshots on the same post :cool:. I just wanted to know if you read the post and it doesn't work or if you haven't read it... I was not angry at all ;)....

I'm happy it worked :D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks for reporting! I'll take a look at that.

Being somewhat new to XDA here I have really enjoyed all that your developers are doing. Also not being much of a developer myself how does one make a CAB file of my theme (based off of Gullum's HTC). I would like to be able to share and also have it handy to reload when I flash the next DCD rom. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tmknight:
Great to hear the new developments in background transparency!

Is there a way to control the size of the "title" bar (i.e. when I click on an object, a bar appears above the row with the name of the object). I can change the font size but the bar height does not follow suit (trying to make it smaller).

One other thing, I am having an "issue" per se regarding scrolling. There are times when I attempt to scroll and as soon as I touch the row, it "jumps" to an earlier view. I've tried playing around with the speed settings, but not sure I'm improving the behavior or just coincidence. Current setting is

<param name="speeddecreaserate" value="1.2" />
<param name="speedinitmultiply" value="4.0" />

Seemed to be worse when speedinitmultiply value was closer to speeddecreaserate value.

Cheers

APB,

I am very sensitive to total size of my configurations....currently, I'm running close to 4 megs. You have said that each icon needs to be stored twice for the "flow" to work.

Can you give us an idea as to how much memory the program takes, for each Footer tab we impliment.

How much memory the text items utilize. Like, for example the Missed Call Cnt.

That way, we can get a sense for how to optimize our configurations.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
Thanks, I found a page through a Google search and figured it out, as you can see in the config xml file above.

Also being old and slow (me not my phone), how does one get a screen capture on the phone and save it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sergio2007:
Change it to this:

I've been using MyMobiler v1.2 (Freeware) since Gullum recommended it. I'm able to capture my screen, or video of my screen, and save it to my computer. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Memory Hole

Hello APBilbo!

I read some threats ago, that there might be a memory hole somewhere. I tested this and found out (At least for the Today Plugin):

Every time i switch from the main page to another and back again to the main i am loosing 0.07 MB memory. I started with 15,23 MB memory and each page loaded in Memory (means allready clicked once) and this stopped at after approx 1 MB of loss, thereafter no more loss (no matter at what memory i started).

The funny thing is, that the Memory Use of the plugin itself is not increasing (checked this with Taskmngr), but sometimes 100kb less, so maybe this is an TODAY handling Problem.

Hope that helps.

Responses

Here you have the responses.... hope I don't forget anyone (if so please tell me)...

You can use WinCE Cab.... It's not for free but it's the only one I know.... Any one has a better choice?

http://www.ocpsoftware.com/

I'll try to give that info ASAP (currently I'm at work :( ). I don't really know how to calculate that but I think that what can be done is:

- Start a theme with only 1 text and 1 page: we can assume this is the minimun memory needed by the app. Lets call this APPMIN

- Start a theme with 1 page and several same sized icons (for example 100 icons of 32x32, can be repeated). Let's call this MULTIPLEICONS. We can then do: MEMORYPERICON = (MULTIPLEICONS - APPMIN) / 100

- Start a theme with 1 page and several same sized texts (for example 100 "twolined" texts). Let's call this MULTIPLETEXTS. We can then do: MEMORYPERTEXT = (MULTIPLETEXTS - APPMIN) / 100

- Start a theme with 10 pages and only one text. Let's call this MULTIPLEPAGES. Then: MEMORYPERPAGE = (MULTIPLEPAGES - APPMIN) / 10

- And so on with the contacts...

I'm not sure but i think that:

- A page takes nearly as much memory as it's content's, I mean, It's nearly the same to create 1 page with 100 icons than 2 pages with 50 icons each.

- The texts require nearly 0 memory.

- The contact photos are the ones that take the higer memory usage (I'm working to try to minimize that).

If anyone can try this I'll be gratefull....

You're right ;), I found it some days ago. It's my fault, an error when validating the screen size to create offscreen buffer when changing page... Corrected already for next release!!!

Thanks for your testing... You're really good at it since you find out the bug with out even seen the code... I'm impressed :eek:

It must work with every NETCF better than 2.0.... Also with WM5 and greatter... What's the exact prob you're getting?... Please, ensure you have DefaultThemes.cab installed, you can get it at www.throttlelauncher.com

Edit:Thanks for the videos!! I've enloied to see page changing buttons on a single row, I've never tried it...

Thanks also for the support you're giving... You're replying the thread even faster than me...

Thanks Sergio2007 and APBilbo for all your help.

Another feature request for down the road is a lock and unlock button. I am on a Verizon XV6800 with DCD's 2.2 clean rom and there is a Today plugin to do this but not a standard link or exe that I can see to flip states.

Anyways, just an idea for you.

Not exactly what you have in mind, but this is the set-up I use to show my "Next Appointment":

</row>

1st line: Date

2nd line: Clock

3rd line: Next Appointment

4th line: Location for next appointment

I haven't figure out how to display the "time" for "Next Appointment" (that's why I placed a Calendar icon next to it to confirm any details about my next appointment). If anyone knows how to, please share.

Here you have it, the post is mine but all credits for the setup go to gullum.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1848304&postcount=294

I'll try to do some researches on that.... can't promiss nothing but to try ;). By the way, for next release you can have today plugins inside the throttle app.... may be that helps you as you can close the app and release all the resources of the plugins when ever you want...

Thanks for the setup fragment ;)!! I'm sorry, to achieve the time thing probably some development is required... I'll try to have it for next release also as I think it's quite simple....

Hey Alfonso, just like to join the chorus of people congratulating you on an awesome app! cLaunch, rlToday, HTCHome, all out of the window in favour of this. I've slung a donation your way to say thanks, and there will probably be more coming!

I've got two questions about what is possible with the app . . . first, the text bar that appears when you click on an icon. Is it possible to disable this somehow?

Second, the only problem I have with using the app is my fat fingers, where sometimes when I want to scroll I click and end up lauching the app, which can be annoying. Some of the other "finger friendly" apps have implemented a feature where you must hold down on the button for a short time, say 200ms, in order to be sure you mean to activate it. Obviously not everyone would want this so it should be configurable (no delay, 100ms, 200ms . . . ) but if it was possible it would be awesome!

Right, enough suggestions, I'm off to fiddle around some more!

--Phil
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Thanks to phil

Thank you very much for donatting!! I'm really glad you find this app worth it ;). Thanks!

Also wantted to tell you that both features you requested are already implemented for next release!! :D. I said I'll have it release this weekend but I'm sorry to say that it's going to be impossible do to some personal issues... :(... May be next week!!!

Thank you very much!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JamesAllen:
Great App

I also sent a donation to you, love this application. No more Today Home Plugin!! I also have the problem of inadvertantly launching an application when I am trying to scroll so I am delighted to hear that you will address this in your next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:

Thank you very much!! I sent you a PM yesterday to thank you for donating..... You're have been also really helpfull in testing and improving the app. I'll try my best to have the new release ASAP!!

Hello APBilbo, i installed version 0.7 now and somw weird things are going on.

1) I had a skinning on my footer. Now Launcher writes an error, that he connot find skin.xml or its corrupt. I did not change anything and Registry is also OK.

<footer scrollenabled="false" name="footer" marginX="5" marginY="5" rows="1" backcolor="130,130,130" skin="skins\iphonefooter">

2) My Allcontactswithfotos are gone?

3) When i minimize another program, sometimes the "old program" is visible on those parts of Launchertodayplugin where no buttons are (or lets say, where no rows are situated) until the footer.

Maybe some features have been changed, could you provide a new How to (configurate Laucher)?

Thanks a lot

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Sorry it doesn't work :(... I've tried it with gullums 0.6 setup and it worked perfectly... I'll try to find out what happens with your setup... It will be really helpfull if you PM it to me ;).

1) That's strange, please send me skin.xml...

2) Now, as nonphoto contacts are supported, contacts are filtered by the category "TrottlePhotoDial". You can replace you allcontactswithphoto with this lines:

<allcontactswithphoto height="80" width="60" max="100" showcategories="True" name="Group unnamed">
<icon name="New Contact" exec=":addcontact" rowspan="1" height="80" width="80" path="setups\Default\icons\contact_add.png" />
<icon name="Remove Contact" exec=":removecontact" rowspan="1" height="80" width="80" path="setups\Default\icons\contact_del.png" />
</allcontactswithphoto>

You can change the icons to whatever you want ;-). Also add this line to the configuration element in your config.xml:

<param name="imagecontactnophoto" value="setups\Default\icons\contact.png" />

3) It's possible as I've optimized the painting... I'll try to solve it ASAP. With my Manila setup it seems to work perfectly...

Thanks for trying! By the way, has the memory use been reduced for today plugin for your setup? I've tried to optimize it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJGibbon:

Hello!

1) Memory Problem seems to be solved, excessive page changing keeps mem at same level, also MEM use is 2200KB iso 2600KB now, perfect!

2) Tried new Allcontacts, works fine, thats similar to HTC Cube now, yess

By the way, where are the added contacts stored, means do i have to add all again when softresetting?

3) The "repainting Problem" always comes when i reset (means kill) the Plugin with a Taskmanager. When loading new the "non used" space will be the Taskmanager background or even another page from the plugin if opened during reset.

4) My Skinning Problem (but it worked fine with 0.6):

It is located at: "\Programme\ThrottleLauncher\skins\iPhoneFooter"

and config.xml was as follows:

<footer scrollenabled="false" name="footer" marginX="5" marginY="5" rows="1" backcolor="130,130,130" skin="skins\iPhoneFooter">

(Also tried skins/iPhoneFooter, no difference)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<root>

<!-- Page general back color -->

<param name="pagebackcolor" value="0,0,0"/>

<!-- <param name="buttonback" value="nosel.png"/>-->

<!-- Buttons selected over image -->

<!-- Buttons back added margin -->

<!--<param name="buttonbackmargin" value="3"/>-->

<!-- Font style (format: "size,bold")-->

<param name="fontstyle" value="8,False"/>

<!-- Lines color -->

<param name="linecolor" value="0,0,0"/>

<!-- Text color -->

<param name="textcolor" value="225,225,225"/>

<!-- OSD Text color -->

<param name="osdtextcolor" value="200,200,200"/>

<!-- OSD BackColor -->

Hello APBilbo, i found out what the problem was.

It seem that you changed the sytax in skin.xml.

Its now: <param name="rowtexture" value="backgroundfooter.png"/>

and before it was <param name="texture" value="backgroundfooter.png"/>

So all previous skin.xml will only work with 0.7 when you change this.

It was a good tip to look into the "Manila Setup", i did not download this previously.

Thanxxxx alot for all your work
