It's very much visible, and you wouldn't have any issues seeing what's displayed outdoors in very bright sunlight with it at maximum brightness. However, there is extremely bad image retention at high brightnesses that occurs much more quickly than at lower brightnesses.

How do you add the battery icon to the top bar

I am wondering how you could programmatically put the battery icon on any place at the top-bar? And how the callback of pressing the battery icon is detected.

It is not done via a notification icon, I guess.

The reason I ask this, is because I want to add a lock icon to the top bar, but I do not want to a use notification icon, because this interferes with other notifications.

I would be happy if you could share some example code.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Ariel Battery is based on an open source project called kbattery1.0.3 which can be downloaded here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbattery/

All you should do is find the DC of the taskbar, and create a window as it's child. Then, it will be redrawn every time the relevant part in the taskbar is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the info about QuickMenu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Some devices have outdated drivers. If you update your driver, all battery meter programs will be able to detect 1% chages in battery life. Check this page:

It is like a magician trick, you do not know how it is done, it looks like a mystery :rolleyes: but the trick is bloody simple :)

I will go to try this approach.

Do you also know if this child window is capable of detecting hardware key presses?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
It is possible but ain't intuative.

"Ariel Battery" is a hack to overlay other icons. It doesn't push them aside :)

I really like Ariel Battery and I use it 100% of the time, but curious if there's any way to fix some bleeding of the colors I see on my Tilt.

I'm running ROMeOS 4.6, so WM 6.1. Running a fairly basic theme, nothing fancy, and not doing anything funny to my top and bottom bar colors (like the glossyblackbars.exe or such). But under the numeric battery percentage, there's some weird color. I'm running some Today screen items such as SPB Pocket Plus, some others, but I don't believe they affect it at all.

I'm attaching a scaled-up snapshot for reference.

Thanks for the program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Try the following:

1) Click on Ariel Battery's Icon.

2) In Tools->Setup change the "Fill" type to "Custom"

3) Choose the colors manually according to your theme.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmarden:
Very nice little app, thanks! Would there be any way to set/save separate positions for portrait and landscape view? I have it positioned overtop the original battery icon for portrait mode, but if I switch to landscape it covers up a different icon.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Artichouke:
Nice Application

Very usefull uitlity.

Can you add an option for battery icon hidding? - I think the icon is not necessary.

Only percentage level can be visible. (thus the numbers can be larger and better readble)

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I was able to get the capacitive hardware touches in a Child Window of the Top bar, as descibed in CapacitiveFingerlock

But the problem is, that only at start of the child window I get the sensor events back. I suspect, that when another window has been opened, the child window does not get focus anymore, so no sensor events (and keyboard events) will be given to the Child Window.

See CapacitiveFingerlock for some code, I used.

Do you have an idea how to get back the possibility to receive keyboard/sensor events?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
To detect a key press when your program window is not on top is very tricky, even on a regular Windows mashine, not mentioning Windows Mobile.

This is called "KeyHook". Used mostly to create "keyloggers" ( Bad bad bad ! )

This is one way to do it for Windows: ( Now Windows Mobile)

http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/lofiversion/index.php/t14610.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for the help and hints sofar :) I don't want to write a keylogger :D Actually, I only want to get back the capacitive sensor touches from the HTC Touch Diamond and Pro to my Child Window.

I figured out, that on the Today screen, I get the focus automatically, when I create the child Window in CreateWindow with:

WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_POPUP

The WS_POPUP makes sure that when the Start Bar is shown, the Child Window can capture the WM_HTC_TOUCH callbacks. So that part is working now :)

Now the next problem occurs. When another program (non-full screen) is active, I can see the Child Window, but then it does not get focus. I tried to hide/show the Child Window and funny enough, the Child Window is even shown over a full screen window. But the WMC_HTC_TOUCH callbacks are not coming now, unfortunately. That is of course understandable, because normal the input should go to the active program. But I am writing a locking application and when locked it is not a problem that the input is going to my Child Window, that is the intention.

I tried to send a mouse_event to the Child Window, but that does not seem to work. I will search further how I can get the W_HTC_TOUCH events when an active program is running. Any hints or alternative ideas are welcome :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burner27:
Did you ever work on a smartphone version? It sounds like a great program, but I guess I can't use it on my Q9h. :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Sorry man. There is no smartphone version. I googled, and found a battery monitor program without percentage for smartphones:

Do you know this one, or you need the percentages ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
I installed this last night and it seems cool and works.. There are two things I wished it did..

Not cover up an existing icon or start menu to work

Have an option to slide the location in portrait and landscape
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have a workaround for the second problem. When I recreate the child window, it gets the focus, although another (full-screen) program became active (e.g. call coming in). So now, when it is locked, I am going to recreate the child window regularly (when the backlight is not off).

Maybe there are other more elegant ways to get the focus to the WS_POPUP child Window :cool:, but at least this one works :rolleyes:

Battery monitor disappears after soft reset on Fuze

I was running this monitor fine on my Fuze, until today when I had to hard reset, and I skipped the AT&T bloatware. Now, every time I soft reset the Fuze, the battery monitor does not launch and I have to go into file explorer and execute it again. Very annoying, any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jocelyn:
Did you put it in the startup folder???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
Very cool indeed. Only issue I had was when I open a prog I have set to "show clock" on top of prog. Unlike the original battery indicator, Ariel doesn't disappear when I open prog and switch to clock. If this is can be done... will be perfect. Even then a super prog. love the customization options. Keep it up. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
I am not quite understanding the problem you described.

1) Did you put Ariel Battery on top of the Start button icon or on top of some other icon ?

2) Why would someone change the default battery icon to clock ? Can you post a screenshot ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
What I meant was: if you place AB on the standard battery icon (not on start) while on Today screen its fine. BUT if you chose the option Settings>System>Clock&Alarm>>More and then tick "Display the clock on the title bar in all program. THEN while one enters another program the AB covers the clock which actually appears in place of the standard Battery indicator. I hope its clear? Or I could try and post a screen shot. If only AB could behave like the Standard battery indicator which disappears and is replaced by the clock when one enters a prog. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Ariel Battery was built to be visible at all times, unlike other Today Screen programs. It is recommended to put Ariel Battery to cover the Start icon.

Personally, I can't see why it's usefull to replace the battery indicator with a clock every time a program is ran and covers the today screen.

On my PPC, the clock is visible at all times, and Ariel Battery is visible at all times as well, covering the start icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
You see when you have the HTC Home for Today one really doesn't need a clock the Today screen all the time. Because there is such a huge clock anyway. Whereas there isn't any Bat indicator on the HTC Home plug-in. So your little prog would/is a great replacement for the standard bat indicator. Especially the fact that is shows bat power in %. Anyway, just my view. :)

What a great program! Thank you. :) I am using it with my Touch Pro.

I'd love it if dmarden's request for a separate landscape position was added, though. Right now, I have it covering the Ok/X button in Portrait, and it moves (or rather doesn't) to cover the wifi signal meter in landscape.

Covering the start menu was a great idea, but I found that I personally used it too much to keep it there. :)

Wich "Fill" type did you choose in the setup? The Background value is ignored unless you set the fill to "custom"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yzf750:
I'm noticing a couple background color problems recently (Fuze). It seems that youtube and opera take the background color away from it once they are opened, used and then closed. If I click on the battery status icon however it seems to reset to the color choose. Opera seems to be the main one, so i would put the blame on that most likely.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radaan:
colours

I have a suggestion. First congrats about the app, is great.

The suggestion is, an option in the setup, to change the backgroun according to the percentage. From 100% to 40% green, from 40% to 10% yellow, and bellow that, red. It would give the app a better look and funcionallity and i think in my ignorance that is easy to do.
