My apology if I missed this after scanning 96 pages on my search query on this thread. I am sure this has been asked but is there a way to make TC v1.1.2 open to the 'Day View' when I press the soft key?

I used Tweaks2k2 to modify the soft key. If there is a registry tweak or another app that can get the 'Day View' to appear first on TC open would be appreciated. Pls advise

BTW - Anyone notice the small colored lines seen on the 'Week View' which separates each days appointment? What causes that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbju:
I just installed ThumbCal and love the interface very much. But I am quite annoyed by its slowness every now and then when I am using the program. It's like it's hanging and the program is not responsive to any finger pressing and I need to wait from like 10 seconds to 30 secs and it is alive again. It happens most frequently when I press too fast (this is exactly what I don't want my thumbcal to behave. I am keying in an appointment in a rush and the program needs some time off....).

ThumbCal is EXACTLY what I dream of a ppc calendar should be like but can the speed be improved or is this slowness unique to my phone? I am using Diamond with SwiftBl ROM (so the memory is good enough to do a lot of things faster).

So, I am still hanging whether to buy it or not.

Edit: Btw, I am trying to change the thumbcal icon but failed. It said either the program is not signed or one of its components is missing. Is there a way for me to change the icon of the program (mmmm,... I have an i(*cough*cough*)fone theme and want the program icon to look more square like..... My apologies if you don't like me doing this.

Question

Now the register is associated with the PPC's owner name, it has to meet any requirement minimum, maximum length?

Thanks.-
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
When specifying the path to ThumbCal.exe you need to specify the param -vd for day view. ("Program files/ThumbCal/ThumbCal.exe -vd")

The colored lines are showing the timespan of appointments within the 24 hours of the day.

I am hardly working on speeding up the pim database access at the moment. The current access method based on MS's poom api is the bottleneck...

I hope to get a faster version ready within the next weeks.

For the Icon: The next release will alos get new more stylish icon. You cannot modify the current one. The program will not start anymore.

The owner name has to be at least 3 characters long for ThumbCal. But many other applications that also depend on the owner name will need at least 5 characters. So the best would be if the name has at least 5 characters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PauloJ5:
sli - "hardly working" means doing as little as possible. You may mean working hard !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
:o I should look for an English learning course... :)

Of course I mean "working hard".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbju:
Hello Sli, I really love your thumbcal. Can you promise two things before I take out my wallet and pay you :-)? (1) try your best to speed up the database retrieval and don't upgrade to v.2 before you can do that (so that I don't need to pay for the next upgrade; (2) allow me to change the icon so that it fits my theme better?

@ SLI

Suddenly task reminders stopped working. Everything is ok when I set up a reminder in default calendar app. or in Pocket informant but when I do it in Thumbcal the reminders don't work, neither the sound nor the window pop up. I tried reinstalling thumbcal but the problem still occurs....any tips?

EDIT

I found this on your forum:

"Hello,

I noticed a problem after installing the latest version of G-alarm 0.6.4 (http://www.ageye.de) whit the diamond Home TF3d integration.

The sound and visual notification of appointments does not work more, while that of the activity yes... G-alarm sets an fictitious alarm in windows without sound.

Some Help? Thank's"

I think this might be it as I also recently installed G-alarm.....but then after the problem occured i restored my last backup and the problem still occurs. SLI any help would be appreciated .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
What do you see when you select the reminder options popup in task modification form? What options are selected?

What options are selected in the sounds&notifications control panel (Vibrate,LED,Sound,Dialog,...)?

@bbju:

As I mentioned earlier: I am currently working on a much faster version. This is my main focus at the moment. And I will not jump from version 1.1.2 to 2.x... Performance tuning should not cause the major version to be incremented.

The icon thing: The next release will get shipped with an extra dll that contains several icons especially for the different ThumbCal shortcuts (Dayview, New appointment, New task...). You will be able to modify the icons in that dll.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Hi SLI Thanks for the response I've just found a solution I need to tick DIALOG in reminder options to get it working. Now how can I force thumbcal to keep "Dialog" permanently ticked??? At the moment I have to tick it whenever I set a new reminder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
When createing a new task/appointment in ThumbCal, ThumbCal reads the systems default settings and takes them for the reminder options.

When modifying an existing task/appointment, ThumbCal uses the items reminder options.

You can set the systems default reminder options in:

Start->Settings->Personal->Sounds&Notifications: choose the tab "Notifications" and select "Reminders" from the upper list box.

Then you should see all the options ThumbCal also offers to modify. (Sound, Repeat, Dialog, LED, Vibrate)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Thanks....the funny thing is that all the options were ticked in Sounds & Notification except for LED. After i had ticked LED in Sounds andN. the DIALOG in Thumbcal became also ticked. Anyway it's working now thanks.

Maybe it helps if you rename calender.exe in the windows directory to calender.exo and then copy the renamed thumbcal.exe to the windows directory.

Like an Agenda view that is touch+inertia scrollable? That'd be pretty sweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Very interesting software - the theme fits perfectly with my current set up, and it looks much better than the standard calendar.

Is the idea behind this to replace the current calendar function ?? I know this is just a beta version, and some options such as add new are not operational at this time - but............

This fits perfect with pocket cm - and would be a great addition to any rom.

Keep up the good work - impressive beta version - congrats
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] monkeycracker:
Week View

Love this program - something simple that's not bloated like all the other PIMs out there - congratulations!

Just a couple of ideas:

1) I'd love a week view.

2) As you move through the days, it would be useful to see a quick summary of which appointments are scheduled for that day (as opposed to having to click on D-pad, scroll down twice, then click on details...). Possibly at the bottom of the calendar view???

Look forward to future releases...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistonripper:
This has definately got potential.....

If I may, I would like to add one recommendation for future updates...don't go the iphone way...keep it original and keep it touch style....although the iphone scroll selection wheel is genius...but hey we just got think away from that......I bet microsoft mobile developers are watching this site (if they've got any sense) for ideas for the next version of WM (hopefully will be all touch orientated). Or they might just copy the iphone ala vista aka OSX.

Lets keep it keep it original.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Focaldesign:
Finaly a touch based organizer!

Some questions/requests:

I use Cal+ plugin inside Ultimate Launcher so I can see the upcoming appointments on my todayscreen. Will that still work or is your app completely stand alone? If so, could you make a todayscreen plugin for that so I can use it?

I would appreciate an appointments view so you can see all appointments on that day, just like WM6 agenda, scrollable like PocketCM...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sabestian:
Good work. Perhaps you will do something OTO has never managed to become (or any other calendar replacement for that matter).

Check out MyCalendar. You could use it's way of displaying appointments in the month view (not pretty but very useful, you can see what's coming).

Or, which seems to be a more handsome way: tapping on a day would bring a popup with the day overview.

Plus time span of the appointment represented by a line across the day (seems to be a standard feature). And of course a week overview. And an "agenda" view.

I'm really looking forward to this application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acc0101:
I'm looking forward to the new version so that I can replace the MS calendar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwertz14:
Great looking app, has a lot of potential, would like to touch between month, week and day views and the ability to add new appointment. Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next release.

Customize colors?

Great app! Easy to use and looks slick!

Does anyone know how to customize the colors? The color scheme of the calendar I just downloaded is different from the one shown on the first page.

Does anyone have the color scheme below or can somone tell me how to create a brown color scheme to go with my LV theme:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Within the skin.ini file, you should find options for colours. replace the #RRGGBB with whatever you want. Experiment with defferent values to find what you want. Where the skin.ini file is depends on how you installed the app.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sbp:
To the developer

I agree with Monkeycracker, it would be nice if you quickly was able to see your appointment on a given day. Maybe as he suggest;

Or maybe using a transparent pop-up with the detailed view of the appointments.

If possible this pop-up shouldn't be touch sensitive, so that you could press on the dates beneath, to change the actual date - and the appointments would change on the pop-up. Is this understandable??

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KukurikU:
i really should like to give it a rest with the colors and themes and live the developer a chance to deal with the functionality.

please let him be....so, you'll have "this" or "that" theme but the prog is only 70% useful. stop being so childish.

s.l.i., keep developing this. we have here lots of photoshop experts but not enough talented programmers. do your stuff. you really don't have to comply with all the themes and colors requests.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
The themes and colours are created by modifying a .ini file. The photoshop experts can do that, whilst s.l.i can focus on the excellent app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MonteCristoffOn:
Here are cab files which don't have the program link path hardcoded

You should make a correction on yours, l3v5y... think of all non WWE devices ! :D

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
TC is really great, but I have a problem: The program creates the special shortcuts in the folder "ThumbCal" every time it starts. This is really annoying. If I delete or move them they will be created again. Please change this so that they will only be created at installing the program. Nearly every other program does it this way.

And it would be nice if the menu wouldn't cover the menu button. it should be shown above the button. Just like the softkey menus of other apps.

And I also have the problem with the equal looking icons, but I've already read that this will be fixed with the next version. I just hope that the next version will be out soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
if you change the name of thumbcal to calendar.exe and put it in the windows dir, and then copy the lang file and the skin file over there too, it'll work great on M2D (i tried that).

s.l.i, i've been using TC 1.1.2 for a long time now and i thought i'd write a series of feedbacks for you after a while.. but to be honest, i have nothing to write. it's perfect. everything works great, smoothly... and it looks so good.

the only thing i thought about which isn't a must but would be nice, is to have the option to mark "completed tasks" thru the main screen by marking a V instead of having to open the task itself.

cheers dude.

how did you alter system files?

example: calendar.exe to calendar.bak

things ive tried: file explorer, wmstorage, alter from windows, ive searched alot but cant find the answer

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
@sli

you are talking about a new version - some news ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A2E:
A few additional bugs I would like to see fixed in a next version:

1) Ability to Copy & Paste in all the text-entry fields (Meeting title, notes etc.). Currently long-clicking doesn't give any menu.

2) For some reason I can't switch keyboards when in Thumbcal. I need to switch to a different app, select the keyboard I want, then go back into thumbcal.

3) When entering a new appointment, it default to the current time. So if the current time is 10:47, the new meeting will default to start at 10:47 -- what are the chances that that's when you want your new appointment to start? :) Default should be to round up the minutes, say to 11:00

4) When moving an appointment's date, it re-sets the length of the meeting to one hour. It should save the original length! I just wanted to move the date.

Thanks!

Bug - Undated Tasks

Haven't seen this pointed out before, but I apologize if it was:

Undated Tasks (=date set with the default WM Tasks application to "none") appear in thumbcal as having a due date of 01/01/01
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbus:
First off - great app!

I have a problem. I have done the trick with renaming calendar.exe and it works with manilla however, everytime I click on the appointment it has to re-load everything and it takes forever since I have alot of appts.

Is there a way to just make it read the appts once and keep them in cache or something?

Thanks.

when is the new vesion ready ?

we heard for some weeks, that the new version is soon ready ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Hi @all!

The new version is almost finished.

The main focus for this new release is the speed.

ThumbCal will be a lot faster especially on devices with many appointments/tasks.

Other changes are:

- fixes in the graphics engine (sometimes the forms and controls were not drawn on vga and bigger (Touch HD, Xperia) screens)

- and some usability improvements and wishes posted here, into my forum and via email - just wait and see!

Please excuse that I don't appoint a fix release date here - but it will not take ages :)

Hi SLI.

Will the skin format stay the same or need to be changed to support the new version ?

Does this replace the default calendar? Like if i click where i click now to bring up the calendar, will this one come up instead or do i have to locate a different shortcut to bring this one up?

And I was told this costs money now, is this true?

Very nice skin. Any chance you could make a TF2D skin similar to this with blue instead of green?

I have a freezing problem as well. Thumbcal works as a default calendar, upcoming appointments are displayed on my today screen,but everytime there is an appointment and I tap on it, trying to open thumbcal, everything freezes... And the appointment name is short.

(I also use the ultimate launch.)

So.. I can't wait for the next release too :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Yes, it does. Just install the new one over the old one and all is fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JueLue:
Now ist really highspeed!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snachez:
Hmm. This version seems to be a lot slower on my TyTnII.

Odd because 1.1.2 was fairly quick to load and scroll.. but now there's a 10-15 sec wait while a green box loads, then the calander pops up. The lag between scrolling and the date still appears about the same... What's that first green box meant to do ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
I've a similar problem on my tytn II....it takes about 7 seconds to load the app. The loading time of the previous version was much shorter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
works very fast on my polaris, loads pretty fast... and works VERY fast. i LOVE the option to mark apps and tasks from any menu.

thanks man.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nheeka:
the new update isn't that great on omnia ... When trying to write the subject of a new appointment or a new task, samsung phonepad (which i always use) does not allow to switch to letters. Only numbers are available.

any fix for that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JueLue:
When scrolling through the weeks in week view, there is a limit of 8 weeks, you can scroll through. On the thumbapps homepage, it says, there is no limit. Ist this a problem of my device?

JueLue
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s.l.i:
Oh sorry, the week view doesn't scroll endless. This was a mistake on the website description... :o It is planned and in work. Not a problem of your device.

The Omnia keypad problem is new to me and I will definitely investigate this. Resco's keyboard and the MS standard SIPs don't make this trouble. I will also test some other SIPs.

The main change in this release is - as I mentioned earlier - the speed improvement. On startup, you will see the logo with a small progress bar at the bottom. While this the application loads the actual appointments and tasks. When it is ready the known ThumbCal interface will be shown and one should be able to scroll between months and days without to have to wait for loading the appointments and tasks.

Important is that you need to uncheck the option "Close on minimize" in the settings form since the cache is hold in RAM. It is not persistant. The next time ThumbCal gets reopened or better: maximized, it will not have to reload the whole cache. It gets notified about changes to the pim database and pushes/removes the added/modified and deleted items to/from the cache also in background.

To benefit from this new caching system, the application should just be minimized and not completely closed. The ammount of used memory isn't that much since not the complete appointment/task records will be cached.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
This is wonderful sli, and it does work great on my polaris. just one thing. when i click exit it doesn't exit.. it minimizes.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sylverstar:

Hey sli,

thank you for this great update to v1.2

ThumbCal will become better and better. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluemetalaxe:
SLI this is now very very fast, a real difference to the last version. wonderfull. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbju:
There's a "close on minimize" in the settings. Maybe you can toggle that to really exit the program. Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbju:
Thanks!

Thanks sli. It works significantly faster on my diamond. I loved the program with your previous version and I love it more now. I can't help but to buy it.

And I love your new program icon :-). Very much my cup of tea.

There are two things I can't live without (if I need to keep my diamond phone): your thumbcal and A_C's s2u2. Thanks for the hard work!
