Alarm line?!?

I'am using the PDC with my TouchHD without any problems (No-Manila, no Titianium)! The only enhancement would be an additional line when there is an alarm within the next 12h with the alarm time! Or no Alarm-Icon when not within the next 12h... I think, this is a standard windows lack of functionality!

Does anyone knows a trick to suppress the alarm icon for non actual alarms!

Run Scheduled?

Hi! I'm testing the pocket digital clock in my treo pro.

It's a nice plugin.

I want to run it only in night mode (scheduled profile).

But i'cant find the PDC .exe file to add in the scheduled profile software.

Can you tell me how to find it?

Thanks for advanced

is a good application, I'm using it

very nice:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Proteusmega:
Thank you for this plug-in, I used it on my Asus P527 since I bought an HTC Touch HD.

Two years ago I also wrote a post on my blog about it (sorry, I can't post link because I'm a new user).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Perfect - just what I've been looking for

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I think I am missing something here - seems simple enough.

Install is okay, but after soft reset - the font on the clock plug in is okay, but the rest of the phone is not

I get all kinds of jiberish, squares and other stuff that I cannot read. I have to go in and manually delete each file for this clock, then soft reset again - before the system text goes back to normal

Any ideas ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caballero600:
this is perfect!!! I know rltoday is customizable but...

Can I change the day of the week (Tuesday for example) for the operator name (Vodafone)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Innova:
Ionized thank so much for Your PDC

Bye bye HTC home
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Not sure why but the segoe ui custom font seems to react poorly with the pocket cm I have installed.

Unfortunately - my phone hung on splash screen while I was attempting to fix the problem and was soft resetting.

I've reflashed my O/S - installed all of my previous components, including pocket cm and this clock.

Everything works fine - go figure

For now I'll avoid any custom fonts - may be a remote issue with my set up, will see if anyone else posts problems.

Thanks again

I would have loved this program a couple weeks ago, but i grew tired of the HTC home program taking up so much space, and with ultimatelaunch, htc home is now pointless for me. I created a config in RLToday to have just the time, date, clock, and message notifications. I tried messing with fonts, but had the problem of other programs getting the crazy fonts.

Great Clock

Its perfect!!! Bye bye HTC Home!!!

Only one question... Can I change the clock font size?

I would to have a little bit more big the clock.

Thank you so much!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ionized:
This is the infamous Windows Mobile font bug I mentioned previously. Are you using any third party language packs?

As for the Segoe UI font problem, I think I'll need to redo the font name mappings so it doesn't link with some of the other system fonts.

Thanks for the feedback bill_in_mtl.

Sorry, you can't. This is strictly a date and time plug-in only.

The time format, including the time marker (AM/PM), relies heavily on your settings in Regional Settings. What is the Time Style in your Regional Settings? Does it say hh:mm:ss tt or HH:mm:ss? I will modify the program slightly to test for "tt" instead of "hh" or "HH" in the next update.

The digits are fixed size at the moment. This is actually the biggest I can go. Any bigger, the digits will print out of the screen when the scroll bar appears. This is due to the extra second digits.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evilc:
+1 for that suggestion. With that on the top and ultimatelaunch on the bottom, one is sorted ;)

As I said in an email to you, rlToday has issues when going from portrait to landscape and back (doesn't change aspect ratio) and also it causes a problem with ultimatelaunch whereby a scrollbar appears on the right, which when it disappears, chops off the right of the clock background. It would also be nice to be able to use rlToday inside the ultimatelaunch cube, but you can have only one instance (two I hear if you hack another install) of rlToday, so it would be nice to be able to use your plugin to handle the clock.

So please, pretty pretty please, can we have message counters?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I played around a bit too much with this, and the phone basically froze on splash screen - and was done for.

Got it into bootloader mode - reflashed the phone, updated everything and put your software back in - without the custom font.

No issues, no concerns - am back to my original statement

It's just what I was looking for - thanks.

Have a good one

Today Screen (Solved)

I have SPB Mobile Shell installed along with the PDC and I wanted PDC to be on top of MS2 on the today screen and on the setting it won't allow me to do that. Is there a workaround through registry setting?

Solved by Editing Registry setting of Today (Type = 4 for Mobile Shell)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] al3azim:
I installed the app with the default font and everything was fine except the font in the touch cube. It was all messed up with squares and ?. I did not install any custom fonts and I do not have any other fonts installed. Once I removed the application everthing went back to normal. It seems it does not like teh PDF.TTF font that comes with teh app. Can you please take a look at to see if there is anything that can be done to resolve that?

Also is there a possibility of maybe adding an option to turn of the "seconds" portion of the clock?

Thank you and great app by the way

Luv this program but after I installed on a clean HTC Touch (no other 3rd party apps), it garbled my touch cube fonts with squares and question marks. Any way to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ionized:
Please read the Customization page.

I'm aware that HTC Cube is grabbing fonts from other programs. Can I ask a favor from HTC Cube users? Copy Tahoma.TTF (or some other fonts you prefer) from your computer and paste it under \Windows\ folder in your Windows Mobile device. Install Pocket Digital Clock and do a soft reset. Please let me know if that will solve the garbled characters. Thank you.

PDC v1.2RC

# Pocket Digital Clock Release Candidate 1.2 (7 March 2008)

* Check for "tt" in the time format string instead of "hh" or "HH" to determine if 24-hour format is used. This is to facilitate the printing of time markers.

* Added the ability to suppress second digits. See Customization for details

Ok, I tried installing the Tahoma.ttf file to /windows directory of my device. Then found that the font already exists in the /windows directory along with Tahomabd.tff. So I surfed more and more posts and found - http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-315968.html. A fellow has already given a work-around which is to copy the Verdana.ttf font from your pc to your device placing it under /windows. This cured all my probs. Be sure to soft reset device afterwards. This solved my problems with garbled fonts in the cube and in comm manager and my clock is sittin pretty on my today screen. Thanks for all the help and hope this helps someone else.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheETENguardian:
am to pm

I had this same problem... i discovered that windows mobile 6 (at least that's the one i have) has a bug here.

Some countries have as standard the 24-hour clock, like the Netherlands for example. So you have to change your country settings to UK (or US) and then change the clock to hh MMM ss (the h shouldn't be a capital H else you get the 24 hour clock) after you changed it to the lowercase h.. you can change the country back to your own. . and it i'll work! :)

little sidenote: the dutch rom's also have VM and NM .. instead of AM and PM. But this is easy to change in the time settings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nathrinder:
This is the best digital clock I have ever found. Thanks for your work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
I confirm the correction

just install VERDANA.ttf from your PC into Windows folder directly , not in Fonts and soft reset

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh really good clock , I keep this one with seconds , I find it much nice

I put the VERDANA.zip here for all who have problem (displaying ???????? instead of normal display) You just have to unzip it , take VERDANA.ttf and to put into Windows on your ppc and then soft Reset

@Kangmas,

Yeah it stops moving when locking the device. Thought it continues when unlocking :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caballero600:
yeah, verdana font solves the problem, but is this the font of the applauncher of the cube??? I see this strange, i think it was other font before this happens...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
caballero

I think it is just because Verdana is the last font installed that now it works

It doesn't mean Verdana is the the font of the cube , but it is just a way to Windows to remember of normal font instead of PDC

It is a bug of windows Mobile , the developper of PDC told me that by mail
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j.a:
For those of you that are still having problems with the cube fonts:

Keep in mind that the Cube (for some reason) reads the the font list in alphabetical order from a to z and then grabs the last font (this info is from the phonealarm forum).

So if you are still have problems after installing Verdana.tff or Tahoma.tff into the windows directory (like I was) rename the font to:

zzz.tff

or

zzzVerdana.tff

or

zzzTahoma.tff

Renaming the font to zzz.tff worked for me after the soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caballero600:
and which is the correct font for the cube? Every font i will add, it will change the cube...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spencepu3:
I love the clock, the only thing I can suggest to make it better would be to make the background .png (or whatever file type you used) less transparent. I see that you used a similar background to htc home (the top line is darker and the rest is pretty much 100 percent transparent. I would like to be able to see this background a little more because it looks really cool but right now at a glance it just looks like white digital numbers and thats it, no background. any way of changing this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Or even better, let us have access to the background image so we can change it to our liking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] C J:
I have tried every way mentioned but my fonts in my cube is still question marks. :(

I have hard-reset my touch and reinstalled PDC and reinstalled Verdana/tahoma/rename to zzzVerdana/rename to zzzTahoma/soft-reset etc and it's still the same.

I'm using the Blue ROM v4.0 by Swiftblade. Does it make a diff?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] se0siris:
I was having similar trouble. In the end I used Resco Explorerer's "Find" feature (Menu -> Find) in the windows folder to search for *.ttf and found a couple of fonts that I didn't know were there. I delete all fonts from the \Windows folder and just left Calibri and SegoeUI in the \Windows\Fonts folder. Seemed to do the trick for me.

Need testers

After racking my brain for the past few days, I think I might have the solution for those who are still facing font problem.

Edited: Test completed. No issues so far.

This time, I changed the program to use font linking. Any program that tries to use my custom font will be linked to Tahoma font instead. If you do not have Tahoma font on your device, which is very unlikely, the plug-in will not be displayed. If you do not like the custom font, disable the plugin, delete PDC.ttf in \Program Files\Pocket Digital Clock\ and the clock will use Tahoma font.

This version also resolves the problem of not detecting the time format correctly due to myriads of regional settings.

This can be done by affixing the plug-in. Please read Affixing the Plug-in at the bottom of this page.

http://project.ionized.googlepages.com/customization

Regarding the translucent background, it is drawn programmatically. It does not use any image files. Once I resolve the font problem, I may look into how to let users specify the opacity.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spencepu3:
I figured it was since I couldnt find any image file for the background. Being able to adjust the opacity would be ideal though. thanks man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FInixNOver:

A Digital Clock, just the right size, and on top of it with seconds :eek: its just great. Bye bye HTC Home Plugin, which i mainly used because of the clock, but this one is just what i was looking for, very small in size, and doesn't take much resources from the device.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ionized:
Hi Fat Boy,

What is the error message when you install the newer version?

Try this if installation fails:

- Use a Registry Editor and navigate to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Pocket Digital Clock

- Delete all keys under this path

- Soft-reset and install new version again

Sorry but I might have missed some steps in the uninstallation notes... going to update it now.

You might want to look at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\<Plug-in you want to edit> in the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
Wow, this is a great plugin. I've been using rlToday but this is simpler and does the job just as good. I have one question, and I apologize if it's already been covered but I read the thread and web site and didn't see anything. I'm fine with the default font and color, but is there any way to increase the size of the font of the clock? With rlToday I was able to make it big enough so that the clock took up almost the entire width of the today screen and right now PDC is considerably smaller. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ionized:
Hi letsgoflyers81,

The current version allows you to change the size of the font by tweaking some registry values. I am a little tied up and therefore not able to update the site regarding this info.

You might want to look at:

[\HKCU\Software\ProjectION\Pocket Digital Clock\]

HourMinFontSize = 38

SecondFontSize = 26

TimeMarkerFontSize = 9

The numbers represent font points. Increasing HourMinFontSize will enlarge the size of the plug-in.

To override font color, you must first set TextColorEnabled to 1 and then change the respective RGB values for TextColorValueR (Red), TextColorValueG (Green) and TextColorValueB (Blue).

Disable the plug-in (and remove from Today Screen) before you edit. Re-enable when you're done. You do not need to soft-reset for it to take effect.

You can play around with the other registry values if you're the adventurous type but leave AlphaReserved alone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
That did the trick, now it looks exactly how I want it to. Thanks for the awesome plugin!

Using your latest version (1.01), I noticed that although I now have the capability to change the font sizes through registry alterations, it appears to have messed up my system fonts. I have a home cooked 6.1 ROM that I have installed the SegoeUI font as my default system font (replacing Tahoma). PDC displays correctly upon install, but my system fonts are screwed up (just unreadable symbols) in Total Commander and most other programs. If I deactivate the Today PDC plug-in and soft reset, the fonts read correctly.

I have tried to delete the key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink

PDC="TAHOMA.TTF,Tahoma"

But it doesn't help.

Also, as a note, I think in order to remove the program it requires the user to uncheck the Today plug-in, soft reset, and then run Remove Program, otherwise the .dll files are loaded in memory and will not be deleted.
