That is great news, so you have a 6.5 ROM I assume?

/	MY XML EDITOR /

/------------------------------------------------/

I was unable to (no matter how much I tired or where I put the files) get PHM Notepad. I did find pocket text editor, which does work. Just copy the files to My Documents, and you can edit it from there. So far it works perfectly and saves the file correctly. I have attached the pocket text editor cab

/ How to create a link to a phone number /

/------------------------------------------------/

I found using vj555 phone tools, you can have an icon call a phone number. You can download the phone tools here:

http://www.vijay555.com/

Just make sure you aim at the dialer and set the phone number as a parameter. For Example

<icon name="Home" image="home.png" exec="\program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" parameters="8881234567" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

When you hit the button, it will automatically dial that number. Remember no dashes in the phone number.

I was hoping someone could tell me how to create icons that link to a folder. ie. games or settings. In addition, how can I create an icon that links to a specific web page. thanks for the help.

if you use the long press "open with program" make sure you uncheck that option quote file path or something that worked for me

/ Create a link to a website /

/-----------------------------------/

To create a link to a website, select the program you want the site to open in, in mycase, I use Skyfire. Under the parameters, put the exact website. Here is my icon to this forum.

<icon name="X-divs" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\XDADevs2.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skyfire.lnk" parameters="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=508429" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

/-----------------------------------/

/ Create a link to a folder /

/-----------------------------------/

As for a folder link; that is a little more complex. First use file explorer to find the folder. Long press the folder and select copy. Then find a location you want to store the folder shortcuts. Long Press and "paste shortcut"; rename the shortcut to something like icons.

<icon name="Icons" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\icons.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="\icons.lnk" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

hi, i had similar problems... the download seems to come oriented for vga or wvga. i have qvga and finally figured out how to edit the .xml files. if you have qvga and a 240 x 320 screen edit the settings xml to height 240 and icons width to 45 that suddenly made all icons appear! remember to uncheck the iphone today while editind the xml and when done and saved recheck and see if it worked. hope this helps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] richardlw2001:
i dont know the first stp on how to edit the setting. my screen is 240 x 320 also. where do i go and what do i do. thanx

Downlod the cab from the location:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3777577&postcount=251

install it on your phone memory and then download the file at location

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=137

unzip and paste the folder "iPhoneToday" in the root of your phone. Go to today > items , uncheck iPhoneToday. Come to desktop. Go to today > items , check iPhoneToday.

You should be able to see the icons.

PS: You will need a third party software to edit the ini files inside the iPhoneToday folder. It can be downloaded on page 1 of this forum

Clock Button

Are there any way to create a button that shows actual time, like the calendar button with day data ???

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
This is from my install on post 197. Here is what each item in that "add icon" screen means:

Screen: This should be filled out all ready; set screen to -1 for bottom icons and 0 for 1st page

Icon: Where do you want the icon on the page?

Page: (select -1 for the bottom bar, 0 for the 1st page and up from there)

Icon: (same, but for where the icon goes; 0 for 1st icon and so on; I do not recommend more than 12 icons on one screen)

Name: name the icon

Image: any BMP or png file for the icon

Type: If this is a special icon, select it, otherwise select normal

Execute: This is the program that runs when the icon is pressed

Parameters: this is a command or setting used for the program being run. For example if you have a program that dials a number, this is where you would put the phone number

ExecuteAlt: What runs when the icon (special icon) has a status

ParamsAlt: this is a command or setting used for the Alt program being run if any.

@richardlw2001

To edit the xml files; you use notepad on your computer,

1. Copy both the icons.xml and settings.xml file to your computer.

2. Open the file in notepad; to do this

a. right click the file,

b. in the menu that pops up, select "open with"

c. Select choose program.

d. A new box will open. In this box check the bottom check box that says "always use the selected program..." or something like that.

e. As for the program to use, select notepad.

f. If it is not listed under the listed programs there is an additional programs area you can click.

Basically you need to open the file in notepad. To help I have attached my settings and icons file. Just copy these to your phone, put them in the iphone today folder in the root of the phone. The settings file I have attached is when you still have the bottom bar. I recommend getting this to work first, then see if you can delete the bottom bar.

I just installed EnergyROm 3.0 with WM 6.5. Will iPhone Today work with 6.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] richardlw2001:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
The MTP (manillia today page" only works ojn Manillia 3D, it does not work on 2D. If you search for the forum, it explains how to use it there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I have the tilt and just tried this on 2 different WM 6.5 roms and it worked perfectly the 1st time.:D Just had to redirect my icons to a few items.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drjim:
I'm using it in conjunction with Manila Today Page because, unbelievably, 6.5 still doesn't have a screen swipe for changing Programs screens (unless I'm missing something and, if so, please correct me).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Nope 6.5 does not have screen swipe from what I have found either
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fishwiz45:
this may have been answered....has anyone found a way to have a custom background or are we only able to have black?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
MiToNiOeS is working on a version with a background. There is problems with this and making a background is complicated. Check out his post here:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I was just thinking, and I don't know how hard this would be, so if it is, ignore it. Currently the iPhone today has a black background. What if it was clear? That way what ever is the main today background would show up and not affect the plug in?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CR7KB24:
If anyone is looking for icons here is a great place! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fishwiz45:
YES!

yes! that would be awesome! a transparent background version! great idea! i hope...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
@MiToNiOeS

I think the feature required is highlighting the icon when it is pressed i.e. if i press phone icon, it opens up but in scenarios when a slightly heavy application has to open, sometime it feels like user hasnt pressed. It would be nice if the application has feature by which when a user presses or taps the icon, it should get highlighted or either have a rectangular frame around it to know it is pressed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
can i somehow download complete package of icons....

and is it possible to get image in backround??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
you have to modify the settings.xml and the icons.xml.

make sure that the path to the icons is the right one (e.g. iPhoneToday\icons\...)

btw.: Thanks for this nice app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
i test on htc diamond and QVGA emulator only... but it must to run in all devices resolutions...

remember copy the iPhoneToday folder on root of internal memory and reactive the plugin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
I am working on a new algortim for paint the icons, i am testing but i have to change a big part of code, i will try to have a new cab in 1 or 2 days
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
I tried the app and all I have to say is

GREAT WORK!

Only a few suggestions:

- "parameters" for the execAlt (Ie if using Icontact as call history)

- an option for the bottom 4 Icons to stay

- a little "tool" or a way to change icons while running or

to change an icon and then automaticaly restart/redraw.

maybe an exe with commandline params like

"changeicon.exe -2 -4 -wifioff.png - Off"

would change the 4th icon on the second page to wifioff.png and the title to "Off"

WHY?

Ie for having a green Icon when wifi is on and a red icon when wifi is off

allso integration of mp3 player control would be doable, weather icons and so on... With mortscript in background it would be totally configurable.

But enough whining. Allso without those features this app is best IPhone Ui for WM so far (even better than ifonz 1 or 2 since it is a home screen)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
really cool today plugin...

I found 2 little bugs:

- using a QVGA resolution the number of the day doesn't resize (it stays too big) in the calendar icon

- changing the weekday names in the settings.xml have no effect (it stays Son - Sat)

Suggestions:

- when I'm using only 1 screen, there will be no need of an indicator dot

- a permanent bottom row of buttons would be nice

- option to hide the standard windows bottom bar

Question:

- how do I set parameters like: -service "SMS -to "" -body ""

(how do I set the quotes?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Beautiful, it works ok!

EDIT

The only thing is that seems i'm not able to load more than 8 pages of icons... is it a known limit?

it's impossible to attach my icons.xml file, but if i have 8 pages all is ok, when i add the 9th iPhoneToday doesn't show anymore.

Last thing: is there a way to reduce font size or to change font?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LcBoi:
I agree really nice work.

I also agree that the suggestions from moesfeld would be nice too.

But do you think you can try adding landscape support into the app aswell?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

P.s. here's a screenshot you might be able to add into your first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunnyou:
hey can you teach step by step for wvga? I dun understand what you are saying at all,installed by there is nothing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
hi, the plugin has crased now when i have received a call, someone have this problem?? (To do softreset and all ok)

your suggestions:

- "parameters" for the execAlt (Ie if using Icontact as call history): its the attribute parametersAlt

- an option for the bottom 4 Icons to stay: i think with start bar and button bar of WM we havent space for the bottoms icons bar.... do you think???

- a little "tool" or a way to change icons: yes, its planned...

- when I'm using only 1 screen, there will be no need of an indicator dot: yes! its true

- option to hide the standard windows bottom bar: its a Today, i think that its impossible

- how do I set parameters like: -service "SMS -to "" -body "": this parameters not run (i dont know why?¿?), you can to do a link (see this http://www.murmuri.com/content/pdf/Shortcuts.txt)

- changing the weekday names in the settings.xml have no effect: i will see the code today

- using a QVGA resolution the number of the day doesn't resize: i have a QVGA device to test but i will try to find a solution....

- load more than two pages of icons... is it a known limit: the limit is 8 pages and 32 icons for page

Thanks for feedback!

I want to get a version stable with my original objetives, then i will release the source code, if someone want will can to add advanced options to the program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
thanks for capture! i believe that add landscape support its very easy if i found how to get a event on the change moment, i am googling...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
MiToNiOeS, what about the 8 pages limit? It's only me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
In the meanwhile, my screenshots: i Use MTP+iPhoneToday. The result is iphone in manila tab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
I thought that was sufficient to 8 pages, in next release will put a limit of 16 pages
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
thanks, that's cool!

Also, is there a way to change/reduce font? It's a bit large, if you see screenshots in WVGA

Finally, would be great the "continuos cycling" pages: swiping left from last one to go to first, and swiping right from first to go to last

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
Sorry I just saw there is already the "parametersAlt" so nevermind my first suggestion
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
there is a little program, that allows you to hide the bottom bar on the today screen.... called dciNoBar.exe or you can use (see attachments) nueNoBar

Thanks for the hint, now I use a .lnk which contains this code:

20#"\windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drjim:
Awesome! Just what I've been looking for. I use an HTC Fuze with TF3D2. Landscape would be great, as suggested by LCboi.

I'm a bit unclear about accessing this screen if I'm using TF3D2. Will there be a tab at the bottom of the screen along the sliding tabs? Could you link it to the Programs tab that currently exists? Shawaco's Fave screen is pretty good, but then you have to press All Programs and then you have a screen with dozens of icons. Your iPhone emulator with the page swipe would be much better.

also root folder?

is that just on your basic drive.. or in specific folder?

i get a blank screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
now, i paint each screen completly in temporal buffers and in each frame i COPY (not to paint, only to copy (faster)) the bits of the visible portion to main buffers (To the display).

If i want a static background and dinamic icons i have to paint in each frame the background and the icons with transparents zones (this is very hard for proccesors)

My first solution is a background in each screen and its moved with icons (so i can paint the complete screen in temporal buffer)

I am analizing others solutions... (Other problem is that a today plugin can to use c++ basic only)

settings issues?

Hey i think my settings are off somehow...or maybe i did something wrong.

But I used the default settings you have, with screen height = 460. Anything higher then i get a window with a scroll bar on the right...but I still have that small gap at the bottom.

I'm using a fuze with a rom using wm6.5

Did i do something wrong? Btw, i deleted all my icons that's why they aren't present.

That would be pretty cool a little like xperia panels but slideable.

If you add this feature could you add the option to maintain the aspect ratio of the background
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Please go through and read all the posts on adding a background. This has been covered many times. MiToNiOeS is working on the background, if it is even possible.

Weird, the screen should not start adding a scroll bar until you reach the bottom. The fuze (if I remember) should be 320 X 240, so you only have 320 minus the top and bottom bars (I use 267 as the height, however that may be wrong for the Fuze). What is the resolution of the Fuze? I’ll match a correct height for you if I know that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eggsbenedict:
I couldn't get this to work at all on my CDMA Diamond with 6.5 ROMs. I tried 3 different ones, but as soon as I tried to activate the today plugin, the phone froze, and required a hard reset. However, it works great with the first 6.1 ROM I tried. :)

This really is an awesome little plugin, I love how fast and snappy it is.

For those using a higher resolution display: Make the icon .png files are the same size as the icon width setting. The default ones are only 48x48, and they look so much better once you replace with bigger ones (I use 90x90 for my VGA screen).

My only problem now is how to be able to see the time at the home screen (is there a setting somewhere to make it in the title bar?), and it would be nice if there was some way of indicating whether an alarm was set or something.

Thanks for the great plugin!

Hey CR7,

I'm running EnergyROM 3.0 and it works great for me with MTP set to the Programs tab. Have you carefully reviewed your icons.xml and settings.xml? One missed or misplaced punctuation can mess things up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CR7KB24:
What do you mean by MTP was set to the programs tab.

I used the ui while running the program to add and edit icons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drjim:
I installed iT before the UI allowed easy installation. So I created my own icons.xml file. So I can't help you there.

But I had the same problem until I found a missing punctuation in icons.xml. If you are at all handy with code (very simple really) and know how to open this file with Notepad, you can look for errors.

Manila Today Page enables you to designate a tab on TF3D for Iphone Today. I hate the Programs tab that comes with TF3D, so this enables me to just touch the Program tab along the tab slider and iPhone Today opens. That way I can avoid having to deal with the, in my view, really terrible Start Menu and Program screens that comes with 6.5.

Do a search for MTP and you'll see what I mean. It is easy to connect MTP with iT.

Let me know if i can help further.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CR7KB24:
Thanks, but I can't find any errors so don't know why it's not working but im just redoing it

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
MTP; or manillia today page is a great add on to Manillia 3D, it takes over one of the tabs and changes it to a today page. That way you can load iPhone today as one of the tabs in manillia. The best of both worlds. I do not have Manillia 3D, since I have the tilt, so I can't help if it does not work, but here is the link to where you can find it and support:

I have a VGA phone, want to use MTP but the scroll bar cuts off my bottom icons. I wanted to reduce the size of my icons from 86 to fit them but when I do iphone today won't open until I set it back to 86. Are there certain sizes that you need to make them?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drjim:
Shouldn't matter. I experimented with my icon size until I found the most comfortable for me.

How did you modify the setting? The sure way is to open icons.xml in Notepad, Save, then copy over to the iPhone Today folder, reset, go to Settings--Today-Items, recheck iPhone Today.

See if that works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
Is the the icons.xml or the settings.xml, i've been changing the icon width in settings.xml to change the size and iphone today won't open if I do that.

My bad! Yes, settings.xml. You may need to adjust the screen height (farther down the settings list.
