thank you!!

wow! i got what i asked for and it's really sweet you see the today background through the transparency! there is a familiar problem that i had with ifonz though...the really cool,nice icon setts out there have transparency painted into them. when you double up on the layers of transparency you get strange shades of colors and shadows.... i have some nicer icon setys with no transparency in them, so i will have two settings xml's one for background use with non transparent icons and one for the standard black background with my transparent icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
so when i try to link an icon to a program and use its shortcut icon it allows me to pick it but it shows up as black

such as skyfire

any help? thanks

EDIT i see you have skyfire and word icons on your tutorial page. where are those?

and also curious where to link wifi and bluetooth?

can there only be three pages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xuandung11a2:
This soft run very light and fast,icon very nice-I like(Ifonz has icons very bad and have to config icon to nice)However, I think can you make Iphone today be perfect iphone for ppc if:

-Have effects when press icons.:):)I think it's very important.

-Fix bug supports Wisbar advance 3 ,because it doesn't work with WA3.And mabe it doesn't work om wm6.5 .I tested.

-Support run in lanscape.

Thanks you about this soft,others iphone emulator as ifonz,itask,ultimate launch are very bad.

I am very like your soft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
Hi,

I've installed it and run perfectly, no slow animation, but I've the problem of the "pink text" when I set transparency on (I've a Samsung Omnia i900)

Question: what are the links to turn on and off the BT and WiFi?

Thanks

(sorry for my bad english :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moesfeld:
WOW:eek:

The transparent background works flawless! No (noticable) speed problems on my qvga ks20. I tried to reproduce your bug but I couldn´t. It is not slowing down when I reload the plugin.

Two little things I´ve noticed is that only fully transparent areas on the Icons are cropped.(I will make a screenshot)

So adding "real" Transparency would be nice. (at least for fixed background if you implement it)

The other problem is that the Calendar bubble don´t show. I other Apps (s2u2, Ifonz, winterface) it´s displayed correctly

Some suggestions for 0.7 final

- I think the bluetooth and wifi bubbles should be green (at least I associate green with On)

- Option to translate the bluetooth and wifi bubbles (just like the Calendar days)

- Support for different jpg background on every page. I liked your Idea and I think there will be less speed problems if you draw them directly in your app.

- An option to refresh the screen from external exe (like when adding/deleting icons I know I keep nagging about this but it´s vital for the most of the mortscripts I have done and will do for iPhonetoday)

VERRY GREAT RELEASE!

P.S.

I´m working on weather display with Icons and should be done by next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aafjes:
Sorry to repeat my question, but I really don't know why it occurs and how to solve it:

- The calender bubble gives me a 2, but I have only one appointment.

- The task bubble gives me a "+", instead of a number.

Secondly the question to the maker of this great software, whether it is possible to add the function to choose between showing the number of tasks of one day or choosing the number of all tasks.

Once again: great work!

Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Tested the 0.7 version on ASUS p320 running on WM6.1 . No crashes yet. I will be able to provide more details by the end of the day.

Below are few things noticed:

1. with transparent background enabled, the speed becomes slow

2. The icons have suddenly have a background and gets disrupted even with black background. This is not the case with 0.61 version

3. More than 10 emails, notification displays a plus "+" sign instead of number

Reloaded the plugin and i didnt find any change in the speed. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cherrro:
Hello, MiToNiOeS!

You said that you will add an animation when running a program, do you abandon this idea??

Thank you for this new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
i dont not, i get the number from actual state of windows registry... i can do nothing...

i think you have a appointment without end date...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
someday my friend, someday... sorry :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cherrro:
But why it was the best idea, the only thing missing compare to the iphone, (idiamond and ifonz had it).

Tell me, is it too difficult to add this option? (i'm not a developer)

I think you should change your mind, the app will be more beautiful,

pleeeeease :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anod:
New version is very quick and smooth on my Touch Pro...

but i have strange color of the text, it's not white.

See attached screenshot

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
i have do some test and the same animation that iphone is not smooth with GDI pure... this is not simple, i have to do more test and i will decide if its possible to do the iphone animation or to do other animation more simple :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aafjes:
Thanks for your reply. :)

Is it possible that the + at the task bubble is caused by the fact that I have 10+ tasks? If yes, is it possible to add the function to choose to only show the number of tasks of one day?

Edit: After installing everything works fine. When I edit all the icons through the program self (by holding the stylus on the icon and editing everything) it also works great. But when I put off the plugin and turn it back on, I only get the blank screen. Very strange. I have to reinstall the program and reinstall the settings and icons files. Does someone know why this occurs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emsi69:
Using IPhoneToday with my Samsung Omnia I900. Works perfectly after I adjusted the seetings. I added three speed dial buttons myself using go2contacts. I worked fine for a day and then completely messed up the plugin. It would we great to include a speed dial button in the IPhoneToday menu.

Here´s the settings that messed it up (funny enough it worked just fine for a day):

<icon name="Judith" image="\Interner Speicher\DCIM\100SSCAM\SNC00032.jpg" exec="\Programme\go2contact\go2contact.exe" parameters=""Judith"" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
not its possible, its SURE ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stevieray:
I did - and I wonder how you got your clock at the head of the display! How did you manage this?

Is there a clock on the (normal) today screen and this will be seen because your use the transparent background of version 0.7?

If yes, will this allow to see any clock of S2U2 shining through?

:) cannot wait to install and test this funny app :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aafjes:
Hehe. Ok. Good to know! But do you know why the plugin doesn't load anymore when putting it off and then putting it back on again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
Updated first post, read it please ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
i have similar problem. when i install iphonetoday with default pages, everything is OK. then i start to customize my pages to my requirements. Then i make backup of my setting via activesync. uninstall program, install it again and when i want to copy backuped files nothing happen. the screen is "blank"

anyone help...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anod:
Cool :) Thank you! :)

It's another today plugin - PDC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
just the button press animation would be sweet (like iFonz), just so you can tell when you press an icon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Could somebody please share the done links for Wireless LAN and Bluetooth?

I'm too stupid to create them on my own. Would be very nice?

What is the type number that has to be added for Bluetooth and WirelessLan? 8, 9?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
also would like to know what to do for bluetooth and wifi?

and where can i find the word, and skyfire icons that are in your guide?

i did search the thread and found a good amount of icons but those werent included

or could someone tell me what i need to do to make the icons from shortcuts work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tararura:
Yes , same here.

What I found is that after doing modification using programs UI. If you go in the folder iPhone Today. Instead of 3 files, it has four files. One is icon.xml but without any XML logo on the left side. So ie has

Icon-folder

Settings.xml ( with xml logo on left )

icon.xml ( with xml logo on left )

icon.xml ( with no logo on left side )

whenever this fourth file shows up, program stops working and I can not even use the files properly after the new install.

I can use Settings.xml and parts of the icon.xml in new install. Seems like it has something to do with creating the dial icons i.e assigning the icons to direct dialing using VJDialer or go2contact.

So a work around is that after fresh install copy the Setting.xml and icon.xml but without the pages containing the direct dial icons.

Any real solution would be nice, cause its a pain to create the new files all over again.:(

Dcinobar

if your having problems with with nuenobar (as i did using the diamond) try searching for dcinobar - so far working with no problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
There's a problem, if I set an icon type "Unread SMS & MMS" and receive an SMS, it shows "2" in the notification bubble (with "Unread SMS" works fine)

Also I would know the links to the wifi and bluetooth ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MiToNiOeS:
In this registrys you have the actual state of you screen:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\System\\State\\Messages\\sms\\Unread\\Count

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\System\\State\\Messages\\MMS\\Unread\\Count

this registrys are of windows mobile, i only copy this values. Checks your values
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
There's only the entry for the sms, not for the mms...my Samsung Omnia treats mms as sms. With "Unread SMS" it counts both sms and mms

For the Wifi and Bluetooth Toggle like the video, you use some specific app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
what has to be backed up before a hard reset?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mmosaicc:

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tararura:
New version working fine, a little slow.

One problem. I set a picture as my background but its not clear. Its like there is a milky screen in front of it. Any ideas? I changed the picture but same thing. I st it through Settings>Personal>Today>Appearance

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michaelpegaso:
To view the image "on" in bluetooth and fiwi must be press and maintained than those icons a 4 seconds after really three options you have to choose edit icon change within "type" and put in the fiwi icon the "wifi state" option after ok and save changes and bluetooth thing but selecting "bluetooth state"

I hope that they will help.

A greeting and Sorry for my English :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GoingInside:
icons names are defined in icons.xml. Create a file call icons.xml and put it in /iPhoneToday. eg

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<root>

<screen>

<icon name="Bluetooth" image="bluetooth.png" exec="\Windows\Bluetooth Explorer.exe" parameters="" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

<icon name="GPS Tool" image="gpstool.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GPS\HTC GPS Tool.lnk" parameters="" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

<icon name="Adv Config" image="advconfig.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tweaks\AdvancedConfig.lnk" parameters="" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

<icon name="Com Mgr" image="commgr.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Comm Manager.lnk" parameters="" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>

</screen>

<bottomBar>

</bottomBar>

</root>

If you want any static icons to remain at the bottom, put your icon names, paths, parameter etc between <bottomBar> and </bottomBar>. Just experiment it yourself. Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cherrro:
I think a more simple animation is better than nothing, the principal is to have a beautiful transition, not directly the application we run (because wm take time to open some apps).

Thank you MiToNiOeS for your availability and all your quick answers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
try google on xda

AKToggleWifi

BTOnOff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
i think i found a problem. when i add icon with sms to the icons.xml i have a blank screen. after remove it it works very good. i don't know why that's happen - still investigating...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
same here :|
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
To change the pink font just disable ClearType in your display settings and restart. I guess, iPhoneToday doesn't support ClearType till now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] savrix85:
I will try them, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Sorry I have been gone for so long, had some personal stuff to attend to. Hopefully for the questions below, this helps if you have not found the answer yet...

Just in case you missed it (thanks kriis): google search "xda AKToggleWifi BTOnOff" This will give you links to wifi and BT

When you make changes, do any of you exec locations or names have anything but letters; like "pictures & videos.exe"? the "&" sign or something like that will crash iPhone today. Also how are you editing your files? Using the UI or with text editor. If you are using text editor, try the UI, or copy the file to your computer and edit it there.

BT and Wifi, see above, as for the skyfire and work icons; look through the posts here, there are many links to icon packs. you can also google "png icons" to find even more. If you can't find any, let me know I have a lot and can upload the seti I use.

You need to backup your icons folder, icons.xml and settings.xml files. I keep a folder called iPhone Today on my storage card with these in them. Whene ever I make a change I recopy them back to my storage card, that way all you have to do is copy this folder to your root after hard reset, install iPhone today; uncheck the plug in, reset phone, turn iPhone today back on and you are ready to go.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I was unable to find these again. Forgot what they were called.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I have tried 0.7 on 2 different WM 6.1 and 3 different 6.5 and it never runs slow. I tried to do everything in the video you did and it always runs fast. Double check after you load from the today screen, that noting is running in the background. Tap the task list in the upper right hand corner and see how much memory you are using. There may be something that gets loaded after youy load the today screen that is slowing everything down. Wish I was more help. One thing I did notice, 0.7 seems to be slower on non QVGA devices. I have a QVGA and that may be the difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ad25121048:
This is a great little app. The best home screen I've used in a long time. Thanks very much for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
i found the problem. as i wrote erlier the problematic shortcut was sms icon. it refers to windows *.lnk file which was created by windows and located in \windows\menu start\. i don't know why, but this link was corrupted.

original:

19#:MSINBOX

when i changed it to:

8#:MSINBOX

the iphonetoday work OK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Here is my feedback to v0.7:

First of all, thanks for the tip with AKToggleWifi and BTOnOff. Both is working. The speed hasn't changed. At least on my QVGA device it is as fast as the previous version. The unread email type shows no elements of the outlook that I sync. WiFi and Bluetooth still show no on or off. What type should I use???

Can't tell something about the calender yet. Last version counted number of unread emails on calender. Tomorrow I know more.

edit:

Earlier than thought. Calendar still shows number of unread emails instead of appointments...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
thanks for the responses and bt and wifi

hopefully last question for a while

i added the thread to the top of the settings file for clear background but it didnt seem to work

is there a second step?

does anyone know where to link to the htc calls log? the one that has the big buttons along the bottom

and if someone could put the necasarry link for the settings folder for me id appreciate it. its in the standard location
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meeprom:
How with folder "program"

Hello, I try shortcut with the folder " program" but don't work, give me a error.

How I have to make?

Thanks for help.

P.S.: for me this iphonetoday is plugin number one!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I think it has to do with the 19# and 8#.. That number refers to the number of charachters in the command line. Since there are only 8 for this one, that may be why. Other then that I have no idea. Glad it works though.

I placed the command for the background at the very end of the settings file just before the last </root>. So the end of the filter looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<root>
<iconWidth>45</iconWidth>
<numIcons>4</numIcons>
<moveThreshold>15</moveThreshold>
<maxVelocitiy>240</maxVelocitiy>
<minVelocitiy>10</minVelocitiy>
<refreshTime>15</refreshTime>

<Tuesday>Tue</Tuesday>
<Wednesday>Wed</Wednesday>
<Thursday>Thu</Thursday>
<Friday>Fri</Friday>
<Saturday>Sat</Saturday>

<backTransparent>1</backTransparent>
</root>

As for the call logs, i'm working on that one. When I find out, I'll let you know; I just need to find the correct command line for a link

This is a little complicated; 1st you need to know the exact path to the folder you want to link to. Set the exe= to your file explorer and the parameters to the folder location. Here is my link to my games folder:

Screen:	2	Icon:	0

Name: Games

Image: \iPhone Today\Icons\games.png

Type: Normal

Execute:	\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\File Explorer.lnk

Parameters: \windows\start menu\programs\games\

ExecuteAlt:

ParamsAlt:

Don't forget trhe last "\"

Hi Kriis, where can I find these commands (19#MSINBOX / 8#MSINBOX)?

Thanks for your reply :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
so i dont know how this happened

but i went in and edited the settings doc and put the backround thread where you said to

and then iphone today wouldnt load.

so i went and changed it back.

still woudlnt load. uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing...

EDIT- sometimes i amaze myself :p somehow a blank line got added in after one of the pages in the xml file but found it deleted it and back to workin great

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scabbard1:
What I find really interesting in the video is that you are using the windows mobile dialer, but have a unique bluetooth icon when bluetooth is activated. I am using the bluetooth fix to get an icon period, but I was wondering how you achieved this nice looking icon with using the windows mobile dialer. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modulus_1:
Ok, since yesterday, I've hard reset my Touch Pro at least 5 times. Finally I got annoyed and created a CAB that just disables the iPhoneToday plugin in the registry, then put that cab in my \Windows\StartUp folder so that when it inevitably crashes, I can just barely run the cab at boot and disable iPhoneToday, it still crashes, but one soft-reset later I'm back in.. However, my settings/icons.xml files are hosed and I have to restore from a backup. They appear to be corrupted by the built-in editor.. But not every time.

It doesn't seem like the app should cause WM to crash if the settings or icons files are hosed.. This is a serious lack of error checking.. :p Anyway, here's my cab if anyone else is having the same problem..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fishwiz45:
icon shadows

i'm having trouble finding icons that look good. everything i come across has a funny the shadow that shows up at the bottom edge of the icon. they look great on the black background but shabby with the transparent one and my lighter colored today wallpapers... any crisp clean icon packs with no shadows out there?:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lbhocky19:
the front page makes it sound alot harder then it really is

once its installed u just need to know where your shortcuts are and where you have icons and your fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kriis:
simply create a file name whatever.lnk and put string inside

8#:MSINBOX

remember about ":" (colon/dots) after "#" (hash)

you can also find this lnk file in \windows\menu start\"messages.lnk" (i don't know what is the english name)

Thank you j101399j, now it work, but if I put Parameters \windows\start menu\programs\ open me this folder but I want open folder programs with big icon the same you go start - programs.

Hey Man...great work!! it works smoothly on my touch hd...

i haven't the same problem of you...it never goes slower...it's ever smooth and amazingly speedy!!!! :)

I made some changes in order to fit the plugin with the bigger screen of my touch hd..and it works really well...i changed the resolution of the icons, i made a background in which the iphone dock appears under the 4 bottom icons...and now it is just like the iphone!! :)

If you need my configuration to make it work well on a WVGA screen, just say it...I'll be proud of posting it...

just a question : Is there a way to make it works as fullscreen?? and is there a way to add a clock in this beautiful today screen??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mt2005:
Hi all,

first of all - great soft - thank you.

Am I missing something or how could I have counter (notification) on all my email accounts? I have now 2 email accounts (ActiveSync and POP3 accounts), but if I set the icon to check emails; it only shows number of emails in account of "POP3".

How do you either count all email messages together, or how do you separate those two accounts into two different icons?

Thank you in advance.

edit: version 7 is also slower on my HTC Diamond
