[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
You are on a cool way of thinking abot the features, adwin. I assume some skinners think, that 5.4 has only one change for the Skinners (animated digiclock) and the other things are mainly for the users.

But it's perhaps not easy to find it out,what's now possible :) :

You can make your own JMLToday-Subpanel because of the notifications

- and that's very interesting for the skinners.

I explained

here

, how to make 3rd, 4th,... page without exceeding 20-item-Limit.

But now... the notifications can handle whole Plugins. Perhaps you have seen/use TitaniumRSS ( *click here* ) - it controls in FullView in a shadow-cpr 5 Panels at one time.

And almost the same is now easily to skin with JMLToday and its notifications.

One little example (useful or not :) ) :

You want to make a "Bluetooth"-Plugin - you create an own Panel (name it like you want, e.g. "JMLBluetooth") - and there you place the Bluetooth-Icon in it. But it's a new Panel where's the code? :) It's nowhere in this this Panel - it's in JMLToday.

You only write a simple .mscr,which checks the Bluetooth-Icon of JMLToday, and depen on it's state, the .mscr changes the Bluetooth-Icon in the new Panel... and now te trick: This .mscr is started by bluetooth-noification in JMLToday... and reay is the complete JMLBluetooth-Panel - full functionality - no 24/7-Background-Mortscript.

JMLToday makes the notifications of Windows accessable - and so you can use this events.

OK - Bluetooth alone is not senseful... but how about

JMLToday-SubPanels for:

- Weather

- whole Comm-Manager

- System-Information (just think - Mortscript has the possibility to show all things like free RAM and so on... only some nice Graphics... and using JMLTodayTime-notification...)

- ...

...or how about a special clock - in Jumba's Forum somebody wants a special clock (Julian Time...) - now you can make an own Plugin for it.

Use also the JMLTodayTime-Notification (each minute) and run a simple program which makes out of JMLToday-Time-Information the Julian Time - put it in a Text String, use a nice Font - and display it on the Julian-Time-Panel.

I would have much more ideas for such Plugins - which wouldn't use any performance-killing 24/7-Mortscripts anymore - but I have much to do with a little project which will come soon ;)

But: I'm no skinner - and this additional Plugins or new Pages for JMLToday are simple copy of Registry-Informations - and everything else are to make nice Images, to get a great Sub-Panel.

Jumba e.g. makes empty Panels for his Skins - now he can fill it with life (and leave the PluginLabel still empty, if you want)

And JMLGoto... you can jump to this Panels or Pages directly by command...or better: by Button-Press with JMLPanex ;) (and therefore it is integrated in JMLPanex.. and works fine - alsothe cache - TitaniumRSS e.g. is much faster now)

And now.. should I really say, what's above all is now possible with Area-Buttons? :) (and at first, as I had this idea, I was almost sleeping and thought, it's not senseful, but after awaking... *g* )

The only problem - you need sometimes different settings or special cpr's for some very special ideas... and this (and some much more lacks) wil be soon soluted by my new little project ;) (also for your new great Design, adwin!)

An JMHL will extend meanwhile JMLToday with new internal features - but I think that 5.4 is a perfect new update for Skinners, who have ideas for extraordinary skins - the notifications makes it possible :)

Only a little hint - and I think not far away from your idea, adwin, right?

But if you could make an example, what you concretely want to integrate - I would say - it's possibe to control it. The Area is already expanded with JMLGoto - youcan direct jump to another Plugin (and control it), as if it would be integrated.

Like I said...JMLToday 5.4 is much more for Skinners (and also Developers and Multi-Talents), than you think at the first glance :)

And if somebody want: I could also integrate the Sub-Panels from you into JMLLibrary (signed with your name of course) - so that you can easily switch between SubPanels without installing or uninstalling an cab for each of it - so a Skinner can concentrate on Skinning.
