Here are some of my screenshots to add to the Androkkid library

Note: This is on an old QVGA device: the T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald).

1. You can click-through the whole 20-slide screenshot series here:

2. Or watch it as a slideshow here.

And here are a few sample shots:

** Note: Despite my high value placed on visual communication and function differentiation, I nevertheless have mixed & matched my icons -- and have not cared about their mismatches in style sometimes... caring more than anything: Does the visual make it bullet-proof clear what the function is under that icon?

. . .

. . .

great work to you widget makers! y'all are going to make this whole platform fly -- LONG BEFORE microsoft gets their act together to compete against the Android open-source / add-on proposition.

I gotta thank that silly Italian kid too. Without his goofing off at his real job writing .net code, we'd never be getting these functions and framework. I am going to start up an annual innovation award for XDA developers; i think it shall be called "the Simo".

Skins you find on my site can be used however you want. Combine backgrounds and images to create a layout that suites you best :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
hello wmdirk, on ur site u said that with Icontact we can create a shortcut to any contact and then call the contact's mobile, work or home phone, or to send an sms or e-mail on the androkkid page. How can i do that^please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
It was late when I saw the other post & it looked like it was a different author. Rereading, I see it was a font offered for use in Coquette. So, tonight, I'll try "LilCoquette". :) I jjust don't like stepping on toes unnecessarily. :p

And any skin mods I post here, you're welcome to post on WMDSoft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
When you select a contact in iContact, you have a number of buttons at the bottom of the screen. The last one is "Create shortcut". This will create a shortcut to the iContact screen you're in. When you put the shortcut on an Androkkid page and click it, you'll see the contact information with phone numbers, and "sms" next to the phone number. Clicking on the phone number will initiate a call, clicking on "sms" will launch the SMS application with the contact already filled in as recipient.

Note: the shortcut is created in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs with the contact's lastname, firstname. In Androkkid you can then change the icon by replacing it by a picture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Nice idea. And I'm thinking that, with the right file manager, those could be moved to their own memory card folder so it'd be easier to maintain in case of disaster.

WMD agenda/tasks are looking very nice.

New request for WMD Tasks:

* showUndatedTasks=<yes|no> - I have a bunch of undated tasks that in the past were my very low priority list of things to do. I don't want them to show on my androkkid/"today" screen. WMDTasks seems to be showing these undated tasks rather than more important tasks with due date in the next few days. Or maybe we just need a couple sort options...

*sortOrderOne=<priority|duedate>

*sortOrderTwo=<priority|duedate>

I know, I should get some of these tasks off my list so I don't need a complex way to sort them ;-)

I modified the coquette background to height off 300, so I can nicely get wmd-agenda and wmd-tasks on one QVGA screen using that skin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
wmdirk,

In some of your spare time :)

Would it be hard to create a widget that displays a text string from the registry with once per sec or so refresh? There is a status line mortscript that shows misc information pulled from various registry settings. And I have something similar (from my rltoday days) to show info like missed call name/number, next appt, or if battery is low, or current song playing in mortplayer, etc...

Seems like it would be pretty easy compared to everything you have going with agenda/tasks :) I've been wanting to attempt this myself but had trouble building with the SharpDevelop tool (can't find the compactframework files) and I haven't had time to figure it out. Now it shows...

"This project requires .NET Compact Framework v3.5, which is not installed on this machine."

But I had a more detailed error last time I tried it which pointed to some missing file.

Another similar idea would be to use the registry value to pick an image/icon to display. This could make a reusable/generic bluetooth/wifi indicator icon widget. If registry values are 0,1,2, the "skin" would just have file images named 0.png, 1.png,2.png which would be displayed.

Anyway..... Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Here's LilCoquette for WMD-Tasks & a screenshot. I removed a couple of unneeded appointment settings in settings text. The background is the only thing that changed in the graphics & that was via a little math, then rescaling in Gimp for Windows.

That looks awesome on a high res display!!! I need a new phone :)

Radar Script

Here is a MortScript I put together that downloads and displays an animated radar from Accuweather. It's extremely rough around the edges (no real error handling), but it works. This is actually a dumbed down version of the Goraps mortscript. I created this to have a radar accompany Goraps weather widgit.

All you need to do to use it is change three variables in the script:

"viewer" - Set this to your image viewer, or just leave it as is for "Pictures and Videos"

"radarlink" - Set this to the address where the image you want to download resides.

"imagefile" - Set this to the destination and filename of the downloaded image. By default it just drops an image file in the root of your storage card.

Here's what it does:

1. Connect to internet.

2. Download a picture file and save to card.

3. Open a photo viewer and display picture.

"Pictures and Videos" displays animated gifs so you can have it download an animated radar - yay!

Feel free to improve it, my MortScripting stinks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] troll69:
Hi,

are there any news about GorapsWeather and QVGA Resolution??

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Do you know where in the registry the information is located? What do I need to install to try it out?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I created a small calculator widget, which actually serves as an example for the WMDAndrokkidLib for developers. The widget contains the lib (which is also used by WMD-Tasks and can be put in the Androkkid main folder (where the exe is located) to be shared by these applications).

It's rather basic and I haven't really put much work in the graphics yet, but if you're interested, you can find it on my site.

The next one will be WMD-Clock+ :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
This is the mortscript I was referring to (it has gotten rather large it looks like)...

-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574557

-Looks like it stores the info in HKCU/Software/My_Utilities

Some mortscripts used the cellular carrier to display info like this...

-RegWriteString ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Ril","CarrierName", status)

Having a setting for the registry location to read the string from would be nice :)

-RegEntryToRead=HKCU\Software\My_Utilities

-RegEntryToRead=HKCU\Software\myscripts\status

-RegEntryToRead=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ril\CarrierName

Here is a simplified and UNTESTED script along the lines of what I'd like to do...

While (1)
missedcalls=RegRead("HKCU", "\System\State\Phone\", "Missed Call Count")
If (missedcalls>0)
caller=RegRead("HKLM", "\System\State\Phone\", "Last Incoming Caller Name")
statusline="Missed Call from " & caller
Else
nextappt=regRead ("HKCU","System\State\Appointments\HomeScreen","Subject")
nextappttime="1:00" ### there is a subroutine for this
statusline="Next appt at " & nextappttime &" - " mextappt
Endif
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\myscripts\", "status", statusline)

Sleep (1000)
EndWhile

The widget ini file would identify the registry to read from...

RegEntryToRead=HKCU\Software\myscripts\status

Then the widget would just monitor the registry and show the text string

:)

wmdirk -

For the WMD adgenda, did you put any sort of coding so that a user can figure out what version they are running? I lost track of which version I am running (I am not sure if I am running v2.1 or v2.2).

If not, can I suggest this for future updates (it works well right now, so I am not sure if you are planning future updates or not). Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Thanks. I had a Treo Pro before I got the Tilt2. Everything will pretty much scale down, but they might still be large enough that both might not comfortably fit on a lower resolution screen page. Being "a little more mature" than some here, my eyes appreciate the larger screen. :rolleyes:

Someone help! I downloaded and installed WMDAgenda, and then proceeded to install GORAPS weather. I did everything that the forum said to do regarding changing the two parameters, and I get an error that freezes my system. Details are huge! So what am I doing wrong? I would love to make this work! I am using WM5 on an iPaq HX2400 series PDA. Removing GORAPS fixes it, so I know thats the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I am not an expert, but like yourself, I went through this. Did you install Mortscript and did you click on the GorapsWeatherr.mscr file in file explorer? You need to click on it for it to write to your registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I finally found some time to try this widget. Let me say that it works well. What I like the most is that your widget allows me to have multiple copies up and each having a different city; that was something I really wanted. Your web site says you are working on improvements; I will be looking forward to those. Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
chumpster

I am having the same problem. Installed the mortscript and click on the file in explorer and it does nothing ie i get no feed back to know if it worked. when i add the widget it crashes. any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
ajige

I tried it and i still do not see the other tabs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Nice. The only two fixes I can see as being needed are larger numbering in the calculation window & the blue symbols are faint -- they could use a darker coloring.

After everything else, keep 'em coming.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
Only thing I can tell you is that if you check your registry, you should find

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Goraps/GorapsWeather

All I can tell you is that when I click (or double click) on the file, I did not get any feedback either. But when I check my registry later, I saw the register change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The intention was to put the version number on the init screen. I somehow forgot this and it still displays v2.0 (the other versions were mainly fixes and in my haste to release them, I forgot to get the version right). If you're not sure, you can allways download the latest zip and compare the dates of the .dll file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'm not planning any updates now, unless there's a bug or a feature that might be usefull to most people. So, I guess you should get to work and cleanup your tasks :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
I did change the GorapsWeather.mscr file, the location and F or C. As for this 'mortscript', I am going to download and install this morning. I don't know what it is, but want to try everything!

Edit - can't seem to download it. Do I need it to change the mscr file? I already changed it through notepad on my laptop before installing to iPaq.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scalar1111:
I love the WMD-Agenda, but how can i get a specific size of background. I have qvga and my wishsize is 220 * 200 px but any try to get this size failed. Can anyone explain me step for step how i get it?

Sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Try creating a background image of size 440 x 400. Save it in the desired skin folder. Make sure the wmd-agenda settings.ini has the proper skin directory defined (with the 440x400).

Delete any existing wmd-agendas you have, and then add a new wmd-agenda widget.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scalar1111:
Thank u for the quick answer. Now its ok :o).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
thx wmdirk for icontacts ;) . now i want to know why my contact picture doesn't work lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Have you tried editing the Androkkid shortcut to the contact and changed the icon to your contacts picture?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
yes but the default prog icon appear...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Are you able to change the icon for other items on an Androkkid page? I don't see why it wouldn't work. I had no problem with it. You do need to set your icon to the actual picture, not the iContact shortcut.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
What I propose is to make a widget, for which you can define a number of registry keys/value you want to be able to display, via a settings file. Each time you click e.g. on an arrow, the next key/value content will be displayed, with a refresh rate of 1 second (or rather, configurable via the settings file).

Is that what you're looking for?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
yes all working fine with other? May be i must decrease pic's size.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itesla:
Sounds great, hopefully others find it useful :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
wmdirk reg widgit

@wmdirk Perhaps also a setting for each item to define what happens if it is clicked, i.e., define a shortcut for each item in settings? I think that would make the possibilities of this thing endless!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Ok. I'll look at this in a couple of days (still working on the clock).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scalar1111:
Wow, looks very nice!

@ Segadc,

Widgets aren't necessary for SMS, EMail or Voice Mail, they can all be done with 'Shortcuts'. Let me know if you need help in setting up one of these type of shortcuts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Looks great & it appears to be functioning alright. I say "appears" because I haven't figured out the right code for Baltimore. Your city works great, though. :p A little googling turned up to a city code database downloadable from here, which I'll dl when I get home. It's at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487090 .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
So these shortcuts can display the number of emails, sms etc.?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
NAM|US|MD|Baltimore

That is the code for Baltimore. Hope you like it.

You can get codes by going to the accuweather mobile site and searching you city. Then you will see the code in the URL. somthing like this /NAM/US/MD/Baltimore just replace the "/" with "|"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Yes. Simo has that built in!

Wow ok then yeah I might need help.:p

You don't happen to have a WIFI widget in the pipeline?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Thanks. And I mostly do like it. But I'm using a Treo Pro (320x320) &, to gain some screen real estate, I run realVGA at 96dpi. The top right side info is small enough that it's unreadable. I'll attach a screenshot so you can see what I mean. Any chance of a slightly larger version? And, yes, with a readable version, it will get its own page. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fherfort:
WiFi widget to come

I will have one very soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Just an update. I restored my screen to the "normal" (theirs, not mine) 128dpi. The weather info in the upper right section of the widget was then readable, but went slightly off the right side. On the other hand, several of my apps that look & work perfectly at 96dpi don't at 128dpi. Either less usability as parts of the display go off screen or lack scrolling needed for the square screen or just plain ugly. So, it's back to 96dpi & hoping you'll make an alternate larger version. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
I will try to make you a larger one later tonight. Any preference as to a new size.

Maybe something like 400 x 400.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
What size is it now? My screen resolution (either at 128dpi or 96dpi) is 320x320. As you can tell from my screenshot, the present size leaves plenty of room on both sides at 96dpi. I'm still in favor of the wide rectangle. It leaves room for a lower row of icons for more detailed weather & news apps. But what you did was exactly what I was hoping for with an on screen, readily accessible display of the basics. Can you tell I'm a TouchFlo weather app fan? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
Hi goraps im having a problem with step 5

5) Execute the click on the GorapsWeather.mscr in a file explorer to initialize the values. If you don't do this and add the widget it will crash Androkkid.

When I double tap in total commander nothing happens, if i hold and select open again nothing happens?

When I then restart androkkid and add the widget I get ann error suggesting to me it hasnt run

*EDIT now working had nodata blocking internet connection *

I now howver want to report that this is not displying properly on my qvga kaiser - see below

WMD-Clock+ v1.0 is available. Please make sure to read the information on the page before installing the widget.

For QVGA users: you 'll have to wait a bit longer... Sorry for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
noooooo........ :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
;( I dont wanna wait longer. *cries*

ok ok... I'll get over it. Anyways... the real reason I came here is to report a bug I'm experiencing with WMD Profile. I've replaced the images with new ones and whenever I click it to change the profile setting I can still see remnants of the other icons appearing through the current one. I can probably get a screen shot if you need one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I know. It's the way the images are drawn. I was already planning on changing that and add clickable zones to allow you to go to the previous and next profile, instead of having to click twice in some cases.

A little patience please...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I installed it, started Androkkid, tried adding it to a page & Androkkid crashed. The only things I changed in settings were the alarm link (I use g-alarm.) & the skin (Tilt 2 is not qvga). Since you're using Goraps weather for the display & the original widget needed a script activated before it could be added without crashing Androkkid, is there a script that's missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Seems the clock DDL is a little older than the latest version (it was getting quite late yesterday; I tried to be careful this time, but it seems I keep making the same mistakes - I need sleep!). I've posted a new version on the site (v1.2). I hope this solves it!

I hope you read the info on the site: for now, only Klaxon is supported for alarms (I need to be able to access alarm info to display it). But even then, it shouldn't crash; the alarm icon just shouldn't appear. Same for Goraps, if it isn't installed, weather info is not displayed, and the widget shouldn't crash.

And both skins installed should be good for vga. Qvga is not yet supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
no worries... im patient... i was just unsure if you knew about that issue.

I'm happy its not another one of those things that only happens to me. ;)

Keep up the good work on awesome widgets...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Profile v1.1

WMD-Profile v1.1 is available. In fact, there are now 2 versions: one with two click areas to go to the next/previous profile and the version which just goes forward (if you need a small version, it may be difficult to click in the right area). More info on the site.

The widget's status will now also be modified when the profile is changed via another application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock v1.3 is ready for download and now supports QVGA. I hope someone will try it out and let me know if it looks and functions ok. (I only have an emulator to test it.)

The version is suited for VGA as well, and has as added feature that the battery charge percentage is now optional (for more info, visit the WMD-Clock+ page).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
installed and testing, initial view looks good with exception of the degree symbol which appears as a colon sort of thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
had time to take a second look, am playing with fonts sizes now to try and correct degree symbol.

if like me you want to put your missed calls icon over the top of the widget dont forget you will need to re add it otherwise it will drop behind the clock.

Can now confirm that a font size of 8 corrects and graphical font glitches on my qvga device
