In previous discussions you had mentioned being able to change font size & color. I don't see that in the main settings.txt & there's no settings file in the default theme. Where do I make those changes for the default theme? That's the one I'm having issues because the font is displaying too small.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just copy the settings file from the transparent skin (it contains all possible settings and comment) to the default skin folder. Then modify whatever you want.

But I've just completed a new skin (called BlacknWhite; it's a "wide" skin 450x390, best way to install it is to remove the agenda and re-add it). I can make it, together with an updated version of the widget, available in 15 minutes. So, hang on and look for the updated version on my site (I'll call it v2.0RC2).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Well, having missed this till 8pm my time, I'll grab it in a couple of hours, when I get home from work. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hackbob:
I'm crying in joy.

The 2.0 RC it's really fantastic.

If I have to find a problem is that it's a bit slow when reloading/loading the appointments and task, but it's really not a problem (wait 2 sec )

Thx pal
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
One possible issue with 2.0. I have an uncompleted task for 11/21. Yesterday (11/19), both RCs showed no tasks for all slots, 6 slots shows days of the week, last slot shows dates. Today (11/20), the only change is that there are 5 day of the week slots, 2 dated slots, still no tasks showing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Can you modify the settings.txt file and set debugLog=yes. After restarting Androkkid it will log your appointments and tasks. Please verify if the task(s) show up in there. There's a part for getting appointments and getting tasks, and then rendering appointments and rendering tasks. Does your task appear in the getting part, and - if yes - it probably doesn't in the rendering part. If it doesn't show up in the getting part, it just isn't returned by Outlook. If it does, but doesn't appear in the rendering part, I need the specifics about the task: is it an ordinary tasks with start/end date, recurring task, ...? Maybe I can reproduce it be creating an exact same task type.

Thanks

hgWeather update

I've updated my weather widget. You should now be able to resize as any other widget. Also, the details screen should always be visible in full. I'm still having problems capturing the screen click outside the original widget. Meaning that when you have the widget as icon only, it can be hard to go back from the details screen; you have to remember where the icon was, and click in the left half of where that was.

If anyone has any ideas how to deal with this, let me know. Maybe I should draw an x in the background, so it's easier to see.

Hello

I work’s now. Still a little squeezed with the name of the town the 1st and 2nd day name. Thanks for the work, Great app. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
It shows in the debug log, but not in task view of WMDAgenda. It's a one time task, now tomorrow, in my time. It's after 8pm here, I've added TasksToday to that page. We'll see what shows up on both, after midnight.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Ok. My latest task shows up in everything on my phone that's task related except WMDAgenda & TasksToday. Any ideas?

Im getting a crc error unzipping the new hgWeather

have tried download and open with winzip and winrar and just opening with as an option too.

same error each time :(

little suggestion...

Hi, I was wondering of someone could be able to create some sms widget - just to display unread sms in box similar to for example nextAppointment widget...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
That was odd! If you use windows extract function, it will give you an option to skip one of the icon files, but otherwise extract. With 7zip which I used to zip it up, it gave the same crc error you got. I just uploaded a new version to my site, and am sorry for problems this has caused.:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:

Widgits not installing

I copied a bunch of widgits to the widgits folder, but the only one that shows up, besides the default widgits, is WMDAgenda. Neither of the two weather ones, or the Profile widgit show up when I click Add/Widgit. Any ideas why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
did you have androkkid running when you copied them? try restarting your device if you did

for best results when updating a widget its also best to remove it from the page before you shut down and update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I had an old version installed on the storage card, most recent version I installed on my device. I had copied all the widgits to the version on the storage card. Doh! Thanks for the reply, though. Is there a settings somewhere for WMDAgenda, to change the fonts and what not? Looks really squished on my screen, especially the weather icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Depending on the skin used, there's a settings.txt file in the skin's folder. If you don't have one for the skin you're using, copy the one from the transparent skin. All font settings are in there, and they're well commented.

You should make sure the widget's dimensions correspond with the background size (or 1/2 on QVGA). If not, you'll get bad result, both on graphics and on clickable areas, which won't be correct.

With v2.0 I'll provide all skins complete with settings and as seperate downloads.

WDMAgenda widget

Hi Wmdirk,

I tried WDMAgenda version 2RC2 but I was not able to install it on a HTC Touch HD. I got an error message. I've installed version 1.6 later and had no problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
hgWeather widget 0.3 by ajige has on two occasions follwoing a reboot disappeared, on androkkid starting there was an error referencing a widget but i cant recall the exact test right now.

has anyone else experienced this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Yes, I have noticed that too. :confused:I'm trying to figure out why. However, it might not be gone, just not being drawn correctly. If you hold on the desktop, you should see the outline of the widget. You can then either delete it or click on the upper half, to enter settings. It should then show correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
ajige

When in setting is there any other setting after language.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
I'm not quite sure what you mean?

There are 3 pages (tabbed) with settings, weather(i.e. city/language), layout, and connection. On the page for the language, there is no other setting below the language settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
That is what i was asking. I am not seeing the tabbed part of the setting.

All i see is weather.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Could you post a screen shot? I don't know why you can't see all of it, as it should be resolution independent? I use it on QVGA, what's your resolution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
Here is the pic of the only setting i see
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I hope to release 2.0 by the end of the week.

If you can send me the error, this could be helpfull to verify if this may still be an issue with 2.0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HANSXDA65:
In the details is mentioned a TargetInvocationException. I'm no sure it this is enough information for you. In the details is something mentioned with drawIcon. It's not clear for me how to get more information.

Next time I start Androkkid I get error 6. Afterwards the only possibility to avoid the error message is by deleting the page with the agenda widget.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hackbob:
you could substitute the wrong agenda plugin with a fully working one (for example 1.8 or other version that it's working on your ppc) instead of deleting the page with the agenda.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
New version at http://sites.google.com/site/ajiget/programs/filing-cabinet should take care of both issues I hope. The way to go back from the details screen is still not satisfactory, so if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. :)

Developing...

I used to write apps for Palm OS 'till a year or so ago. What tools do I need to develop for PPC, where do I get them and are they free? I'd love to contribute to Androkkid!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Really nice job, WMD. I want to take advantage of "blocked" (globally avail) functions like that. Also, is that CONTACTS icon part of Simo's pack, or from another source?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Great idea, burnlea, and really helpful to describe the apps & parameters!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
SIMO: Another request for "Lock Page" while composing the page

As several people have mentioned already, when I am setting up a page, and there are other pages in my collection of Androkkid icon screens, you have designed the app to enable me to drag an icon off of one page and onto an adjacent page.

That's really helpful. EXCEPT when I am fine-tuning the layout of a specific page. In this case, when I have all the objects I want on my page, and I am just swapping the arrangement of the icons and widget(s), then the "slide to next page" function creates a problem... because as I drag an icon close to the edge of the screen, to try to then "drop" it there, if I accidentally drag it too close to the edge of the screen, the app thinks I want to slide the icon to the adjacent page. and so the whole page slides.

So, it would be nice to have an edit-mode or "fine tune" mode which locks the page in place so you can arrange your icons. Then, once you exit settings, it should automatically release the lock.

Just a suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Yes for this i think a solution, that is useful, i want to lock all pages and unlock when needed.

For other your crash i dont understand what you mean, my english is not so good.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
(sorry that I post this in the wrong Androkkid thread !)

I will try Google translation again -- but please tell me in your reply if Google's automated translations are HELPFUL? or, are they really inaccurate?

(ENGLISH MESSAGE)

Okay, no problem. I will try to get the Androkkid error messages and post them later. But let me try to summarize and explain more simply, to see what you think.

(1) I set up a page with app links and icon graphic file targets.

(2) But I have many many icon files from several years, and I have them grouped in folders by types of application.

(3) If I re-organizer some of these icon files within my Windows Storage Card directory folders, I sometimes accidentally BREAK THE file-path to an icon file that Androkkid is using on one of my pages.

(4) I have noticed that if Androkkid finds a missing icon-file-path on a page (because I accidentally moved some icons from one Windows folder to another), if I try to load that page in Androkkid, the androkkid application crashes.

My theory is that SOMETIMES when a source icon file, or application file, is moved from the location that Androkkid has registered in its settings file, the next time Androkkid opens to that page, the application crashes ---- instead of showing the page with missing icons, or error message popup that (for example) "Androkkid cannot find the application 'ThumbCal'" .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Ok i test it, but the google translate is a little imprecise with a conversion of a long phrase.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Thanks quicksite.

There is something interesting that can be done with Androkkid that I haven't seen anyone else do yet and that is to use 'icons' purely as graphics with no shortcut associated. They can be stretched to any shape and used as labels as in the 'Music' heading in the attached image for example.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I added links to my site to widgets page of WMDSoft and Ajige.

Hi @ all!

I am looking for 3 Widgets like the BlueTooth Toggle which indicates the BT state.

1. For Switching Radio on and off

2. For Switching WiFi on and off

3. For Switching GPRS on and off

I was searching for a long time but could not found anything.

Are there any widgets to do this?

Thx, Jürgen

PS: Sry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
not so far no
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
There is a bluetooth widget, but on my Tilt2 it just stopped working after awhile. Nothing I tried would get it working again. So, I made a special link called CommManager.lnk with my text editor. The content is 39#"\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe" . I placed the file in my Androkkid Special Links folder & created a shortcut to it. I now have one link to HTC's Comm Manager (AT&T calls it the Wireless Manager :confused: ), with the Comm Manager icon & all the related functions together instead of filling screen space with related function icons. :rolleyes: It is one extra step, but that's not a big deal for me compared to the screen real estate savings by only needing one icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Any changes from RC2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Do a better search next time

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4749085&postcount=28
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
There's a few changes, mainly fixes and optimization. RC2 had issues with tasks without start date (as created by default by e.g. Thumbcal) and multiday appointments and tasks. The full feature list and a complete overview of all settings can be found on my site.

I'm working on v2.0 for Tasks as well. In case you prefer managing and displaying tasks and appointments seperately, turn off tasks in WMD-Agenda and add WMD-Tasks as soon as it's available :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Tasks 2.0 is now available as well. It's based on WMD-Agenda (sharing many of the settings and skins), but only shows days with actual tasks, allowing you to look further ahead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] troll69:
I´ve already installed the BlueTooth Widget !!!!!

I am searching for the same functionally for:

RADIO ON/OFF

WIFI ON/OFF and

GPRS or DATA ON/OFF

and, if possible as Widget for Androkkid like the BTWidget ;-)

I´ve installed other solutions, but the icon do not show the state.

Best regards,

troll69
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
agree its the all important status of the connection which is missing from any of the solutions available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Thanks, it's working great!:)

But is it possible to not have the shadow effect on the font (or at least make it an option) in this and WMDAgenda? On my QVGA phone it makes the text almost unreadable.

Also I'm still getting the Error 6 on WMDAgenda after trying to use it without tasks. I don't quite understand why WMDTasks works fine but not WMDAgenda, which the WMDTasks is based on.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Did you try my suggestion? It won't show the state of the connection onscreen all the time, but it lets you get to all the things you want & HTC's sliding switches let you know if they're on or off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
It works great.

Just a suggestion for your download. You include the skin "blue" on the Agenda download, but on your settings file you set it to "transparent." For noob (or me who was trying to do a quick start without updating the settings) this causes Androkkid to crash. So my suggestion would be to make them match.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The skin in the download has been fixed. The latest version now is WMD-Agenda 2.1. Font shadow is now optional (by request of ajige), a minor bug with displaying "no appointments" in a particular case has been fixed and there's been a fix for reading settings (which hopefully avoids the "error 6").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Font shadow is now an option in WMD-Tasks (v2.1) as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
2.1 is working w/o Error 6 :). But I still get the error if I use the skin defaultSmall.

The text is much more readable without the shadow. Thanks! But the update time and weekday is still too small.

As for tasks (both widgets), if they don't have a start day, but a due date in the future, they show up under today's date. They should only show under the due date; if I have a task I do every Friday, I don't have a start date, but of course I don't really want to see it until it's Friday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The duedate issue is resolved in WMD-Agenda 2.2 and WMD-Tasks 2.2.

Have you tried to modify the font size for the update time and weekday? All settings are described on the WMD-Agenda page on the site. For the font settings you'll have to take a look at the skin settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
@wmdirk

Is the delete appointment able to be hidden via the settings in wmd-agenda 2.2 or can it be made to be in 2.3 please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
That was already in 2.1. It's in settings.txt. I'd have to look to tell you where & it's late enough that I'll skip that one till tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Both Agenda & Tasks 2.1 are working fine, here. Any chance of a BlacknWhiteSmall for WMD-Tasks? I like BlacknWhite for WMD-Agenda, but the same sized theme for both has them overlapping.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
It's the allowDeleteAppointment parameter (there's an allowDeleteTask and allowCompleteTask as well). The full list of settings can be found in the table on the site (http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home/wmdagenda).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just change the background size (you can even use MSPaint for this). The widget will adapt when started. Just be sure to remove the widget and re-add it to automatically take the new size settings.

Or try the one in attachment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
There's a new skin for WMD-Agenda: "coquette".

(Is anyone else making skins out there? If you do and you would like to have them published, just let me know. I'll add them to my site)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
thanks for the reply wmdirk and I am really liking the icons in your new skin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] troll69:
Hi, i´ve a shortcut to G-Profile on my first page, but this isn´t what i want.

The BlueTooth Toogle Widget works fine and it shows me the state.

See my screenshot attached to this post.

The Wifi Button is the AEWifiTrigger and the Phone Button is VJVojubilis. They works also fine but they don´t show the state of the phone.

My question was is there a widget for this functions which also show me the state?

Best regards,

troll69
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I never did get g-profile to work. The bluetooth widget just suddenly stopped working & nothing I tried would change that, even deleting it from the page, deleting the widget, replacing the widget, & reselecting it. So, at least for now, I'm sticking with my solution. Unfortunately, I can't suggest a solution for your needs. Right now, the other widgets you're looking for don't exist. I don't know if anyone is working on them, but someone will, eventually. In the meantime, we get to be creative. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
Thanks, I will check this out! As far as skins/icons, what are you guys using to create these (as far as software)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
Its time to give a little back

Attached are thumbs and zips for some modifications I have done for my QVGA device. Technically they fall under the umbrella of skinning so I may repost on the other thread.

First is my accidental modification of goraps weather widget. I was attempting to create a transparent background and visible size text for qvga devices and ended up with a nice homescreen single day widget

Secondly I have skinned the new coquette skin for wmd agenda again optimised for my qvga device with a transparent background and the droidsans font which you must have installed.

Obviously if the authors want to include these on their own sites they are very welcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Any chace of a WVGA version? ;)

Already using it on my Tilt2. Nice work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Here's a screenshot of WMD-Agenda with the Coquette skin & WMD-Tasks with a BlacknWhiteSmall skin. And I'm attaching the skin archive. Enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajige:
Thanks, it's working great now!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just a suggestion: copy the icons from WMD-Agenda to WMD-Tasks. Then you'll have the same look for both.

When I have a little more time, I'll create different backgrounds in different size and some more icons, and host them on my site. You can start combining backgrounds and icon to create your own skin...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
This one's for widget developers: a couple of days ago I put WMD-AndrokkidLib available on my site. It's a collection of classes I created and used to create WMD-Agenda and WMD-Tasks. I've just made a new version available for download.

If there are developers interested in creating Androkkid widgets and using the lib, let me know. For now there's not really any documentation available (apart from what's mentioned on the site), but if there's an interest, I'll give priority to creating the documentation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
The icons would have been the same if I'd used the same themes, but you had suggested I could resize BlacknWhite. Since I didn't have that permission from Coquette's author, I didn't want to take the liberty -- at least till I asked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
That's great! I don't think I HAVE ever seen that done... and I am ALL FOR unconventional thinking to improve the user experience and the accuracy of a quick glance at a screen.
