I haven't had time to fully play with it, but I see one minor glitch. Being in the US, I have temperature displayed as fahrenheit degrees. Right now, it's 41f but the clock displays it as 41c (which would be 106 fahrenheit, a nice summer day). I didn't see anything to change the letter symbol. Is there a place to designate that? Or maybe just leave it off, like Goraps weather?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
I have a palm 800w and the numbers for the clock will not show
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
From what I found this is a square QVGA device (such as my emulator). You'll have to change the clock's font size (e.g. to 28) to get the right result. You may want to play around a bit with other font sizes as well.

And verify that Androkkid sizes the widget correctly when added to a page. On my emulator the widget's size was smaller than what it should be. Set it to 220 (width) by 100 (height).

The same info is on the WMD-Clock+ page on my site, on top, in color, with a text starting with "For QVGA users" ... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'll modify this in the next version. Any other issues?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'm planning on adding additional icons, like a missed calls icon, bluetooth (at least status, if possible, toggle), voicemail, ...). I'll just have to how all this can be layed out on the widget...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Can you post a QVGA screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
heres my usage and abusage of the new clock widget, losing the battery will allow for two banks of three icons either side of the clock on qvga.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Thanks. Looks nice. I was thinking of adding a transparent skin, but I see you already created one :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock+ 1.4 is available. A bluetooth icon (toggler) is added and the "C" for temperatures is removed.

The widget's background for now is not large enough to fit all icons. So, you'll have to make a choice or create a larger background. I'll add new (larger) backgrounds soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
installed and working nicely on qvga with wifi bluetooth and profile all on lhs.

will be donating but not sure if I could affor anything this side of xmas. could you extend your date to 1st jan?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
I tried for an hour or so today various ways of making a semi transparent background but nothing really worked.

Its a shame there inst an easier way for the transparency to be implemented as I also updated the bottom bar a week ago but at a pixel level there were some pink/black mixed pixels resulting in a pink edge to the whole thing. The kicker was it looked perfect and smoothe on screen at qvga res.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Remember that the top left pixels color is used to create transparency. Each pixel with the same color is removed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
There's a new skin, called "transparent", which is a bit larger, allowing the bluetooth icon to be added, e.g. to the left (you can also add it with the existing skins, setting the showBatteryPct=no).

To correctly support the larger background, a small modification was needed to the widget, resulting in v1.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
must have missed that, explains why your icons are a different colour lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
link to 1.5 is broken ;) only the number 5 results in a valid link
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Thanks. The link is corrected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surrealbliss:
Oh! A transparent background! This will greatly improve the look of it since I decided not to use any of the side icons, I simply want the clock with the weather.

wmdirk: sorry I took so long to get back, its been a busy couple of days. I will post screen shots from QVGA later today after I install this transparent theme and the newest version of the clock. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
You can easily change the size of the clock if you want, by using a larger font for the clock's digits (the digit background will size with the text size, the background itself won't, so may need to create a bigger one). You can also remove the icons by setting numLeftIcons=0 and numRightIcons=0 in the settings file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
A new widget is available: WMD-RegInfo. More info on my site. It's just a first version. Let me know if it needs tweaking...

Registry Widget

@wmdirk

I added the Reg Widget, and it worked fine. I then changed the skin to "default" in the settings file and stuff went south. After setting the settings file to load the default skin, I restarted Androkkid, where upon the widget dissapeared. When I tried to add it again Androkkid crashed, and continues to do so when I try to add the widget. I even reinstalled the widget folder in case I accidently goofed up the settings, but it still causes the crash. Here's the message I get when it crashes in case it helps:

Reg Widget crash

Hold the phone, I removed the standard digital clock widget, and the reg widget magically re-appeared! Some kind of incompatability?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The zip did not contained WMDAndrokkidLib.dll (in fact it did, but renamed to .dll_, because I use a shared version in the Androkkid folder - forgot to rename it back for the zip). You can rename the file WMDAndrokkidLib.dll_ to WMDAndrokkidLib.dll or download the new zip (v1.1).

Sorry about that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qkzoo:
wmd reg widget

Appears to be running fine now ;)

Two things I would really like to see in this one, and that is:

1. Customizable app to launch for each item, that would be defined in the settings file.

2. An option to auto rotate the items, i.e., every X seconds the widget automatically switches to the next item.

Thanks for all your great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Every time I try to add the WMD-Clock+ widget I get the error:

DrawWidget() Error

NullReferenceException

Can anyone explain why please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Do you have WMDAndrokkidLib in your widget folder? Have you changed the skin or any of the other settings in the settings.txt file?

Are you using the latest version (v1.6)?

Have you tried removing the widget, quit Androkkid, restart Androkkid and re-add the widget?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Yep, it's in Program Files\Androkkid\widgets\WMDClockPlus

Nope, not touched it. Yet.

Yes, tried all that.

I can't start Androkkid after adding WMD-Clock+ because the error message is all I repeatedly get - I have to delete the WMD-Clock+ folder so that I can start Androkkid :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] troll69:
At my HTC Kaiser it was the same, but it was easy to fix. Rename the unlock.txt_ to unlock.txt

In my case this was the problem, now it works.

Hope this helps,

Jürgen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Thanks for the suggestion Jürgen, but I've already done that :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
One other thought, because it was suggested to me & solved an issue I had. Stop Androkkid, go to the WMDClockPlus folder, copy the WMDAndrokkidlib file, go to WMDTasks (if you run that) & delete that same file, go to the main Androkkid folder & paste it there. Then restart Androkkid & see if that fixes it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Again, thanks for your help. Tried it, but it didn't work. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I've created a version of WMD-Clock+ that generates debugging information to try and find out what's the source of the problem. For now, I have no clue as to why the widget won't start.

you can download it via this link. The new version also contains support for G-Alarm (next to Klaxon), but this has not been fully tested yet.

To activate debug log creation: modify the "debugLevel" setting in the settings file to "debug" (instead of "none"). When Androkkid is started, you'll have to confirm that debugging is activated. At each restart, the debug log file is deleted. If you don't get the message, the problem occurs even before the widget is loaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Both were on my list of todo's for this widget, but I released it already with the limited functionality it has to see if it's successful enough to invest my time in. Since this is one I'm making for users out there, and not for my own use.

Reg Widget

Hopefully it pays off, I'll see about sending you and Simo a donation tomorrow :)

And off topic, but does anyone know of a scheduling program I could use to run a program at specific times or intervals? What I want is to be able to execute the Goraps Weather MortScript every 1-2 hours so the weather data is always current.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
I've been wondering what people think of "that other widget launcher"

I've never heard form anyone here commenting on the FEWidgets approach to this whole app & widget launcher interface for windows mobile, which recreates the feel of HTC's Hero "Sense UI" ?

Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547440

.

I'm not raising this to be controversial or competitive... it's more a case of, how do these two underlying apps differ?

I'm going to guess that Simo's is way faster, but I have no idea because I never tried FEWidgets. Has anyone here tried it? If so, how does it compare?

thank you

I am testing 1.7 and I am using G-Alarm as well. Its picking up the next alarm time, but when i click on the icon it does not open up the app.

Also sms is not showing anything as well and not opening when click on and the same for wifi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Where do you have g-alarm installed? Mine's on my storage card & that needed to be included in the address before that part of the widget would work on my phone. The same for any apps in a storage card install of Androkkid & widgets.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Have you resized the widget via Androkkid? You may have problems with the clickable areas when the widget is resized (other than the QVGA resize). For QVGA you should also make sure the widget's size is correct and 1/2nd of the VGA background size. The skins installed with the widget have a size of 440x200 (so 220x100 for QVGA devices).

If you need a different size, you need a larger or smaller background, depending on your needs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
On request of a donator, there's a new widget to toggle bluetooth on and off, based on BTOnOff.exe. It allows you to toggle bluetooth on and off and shows the current bluetooth status.

A simple WIFI toggle is on it's way too (after full G-Alarm integration in WMD-Clock).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Interesting note on the wifi toggle in ClockPlus. I'm using the g-alarm test version & the built in wifi toggle works, but never changes color to indicate the change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock+ v1.8 is available. It now supports G-Alarm and has an additional small battery icon (with an optional % text on top of the battery). The battery font and small battery font can now be configured via the settings.txt file.

PS: the new battery requires additional images, so make sure to copy them to the gfx folder.

PS2: the unlock.txt_ file has to be renamed to unlock.txt (unless you already have your own unlock file).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I've just made the latest version available. I haven't changed anything concerning WIFI and it functions fine on my device. (Which skin are you using?)

Does anyone else have a problem with the wifi toggle status?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The WIFI toggle widget is available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
I notice you are using AEWIFITrigger.exe in your multi-function widget. I am using it as a stand alone WIFI toggle, but there is no icon colour change associated with it as far as I am aware. Have you added something extra to your widget to monitor the WIFI status and use that to drive the icon colour change? If so, any chance you can release just the WIFI toggle (with icon colour change) as a stand alone widget?

Edit:

You must have read my mind as our posts crossed:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
The stand alone version displays the status OK on my o2 XDA Stellar (HTC Tytn II clone).

I think the confusion may be that it doesn't actually display WIFI on but WIFI on and connected. If WIFI is on and not connected, it indicates Off. I don't have a problem with that, but if it could be modified to have 3 states, with three icons, it would be even better: OFF - ON (not connected) - ON (connected):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
wmdirk

I have tried to add other SystemState but the widget does not seem to display. I know that if there is nothing there it will not and that is fine, but when i tried to display the CalendarNextAppointmentSubject it did not display anything. I uploaded the setting.txt file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
For now, only NextAppointment and CurrentAppointment are supported and should both show you the start/end time and the subject. Make sure to use the names exactly as in the settings.txt that's in the zip. I plan to add additional status information, possibility to add icons and attach an application to it, and auto-rotation for the items defined.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-WifiToggle v1.1 should do just that... There's now an extra icon (gray) for wifi power off.

WMD-RegInfo v1.2

WMD-RegInfo v1.2 is available.

New system states have been added, possibility to add an icon to an item and to link an executable to the icon, or just create an icon as an item and link an exe to it (I actually used that to create icons with contact pictures and link an iContact shortcut to them, resulting in a small contacts browser).

The download zip's settings.txt file contains mainly examples. So, you'll have to modify it to fit your own needs.

If anyone has any other ideas on how to use the widget, I'm interested!

It's time to nominate our widget-makers for a 2009 XDA Devvy Award

I have taken the lead to move along an idea that, turns out, someone posted about in March 2008: the idea of having recognition awards for outstanding achievement in app & rom & skin development at XDA. Now that Android has so rapidly matured to become a major competitive platform to Windows Mobile, iPhone, RIM, the mobile phone app culture has exploded. As such, it's time, I feel, to recognize great achievements here at XDA -- and not next year, but this year.

See this thread and add your nominations in several categories:

WMD-RegInfo 1.3 & WMD-Clock+ 1.8

wmdirk

I am using WMD-RegInfo 1.3 & WMD-Clock+ 1.8. Some issues that i see.

With WMD-RegInfo 1.3 & WMD-Clock+ 1.8 the right side widget click for me is in the middle of the widget. Left side lookes good.

With WMD-RegInfo 1.3 vocie mail it lookes to be picking up MMS number of unread.

Also if i want to put in a click on voice mail to call my voice mail number and following the icontact format, I do have icontact installed, it goes to detail but has nothing listed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Hi Lance.

The number of voice mails is shown, but the text displayed is wrong. I'll correct this.

I have no problems with the click areas in my QVGA emulator (I retried both RegInfo and Clock+). Did you resize the widget via Androkkid? Usually this is the cause of clickareas not responding where they should.

About your iContact issue: have you tried with a regular contact. The one I tried functioned ok and showed me the details. If iContact launches, the exe is correctly defined, maybe the parameter (the unique contact id) is not. They should be separated by a ";". E.g.

exe14=\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe;-details -2147483647

I did notice that the default font sizes may be to big for QVGA. In the emulator it shows all 3 lines with the title size set to 7 and the text size set to 6.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
how do you find the the unique contact id in icontacts. For now i made a short cute for the contact and linked that way.

I deleted the widget and readded then resized via androkkid to 300 by 60, it still in the middel. I can live with it, i know where to click to make it work on the right side.

This is working great it lets me remove so short cutes an have a clean page.

On WMD-Clock+ can you add away to have like 1 or 2 open link or short cuts like you have in WMD-RegInfo. I do not use my wifi that much and i would like to put a link to my navigation app around the clock. So if i click on it it will start nagivation app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
You can avoid resizing the widget by creating a larger background. If you need 300x60 for QVGA, you'd have to create one of 600x120, and set the size in Androkkid to 300x60, once the widget is added.

I create my contact shortcut in iContact by opening a contact and using the "Create shortcut" button at the bottom. This creates a shortcut in the "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Lastname, Firstname.lnk". If you look at the shortcut properties, you'll see what you need. Or you can add the shortcut link as the exe parameter for RegInfo.

wifi and active sync widget

Hi.....I'm very new here and have just started to play with Androkkid. Its awesome.......especially with the many add-ons. I'm searching for wifi and active sync widget, can someone please direct me to the relevant thread or site I can get my hands on.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
For wifi there are 2 options: create a shortcut (and modify the icon if you want) and use AEWifiTrigger.exe to turn wifi on and off. Or have a look at the WMD-Soft site (where you'll also find a link for AEWifiTrigger in the Other resources page) for the WMD-WifiToggle widget.

I haven't seen an ActiveSync widget yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home

this person had built some good widgets.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The next version will allow you to add custom icons to the clock (you can specifiy the icon path and exe).

It'll also contain a bug fix for the AM notation after midnight (bug found by Kraski).

If anyone else has battery leak issues since using WMD-Clock+, let me know.

And I'm trying to get rid of the message box for weather info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chriskris:
Thanks bro I'd checked out the wifi tongle as you'd mentioned, its a great little tool, and still looking for the activesync widget cos I cant see the sync should I choose not to show the windows bar. One more favor, ever come across any speaker tongle or widget? This again will not be seen should I opt out of the windows bar. Thanks again for your assistance. Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chriskris:
thanks for the assistance. had checked out for wifi but the site do not have activesyn and speaker. still sourcing around cos if I choose to opt out of windows bar, these will not be reflected. thanks again....cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Haven't seen one for Activesync. But there's a profile widget on the WMDSoft site that switches between speaker on, silent & vibrate. The color & image change depending on the setting. That's more than you'll get from the monochrome taskbar icon. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Chriskris's request for an Activesync widget is definitely a useful one. I'll second that & add my own request for one I haven't seen. I like the idea of running Androkkid without a visible taskbar. But the one toggle/indicator that seems to be missing is for the data connection. With the taskbar you can see the data connection state & access the toggle from that icon, if you want to change it. If the taskbar is hidden, so is the state of the data connection, unless I become really paranoid & periodically manually check it. :rolleyes: I'd just like that visibility so that the state of the data connection is as much my choice as some random app's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
Getting rid of the message box was request I was going to make. Thanks for being proactive on this.

I am really looking forward to the ability to add custom icons and exe functions.
