Hi wmdirk,

I tried it out, but ran into a couple bugs:

- I could not get the weather panel to work in this new version. I deleted my previous version of WMD-AndrokkidLib and used the one that came with the wmd-clockv20-beta. It could be something I am doing wrong, but I could not get it to work.

- I am able to put custom icons on the left side. But when I place custom icons on the right side, the icons are too far to the right so that it is outside of the widget.

- The last thing I notice is that 12:xx am is showing up as 00:xx am. I am not sure if this was in version 1.6 or not (I have not upgraded since version 1.6).

I know this is a beta so I am more than happy to be a beta tester.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-RegInfo v1.4 is available. The click area should be corrected (thanks to Simo for additional info), as well as the text for unread voice mail. And I've added a new skin, specifically for contact images only.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'll look at this tomorrow. Do you use a standard skin (I've only tested with the "colors" skin for the beta version).

WMD-RegInfo v1.4

wmdirk

WMD-RegInfo v1.4

I 1st deleted WMD-RegInfo v1.3 and then I added WMD-RegInfo v1.4. I tried to use it just right out with now changes to the setting, nothing shows up. It also make the bottom task bar for androkkid vanish but when i move the a new page it shows back up. Going back to 1.3

Clock bata. I was able to add cutom on the left and it looks to be working but covers the weather name. When adding a 2nd one on the right the icon is just a sliver but clinking on it works. When clicking on weather i do not see where i can update, i saw it one time but now its gone and has not come back. Also i have make the text for weather 5 but i still can not see the name of city.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just a hint, instead of deleting the previous version, just rename it. This way you have an easy fallback (and I know I should be more carefull to not release widgets with errors :rolleyes:). What you could try is to start Androkkid, remove the widget, then restart Androkkid and re-add the widget. In some cases Androkkid seems to get confused when adding/deleting widgets, and usually this resolves it.

I've tested this with the default skin and contacts skin on both QVGA and VGA. I just installed the zip itself to verify it doesn't contain errors, but everything continues to function, even after resizing the widget. Both on VGA and QVGA.

To help me find out what's going on, could you activate the debug logging by setting the debugLevel=debug in the settings file?

The widget needs a new version of the WMD-AndrokkidLib. If you previously copied it to a shared location, you should overwrite it with the newer version (again, rename the existing one, just in case you need a fallback).

There's no unlock file in the zip. I've put it on the widget's page as a seperate download (but you've got your own unlock file, so no issues for you here).

The icons are resized to a width of 48 pixels (VGA). The height is scaled accordingly. Maybe the scaling is not correct. A screenshot might help here.

The icons on the right were untested, as was QVGA. I hope to resolve these issues today.

By the way, thanks for testing!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock+ v2.0-beta2 is available and should address the issues reported. Hopefully someone still has the courage to try it out...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
WMD-RegInfo 1.4
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
That's a relief!

As I mentioned before, there's an unlock file that can be downloaded from the widget's page. I've not added it to the zip, to avoid the risk over overriding already installed unlock files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I guess someone is already trying it out. But I will try it out too and let you know. By the way, I don't think I mentioned it, but I am using a VGA display.

Thanks for the quick update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
The update screen is not looking too good for qvga, the update button is not clickable either.

Is there a way to use the custom icons to display the missed call info btw?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Androkkid uses scaling for lower resolutions. I'm not aware of a better solution. Maybe Simo can give some advice?

For the missed calls, I was planning on adding an icon. Custom icons won't show you the number of missed calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
preferred the old style update screen myself anyway.......

didnt think that we would be able to, thanks again as always

WMD-Clock+ v2.0-beta3

WMD-Clock+ v2.0-beta3 is available. Most important changes (follow the link for the complete information):

- weather update no longer blocking

- settings have been split up in general settings and skin settings

- new Hero skin (and the default skin installed)

- G-Alarm alarm type 0 support (Bill, please let me know if it functions correctly)

- the WIFI widget has an additional state (since beta 2): off, not connected (new) and connected

Weather is still displayed in a panel, for the next beta version I'll try to make that optional with the message box as alternative.

Please let me know in case of issues or problems...

Hello. Loving this widget.

So fair when using Hero skin, the weather does not show up at the bottom of the clock, it works on Transparent. I changed the size and color for Hero weather but it still does not show.

The update button works for weather.

Request for a widget

Can you make a widget that is kind of like a post note. My wife works in a hospital and on different units and has a different number each time. What i would like is a note where i can put the a phone number and then can click on it and it calls the number. The number would change and i would want to delete the old and put in the new.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
This is on QVGA? Is it the weather text that doesn't appear?

Currently I'm preparing a 1st release candidate. Hope to have the final version soon.

I actually tried making such a widget a while back. I then tried using the pen to write on screen, but that isn't possible with Androkkid, since the widget is only update a couple of times per second. You'd have to tap the screen to connect dots, and that didn't function really well.

So, the only alternative is using the keyboard, or creating one in the widget. I haven't look further into this, but a post-it widget is still somewhere in the back of my mind. I'm not sure if other people are interested in such a widget. I spend a lot of time building and improving them, but only a handfull of people actually requested an unlock file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
Clock bata 3

It's the weather text that doesn't appear, with the Hero skin. Transparent works fine. Those are the only two that i have tried.

Post Note

If you can come up with something on a post note, i will donate some more money.add
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I have no problem (QVGA or VGA) with the default font sizes (on QVGA part of the text is behind the icons on the left and right with the default font size, but the text is displayed).

Thanks for the offer, but you already donated. For now, maybe you could have a look at MyNote, and create a shortcut for it in Androkkid (I just it all the time to remember all the stuff I still have to do for the widgets :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
Thinks, i like mynote. always willing to help, if you need a beer, i know how it is with 3 kids.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock+ v2.0 is feature complete. The 1st release candidate is available for download. You can find it in my site's news...

Some advice for QVGA users: you should probably decrease the clock font size from 40 to 25. The date, weather and panel font may give a better result as well when made slightly smaller. The font settings are located in the skinSettings.txt file located in the \gfx\<skin> folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:

Clock+ v2.0

wmdirk

Hello

Testing now with transparent. so far so good. I like the new weather panel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I have been busy the last 2 days, and I have not had a chance to post my comments on the beta3. It works great, and thank you for removing the weather update blocking - it makes it feel like it is multitasking since it is updating while you can be working on another screen.

I will give RC1 a try. Just out of curiosity, other than the 3 panel weather display is there other changes between RC1 and beta3?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I had the same problem where the weather text does not appear. One possible solution is to create a bigger background.png file so that all of the information can be displayed.

An easier solution is to decrease the Date Text font size or the Clock Text font size. Since I have "old" eyes, I increased the date text font size and the weather text font size, but decrease the clock font size to accommodate.

At the recommendation of wmdirk's website, I downloaded mynote and have used it for the last 3 weeks. I didn't think I would like it, but use it almost everyday now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
1) Alarm times over 24 hours away still show only the time.

2) Tilt 2, Goraps weather displayed below ClockPlus, Hero theme. Tapping "update" on the ClockPlus popup panel updates Goraps consistently, but mostly not for ClockPlus.

3) The screenshot on the website shows the Hero theme time taking more vertical space than it does on my phone, with the date in the transparent area above the flipclock & the city, temp & "feels like" temp in the transparent area below the the background. On my Tilt 2, the weather temps are on the background. Which looks fine, just not as apparently designed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just some cleanup. The panels are the most important modifications. And the messagebox alternative for panels. And some minor changes to better support skinning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
That's still a todo, I didn't get to that yesterday...

Something I forgot is to use the device's date format for the weather forecast (now it's dd/MM), and an icon for missed calls.

Since the widget no longer waits for Goraps to finish updating, it gives the impression that the update isn't applied (I could make waiting for the update optional). And, once the weather update has finished, it may take up to 30s before it's applied (I'll see if I can decrease that, but I'd like to avoid to constantly have to check if weather was updated). Anyway, you should see a switch to the current weather situation some point after a successful update. Could you verify this?

The screenshorts are VGA. If I'm not mistaking, you're using WVGA. You may have to increase the font size (where QVGA users need to decrease the font size) to get the effect of text below the widget. The PureHero theme is meant to show the text on the widget background (and that's why it has a wider background as well).

The vertical space shouldn't be different though. Could you post a screenshot?

Thanks to all testers and for the patience to get things right :rolleyes:...

And have a great party tonight!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I'm used to seeing Goraps finish updating, then waiting up to maybe 10 seconds (probably less, didn't time it) before ClockPlus updates. Up through all the release versions, there would consistently be an update. I didn't try 2.0 betas 1 & 2, so I can't verify if this was an issue prior to beta 3. But there are times when Goraps would update & there would be no change for ClockPlus for periods over 5 minutes. Late last night, that was consistent. This morning, both updated pretty much instantaneously. I'd think it was a possible network issue, except I'd expect ClockPlus to grab it's data from the same file on the phone as Goraps for efficiency.

Will do.

Looking forward to it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chumpster:
I did not test this extensively, but in beta 3, Clock+ always seemed to update the weather within 15 seconds after I updated Goraps.

I just got RC1, so I am not sure how it works yet. It does not sound like that should have changed.

Happy New Years
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Happy New Year!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Thanks for the screenshot.

The spacing doesn't look that different from my own. I'll see if I can put them a bit wider apart for the next version.

If you change the clock font size, the weather info will appear below the background or a bit lower than it is now (it'll probably also make the weather icon a bit lower). Whatever you prefer. There's no harm in experimenting with the font sizes...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Actually, I like it just the way it is. :D But the screenshot I saw for beta 3 had the temperature info below the black box (or maybe it was too late at night :p). So, I figured communicating any differences might help fix something, in case that was necessary.

One other issue, but with Reginfo. On my phone, the temperature info is still only showing the "feels like" temperature, not the real temp. Is this something that alternates & the 3 second rotation doesn't allow enough time for both to display? Or is there a change in my settings that I need to make to show both? This has been consistent through all versions I've tried (1.4 in use now).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
RegInfo shows (amonst other) just the content of a registry key. What I've put into the settings file in the zip are mainly examples. The weather info is such an example. To show more or other weather info, you can add additional registry keys (you can also deactivate the rotation, or set a different delay time).

For Goraps weather, you could use following keys (copy/paste the line in the settings.txt file (without the leading "- " and trailing comment in "(...)"), and modify the numInfoItems to correspond to the number of items):

- Weather, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page2, Desc (current weather description)

- Current temp, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page2, CurrentTemp2 (current temperature)

- Current temp, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page2, TodayTemps (today's hi/lo)

- Today's forecast, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page3, Desc (today's forecast description)

- Today's temps, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page3, Temps (today's temperature)

- Sun, HKLM\Software\Goraps\GorapsWeather\Page3, Other (sunrise, sunset)

Note: it's not possible to concatenate multiple registry keys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
WMD-Clock+ v2.0-RC2, the 2nd release candidate (and I hope the final version) is here. Changes:

- missed calls icon ("missedCalls")

- outlined text for battery, alarm, unread sms and number of missed calls (increased readability)

- G-Alarm support for alarm type 0 (should finally be ok now)

- clock digits a little further apart

- weather forecast shows the day names instead of the date

- new version of WMD-AndrokkidLib

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I have one more request for WMDClockPlus. Email count & access. That one might be a little more "interesting" to create, since each email source seems to have it's own set of mailboxes. Since I now have a profile switcher, that would nicely replace the wifi toggle, letting me replace the full sized email icon with something else.

Now, looking at the widget, the textShadow looks to be on for the small batter and alarm clock. I have set it to yes then started it and set it to no and started it. The text looks the same which looks to be shadowed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The text should be outlined rather than shadowed. I've used the same technique as Simo did with his battery. The shadow setting has no effect on outlined text. Is the text on your device not readable? (The intention was to increase readability, not decrease it) Can you post a screenshot?

WMD-Clock+ v2.0-RC2

wmdirk,

I have used RC2 more extensively and I have a request. The current weather panel has a button for Forecast and a button for Update. On my VGA phone, the buttons are small and very close together. It makes it kind of difficult to navigate with my finger; it almost forces me to use the stylus.

Can you make the panel bigger (I know you are supporting QVGA so this could be difficult)? Or can you make the buttons bigger and space the buttons apart a little bit? Preferably, you can do a combination of a bigger panel and bigger buttons.

I guess I should have brought this up in after the RC1 release, but I did not use it enough.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I'll do my best. Panel size are however limited to the widget's background and cannot go outside of that. I'll see what I can do with the spacing.

I'm making some fundamental modifications right now. Instead of releasing v2.0, it may go back to beta stage...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
im liking the icons under the clock that is nice, have you thought about an option to make the weather icon different sizes also?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
What exactly do you mean by different icon sizes? For now, all positions are related and when you start changing sizes, this may have an impact on text not showing up where you'd expect it.

Goraps Weather

I keep getting this error all of a sudden with Goraps Weather where it says Visual Basic Resource file not found, or something like that. I reinstalled but the .net 3.5 stuff, and Androkkid and Goraps. Still get the error, not sure what I did or didn't do. Any ideas?

WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta 1

WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta1 is available. It's my closest match to the original Hero clock. For now, only a single skin is supported. There a new icons for email and voiceMail.

For those who have a problem configuring Goraps Weather, I've added some additional information on my site...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Any chance of doing a 2.0 version with those added options? I'm not sure yet if I want to do the icons on the bottom, but I do want email on the clock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta1

Hello wmdirk

From my testing of WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta1

1. Custom Icons. I think you have not set them up to work. If you have, I have not been able to make them work. I placed them at the bottom as well as on the left and right. I can see them, but when I click on them they do not start the program assigned to them. I do like being able to place what ever you want around the clock, left, right or bottom. I did move the alarm to the left and battery and profile to the right and they do work as well as when their on the bottom i.e. when clicking they work and display the info.

2. Weather last updated. Can you make it so that it can be turned off or moved back to the panel. When I have 4 icons on the bottom I can not read the update.

3. Weather panel. Can you move the Today and Forecast button so they line up in front of Update or move them to be left justified. Some of the text for the weather goes under the buttons and can not be read.

4. I did put the alarm info under the hour and it works, when I clicked it, it opened g-alarm, but I remove it as i like it on the alarm icon.

5. I did not test any of the other stuff, as I use WMDRegInfo for email and so on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
You can disable the bottom icons by setting numBottomIcons=0 in the settings.txt file. You can set the numLeftIcons and numRightIcons to the number you want and define your icons, just like before. In fact, the v2.0 skins should still work. The only thing missing is the nextAlarm.png image (which you can copy from the heroOriginal skin) and the skinSettings.txt will not contain all fonts (but they all have a default setting, which shouldn't be a problem). And you can disable the date and alarm info below the clock digits if you want (disabling the date below the digits will put it back above the clock, just like v2.0).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
So, if I understood one other post from a tester, we can have side icons, bottom icons or both. Awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta1

Yes. I move the Icons to the left, right and bottom and they work i.e. the ones that come with the clock widget. The only thing for me that does not work is the Custom Icons. They show up but when click they do not execute the program assigned to them.

WMD RegInfo widget

@wmdirk - Hey, in the next version could you fix the voicemail thing for the RegInfo widget? In the settings.txt file, it says "SystemState.MessagingVoiceMailTotalUnread". Perhaps it's a language thing, but I don't typically "read" my voicemails, I "listen" to them :) Also, when the widget runs, it says "Number of unread voicemails: #" -- same thing ;)

Furthermore, has anybody had any issues getting the Goraps Weather Widget to connect to Accuweather? All day, mine is stuck on the "Connecting to AccuWeather" but it never connects. Not sure if it's an issue on just my phone, or if anybody else is experiencing this.

Thanks,

Q
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lancekemp:
WMD-Clock+ v2.1-beta1

Hello wmdirk

Some other ideas

1. Can you put in an x-offset as well for the icons in pixels "absolute position from the left or right of the background"

2. When the day month is below the clock can you make the month abbreviated i.e. Jan for January and have it centered under the min.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
The SystemState.MessagingVoiceMailTotalUnread is a .Net system state variable. I didn't invent it myself :).

I can change the text though, and will do so for the next version.

Any other issues/desires for RegInfo?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
Just retested the custom icons. Seems there's a problem for exe's without a ";" seperation of the exe itself and it's (optional) parameters. For now, if you add an ";" after your exe path, it should function.

I'm looking at the other stuff others reported, and will then post a new beta version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
I've had that happen on occasion. Exiting Androkkid & restarting or a soft reset usually fixes it. I can think of only once that didn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmdirk:
I just need to create a couple of skins to better support all this. Working on that right now :)

By the way, just created my first theme...
