You're probably right... still it would be pretty cool just to check what it would look like... I can create a shortcut to BattClock with AEB Button Plus so that I can enable/disable BattClock with just a press of a button if I want to play a full screen game for instance... I can imagine it being quite useful when browsing the web though having BattClock always visible even in full screen. On the other hand... what would happen when you scroll in full page and battclock is visible?

Re: CHTEditor 1.7.1 = Question re "HebrewTranslation"

Dear Mr. Som30Ne hello,

I am relative new in this field, if possible, need your assitance on my new HD2 with the following:

After finish install the CHTEditor 1.7.1 only the "Co0kie's Home tab Editor" is getting stacked.... and it is reading "An Unexpected error ha occuerred in CHTEditor.exe".

Then i am installing the Co0kie's Home tab 1.7.1.CAB and issue is resolved and all is working perfectly fine.

But..... afetrwards i am installing the Hebrew language and then,,, again same problem e.g. when trying to get to Co0kie's Home tab Editor it does not work "An Unexpected error ha occuerre in CHTEditor.exe" and this time the "Co0kie's Home tab 1.7.1.CAB" is NOT HELPING resloving the problem and in addition to that the device is not succeding to "Launch the HTC Sense" even not after soft reset.....

I wanted to tray and install the "HebrewTranslation" file but then i have no idea:

1) Which one i shall install? As i think i saw X2 diffent ones

2) Where eaxtly in the device i shall put it? and then extract (as I can not find the "windos" file from my PC to copy too - when device is syncronayzed?

3) Do i have to install first my hebrew language , then your file, and only then e.g. last one the CHTEditor 1.7.1 or via versa?

4) Do you think it will resolve the issue?

(By the way - The device with the hebrew anguage without theCHTEditor 1.7.1 - is working 100% OK)

Hope you will be able to assit...

Thank you in advance

Best Regards

Eran

CPU use increasing over time (DetectBackground)

After upgrading to 2.0.1 (from 1.9) to get the voltage reading I also noticed that over time the CPU use is dramatically increasing over time. Restarting BattClock will also reset the CPU use. After some hours the CPU is hogged with 50% on my little old smartphone :-(

I checked for changes I did to the settings intentionally (read voltage and detect background color) to see if it has an effect. Just by activating the "DetectBackground" setting it to "1" will increase the CPU visibly over time ( 0.1% per minute).

If you switch off the option it will stay at about 0.1%.

After some time I will attach a screenshot of ACBtaskman to depict the effect on my Tornado.

No battery charging indicator since v2.0.1

Since I use version 2.0.1 the tilde character ~ isn't shown anymore during charging, just the normal % sign is displayed.

Bug or feature? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
This is a bug. This bug is only there, when you use also other battery items, like temperature. I have this bug already locally fixed. So it will be included in the next update, I hope within a few days.

This is what is planned:

# Fixed bug that Battery charge indicator was not shown when also other Battery items were shown

# Fixed bug that if DetectBackground was enabled, the CPU was hogging after some time

# Fixed bug that BattClock.log.txt was no longer made when debug was enabled

# Added Font selection for installed fonts (Fontname, Bold/Regular)

# Added possibility to specify a gradient color as background color (select left and right background color)

# Color picker now makes a screen capture of the upper part, so you can better select the matching taskbar colors (e.g. for gradient colors)

# Added customized OpenFileDialog, so Background images can be selected in all directories, including Windows

# Changed problem that right to left languages like Hebrew text is no longer occupied by +/- buttons

# Updated Hebrew translations, thanks to Som30ne

# Added Greek translations, thanks to padvou

# Added experimental possibility (enable via Registry key) to subclass other windows than taskbar window (TaskBarWindowName)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for reporting the bug. I checked my code and I did not release after the call to GetWindowDC(0). I will fix it in the next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will see if I can make an experimental option for this in a next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caldo:
Thank you! Very nice app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
I have a similar issue but I think this can be fixed with auto adjust and allowing transparency(if possible :D)

Hi

Install worked fine on my HTC S740 but

I can't run

the programm

ERROR

Unable to find HHTaskBar

(HTC S740, Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard)

Any ideas to solve the problem?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elmalote:
Great app!! :) Thanks!

Just a minor suggestion, if it would possible to adjust the width in landscape. I can see the two first digits of the WM clock when I use landscape.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] airbus3:
It looks very pro on the screenshots so I was a bit disappointed when I installed it on my Blackstone (see screenshot)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can change the sizes and location via the registry, so it fits nice on your Blackstone. A BattClock configuration program is on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I did foresee that already, so that will be part in the next version.

Note that you can also change the clock to battery for landscape somewhere, I believe with advanced config.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I rely on the fact that TopBar is named HHTaskBar. At my knowledge this is a generic pattern. I do not know how your Taskbar Window is named. Maybe you can check with a tool? other people know the answer?

Another possibility is that I activate the clock so quickly at boot, the Windows is not yet available? You can check if you disable/enable the BattClock via Programs.

If I know the TaskBar Window name, I can possibly add support :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, I do not know a good solution yet for this problem. Apparently the TaskBar icons change size, dependent of the Sense UI or not. Someone having suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
Don't know if possible? Can't you install a dummy icon in the taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
Great, thanks! I'm not even concerned about a GUI for changing configurations since the registry keys are clear enough. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
The location of the items in the taskbar changes when your in the today screen and when an application is launched(it adjusts for the close button). Maybe you could add an option for two locations, one for when in the today screen and one for when an application is launched?

EDIT: Would there be a possibility to have BattClock move depending on the active window with a sort of expections list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
It is a good idea when using this app to goto your wm clock screen where there is an option to display the clock on the title bar in all windows, which should be un-ticked, that way BattClock will be on top of the wm battery gauge and not on top of the wm clock.....Something like that any way....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phil82de:
Hey,

thanks for this nice app. =)

Here my feedback:

- On my HT2 the default position is not exact so I can see the system-Icon below the new one (see screenshot).

- The black background looks a bit strange on transparent Layouts.

- Could the Font Color get yellow and red if the battery gets empty??

Best greetings

Phil

Hi ZuinigeRijder,

and here one screenshot from my actually theme nad BattClock 2.0.1. It is amazing and i have he cpu load allways visible, also used power (mA) and the second time. This is an very good and little (means memory and performance using) app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Always good to see how creative people are :)

Thanks for sharing.

Update of work in progress

Just an update of work in progress and what is upcoming, to keep you tuned.

First of all I made a BattStripe possible, in combination with the normal items you can already show textual. Actually, the BattStripe is a separate area on top of a window. By default it is 2 pixels heigh, also the Y position can be configured. The Battery percentage is drawn in a maximum of 10 blocks, so the number of blocks also gives an indication how much percentage is left. The color of the stripe is dependent of the treshold colors and values you can configure (low, medium, high).

I also added an option to subclass another window than the taskbar (normally HHTaskBar). So it is also possible to draw it on top of the Home screen (DesktopExplorerWindow on my Touch Diamond). I have put the BattClock items horizontally on my simple Windows Mobile Homescreen at the bottom, just above the soft keys. The following items I have configured:

1. Seconds and AM/PM indication

2. Weeknumber and day name (in dutch za means Saturday)

3. CPU%

4. Phone Signal strength

5. Battery Temperature

6. Battery Current

A problem with today plugins is that they will not work in TouchFlo 3D. But my solution of subclassing the HomeScreen also works in TF3D :eek: Actually, I can still sweep through the TF3D options, partly obscured by the BattClock items :rolleyes:

Also in the explorer window, the BattCLock items are shown on top. I left some space from the right, so the right scroll bar is not obscured by BattClock items.

I also made it possible to select different fonts than the "Tahoma" font I used. I thought my Touch Diamond only had "Tahoma" and "Courier new". But my programs enumerates now the available fonts and there were 2 more fonts I did not know of. One of them was "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin".

Unfortunately, my program has hit some boundaries, so the memory is now no longer 1 Kb, but 33 Kb. So I have to look if I can bring it back to 1 Kb. I suspect some buffers for the added FontNames is the cause of that. So I need to look into that. Although 33 Kb is still nothing.

Also I still have to make the configuration of the BattStripe in BattConfig. I now just tested it via setting Registry keys and with the default to show the stripe in combination with the BattClock items. So be patient, I do this in my free time and do not earn much with it :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

very great news, because then i can leave the app what i am using now for that. A request for that.... left and right offset for the people who have round edges like DUSK and GTX
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
More meter stripes please?

Please, please, please? I would love the option to have more meter stripes (above and below the task bar, above and below the softkey bar, maybe even below the date bar in touch flow, I don't think one would work well above the touchflo slider of course).

Also, just my opinion, but I think solid bars instead of blocked look better (I feel I can estimate the length well enough), but that's just my opinion.

I still like using your digital readouts to replace the little battery indicator on the task bar. Just want a combination of both stripes/bars and digits and don't want to cover up other items I like.

I'm just a little obessed with trying to get as much information on my home page as possile while keeping it pretty.

I guess under the date bar won't work since that's within touchflo. Oh well, 4 bars/stripes and a couple of digital readouts stacked veritcally in the task bar would make me happy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will see if I add this in the upcoming version or in another version. Because probably there will be more requests coming up and I have to take care for Portrait and Landscape, I presume :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am wondering which information you want to show. Only values related to percentages? Like Battery, Free memory, CPU%, Phone Signal? Because other values you need to define the upper/lower limit, and then you need to configure a lot more. And Probably you also want to configure the threshold colors per item, because you can only do this now for Battery and Memory.

Anyway, I will first post a version with only the Battery Stripe, so people can play with it and give feedback, before introducing other possibilities.

I managed to get the memory back to 1 KB, so tonight I am going to add the BattStripe configuration possibility.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS.

I will post few interesting narrow fonts for you guys, soon.

I even, finally, found excellent, narrow system font replacement(helvetica were not that great, too much lost space(vertically), imho).

Just look at that sweetie, meet Nina(intl):

http://i39.tinypic.com/ad2k4l.jpg

upd: i recommend nuefonts to change WM fonts.

ahh btw - weird problem, i still see WWE gui, despite of PLK locale, system is NOT PLK, just regional settings are...do i need whole PLK localization to see PLK gui in BattClock? it would be weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IgwanaRob:
Options?

Is is possible to have a different background color for the top and bottom items when configured vertically? Using the Dusk bars the gradient is vertical, and you can only choose one color now.

Here's a screenshot with the clock and battery setup with only one color background:

​

Choosing a color for each item would allow people to blend with gradient bars/background - or even better, an option to have a transparent background while choosing the item colors individually as it is now.

(edited out request for clickable launching as it's already on the to-do list)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, in the upcoming version a vertical gradient color (top left and right bottom color) can be selected. But looking at your screenshot, this will also not match your theme exactly. You should make a screenshot of your taskbar and make an image exact the size of your BattClock area and use that as background image. Others have done that too :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IgwanaRob:
Probably the best idea in spite of my horrible graphics skills ;)

Thanks :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Can you be more specific? Because the BattClock area are normal numbers. But if you choose Day or Month name in Date/Format String, from version 2.0.1 on, it should show the default locale. Is that not working?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have added 4 battery stripes in the upcoming version, and yes it has a solid option. I am almost finishing the test phase. I am adding the translations as much as possible for the new setting screens.

And then I need to make screenshots and update the documentation. I will try to finish this weekend, but no promises ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
WOOHOO!

You rock. What items have the option to display as a stripe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I did already update the "Coming soon" changelog:

Stripe can indicate Battery%, Free Memory%, CPU% or Registry Key 1 (default Phone signal strength)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Incredible!!! Seriously... that little BattClock area contains more information than the rest of the screen! Really looking forward to this update :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quickstang:
Didn't really like the stripe deal (personal preference...using TP2) tried to disable it, but that didn't work. It's still there. For me it just looks tacky like there is something wrong.

Reverted back to 1.9. Besides that, everything is great :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock version 2.1, *NEW* with 4 stripes

A picture tells it all ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the Stripes settings screen, you can select stripe by stripe and disable them. But of course you can use an older version if you do not like them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
ZuinigeRijder,

Thanks for upgrading us to v2.1.

One question with Window Name, what if I want to show BattClock in two windows: DesktopExplorerWindow and Explore, how can I do it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the stripes window, go to the stripe setting you want to change, by pressing the+- of the first item.

The settings are shown of that stripe. Just change the window name. It is possible you need to start/stop battclock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
One question... lets say you're surfing the WEB with Opera Mobile. When the taskbar hides to show you the full screen... is it possible to show the BattClock area on top of the (full screen) Opera? Something like this (faked) screenshot?

Brgds... /Tubgirl

Russian Translation for v.2.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Damned, it looks like if you put in a wrong Window name inside the BattStripe, it is possible youre phone freezes. And because BattClock starts at power up, the Start menu will no longer work :mad:

So it is possible you need to hard reset.

So I am now in a situation if I can better remove this version, otherwise people might encounter a hard reset, if they use the experimental Window Name possibility.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Battery Current Registry Key or stripe

I see there is a registry for phone signal, could there be a registry for Battery Current?

as i like to have the battery current on a stripe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Because of a possibility to freeze the phone and a hard reset possibility in combination with the new Window Name subclassing, I removed the CAB and only the zip file is available for download. Because it then does not autostart at boot. :mad:

So be carefull with the window name changing. I am looking into the freeze.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Update: I had myself the problem, after configuring a battstripe with a different Window Name. So pressing the Start menu did freeze the phone. I was afraid I had to hard-reset. But luckily I could still use ActiveSync and via the explorer I could remove the startup link. I am investigating the cause, but my fist guess is a Design flaw from my side. I keep you updated and hope to post a fix soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, it is possible, TouchLockPro has this approach when locked. So it is on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
no possibility for stripes above and below softbar?

Bummer, I was hoping for a couple of stripes at the bottom of my screen above and below the softkey bar. Any possibility of doing that? Anyone know how to do that? Don't really like the half screen stripes (just my preference). Don't see the need for phone signal strength since I already have that (just my preference). I guess I would opt for battery, cpu, memory, current, temp. Great app though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There is no registry key for the Battery Current in Windows Mobile. But BattCLock can log those values to a registry key. So you can enable to log the current and use that in battstripe regkey 1 ;)

But the battstripe expects percentages (values between 0 and 100) so this will not work as expected, because often the current is higher than 100. Then there should be another configuration possibility, a value to specify the max value. Then it could be computed back into a percentage. I will see if I can provide that option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Any solution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
As you are taking your time and effort to fix this issue, could you please add Battery Current consumption to a Stripe in the upcoming fixed release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks, I will update in the upcoming fix release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will see if I can add the configuration of the Max value. But I want to make a fix ASAP, so dependent how easy it is, I will incorporate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
I managed to show BattClock at the bottom of two windows: 'DesktopExplorerWindow', and 'menu_worker'. :cool: Thanks. :D

But, by using other window names, BattClock itself has to expose to task Managers like WkTASK, thus can get shut down easily by WkTASK every time I click the 'x' button, and I have to leave the 'x' button there just to keep BattClock alive. :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
direction you want to go

If I'm asking for mods that are not the direction you want to go with your app is there any chance you would be interested in making a separate app for the stripes above and below the soft key bar (items other than the battery and available mb dci battery/qwerty memory offers)?

I don't want you to make your app too big, complicated or cluttered. I could use BattClock and dci battery/qwerty memory and a new app to get the look I want. That probably doesn't make much sense from a memory/performance perspective, but I'm just playing around for a look.
