The default settings have indeed 4 stripes half of the screen. But you can make each stripe the full width, location, etc. And you can enable/disable stripes. And for each stripe you can subclass another window, like DesktopExplorerWindow. You can then not see in real-time where the stripe is drawn, so you have to play with it then, where to locate it exactly.

But better wait till the next fix, because I had almost to hard reset my phone, because I did make a typo in the window name :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, I expected that, that is why it was experimental :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfmckenna:
Remove stripe

hey is there a way to completely remove the stripe, i made the color the same as the background but after soft reset it defaults back to green, and unchecking stripe does not work wither
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Actually unchecking "stripe enabled" does work. But you have to uncheck it a bunch of times in order to completely remove all stripes. Each stripe has to be configured separately and you can switch between the configurations of each stripe with the + and - (at the very top of the stripe configuration window).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfmckenna:
Thanks, worked perfectly, as usual the source of nearly all problems "User Error" lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
With the current version it is already possible to draw the stripes over the softkeys. See screenshot. See also my settings for Touch Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
AWESOME!

My apologies, I didn't see it in the previous screen shot and just skimmed through the posts and had not yet played with it. Will check it out with the next fix.

9-5-2010 Version 2.1.1 *NEW* 6 stripes

9-5-2010 Version 2.1.1 *NEW* 6 stripes

# Fixed bug that a freeze of the Start button was possible when a wrong Window Name was set

# Added option to specify the Max value for a stripe, so the value shown does not need to be a percentage

# Added 2 extra stripe possibilities, for RegKey 2 and RegKey 3 (so now 6 stripes possible)

# Updated Russian translations, thanks to Vadim Bogaiskov

Note that people wanting to have a stripe for Battery Current, Battery Temperature or Battery Voltage, they can configure to log those values (see BattConfig Log) and configure RegKey1, RegKey2 and/or Regkey3 to point to the Log:

# HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\Status\Ba tteryTemp

# HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\Status\Ba tteryCurrent

# HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\Status\Ba tteryVoltage
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
It is in, version 2.1.1. It has no even 6 stripes :D

Make sure to log the battery Current (BattConfig Log) and add that key as Reg Key 1, 2 or 3 in the BattConfig Separators window. And of course, configure Stripe RegKey1, 2 or 3.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaguaralani:
really really awesome release !

thanks mate for your wonderful efforts !

I am only facing one issue !

the setting explanation for the "WINDOWS NAME " is not clear,

ok, now I would like to have my cpu% + date viewed on manila home page below the weather !, what should I write in " WINDOWS NAME " field ?? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Issue

I like to report an Issue, that while configuring the Stripes, moving from one stripe configuration to another some times copy values from within,

Values copied are: X, Y, W, H, Low Value, Medium Value, High Value.

Not sure if the colors are copied, but don't think so

Edit: I think if i uncheck Battery stripe first thing when i go in to "Stripes" then it's values are not copied to CPU Usage stripe, then i would check it on again before exiting
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
This is what is in the Settigns html doc:

So I expect you need to fill in DesktopExplorerWindow.

If you want to check the Window names, in this post there is a tool called remote spy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaguaralani:
Thanks mate

will try and see.......

Arabic Translation

This is the Arabic translation
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Is there a way to force the installation of English version, even though my device has Arabic support?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks, I will incorporate it in a next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, after starting the BattConfig at least once, go to the folder where BattClock is installed and remove the specific language folder, e.g.:

Program Files\BattClock\ar

Nice app! User 1000 here now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Ahh, new stuff to play with it. This i will do in the evening now :cool:

ZuinigeRijder: very well done - Thank You. I must figure out how is this holy sh..t now working :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Loomer:
ZuinigeRijder: thank you for the greate app!

Please place this in TODO list - when the device connected and charging, and battery % stripe active, it should grow up to 100% step by step, then move back to current % and then again and again (you could see this in the Batti app).

Suppose it will be usefull to all users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Outstanding !!!

I cannot enclosed a picture of my front page...but looks very nice indeed.

Upper stripe showing phone reception.

Second stripe showing CPU load.

Third stripe showing battery charge.

All of them red if under 25%; yellow under 50; blue above 50%.

Backgrounds in true white.

Block of four lines showing date, time with seconds, battery charge

and finally battery temperature.

The only bug found so far is that I have been

not capable of changing the color of the third line showing

remaining battery charge, which sticks to grey regardless of

my wishing to set its color to full white (255,255,255).

Other colors have been set to my preference easily.

Any idea to fix this ?

Almost forgot: unable to start bluetooth and unable to access

communication manager. After soft reset it operates normallly

again

Congratulations !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
It would be appreciated if you fix the bug that causes values copied between stripes when configuring them.

and if there is a way to make the battery drain current updates a bit faster

Great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Or maybe just changes it's color to one other than the original three colors (Hi, Mid, Low, Charging)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am not familiar with the Batti app, but growing up down is not so a good idea. I am more for another color when charging then, like khaeid proposed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I tried to reproduce, but I could change the battery percentage colors in the stripes config screen :confused:

Or did you mean something else?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I tried also to reproduce this one.

When changing e.g. the X value and then moving to a next stripe, the actual X value belonging to the selected stripe was shown. Note that I tested with 2.1.1.

Note that values are only stored, when an enter is pressed.

How did you change the values?

There is a separate setting to get non-cached battery current. Did you try that one? But still I am then relying on the battery driver on the results. Not more I can do about it if already configured to use the non-cached one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will put this one on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
I will export the registry values of the application where this problem happens and explain how it did
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaeid:
Ok, here it is,

import these settings

open Battconfig

open Stripes

just touch the + to move up the list of stripes, when you reach CPU it will take Battery settings

I really like the application, i like to help you as much as possible to make it better
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MoHed:
Wonderful App; Thanks

Thanks ZuinigeRijder for this excellent app.

Please think of adding WiFi strength signal to the regkeys so that it can be configured as a stripe, that would be super.

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Is there already a Wifi strength signal registry key available on your phone? If yes, you can just configure it.

Or are you asking if I can measure the Wifi strength and add this to a registry key? I do not know if there is a generic possibility to get the Wifi signal strength in Windows Mobile. Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Not the stripes...

...but on the old original display.

As I said, four lines...

First with date, second with hour, third with charge,

fourt with circling temperature and current.

All with adjusted colors but battery charge that remains

grey refardless of trying to set it to 255,255,255.

Best regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There was a problem with version 2.1, that the stripe enabled setting was taken from Battery Percentage instead of CPU. But this has been fixed in 2.1.1.

I could not reproduce the problem in 2.1.1 by just touching the +. When it goes to CPU, it just shows the CPU settings. So am I missing something? Or did you not upgrade to 2.1.1?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for the clarification.

Ok, I tried the same setup. The battery % colors for the battclock items (so not the stripes) have to be set in the Colors settings screen. You must change the Low, Medium and High color there. The B stands there for Battery thresholds, M for Memory thresholds.

Or does that also not work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Yes it does !

I discovered it by my own when giving it anothet try

and I came back to tell you so when I see you answering

si soon...

Thanks so much...

I am bound to donate right away...thanks.

Is there a registry key for:

- Wireless connection speed (GPRS)

- Mount of data transfer

May be something from SPB Wireless Monitor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can use a registry editor, all the configuration options are in the registry. But it is harder, of course. Detailed information of the Settings (including Registry key) can be found here:

http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4

The registry keys you will find here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\BattClock

And if you want to see the result, without restarting BattClock, increment the registry value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\ActionSettings\SettingsChanged
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Szior has send me a video showing me the problem. I could now also reproduce the problem. So now I am going to hunt the problem for a solution. That means debugging :mad:

13-5-2010 Version 2.1.2 stripe config bugfix

Bug fix version

# Fixed bug that Stripe settings were incorrectly changed when switching to next/previous stripe item

# When battery is charging and battery stripe is enabled, alternate between the configured high and medium and low color each second

# Added Arabic translations, thanks to khaeid
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:
simply awsome app!!!!! is there anyway only to show the battery line? ie like to have only the battery line display with the time,Battery%,ram and cpu numeric display
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, in the Stripe Config Window you need to press the +/- of the first item. It switches to the next Stripe, which you can disable then.

So for each stripe you have control over all the configuration stuff below on the same page.

But apparently it is not intuitive enough that you can browse through all the stripe settings that way :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:
nice once...works like a charm.....Thxs!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, I found some code where the mobile internet connection can be monitored (transmitted/received bytes). It uses RasGetLinkStatistics.

This page describes the info returned:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446723%28v=VS.85%29.aspx

I do not know if this is interesting to add to BattClock. When the internet connection is broken, this info is not available anymore. Possibilities to show are:

- current kbs transmitted/received

- total bytes transmitted/received

- question for the total is of course if I just need to add it to a total registry count. Then you can clear the registry when you want to reset the counters.

But maybe it is worth another program, not (fully) integrated with BattClock. Just BattClock can show the values from the new program, which can write registry values shown by BattClock. :rolleyes:

There is also some code for getting WLAN statistics. But it does not seem to work on my phone. I found also other code which could find my Adapter, maybe I can combine them to achieve what I want. This gives the following information, NIC_STATISTICS. There the same sort of information can be deduced.

I do not know if people are interested in those options or have some thoughts. This means I need to do a deep dive again, to figure (new) things out. Actually, I was thinking to spent less time on my programs, because in the end it costs a lot of time and does not bring much in donations/AdSense. Anyway, let me know what you think of those options.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bib_x:
I have installed the latest TouchLockPro - can i install the new battclock or will this give problems with TLP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can install both, because BattClock has now its own registry settings. But of course you need to reposition the BattClock area, otherwise they are drawn over each other. Actually you can by that have 2 BattClock areas (one from BattClock and one from TouchLockPro), besides the new stripes in BattClock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:
This is really such a great app.....exactly what i was looking for....

what i have noticed is that the numeric displays which i have keep flashing on and off with no exact pattern/rythem...not sure if it is supposed to do this

the other thing which i cannot get my head around are the import and export settings...when i try to export I am not sure where the file goes and how to import them again or even it has exported or imported successfully...(I am sure this is just me)

I just cant get over this app and all the possibilities which it has....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, I do not understand really understand it. You mean the BattClock area is flickering? You did not configure circular? At least I am not aware of that behaviour.

The export files are written in the root of the phone as described here:

http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.9

# By clicking Export the settings will be exported to \BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone memory.

# By clicking Import the settings will be imported from \BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone memory, so make sure to copy the appropriate file to this location before importing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:
Backup settings I have figured out thxs to you.....

circular settings have been ticked...but I think it has to do with the cpu monitor....as and when this changes the flickering starts I think....as the cpu is constantly changing hence the flickering....I will monitor more and :rolleyes:report back....but thxs!!!!

I really hate to say this but I wish I was currently working in order to give you a larger donation as this app wins the best 2010 app for me....yes even surpassing Cookies home tab....:rolleyes:....NICE

......6X050785LR2314120......my small donation....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I use a Winmo 6.5.x like this, but unfortunately my Mogul doesn't support Sense (I'm finally uprgrading, but somewhat sadly to an Android Evo). I'm stuck with an old version of Touchflo (I think). I also use Wktask (which shows open apps on the left of the task bar) so I don't want the horizontal BattClock layout like you're using here. That's why I wanted the multiple stripes option. Have you tried them? I would love to see some shots of them on a Winmo 6.5.x/Sense combo (preferrably several solid full screen stripes). Anyone doing that?

Can't get the pick in there. ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for the donation. I will drink a couple cups of coffee with my wife.

I do not experience flashing behaviour, also I have configured to show CPU%. Maybe you have the stripes overlap the BattClock area? The default settings do not overlap the area, because the top and height are changed by each 2 pixels. Or did you use a background image?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

>> Fixed bug that Stripe settings were incorrectly changed when switching to next/previous stripe item

Yes, this was an issue but you are so fast. You have fixed that isse, super stuff. Thank you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello ZuinigeRijder,

Excellent your program, and especially this latest version 2.1.2. I have made a donation yesterday, I hope you get properly paid through PayPal, I think it's just this great work you do.

I wanted to ask if you could put in the time adjustment can also query multiple values: RAM, battery temperature, battery voltage and battery current. I think if you could adjust the values, instead of every second, the battery last longer, right?.

I also wanted to ask if putting the option of working capital in the second line of data (upper right of the screen) consumes more battery power. My intention would be circulating to put the following data (3 seconds each, for example) RAM, the date, hour.

I hope you can understand me, I'm not fluent in Spanish and English (I use the Google translator). Your program is not fully translated into Spanish.

Thanks and I await your response.

Sincerely,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Phone reception shows maximum at 37000 feet !!!

Hi again !

I just want to report that on a recent plane trip I discoverd

that....

1. On ground reception bar shows around 80% signal strength.

2. I switch phone to flight mode when entering the plane.

3. As reception is about the very same, signal stripe still shows

previous 80%.

4. Following flight crew instructions I shut down the phone.

5. When cruising at 37000 feet I turn the phone on, still on flight mode, and....

signal strength stripe says 100% ....which is dificult to believe...

Any fix ?

Thank you !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hi,

thanks for the donation :)

Currently BattClock is highly optimized.

- The date/time is only updated/requested once per minute (except if you did configure seconds, then each second there is a screen update of course)

- The battery values are only polled once per 60 seconds (you can overrule this value in the Others Config screen, BatteryPollSeconds = 60).

- Only when you have configured to show the Battery Current, then the battery driver will be polled once per second.

- requesting RAM is a Windows API which does not consume much CPU

- Only when there is a value changed (or circulated to next value), the screen is requested to update (Invalidate).

You will see that the CPU consumption of BattClock is very very low, less than 1%.

So you do not need to be afraid BattClock drains battery. If your battery drains, it is some other program, e.g. keeps your phone awake.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
My budget was not large enough to test BattClock above 30000 feet :D

But I did check at 30 feet and there the result was the same :eek:

BattClock is just showing the Phone Signal strength registry key. Apparently the flight mode does not update that registry key to 0. So actually it is a Windows Mobile bug :cool: I see that another registry key (Radio Ready State) is indicating 0 when in flight mode. So the only way to fix it, is to incorporate the knowledge of the radio status. But currently it is just showing a (configurable) registry key, so this does not make sense to fix it at that level.

That would mean that I introduce a real "Phone signal strength" option which incorporates the knowledge of the radio state. And the registry key 1 you can configure then as something else.

I will look if I can introduce this one. Till then do not fly to high :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Very funny....

I knew it has to be something like what you have just explained...

But as I said before I was just reporting a little bug found at "altitude" of an outstanding

piece of software I love my best.

Keep up your lovely programming !

Signed: BattClock test pilot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello,

Perfect. If your program is highly optimized for this reason I chose it from its first version and I admire the good work that has developed, and what is still working on this project.

He wanted to know if the file is exported with the settings of the program will remain compatible for new versions which offer more adjustments. This is important because its program has many settings takes some time it perfectly customized for each user.

Everything is calculated to the millimeter in each setting, allowing to adapt the program perfectly. So I have interest in conserving the adjustments I've made and if a new version, update anytime, without losing the work I've done by adjusting the program.

Once again I congratulate you on this program. It's the best there is in this category, and I've tried almost all ... why I wanted to support you with my donation, and I think everyone who uses the program should do, because their work is long and excellent.

Sincerely,

Ideas for future releases

Thank you very much for this superb new 2.1.2 release.

Here some ideas for future releases:

1) add one more threshold/colour for the clock (battery and memory) and the 6 stripes, to have for example

- Low - red - 25

- Medium1 - orange - 50

- Medium2 - yellow - 75

- High - green - 100

- this would display one more visual gradient and permit 25% increments

2) when battery is charging, battery stripe is enabled and 100 % charge is attained, stop alternating between the configured high, medium and low colours each second and switch over to blinking only the high colour.

Thanks also for your numerous, fast and useful updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Normally, when you install a newer version, the already existing settings are kept. New settings will be added with the defaults at that time.

Of course it is also good to save your settings as backup.

Via the About screen of BattConfig you can reset/export/import settings:

# By clicking Reset the settings will be reset and BattClock will recompute the defaults. BattConfig will exit automatically.

# By clicking Export the settings will be exported to \BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone memory.

# By clicking Import the settings will be imported from \BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone memory, so make sure to copy the appropriate file to this location before importing.

Hope it is clear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, those are good ideas. I will put those on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello,

Everything has become abundantly clear, it is good to reconsider all previous settings.

They are also very interesting thoughts from "anoano" for your program.
