[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
I meant the BattConfig app.

I havent checked the date/time format/language

++ edit -

I believe the date-time format is determined by the windows OS (windows create the string according to the location)

what is the date string on the HTC hometab ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
lol, what HTC hometab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
Well, to the best of my experience, HTC hometab uses the default windows string,

so I suggested it as a reference.

Maybe you should try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
I do not understand You, Sir, MS date/time reference is depending on locale of OS.

As you can see, MS string I used in HS++ skin on today IS using proper locale(so i do not have 16th of april, but 16 kwietnia 2010 in hs++ tab).

..gonna look into battclock cfg, ok..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Indeed only BattConfig is using localization (C#/.NET).

For the date/time formatstrings I rely on wcsftime. I have searched how to set the BattClock to the correct localization (C++). But it appeared that the setlocale method is NOT available on Windows Mobile :mad:

So it looks like the day names and so on are not translated by wcsftime on Windows Mobile. Apparently a cripled version.

Interesting enough I could get the day names in Dutch, when I queried for them. But I could not set the locale correctly in C++ on WM.

The question is also, if wcsftime will then give the correct string back too:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can also remove the subfolder with the culture in it, after installation/first run, then it will also default to English.

And of course, when you set the regional language to English, it will also take that language.

bugs:

- i can tap for getting taskbar functions under battclock, but only, if battclock is set to less, than whole width of screen - if it is set to full width, taps are not working at all(although quick menu menu is working while battclock is set to fullwidth - qm has its own overrider for area of logo);

- changes in "separators", and "registry keys" are giving weird effects: i.e. "call" works, "calls" give effect in 0callsms, etc etc, looks like config applet bug, not soft itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Nice screenshot :)

I do not know about the fonts available on a WM device, but I will put it on the wish list ;)

Clickable BattClock areas, configure commands to execute per item is already on the wish list. The option to press the underlying item is a nice suggestion. I will think about it (probably disable the display for a small moment, simulate the press on the same position and then enable again).

The positioning of the items is currently determined by the fontsizes. Possibility of exact positioning of the text is also already on the wish list.

I still think how to make configuration of more BattClock areas available. I even think of 6 areas, including stripe possibilities :eek:

Can you be more specific of:

Because this does not ring me a bell :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
quick as always, thanks.

Luckily the way to provide translations has improved ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
hmm, interesting, why there's no PLK then.

eheheheh...fresh blood?

It is file choice window overrider, thing absolutely crucial for me:

btw bugs i found so far, duplicated from my prev post(in case you overlooked that post):

- i can tap for getting taskbar functions under battclock, but only, if battclock is set to less, than whole width of screen - if it is set to full width, taps are not working at all(although quick menu menu is working while battclock is set to fullwidth - qm has its own overrider for area of logo);

- changes in "separators", and "registry keys" are giving weird effects: i.e. "call" works, "calls" give effect in 0callsms, etc etc, looks like config applet bug, not soft itself.

It was about independence from system font, i bet that effects may be VERY interesting, quick example of effect(drawn in ps):

.

...nicer, than tahoma, imho, eh?

Notice, that it is very good occasion to set VERY narrow fonts, to pack more data on taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Probably the first item is a feature, the second one I will look into. If the registry is not there, the area will not be updated (only an error message logged when debug logging is on).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Yes. Significantly. One problem - to check the words fits on the screen (Russian longest than English:))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Because no one provided translations yet for PLK :(

PLK is the same as Polish?

Maybe you can provide them :D

See Excel spreadsheet here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I tried to give as much as space possible for the texts. I even revisited some screens, to have as much as horizontal space. And for longer texts I did made the font smaller. But we will see. I will provide them in a next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will look into it, because yes, this will bring BattClock to a next level. And I will learn something from it :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
hmm, so having plk lang file(to set program GUI to plk) will provide using plk names for days? I mean lack of localization is forcing program to use WWE for day names as program is naturally set to WWE, yes?

I'll think about that localization, then.

It could enable users to use every single windows font in system-friendly way(it's same thing as font chg in ebookreader, or word).

Notice, that it is very good occasion to set VERY narrow fonts, to pack more data on taskbar, too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

so as every time. Good working software from you. Ok it's have the DP sign.

DP = Dutch Proved

You are to fast with the updates, uff.

Buurman (NL) jij bent te snel met de updates. Ik kom niet meer mee :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
All right, first beta of PL(PLK = Polish) translation from nothin(it's me, after losing my prev. account here...and there..well..).

I need to see this in action to make further progress.

Many interesting things are there in that lang file, damn(i think i lack too many sensors in my device to realize what i am looking at).

btw, some options are not working on my device, but it is not a problem(things such like Battery Temperature, Battery Current, etc.). I wonder, if program is still trying to measure these data, if not asked(i mean is sensory.dll still probing these, or not)? I need to minimise battery drain, you know(thus i am not saying i have drain now)...

Lovely soft.

http://i43.tinypic.com/bdp3zo.jpg

upd: hmm i am trying to use meter to show phone balance(cash left) - i am using little app that writes info about it to reg, bsbalance;

Data taken from string is not adequate to real value, it shows me long, weird number.

why's that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Thank you for a very nice update :)

I've attached a picture to show what it looks like on my HD2 now.

Also thank you for making it so easy to copy the settings for landscape mode... really simple to adjust now.

I've configured my date line to show the week number at the end. It's actually the only piece of software on my HD2 that can tell me which week it is. Thanks again... GREAT WORK!

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaguaralani:
Version 2 is really awesome !

Wonderful job mate !

Only one buf so far ( on LEO )

It seems that I just can't colorize some items ( Battery % ), even if I set the colour to any, it just stays gray :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Try to press the buttons called "low", "medium" & "high" and adjust those colours.

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaguaralani:
Ha Ha Ha Ha ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anoano:
Battery Temperature and Battery Current also don’t work on my Mio A201, maybe because it’s WM5. Other content is OK.

Everything is OK on my HTC Kaiser WM 6.1.

Anyway, thank you very much to the developer for this great app with lots of customization possibilities.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The tranlations are for BattConfig only. The day names are available in WM, but unfortunately wcsftime does not use the current locale :mad:

I am able to get the correct names with GetLocalInfo, so I am going to do a trick. When in a date/time format the day/month name is requested, I just once get the current name for the current locale. And that works (on my Dutch mobile) :rolleyes:

I looked into it, by default only a few fonts are installed. And getting a list of fonts is also not easy in C# for .NET CF. If someone knows how to do it :confused:. The fonts can be in Windows, Windows\Fonts or on my Dutch mobile even under Windows\Lettertypen.

So getting the available fonts is a problem. The most easy way is just the option to specify a Font name. The user has then to know the font name (and make no typos :cool:

Charging icon not working...

Thank you for this lovely software...

The only malfuntion I have is that battery status

does not change when charging.

Any idea ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
I am trying to configure the clock to show seconds...

and I am unable to find the code for the hours.

I know M:S will show minutes and seconds, but I have tried

all remaining letters for the hour without being lucky.

I know W wil show week number, b the name of the month,

m the number of the month, y the number of year...

What for the hour, please ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Because %H gives one hour mire than the system...

....and %G gives one hour less....

Thank you....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
great, 4 items in a row (day name+date, batt percentage, h:mm:ss, free MB):D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
It looks like it is a problem in the battery driver or ROM. Someone else reported the same problem. I do not have this problem, so it is not due to the BattClock itself, but the underlying components BattClock uses. So I am afraid I cannot do anything on it :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, it looks there is a bug in %H, it is not taking the day savings time into account (a bug in BattClock), so it can indeed be one hour off. I could reproduce the problem and I have a local fix. I will post the bug fix release as soon as possible.

%G I do not know, and it looks it does not work on my phone WM6.1. Maybe it is the Greenwich time? In what timezone are you, with respect to UTC.

Anyway, %H should work, after my fix (at least it did with my phone).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Nice screenshot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for the translations :) I will post them in the update (probably this evening). This update will also fix the localization problem of Day and Month names.

BattClock can only show registry keys which are a DWORD, so not string values. So therefore you see the weird number.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Battery Temperature and Current not shown is not related to WM5 but it is more related if your battery driver supports it :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillysquid:
Hi,

I really like the logging feature ... is it possible to log running applications (ie opening and closing)and wifi state etc ?

also would it be possible to automatically start a new log file for each day? rather than one large file (as the file is now too large to import).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
A small tip... if you set Windows Mobile to display the time in the taskbar instead of the battery which is default it will create more space for your BattClock area so that you can use bigger fonts.

At least that's how it works on my HD2 (WM6.5). :)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Great tip :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The wifi state can already be monitored via the regkey option:

the value will contain the following bit masked properties:

2 - WiFiStatePowerOn

8 - WiFiStateConnecting

16 - WiFiStateConnected

Starting/Destroying processes is only possible if I go to monitor them all. I am planning to look into a different CPU measuring, and then this would be possible. So I put it on the wish list.

Making a BattClock.csf file per day I will put on the wish list too. But I would expect there is no limit in copying files from your phone via ActiveSync to your computer :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
19-4-2010 BattClock Version 2.0.1

# Fixed bug that daylight saving time was not handled correctly in new DateTime format strings

# Made workaround for wcsftime, so the Day and Month names are using the default localization strings

# Added Hebrew translations, thanks to Som30ne

# Added Polish translations, thanks to pupakota alias nothin

# Updated Russian translations, thanks to Vadim Bogaiskov
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillysquid:
Thats great ... thanks very much.

The problem I had with the single file is that when I tried to import it into OpenOffice to read it said their were too many entries (they add up pretty quick! the csv file is about 5mb!) so it was just an idea to keep the file sizes smaller.

edit: I've attached a log file generated from another app Ive used in the past that had a similar feature called battlog it shows the apps opening and closing against the power consumption etc.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hey

Have you thought about making it run as a service instead, so it dont use one of the proses slots??

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Thank you for new version.....

The problem I had with %H is gone and my clock

shows a beatifull %H:M:S I could not live without.

But the bug with the icon when charging has improved

a little bit as follows: battery charge is shown below

the clock. Say 60%. Now I connect the charger. It says

60 and the icon changes from % to the other that looks

like a curved dash... Everything ok so far...BUT IF I add

a new line of information RELATED to the battery...the

charging icon reverts to %...If I add any other kind of

infirmation, not battery related, the charging icon stays.

Funny...isn'it ???

One more thing, if you please...

When a clock is to show H:M:S it should be taken into

account that the calculations and drawings need some two good seconds....

or even 3 if it is an analog one.

I would like you to add those 2 secondsl to %S...if it were feasible...

Thanks so much !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Could you please tell how to do that in my HD2 ?

Thanks so much...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Clock on taskbar...already. Thanks

I have installed Advanced Configuration, so no need for answering me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have read about the Services initiative, but because the hassle of debugging and the understanding of the Service programming, I never made it in that direction. I am also afraid I will get into hardreset while developing it as a service, so I still do not have much appetite to go into that direction. Although there are already some good examples of Services.

If everyone makes their programs a Service, there is for sure 1 slot available for this tiny program :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ah, you spotted a small bug. I use 2 different API's for the battery, and I check the wrong ACLIne status field when the other battery meters are shown. Then indeed it will always show the percentage sign and not the tilde as indication it is charging. I will fix that in a next update.

My question is also, if the battery percentage increments in both situations while charging, or is this still a problem :confused:

I was playing around with some new features:

- changing font name and enumerating installed fonts for selection

- possibility to have a gradient filled background (select left and right color and have it gradient filled horizontal or vertical)

For both I have a proof of concept, so maybe I go to add that in a next update too. But that needs more development work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
So you are saying that the analog clock is not fast enough and that BattClock is too fast in updates :rolleyes:

Maybe you should ask the author of the Analog clock to make it speedier ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
About the clock...

I did not make myself understood....

I think that when a piece of software grabs the seconds data, say at 12.00.00 and goes on whith the rest of calculations the program is intended to perfom ...and finally DRAWS what it was meant for....it turnsout that time is now 12.00.02 in the case of BATT CLOCK and 12.00.03 in the case of other clocks such as those used in CoOkies mask.

So I think perhaps the seconds data OBTEINED at 12.00.00, when grabbing the time, should be modified by S=S+2...

Keep the good work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
There can be some lag between battclock's seconds and the system clock's seconds, but it doesn't have to be 2 seconds always.

In my case, the lag is usually within 1 second, but occasionally, after some heavy usage of the phone, it can be up to 3 or 4 seconds and has to be reset to normal by a device reboot, or restart of battclock.

Hello

Great application. Been using for a while.

Unable to download. Can you post it in rapidshare please.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You should just be able to download it here.

If you go to http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BDownloads.html#6, make sure you refresh your browser to have the latest page, maybe an old one is cached.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Oh dear...it goes without saying..

...that all messages I have sent dealing with the delay

in the time shown by analog and digital clocks had the

mistake of assigning the wrong time...

I ment than when system time is 12.00.03....analog shows moon.

And so shows the digital when it is 12.00.02.

But of course !!!

Jejejeje....the effects of 17 hours on dutty are evident...

Those words saying that analog was ahead 3 but digital

only 2....has been echoing in ny head ....UNTI L NOW !!!

JAJAJAJA. HSIMB !!!

Probelm with the hebrew translation

Hi.

The hebrew text seems to be hidden under the +/- sign field.

(Does the field extends under the +/- button area ?)

See attaced Image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] enping:
just dled battclock... great app man... but i have a couple of qns... what's the difference bwt batt current and batt current force?

also is there anyway to get battclock to work with the cookie home tab lock screen? currently it's showing me the default batt meter instead of battclock...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yeah, I reused a .NET control, but the buttons for selecting next/previous were too small. So I did put 2 larger buttons on top of the control :rolleyes:

The disadvantage is indeed that the alignment might give the problem you did indicate, whereas there is still plenty room at the left. :(

Probably it is just better to use a readonly Text control and just fill the information when pressing +/-. I will think about it. I also need another way to have other information accessible (Fontnames), so there I also need to move to another approach, e.g. a button instead of the list control.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
15 = CLOCKINFO_BATTERY_CURRENT_FORCE, as Battery Current but non-cached values are asked the Battery Driver. Dependent on the Battery Driver the info can be more up-to-date but can also drain more battery.

You mean it is not showing on top of the screen? Probably lock screen is a full screen application, so it is not showing at the windows taskbar?

Currently BattCLock subclasses the taskbar, if BattClock could subclass the lock screen, it could be shown on top of that. But then it would not be shown when not on the Lock screen. Is that what you want?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
Co0kies lock screen does not use/show the task/status bar of windows.

it hoggs the whole screen and draws it by itself.

(Co0kies lock screen dosnt show the "bell" reminder indicator as well,

and that's the reason I dont use the co0kie lock screen)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
The example I brought here - is still somewhat usable, but there are elements with shorter name - that all you see is the last character - and - well - that makes it pretty much unusable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
If we are in the process of explaining fields

What does the "circular" mean ?

(After the explanation of the "Battery current force" - I would submit a corrected hebrew translation, so if We're at it - maybe some more clarifications would be nice, and improve the translation)

-- I would ask if any more fields are unclear to me.

Edit ::

Another thing about that "Circular" -

It appears in the "Content" configuration screen

and in the "Others" configuration screen.

What does it mean in the first (Content) screen - and what does in mean in the second (Others) screen?

Is it the same ? (If so - why in two different configurations ?)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Next version of Cookie's home tab will have an option not to cover the taskbar on the lock screen... this according to the author of CHT. Just wait until the new version of CHT is released and you'll be able to see Battclock again.

Just out of curiosity... IS it possible for Battclock to always be on top?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
That is because Hebrew will align right by default.

I will change the use of those controls, overlapped with buttons. Then it should be solved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
TouchLockPro has this option, when locked, to force once per 5 seconds to go on top. But this might give strange effects, when the other window will also try to stay on top. So for battclock this does not sound a good direction.

However, I am planning to make it possible to configure the window to subclass (default HHTaskbar), so people can also put it on top of a home window. At least people can experiment with it :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the first screen, you can configure 6 items although you only want to show e.g. 2 items at the same time. When circular is set to 2, it will show items 2 till 6 in a circular fashion.

In the Others tab you can configure how long (in seconds as stated in the Others form) an item will be shown, before moving to the next circular item.

BattClock 2.0.1 CPU Usage

Hi!

Neat little tool, which has always been low on ressource demand:). However, now I have upgraded 1.6 to 2.0.1 and found that CPU use is apparently "exploding":( . It seems that with time the CPU level increases from 2.5% (HTC Touch Pro) to 5.0% and above. Is some sort of recursive loop active? This is of course hard on the performance of other programs and the battery. On my display is Time, Date and battery% with 3 colors.

Do you need any other info for diagnostics?

Cheers

Anders
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I cannot confirm this. on my Touch Diamond it is 0.00% and sometime for a small moment 0.09 for date/time and Battery% shown. This is checked with FdcSoft taskManager. Did you also log to file?

You can enable debug logging and post the debug log file, maybe that gives me a clue if something is wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Som30ne:
Great.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Attached an updated Hebrew translation.

(It would most likely still be aligned to the right, and some (short) titles would not be visible)
