btw.. i put all my icon on my storage card not in the phone memory... and it is all in PNG size 96x96 most of the icon is bluemetalaxe HD icon...

I think we should all put our $money$ together and buy Tronikos a device. What do you guys and gals think?

What device is on your wish list Mr. Tronikos?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
chancer63,

Good to know. Yeah, results will vary depending on the amount of alpha transparency in the icons used. I tested the 160 value with the icon style included with iPhoneToday 1.4.6 and the iReflect style (which 1.4.7 includes), both of which use alpha transparency only on the outer edges, so there's no problem. The battery icon that I see you using has alpha transparency throughout, so it makes sense what you're seeing. Icons with alpha transparency on more than just the edges are going to have problems with the "Alpha blend on black" option. If they're consistent (ex. all icons have the identical glass look as your battery icon), you should be able to find a threshold value that is low enough to not disturb more than just the edges, though the quality of the alpha blending on the corners will be a lot less. The thing to take away from all of this is that the threshold value that you choose depends on the icon set(s) being used. Most sets that emulate an iPhone look (solid icons with alpha transparency only on the edges), which most people will likely be using, however, ought to work well with a 160-ish value.

schlork,

MioPocket's MiniBar has an icon on the far right that allows you to collapse the MiniBar to a single icon. The script to do that is MioAutoRun\Scripts\MiniBar-Collapse.mscr, so if you want to have an icon in iPhoneToday do the collapsing, you can set it to that.

Lexan,

It's in settings.xml. Look for <ShowExit>. If it's not there, re-download 1.4.7, as tronikos re-uploaded it with that feature and you may still have the first version.

tronikos,

1.4.7 is awesome. Great job.

A couple of very minor things that have existed in all versions:

1. Have you noticed that all of the text labels are 1-2 pixels left of the center of the icons? It doesn't appear to be a quirk at a specific icon size, since I've tried several, or the icon image being off-centered in the .png, which I've checked. Perhaps you could find where iPhoneToday determines where the center of the label is supposed to be and adjust it to the right 1-2 pixels.

2. On PNDs, the background of the Options dialog is white, while the border and tabs are the expected gray. Is it possible for you to make the white gray? It may well be aygshell.dll that's doing it, but both versions in MioPocket do it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's out of your control, but I mention it in case it isn't. Here's a screenshot:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J_Hutt:
Yes correct, dll version

I see a very brief flash of the pressed icon graphic...but usually it doesnt work 2nd or 3rd press. And doesnt stay 'pressed' state during long press, like when the 'disable right click' option is not selected.

And have tested on EXE version of IPT, same behaviour.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hey Osprey,

Thanks a ton for your suggestion. I tried all and yes i can feel little improvement. I am using ASUS P320 which has a 200MHZ processor with 64MB RAM. I feel this is the culprit :(

Thanks again for your help... Keep up the good work..

Anyways i will keep installing, testing and try to work on newer versions.

Keep it up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devil_82:
i sad to hear that....i have a x51v spare one. if you don mind to pay for the shipping, i can ship it to you for your testing... ;)

Hi

Thanks, Great improvements :D

I have a funny issue: no matter how I change the bubble_state icon, I always get the default one (I'm using the exe version). I changed the link in options/bubbles too and nothing :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaguaralani:
I was a big fan of this software when I had my Blackstone, it worked like charm, very smooth, non laggy gestures, but now on the LEO, the transition of the icon screens is so laggy, I tried it on many ROMs, official and Cooked, any ideas ?

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
you need to play with the transition setting... this one got more option and advanced then the previous one...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] homertv:
so nice to have chance to try this interface,

thank you so much for your kind sharing!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I love the new version, it is very fast and smooth. If I could make a request to have the option to make the state bubble more circular instead of oval, I found a circular one I wanted to use but when I selected it, it became stretched. A small insignificant request for a virtually perfect app. thanks for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laurent512:
Hi ,

Thanks for this apps, it's a really great job that you do...

But I have a question:

I would like to know how to replace the mon/tue/wed/thu... which are displayed on the calendar icon.

In french the word would have been lun/mar/mer/jeu/ven/sam/dim

I guess that those words (mon/tue/wed/thu... ) are writen in a files but i would like to know which one contains them to replace it

Thanks !

Ps : Sorry for my bad english but it isn't my native tongue

hi,

does it work fine with htc hd2 ?

g
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
yup... it work fine...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
1. I just fixed it. All the text labels are drawn inside a rectangular with a center alignment. For the text under the icons the left of the rectangular is: icon.x - icon.width / 2 while the right is: icon.x + icon.width + icon.width / 2. The problem was that these floats were being converted to integers by cutting their decimal points while they should have beeen rounded to the nearest integers.

2. This hasn't existed in all versions. You should see how bad it looked from v1.4.0 till v1.4.3. I'll see if I can make it gray for the PND version.

Thank you for your offers. I might consider adding a donation button. But as I said earlier the one who deserves to be donated is MiToNiOeS the original author of iPhoneToday. He has a donate button in his thread.

devil_82,

If you are really sure that you do not need your spare x51v then why keeping it in the drawer collecting dust? I would be happy to take it. :) I always wanted a WM device. If you haven't changed your mind PM me. Shipping shouldn't be much. With insured USPS it shouldn't be more than $10.

Yes I am planning to make the bubbles configurable (position, size, text, etc.). If you haven't noticed I moved the current bubble configuration in its each own dialog in options to have space for the new settings.

In the next release it will be using the Windows system locale to print the days of the week so it should not be necessary to modify the XML, unless you want them to appear in a language other than your system locale.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gplock:
will this work for TP2

???????????????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Endless possabilities.

I don't know if this would be possible- but imagine if individual "icons" could be adjustable as far as their height and width. Because then you could reproduce any sort of UI with iPT. It wouldn't be limited to looking like the iPhone. You could recreate a Windows Phone 7 series look, or an Android look- or anything for that matter. Don't know if it could be implemented- just thought I would mention it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nheric:
Thanks tronikos for your great work... this app become the best of the best :)

questions :

- where is the text shadow option ?

- are you plan for a total localized version (settings pages)

- could you add a rounded (or not) background for icon text ? (like andoid)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssfortes:
Great work, I use it since version 1.3, thank you for continuing development.

I miss a notice of state "call forwarding", I think it would be very useful and not too complicated, simply check the registry value "\HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\callforwarding

It would also be interesting to study the possibility of including the name of the month in calendar, but maybe this would be very small ...

It would be really great!!!! :confused::D:cool:

Then this program would have super functions!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Sorry not in my plans.

1. For now it cannot be set in any dialog. You'll have to manually edit the settings.xml.

2. Not in the near future.

3. It doesn't look hard to implement it so I might give it a try.

It sounds better but not any easier to implement it...

It is possible but it won't be as fast as the current pressed icon implementation.

This requires a lot of work and there are already plenty of widgets available as today plugins. I guess you could have them in the SecondToday and launch SecondToday when the icons are out of screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
No problem. Thanks for the reply. And thanks for putting so much time and effort into this project.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meirh18:
The latest release seems to have degraded the quality of some of the icons. The Mar 6 release was fine. Now it has black dots in the middle of some of them. Also the pressed icon feature is not working for me, I am using the PND version on a MAgellan MAestro 4370. The animation is also very choppy, although that may be connected to a GAPI mismatch.

Otherwise, great work! Thanks Tronik(os)!

Hi All!

Im found iPhone theme named Glasklart for WinterBoard (yeh, because this is iPhoneToday :)), download glasklart_3.7.1_iphoneos-arm.deb package, unpak it by 7-zip.

Go to Library/Themes/Glasklart Icons.theme/Icons and you can found 5116 *.png files for different iPhone applications in one 'glass' style!

Unfortunally, all PNG icons with 59x62 pixels size, but after iPT resizing it up to 96(and 112) pixels it steel looks great!

Even you not satisfied icon resolutions, you can make by self, look on Glasklart forum with tutorials and *.psd templates.

My screenshots (resized to 240x320):

a. with iPT->Options->Transparent->Alpha blend on background

b. with iPT->Options->Transparent->Alpha blend on black

MiToNiOeS, many thanks for great application!

tronikos , many thanks for taking maintenance and enhance this project!

Do you planning support something, like themes, to changing themes 'on the fly'?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
@lition00; Nice curve on the bottom icons. Only problem is you are stuck with those icons in that location only. But looks really cool.

@Everyone; Sorry I have been gone for so long; I got the Motorola Backflip (Android) last Sunday and it has taken all of my time (trying to unlock it and such). So I am way behind on what is going on here. So if anything needs to be fixed/updated or added to the FAQ's or install guide, please PM me, or I may never see the it is needed.

BTY amazing work and development on the project. Plus it is nice to see so many people helping the new users with questions (without flaming them in the process) which is a breath of fresh air. Thank you

Hi, if you want to have weather as icoms in iPhoneToday, I suggest you give a try at IPTWeather. Please find the link to it into my signature. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
@j101399j

Nice you are back and yes there had been many changes inbetween. Best you see at the download page.

@lition00

changing themes would not be that problem at all. Everything is defined by settings.xml and icons.xml. So change this two files, will change the theme.

Depending on what tronikos plans are, this can of course be done automatically e.g. via mortscript.

@tronikos

But what about putting each theme in a seperate folder in iPhoneToday folder including icons and settings/icons.xml and you can change Theme(folder) via options?

Mhh strange...no battery probems on my phone (signature).

I use iPT in the manila today page tab and no problems since 3 days....

See screenshot of iPT with mtp 0.4.1.0 withe some new test buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
1. Does your PND have the imaging API with PNG support? Check whether your \Windows\ceconfig.h includes the following line:

#define IMAGING_IMG_PNG 1

If it doesn't then iPhoneToday is using the imgdecmp.dll (included in the PND version) that supports PNG but doesn't support transparency. Due to the lack of any transparency information I used the color of the lower left corner as transparent.

The next release however will support transparent png images under any Windows CE system without relying on the imaging API that is often missing. It will be using a very light-weight png load library (it just adds 6KB) that supports transparent PNG images. It will be used if the imagnig API is not available.

2. GAPI has nothing to do with it. Everything in iPhoneToday is GDI based. Make sure that you haven't enabled AlphaBlend since most PNDs don't natively support it.

I added a donation link on the google code page.

Having no device I cannot upload any video. I guess you could test it yourself under the device emulator as I do...

Unfortunately no. For efficiency reasons icons and text of each page are pre-drawn on an empty device context that is later copied to the device context of the visible window that has the background image.

I might consider this.

Hi J.

good to see you're back :-)

with that new alpha blend technics in iPT 1.4 and the issues with scrolling "on devices which have no natively support this" I think it would be nice to have a list of devices that support alpha blending natively.

I tried googling such a list, but as this alpha blend graphics tech talk is all greek to me, not too much avail I'm afraid.

Is anyone in this thread who could shed some light?

Hi MiToNiOeS,

i can make a video with MyMobiler or an other medium. Please tell me what i will see what i can do for you....

One thing.. iPT is running as plaug-in in MTP. Because i have not so much icons, but 6 screens, sound and NO

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
All WM5+ devices natively support AlphaBlend.

It's missing from most Pocket Navigation Devices that run Windows CE core. The users of such devices can check whether their coredll.dll exports the AlphaBlend function or alternatively whether their \Windows\ceconfig.h includes the following line:

#define GWES_MGALPHABLEND 1

If you don't get any warning message when you enable the alphablend option then your device supports AlphaBlend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
It's true, and it's a great thing. I've voticed a strange thing, anyway:

- With old IPT my GWES usage (recorded with SkTools) was 16.3 Mb at startup

- With 1.48, static background, no Alpha, it's 15.6

- With 1.48, transparent background, no Alpha, it's 13.6

- With 1.48, transparent back, Alpha enabled, it's 6.9, but Manila.exe goes to 19.5

So seems i have a great saving in GWES but a huge charge on Manila.exe with Alpha enabled; but at the same time, scrolling is slow and, if i use vertical scrolling gesture, Manila (Sense 2.5) crashes (i use IPT with ManilaToday, so as Manila tab; my device is a Blackstone)

Enabling

enabling "Alpha blend on background (experimental)"

slows Movement down a lot. I haven't fiddled around with the movement settings after enabling though, as I don't need that function.
