Well that's why I made it configurable in the settings. And in my case where the Axim is docked into the cradle all the time, the battery doesn't matter. By the way, is it really necessary to Poll for notification updates all the time, I guess that's not that good for a phone's battery as well. Isn't there any microsoft api with a push method. I thought I read something about that some time ago.

Something I thought about too. I guess I would make some more configuration settings, that let one define to have the backlight switched on only for specific notifications (e.g. new mails, missed calls, etc.) or let you choose to switch on the backlight only if there are appointments within the next few hours/days and not for all appointments.

The main reason to write this patch was that I plan to integrate a socket interface to the AVM Fritzbox for visualization of missed calls. And as I already wrote some time ago, it would be much more easy to use the Axim as a communication center, if important notifications are visible from distance instead of having to switch on the PDA('s backlight) and check for new events everytime. I released the patch because I thought it might be useful for other users with PDAs too. As already mentioned mobile phones may not gain much use of it, but that's why it's configurable.

I already thought about writing a complete application for that, but the iPhoneToday app was something that runs great on the axim anyway and additionally it makes the PDA much easier to use.

BTW. Did you thought about having a list of applications that should receiver a WM_CLOSE event when they are minimized and the iPhoneToday app becomes active again? That would decrease the need for an extra task manager and making it configurable won't hurt applications that should stay alive in the background. With an x51v with only 64MB RAM such a feature could be very helpful.

For anyone interested,

I liked the look of the following iPhone wallpaper...

...so I split it into two scalable textures for iPhoneToday, first by creating a tileable version of the wood for the bottom bar (right-click to save)...

...and, second, by creating a much larger (480x640) rendition of the top part. The resolution is too high to include here, even as an attachment, so here's the direct link (follow the link, then right-click to save):

Wallpaper image

Set the first as the background for the "Bottombar" on the "Screen" tab and the second as the wallpaper on the "Wallpaper" tab. For best results, ensure for both that "Fit width" and "Fit height" are disabled and that "Tile" is enabled, as well as that, on the "Wallpaper" tab, "Static" is disabled and that "Zooming factor" is set to 1.000.

EDIT: I've also created a "glass" look that goes with the wallpaper (same settings apply as for the wood one)...

EDIT #2: Here's the same glass look without the wallpaper text, for people who prefer black wallpaper, like on the iPhone...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
I am using registry notifications. Polling is used only when registry notifications are not supported (WM2003 and PNDs).

I would recommend writing a separate application.

I don't think such a feature should be part of iPT. A separate application would be better. Check first if any of the many available task managers already support such a feature.

missed call

ciao a tutti vorrei sapere come posso vedere le chiamate perse sul mio diamond wm 6.5 iphone today 1.5.2 l'icona segna la chiamata persa ma non mi apre il registro chiamate. qualcuno ha una soluzione grazie a tutti ciao

Hello everyone let me know how I can see missed calls on my Diamond WM 6.5 1.5.2 iphone today marks the missed call icon, but I open the call log. someone has a solution thanks to all hello
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
You know what would be sweet, if you added the ability to assign a program for a single tap and a different program for a double tap. IE: Phone icon... setup the single tap to go to the CProg phone and a double tap to go to the VOIP dialer like PortSIP.

Another feature request... for the unread email count... add the ability to choose specific email accounts, not just Sync and Other.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
Really? When I debugged the application, it seems to me that the notifications where updated quite often. But maybe registry notifications where send each time, I haven't checked it in detail

For me the simplest solution will be to add it directly to the iPhoneToday plugin. That's why I will do it this way. But I guess there's no need to provide a patch for this in this forum.

Well perhaps there are such solutions, but since iPhoneToday knows about what application has been started using it, and when the iPhoneToday plugin itself becomes active again, it would make sense to me to integrate it into the plugin itself instead of searching for a taskmanager doing it.

But if there's no interest for something like that I won't publish it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Yeah, this would be great, especially if there were icon backgrounds (just like in Manila). Maybe I'm wrong with the speed issue when alpha-blending icons to icon backgrounds, but I hope not).

Or even displaying a context menu to launch different apps, for example with a bluetooth icon, tapping on it displays a menu consisting of "Toogle on/off", "Make visible" and "Settings", would be really useful.

Anyway keep it up tronikos, you're really doing a great job :)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namwollem:
Me too!

Make that an extra vote for that feature from me too! I currently have email accounts with Yahoo and O2, so the ability to see which account the unread emails are from would be great! (At present both my icons will display the same number, and I never know which one has actually got the mails!)

Tray Icon remover.

Hi,

I looove iPhoneToday (see my youtube link in my signature), but when I start copilot or iGo8 and go back with the home button, I always get the tray icon on the bottom.

This kind of annoys me. It screws up the today screen.

Anyone knows how to get rid of these "tray icons" ?

Tnx !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
1. I might consider this in the future.

2. I use the following registry paths for emails: HKCU\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread\Count and HKCU\System\State\Messages\Sync\Unread\Count. If you know any other ones let me know.

1. Notice in PollingUpdate the !dwHrNotify etc.

2. I am afraid that such a feature won't be useful for the majority of the users and it will confuse most of them. I guess it would be more useful to turn on the backlight for some seconds or play a sound but I believe there are other apps that can do this.

3. iPhoneToday doesn't know the window handle of the launched application. I believe you will have to use CreateProcess instead of ShellExecuteEx.

4. Please don't misunderstand me. I don't want to discourage you from publishing any patches.

Everyone,

Attached you can find 1.5.3 beta2. Please report any bugs that you might find.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

I see that you implemented support for all 10 charging levels. Very nice. The reason why I made only a generic charging icon and a fully charged icon is that I wasn't sure whether you were going to add battery level support at all and, even if you did, to make it easier for you. You went the distance, though, so here are the battery level sets with all 10 charging levels for you to include in the next release. The BatteryAC and BatteryCharging versions in the old set are no longer necessary, of course.

BTW, I see that you like the set with the silver border. I prefer that one, too, since it matches the included blank used for the clock. If you'd like to include it as a blank, here it is, along with another variation:

In fact, you could even rename the current Blank.png to BlankOlive.png (or something) and the black one to Blank.png so that the clock uses the black one, as well. People might prefer that to the olive one and it would make the clock and battery icons match. It's up to you... just some ideas.

Ok, I just tested the beta release. Very nice! The placement of the text is just perfect. Great job. Have you considered the possibility of including a % sign, now that you have the room?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Hello guys,

Can someone explain to me how to make the battery icon thing work?

Thanks,

Jeannette
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
jeanne8fr,

First, in icons.xml, change the image for your battery icon to "Battery\Battery80.png" (or any image from the new icon set should work). Next, in settings.xml, remove the "<Battery..." line so that iPT re-creates it with the settings that are correct for this release (mainly the text placement, I believe). Of course, if you're just copying this iPT release without installing it, make sure to copy the icons\Battery folder so that the images are available. Also, if you want to add the various charging levels that I just did, unzip the Battery Levels.zip that I posted just above you and copy the contents of "With Background #1" to icons\Battery.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Than you. Working great.

J.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

What do you think about doing the same thing with the volume icon? Here are some icons that I've whipped up in case you want to give it a go...

EDIT: I'm noticing that other people are downloading the attachment with all of them in it. FYI, there's really not much point, since I don't believe that there's any current way of cycling through them with scripts, even. If you're simply looking for a nicer single icon to replace the one currently included with iPhoneToday, it's easier to just right-click and save the one that you want (most probably the far right one).

EDIT #2: Updated with a "vibrate" level, per request.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Cool stuff, thanks heaps for all your efforts Osprey. Do you, by any chance, feel like adding a vibrate icon as well, in case tronikos decides to support it? Even, if not natively supported, I guess some script tuning should do the trick and make use of these icons ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
Sir.John,

I'm a PNA user, so I don't have any familiarity with the vibrate feature. I wouldn't know what icons to make (especially how many and how they should be visually different) unless you explain it for me. I'll also wait on tronikos for that one. If he feels that it's useful enough, I'll try to help out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Hi Osprey,

thanks for taking the time to consider and answer.

As you spoke of "cycling through ... volume" On PDA's the regular "volume cycle" includes a (singular) "vibrate" stage as a first step above mute. To put it in order you would cycle like this:

mute-vibrate-10%-20%-...-100%

A pattern regularily used to impersonate Vibration in icons, picutes and the lot is are two paralell jagged lines, most of the times vertically ordered, not so often horizontally (despite the mismatching number in my examples included ;-)).

kind regards,

John

Tronik -

Thanks for the Beta. Works gr8. I can't get lockscreentoday to load using the new exe. Any idea why. Are multiple instances not allowed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
Sir.John,

Oh, I totally misunderstood you, then. I thought that you were asking for a whole set of new icons for something else, which would've been a lot of work. Of course, what you really asked for was much simpler and very easy to do, especially since you provided examples; thanks for that. See my original post. I've updated it and the zip with the new image. I can't say if tronikos will make use of it if he even does volume level cycling, but at least it's available.

meirh18,

It works fine for me. I'm guessing that you forgot that you need to use Resource Hacker to change the ID string. Attached is the .exe with that simple change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Brilliant! Thanks heaps for that. Much appreciated :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meirh18:

Hi Tronikos,

Checking the 1.5.3 beta2 version and is working great. One thing:

While adding or editing an icon, kindly sort the Type dropdown in ascending order alphabetically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Thanks tronikos, 1.5.3 works great!!!

Osprey,

first of all thanks for all the very good icons and wallpapers, but I need your advice. I followed your description for adding wallpaper and Bottombar a few posts before. It is looking perfect good, but the icons are looking worse (see picture). Is this dependend on my device, respectively, is there anything I can do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Birger:
Nobody?

I attached some screenshots ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Check the PercentageSymbol in settings.xml.

Done. Check attachment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raja'i:
I just wanna contobute with 2 suggestions

if i may help

- if u could do a page for saving and restoring options

i mean exporting the settings in one botton

and importing them by another botton

aother thing,,i dont have an idea of the content, but maybe u can also make a several preconfigured sets of settings "for specific devices, specific sets of icons etc"

- also u could make an update page, which checks the program version and compare it with the server one, and giving the option to download the update from mobile
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
@ Osprey

Thanks for the beautiful icons for battery :), can you please make volume icons with no background too ?

@ Tronikos

Thanks for making it possible and solving all the issues I reported earlier :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
I was wondering same thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
schlork,

I'm guessing that you're using "Alpha blend on black." Remember that you're going to have some issues like that with that mode. The closer to black that the background is, the better that the icons will look against it. I'm guessing that your new background is lighter in many areas than your old one. You can try adjusting the "alpha threshold" (the 0-255 value that governs "Alpha blend on black") or enable one of the "Alpha blend on background" modes. Personally, I use an alpha threshold of 160 and the icons look ok against the same background that you're using now.

tronikos,

1. I figured that it would be quick to do, but that was very quick. Nice job.

2. Yeah, I figured out PercentageSymbol on my own yesterday and meant to edit that sentence out of my post, but forgot. Thanks, anyways.

3. I've noticed that, when I remove my old <Battery> and <Volume> tags from settings.xml, iPT doen't replace them when it loads or when it exits. It wasn't until I went into Options and immediately exited that, saving changes, that the tags were added back to settings.xml. Is it feasible to have that happen while iPT is loading and while exiting, since that's what I think most users would expect?

jeanne8fr and everyone else wanting to try out the volume levels,

The instructions for modifying the icons.xml and settings.xml are almost identical to what I wrote above for battery levels: change the volume/speaker icon in icons.xml to one of the new ones, then delete the "<Volume..." line from settings.xml.

tito12 and Lex@n,

Sure. I didn't before simply because I wasn't sure if tronikos was going to implement support for them. Here you go, including ones set against the "Background #2" of my battery levels:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

If you'd like a RAM icon that goes with the battery and volume ones, here's one (plus the same alternate versions for other people):

(Believe me, that reflection, unlike the other icons, was not easy :))

By moving the text to the top third of the icon, you would have room to add "MB" to the end of the value. You could also maybe add "Free" in the bottom third (maybe in a smaller font), if you want (or I could burn it into the icon, if you ask me to). Also, instead of doing RAM level cycling with images (since I'm not sure how that could be represented), what about simply cycling the color of the text value from red to orange to yellow to green, maybe based on percentage of total memory free? Maybe that would be too CPU intensive--I don't know--it's just an idea.

EDIT: Ok, I thought about it some more and figured that I could just take the levels from the battery images to make cyclable RAM images. I still don't know if you want to bother with this or if implementing it is a good idea, but in case so, here are some icons that you can use, if you want:

EDIT #2: I came up with another style, one that less resembles the battery icons. Take your pick of whichever style you like best... if you decide to do RAM cycling at all, that is.

EDIT #3: Since I like to tinker, I've been experimenting with other, similar ideas and came up with three other options. I'll just link one image from each this time. All are in the zip. I really don't know which of the five I like best. If you decide to do RAM cycling, the choice is yours.

Hi Tronikos,

Thanks for implementing the volume icon. I have a question. I use execute --volume:++20 command. The volume cycles from 0,20,40,60,100 but doesn't go to vibrate. Is it possible to cycle it as Mute, Vibrate, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

Secondly it cycles only the system volume and not the ringer volume. Is it possible to cycle both the system and ringer together?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Herunim:
Hi tronikos,

First of all, thanks for your app. It makes me keep my HTC HD instead of buying an iPhone (going to the dark side of the force).

For all the 'state' icons (like Alarm clock, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPRS) would it be possible to set 2 icons : one for ON and one for OFF or to use the icon name with 0 for OFF and 1 for ON (eg Wifi0.png / Wifi1.png). I'm attaching icons as examples.

Kind regards,

Herunim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Osprey,

Wow, it's a while back, you are very good in remembering! Yes, this could have been the issue, but in this skin, I don't have any alphablend enabled. So I tried with your proposed figures, but nothing changed. Probably my display driver is bad programed?

Probably a crazy and not realizeable, but what about to work with gif animated icons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salopalo:
Hi all,

I've changed to the Omnia 2, but still with iphone Today.

I think everything is well configurated, but sometimes I close a program (and always that I make a soft reset), the 4 icons of the bottom doesn't appear and I've to use a scroll bar to move it. I have to go to "today elements" and disable and able again the iphonetoday.

Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Ups, sorry, and also the bubble over the G-Alarm icon doesn't appear when alarm activated (and checked in settings that "spacial icons" is all ok)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I experience something kind of similar but it's not after a soft reset... it's after switching between landscape and portrait. It sometimes leaves the icons in landscape when the phone is in portrait and vice-versa. My solution has been to put an icon on my last IPT page linking to "Refresh Today.exe".

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I had the same problem. I did not use the "refresh today" method. If you are using the DLL version (Today Plugin) you can manually set the height of the screen in portrait. Go to iPhoneToday Options. Go to the "General" tab. At the bottom of the list there is a box for "Portrait". I have a WVGA resolution (which I believe the Omnia 2 is as well) and used 695. Works for me. Hope that helps.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namwollem:
Other email accounts

In that same registry path, there is a "key" called TEXT which details which account have the unread emails, so in my case, the HKCU\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread\Count is 3, and the

HKCU\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread\Text which is "Yahoo Mail (1)" then a symbol of a square, followed by "o2 Mail (2)" - without the quotes and all in the same "key". (Hopefully that makes sense!)

Is there any way these can be seperated into seperate email account unread counts...?

BTW - The latest Beta is working superb on my Touch HD!

(Hopefully, I am getting a HD2 tomorrow, so will test it on that too!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rast4man:
Thanks again for the advice. It worked. I uninstalled a bunch of programs but in the end it was a .tsk file theme I was using that wasn't allowing for it to be functional. Now I have "notifications" and "contacts" on the bottom bar and it doesn't interfere with any programs that are open. I have to say, with IPT and my phone, it runs amazing. Kudos for the help and kudos to the developer. Great job fellas'.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pfonck:
iPhoneToday 1.5.3 beta 3 uses different icons for every 10% of charge (while charging).

I'm talking about the icons without a background.
