Thanks Huge!

I'm starting to like iPhoneToday more and more by the minute.

- With Sense, the Today screen with a few mods is great. But now what? The slider apps are canned. All you can do is turn items off. You get exactly 9 quicklinks, and only 3 show without scrolling. The start menu is a master disaster for both Sense and the standard 6.5 interface. If you move things in it to folders, you break your quicklinks. People on the slider makes no sense for a business person, so I use a quicklink for contacts. When you move the slider you lose sight of voice mail, e-mail, and texts.

- CHT is very flexible, but it's not so simple, and sometimes I would get lost in black pages and couldn't get back. Everything takes lots of clicks. Without a slider, you're often out of sight of your voice mail, e-mail, and texts.

- SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 I installed twice. I don't have it figured out yet. I thought I made all of those screens they show in the carousel and launcher.

- iPhoneToday has the things that are important on the bottom no matter which screen you are working from. It looks like it comes set up a bit like the iPhone as a starting point but you can do anything you want to. With apps closed, it's only at 39% RAM usage vs. 52% for stock Sense. With what you've told me I can now title and organize programs into categories and never have to look at the Start / Programs mess again. This is huge!

Thanks TONS!

Transparent Taskbar?

Is there a way that I can set the taskbar transparent? I have iPhoneToday installed on Touch Pro 2 with Windows mobile 6.5. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@tainan: I don't think it is possible, but you can use the Desktop.exe version of iPhoneToday and configure a top bar that will be transparent and behave like the standard WM taskbar.

Awsome Work

Thank you , trying it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
I just did it. It was easy to fix. Expect it in the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_sonic:
cool! it's a very nice project. Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I tried this and it didn't work for me, it still puts the phone on vib. but no icon change, any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
i have manually installed IPT 1.44 in \iPhoneToday, and everything works fine. If you have installed via cab, your new dir should be \%ProgramFiles%\iPhoneToday\. So you have to change also old mscr's accordingly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. Remember that I commented early on that scrolling didn't seem as smooth as in the YouTube video? I've discovered the reason: I was using a .bmp as the background. Switching to a .jpg improved things remarkably. So, you may want to keep this in mind and, if anyone else comments on slow/choppy scrolling, ensure that they aren't using a .bmp for the background.

2. The non-static background feature is really cool, but I can't find any way to make a background look ok with it. For example, I'm using the Earth.jpg from MioPocket, which is great for seeing the stretching, and, no matter what I do (use it straight, create a horizontally-compressed version, create a horizontally-stretched version, create a square version), the result is always a horizontally stretched image. It looks to me like it first fits the image to the screen, then stretches it. If so, then it would seem impossible to get proportions correct with it. Am I missing something and is there a trick? Maybe you can come up with a better behavior for iPhoneToday so that results are more predictable. Maybe the answer could be to simply disable the fitting of the image to the screen and the stretching if the image is wider than the screen so that the view merely pans across the unaltered image. That would be more predictable and make this really cool feature actually usable with most backgrounds (as well as improve the image quality). Is that doable (or do you have a better idea)?

3. Hiding overflow icons behind the bottom bar works well. Good job. I wonder if anything can be done about the icons that it cuts off, though. It seems to me that the issue may be that the auto-configuration at first startup still takes the whole screen height into account. Perhaps if it were to take in account screen height - bottom bar height, it would space the icon rows out so that no icons end up being cut off by the bottom bar (in the same way that it already tries to ensure that no icons are partway off the bottom of the screen). Is that possible?

Thanks again and just great work so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BzeBwoi:
How did you get this IPT to run as a Sense Slider tab?? (that's what it looks like from you screenshots, correct me if I am mistaken?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

2. The size of the non-static background is 1.75 * screenwidth x screenheight. I will make this configurable.

3. The auto-configuration at first startup (if AlreadyConfigured is 0 in the settings.xml) doesn't do anything else other than:

iconwidth = min(screenwidth, screenheight) * 0.1875

fontsize = iconwidth / 4

4. I just committed something that you will like :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Tronik, I downloaded notepad++ (Open Source). Everything is OK. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
i installed MTP clicked "Overwrite tap height" on MTP options, then i had to delete all bottom bar icons or they overlapped. this is what i did anyway, hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hi

I am not using any picture as the background. Below are my settings:

BACKGROUND TAB

Wallpaper: None

Static: Unchecked

Transparent: Unchecked

Color: #0

MOVEMENT TAB

Movement Threshold: 20

Movement Factor: 8

Min Velocity: 20

Maximum Velocity: 200

Vertical Scrolling: Unchecked

Still choppy scrolling. Using the latest version 1.44
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Tronikos,

Only if it is easily done! Would it be possible to add the possibility to Options Menu, to define where icons folder is located? People using PNA+Miopocket could use same folder of Miopocket.

For other users this would have the possibility to change complete set of icons very easy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moto62:
Hi there,

I m happy to found this Iphone-today. But i have a little problem. I have an Magician with WM2003se and the "Missed Calls" Bubble failed. Also SMS . I see only on the top of the Menu , that was a call or sms . Must i configure the Icon ?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mustela7:
Hi,

I LIKE the ongoing development here - I'm definitly back to iPhoneToday from SPB and others, as I like to keep my applications in RAM, instead of nice shell graphics...

A little thing though that would be nice is if the color of the animation when tapping an icon could be changed. No sophisticated graphics, just clean ... black, for example?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Download a registry edit program; locate the value or key that your devices uses to store sms and missed calls. Also see if you can install mortscript. If you can do both of those, pm them answers to me and I'll create a mortscript to make it work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moto62:
That was a fast Answer, wow.

Ok Mortscript 4.1 installed , but with ceregeditor nothing found . Than I found a Link for the Problem, but I am to stupid to understand exactly how this works.

Link: http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/...ow-to-detect-missed-calls-and-unread-messages

Maybe you can help me to learn about. Thanks

I keep on searching for more ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ukintel:
Thanks for this :)

Any chance you could make it so we have more options to adjust the position of DOM and DOW please, I would like to add padding to the top and bottom of my calander icon.

Thank you for this stylish, lite , easy to use interface
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
hi tito please is possible set ipt desktop in startup ?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xi.lin:
cool app

It seems really like a iPhone screen~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yung18:
Just open file explorer. Goto programs IphoneToday, click and hold on iptdesktop icon and a scrren should show up. Choose copy and then hit the up key until you reach the level that says my device. Now goto the windows file and and scroll down to you see the startup file. Your device my take a while to load everything in the folder so don't mess up lol. Anyway when your in the startup folder just hit the menu button and go down to edit, then paste.Choose to paste the Shortcut. exit out and everytime you start ur phone ipt will start. easy right.

Empty Page inbetween

Hi @all,

is there a way to insert a blank page inbetween 2 filled pages without moving the icons around? :confused:

Best regards,

buck08
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@buck08: edit the icons.xml file in the iPhoneToday folder and insert the following lines after the </screen> tag of the page you want to add an empty page after:

<screen header:"">
</screen>

Then restart iPhoneToday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] buck08:
@michoob

thanks, it worked.

Cheers,

buck08
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
thanks but no work "error bad icons"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi uberto

You can use explorer to create a shortcut in your device then move it to windows startup. This is what i did but i got very bad display, the reason is that startup launches IPT before the display drivers so i abandoned this idea...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
Thanks tito you are very nice any new for multifolder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Nothing more than in my sig :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Install small-sized freeware TULL.EXE and make the shortcut point to it: with TULL you can implement a delay before launching IPT
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Thanks jwoegerbauer, I will try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
thank i have registred but download no work i don't undertand, please you cau post here file tull ?

thak sorry for my english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I uploaded it here. HTH

FYI: Sample TULL.ini

;Delay im msecs

D 5000

;Launch program

L \SDMMC\program.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
thanks how and where I install it

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I don't own a device as for example michoob or tito12 do ( I only own a ordinary PND based on CE5 Core ), hence I can't properly answer this. In any case TULL.exe/TULL.ini must be located in resident storage, as also IPT is located there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi

The answer was under my nose all the time :p jwoegerbauer's "delay" reminded me of the "sleep" in mortscript, so there's no need to have another program...

Just edit the txt below, play with the value of sleep (here I have 20 seconds) and of course adjust the path to fit your config, save and remove the ".txt" from the name. Copy "iPhoneToday.mscr" to "Windows/Startup" in your device and reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Quick tip to have your script universal tito12, as used in IPTWeather as per tronikos' advice:

iPhoneTodayPath = RegRead("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\iPhoneToday", "DLL")
iPhoneTodayPath = Replace(iPhoneTodayPath, "iPhoneToday.dll", "")
Sleep(20000)
Run(iPhoneTodayPath \ "iPhoneTodayDesktop.exe")
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Very professional look michoob :D

Ps: should I change something in it ? cause it doesn't work :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eiracles:
thank you bro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Modmyppc:
I take it development has stopped on this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
What is left to develop? IphoneToday has reached a level of optimization that real iPhones would dream of!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
One of the implementations i would like is the option of assigning the icon size one by one when adding the icons and not for all icons the same, also the feature of placing the icons anywhere on the screen by dragging them around would be very wellcome.

I know this is not very iPhone like, but i would like it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uberto.costanzo:
Sorry Tito but don't work in startup open only a page iptd no open why?

thancs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I am really surprised: 13 downloads of TULL.exe I pointed out earlier here. Obviously some guys recognized the advantage in using TULL instead of MortScript: approx. 18KB RAM-usage vs. approx. 550KB RAM-usage to load an app delayed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Post your mscr and tell us exactly what you did.

@ jwoegerbauer

Don't take it personally, it's just that for ppl like me with no background at programming, learning a new syntax is so difficult :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
It might be because you haven't installed the Today plugin when you had the prompt dialog box during installation.

But that's weird, because then, people in the same situation cannot update the iPhoneToday wallpaper with weather information with IPTWeather if the iPhoneToday Today plugin is not installed...

I thought that this registry key was installed anyway.

So I guess you should better change my script to the following:

iPhoneTodayPath = RegRead("HKCU", "Software\MoDaCo\AppToDate\XML", "iPhoneToday")
iPhoneTodayPath = Replace(iPhoneTodayPath, "version.xml", "")
Sleep(20000)
Run(iPhoneTodayPath \ "iPhoneTodayDesktop.exe")

I guess I'll have to update IPTWeather too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
I have the exe version that doesn't write anything in registry (I checked just in case). I'll try the new script but does it take into account the (remote) possibility that IPTW is not installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
The two scripts I provided in my two previous post have nothing to do with IPTW.

IPTW just uses the same system to detect the path of iPhoneToday, but these two registry settings should be created by iPhoneToday during installation.

Are you sure you have none of these keys in the registry???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
I do have the modaco...etc key but it still doesn't launch IPT...

The exe (or pnd) version isn't a cab, it's a zip and is not installed, just copied to program files or any place.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Ah, ok, then my system cannot work with a non-cab version... but are you sure you have the MoDaCo key "HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\AppToDate\XML\iPhoneToday" with value "<iPhoneTodayPath>\version.xml"? I don't think so as the pnd version zip file doesn't come with the version.xml file...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
You're right, I have under xml only the value Program files\Iptweather\sys\version.xml, this is why I asked you

Obviously this value was created by IPTW.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
The registry keys and values in "HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\AppToDate\XML" are created during installation by apps that are compatible with MoDaCo AppToDate to check for their own updates.

IPTWeather and iPhoneToday are both compatible with AppToDate, that's why you'll have such a registry key created by IPTWeather, but also another one created by iPhoneToday :).

Here you can find statistics on the use of AppToDate for all apps.

Of course, this won't work if you don't use cab files :p.

Online iPhone icon maker

This tool generates iPhone/iPod 57x57px icon (PNG) from any image. Glossy & corner rounding effect are applied so icon will look exactly like on iPhone/iPod.

I love the folders, been wanting to do this forever, got back into IPT, and am exstatic that this is happening.

So guys, anyway to link a contact to these? Not sure how to do that. I have game folder set up, but want to set up Fav to include people. Is that possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Sure it is possible, look on the first page there is a link to a FAQ thread, and there are several possibilities explained, i use the following

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
I looked, guess not far enough! Thanks, will give this a go!

Edit -thanks! That did the trick! The only question I have now is how to make the picture of the contact the icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
You'll have to create those icons/pictures manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
Crap, was worried about that. I have no skills in this. I don't even have photoshop, just paint and the usual windows picture stuff. Will give it a go and see what happens!

Thanks guys! I am really loving how well this performs, and that it doesn't suck up any memory!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@reidler: wow, if you really want some help, you'll have to learn how to shorten your messages ;). For IPTWeather, normally, it can be installed anywhere! What version of MortScript have you installed? But if you need more help on IPTWeather, I would suggest you better post on the IPTWeather thread (see my signature) :).

Other question: exe or Today plugin?

I personnaly use the Today plugin version, because then, I have a real integration of iPhoneToday within Windows Mobile, and not just an exe on the top.

But only with the exe version you can have fullscreen. So if you really want to forget that you are using WM, better use the exe version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Looks like I installed Mortscript version 4.01b12. I'm not sure how to tell. I clicked on the installation program and a message came up .mscr and .mortrun extensions registered. Mirko Schenk 2005-2007. On top of the box it gave that version number. I don't know how to write mortscripts (have not read the manual) but I installed it to once test a script someone gave me.

Was this message shorter?

I like the jet black background on the .exe. How can I make that black screen using the plugin?

Does the .exe run faster than the plugin or is it my imagination?

So how about a special icon for unread Reminders?

Thanks. Eli
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Hi. I installed these and got a folder to work. It's like a sub IPT within IPT. The folder allows me to add icons and screens etc. Great!

But if I scroll the screen to the right or left I get the following error:

Scrpt CloseFolder.mscr not found.

waiting for existance (storage cared not installed?)

The storasge card is installed. I did add this folder cab to the storage card. How do I get rid of theis error. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
some solutions.

1. install this .mscr file

2. edit the options to remove the information that this file should be launched... to do this, 2 ways :

2a. go in the options, select the tab "out of screen", then choose the directions and remove the text in the "execute" field.

2b. edit the settings.xml file, remove the text CloseFolder.mscr

By the way, another question about this wonderful program, question for which I do not have found an answer :

suppose that I have a folder full of shortcuts (files), for example of all of my games.

how is it possible that ipt (or any sub one) automatically add buttons (with pictures) of the content of this folder ? without me editing, adding,... icons by myself. And when I put a new shortcut, this will be added ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi corwin

When you say "buttons with pictures" you mean icons? Anyway when you select an exe file or mscr with the add icon function, if a pic is not selected IPT (or folder) will display the default icon.

I hope this is what you asked
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
not entirly.

and yes, button is for icon, sorry !

I have a folder with, for example, all the .lnk files to all of my games, like for example in the added picture.

As I have, in thise case, more than 150 shortcuts, I do not want to add them all manually !

Even when I add a new shortcut.

In fact, I want IPT scanning the folder I specify and autocreate icons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
In one of my projects I use a script, that exactly does this. For your convenience I attached this script you might study and use a template.

BTW: To understand the logic of this script, you of course must know of how the apps are structured in my project, will say each application is stored in mainfolder \MyApps\APPLICATION_GROUP (e.g. \MyApps\Games) in a separate subfolder named APPLICATION (e.g. \MyApps\Games\Hearts), and this subfolder contains 1) script APPLICATION.mscr, 2) image APPLICATION.png and 3) registry file APPLICATION.reg (which of course can be of dummy content).

|

|...\MyPocket.56.Core.BE\MyApps\APPLICATION-GROUP-NAME

|.......\APPLICATION-NAME

|..........application-icon

|..........application-launcher-script

|..........application-regfile

|..........application-other-stuff (exe,dll,etc)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
thanks, I just see it right now. I was away and in the train and mettings, without internet connexion and I have coded a solution too.

Look HERE on XDA (further post) for a version with the navigations buttons "next" and "previous" in the bottom bar.

works smoothly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
I would prefer the idea of installing CloseFolder.mscr. Where do I find this file? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
I installed the IPT Folders and linked to it from IPT. I added icons. But I do not show the exit button on the bottom as it appears in the exampls in this thread. How come?

How do I make them appear so I can exit?

Thanks. Eli
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
I'm trying to learn and understand IPT. I know there's a difference between running the .exe version and the TODAY version. But I'm also reading about the .dll version in the documentation. What is the .dll version?

And also - the iPoneTodayCmndLine that I see in the \program files\iphonetoday folder?

Thanks. Eli
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi Eli

You just create it like any other icon and in exe field you write --close or --exit
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi reidler, I made this mscr before I realized the function "out of screen" was much better:

go in the options, select the tab "out of screen", then choose the directions and in the "execute" field write --exit

If you still want it, open the attachment, edit the path of your folder, save as CloseFolder.mscr, copy it to your device, then do the same procedure like above but in "execute" navigate to CloseFolder.mscr.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
well... I still have a question about the icons. Do you know how to automatically have the pictures ? because for some links it doesn't be ok... and I do not want to make about 150 pictures ! Maybe changing, completing the .lnk ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
If only some links have no icons then just before adding pics see if the params are ok (compare to other icons that have a picture). Check also if the link works and opens the program. Don't forget to reset :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
dll version = Today version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Thank you very much Tito for taking the time to answer me. I set it up as a static icon (-1) and used the symbol as the icon and I set it to --exit. It works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Thank you again. In the end I just set it up to wrap (or I think even without wrap it's the same if I don't set up any directions). Now that I'm starting to understand this all better I'm able to make these adjustments. I just wanted to be doing it the way it was intended.
