after test a while... its quite a problem when the phone turn to landscape and need to change the icon row to 0... and after turn it back to potrait mode... need to change it back...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Oh, great! Then, could you please add a command line that forces iPhoneToday to reload an icon or all icons, as it is done with the registry settings reloadIcon and reloadIcons.

In fact, I have noticed that there is a response delay of the registry reload icon feature, as if iPhoneToday was checking the registry every 500ms.

So MortScript scripts that reload icons could be faster if we could just force iPhoneToday to make a "reloadIcon" or a "reloadIcons" action, without using the registry values reloadIcon(s)...

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Why don't you leave the icons per row value always to 0?

It is actually by default every 2000ms, the notify timer value in options. I just added the following commandline flag: --reload

I also added the ability to scroll through the pages with the directional pad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lorezz:
can be used with HD 2....?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ukintel:
Thanks again Tronikos Im so pleased you picked up this project.

IPT is now 100 times better! Your efforts are appriciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I need a little help. I am 95% done with what every option in the menus do, but I cannot figure what a few small items do or are for. If you know, please let me know so I can add it to the FAQ's

Under the skin tab:

Header height: ????

Color: ????

Header weight:????

Header offset: ????

I guess if I knew what a header was, I could figure this out.

And under the misc tab:

Do Not Show Window Tittle : ????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
because it will make around 6 icon per row and its really close... dont look nice... it look better with 4 icon in a row... other option is great... but i still use it... and test it...

@lorezz

yes can use for HD2, i have test it with my HD and HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Ok, then leave the icons per row 0; and then change the additional vertical space number to like 10 or higher. This forces space between the icons

Hi

I need some help with the Calendar icon, after I changed it, the day of the week and the day of the month are too big for the new icon, so I tried to change the Settings.xml with lower values but nothing changes after I reload IPT.

Any ideas ?

Edit: found the way in options/clock, now i know what is DOW and DOM lol, now just how to lower DOW ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
yups... its working... thanks j101399j... now testing other option...

hmmm yeah... the day and the week is kind of out of icon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
@j101399j

thanks for making this great FAQ!

I have added in icons.xml a header.

<screen header="Favorites">

<icon name="Contacts" image="contactos.png" exec="\Windows\poutlook.exe" parameters="contacts" execAlt="" parametersAlt="" type="0" animation="1"/>

<icon name="Clock" image="SimpleBlack.png" exec="ctlpnl" parameters="cplmain.cpl,16" execAlt="" parametersAlt="" type="12" animation="1"/>

<icon name="Calculator" image="calc.png" exec="\Windows\MobileCalculator.exe" parameters="" execAlt="" parametersAlt="" type="0" animation="1"/>

<icon name="Notes" image="notes.png" exec="\Windows\notes.exe" parameters="" execAlt="" parametersAlt="" type="0" animation="1"/>

Now I have on top of this page "Favorites". As I understand "Do Not Show Window Tittle" should switch this header off. But not working for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Cool, too bad there is not an easier way to add that insted having to edit the icons.xml at least I have pocket text editor.

[edit] Yep, verified. That is very nice. I just added the header names to mu icons.xml, loaded iPT, made them 15 tall and red, and made the mainpage T offset 15; and now I have page titles. Again too bad there is not an easier way to add that insted having to edit the icons.xml every time

@ everyone I strongly recommend that if you go to mess with the icons.xml or settings.xml (like using mortscript); disable your today plugin first. And once done, test it in the exe version. I messed up my icons.xml and kept getting the bad xml file message; and it made my phone freeze. Since iPT loads as a today screen when the phone loads, it would freeze before I could even disable the plug in; and you guessed it, useless phone. It was so bad I even had to do a hard reset to get my phone working again (This has happpened 4-5 times). So now with the today screen off, if it crashed becasue of a change, no hard reset needed. Or just don't mess with the xml files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Great! That means the command line flag --reload will trigger the check of the reloadicon and reloadicons registry values, doesn't it?

That's a very good news, because thanks to this, my IPTWeather scripts will be faster!

Please check my signature if you want to know more about IPTWeather ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
@tronikos

is it

[B]flag:--reload

[/B] or just

[B]--reload

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
I usualy rework icon.xml with standard text editor, but you can also open with Internet Explorer as xml Editor. If the xml file is bad, then Explorer will

not

open it, but brings a failure message. Probably one way to check the xml file.

Registry as base for iphonetoday

hi i was thinking for a little bit today while going through bug with the iclone rom i am working on and i thought: why not be able to add icons and programs through the registry. has anybody ever thought about that? just putting it out there lol. but maybe that can be the approach we can take with this. pm me or reply with interest or feedback

Well I got iPT working on my old Dell Axim X3 running PocketPC 2002. And it runs very well with very few problems.

It's really only for fun. I am not going to seriously use this thing. I just wanted to see if it worked.

Are you going to make a ppc version of 1.5.1 ???

Jeannette
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
coolsac32,

I don't like storing settings in registry.

jeanne8fr,

The wm version now runs on Windows Mobile 2003 (aka Pocket PC 2003), Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 6.x. Before I had two different packages, one for Windows Mobile 2003 and one for Windows Mobile 5/6, but now I decided to have just one to avoid confusions.

What are the few problems? Anything I could fix?

Hello tronikos.

1.4.9 slow

1.5.0 fast

1.5.1 slow

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
thank you very much tronikos

i got it to work now. I got it to work now being able to switch to another set of icons using one icon set to run a script.

with iPhoneToday.exe ..... relaunching causes a message "loading" for a second or two ..... but with the .dll it's flawless almost instantaneous. minor glitch is when it reloads the background became black instead of transparent ... but whenever i add or remove an icon the background is transparent again .... should i just set a background/wallpaper image or tinker with the transparency settings ?

can anyone tell me how to change the amount of icons for landscape? I looked everywhere in the faq
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
Got all submenus working ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
12 gage

tap and hold screen .... tap options ..... there are several things you can do to change the number of icons

1.) icon width .... this will change the size of the icons and automatically adjusts the number of icons to fit the screen

or

2.) change Minspace and/or Add. vspace options ..... which changes the spacing between icons

3.) add offsets to take up some space top left right and bottom of screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] condedudas:
Hello Tronikos.

You're right, with the default setings the speed is the same in

the two versions, 1.5.0, and 1.5.1.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
wouldn't that change the portrait settings as well? i have those the way i want them, but when i switch to landscape it keeps 4 icons per row, loses and cuts off some instead of automatically rearranging like on 1.3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
12gage,

You should keep the icons per row value to 0 and increase the minimum horizontal space.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] condedudas:
Hello tronikos again.

Clean installation.

Convert 13 icons to Normal.

Tested the two versions, (1.5.0, and 1.5.1), apparently the same speed ...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RizwanKhan:
there is an easy fix for this: depending on how far you want the icon moved just count the number of icons and set this icon at the last number. For example if you have total of 13 icons on one screen than set the new icon number as 14 and this will put it at the end of the list of icons. Hold the icon until the right click menu appears and than click on "edit icon"

from here

Screen: (list of option for screen) Icon: (this is where you specify icon #).

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
Here are some iPhone backgrounds that are pixel-exact to what's on the real iPhone. My first backgrounds were, evidently, based on pre-production mock-ups (artist renditions). These come from actual screenshots and are exactly the texture on the iPhone, not re-sized or shaded any. I made these a few weeks ago, but waited until tronikos implemented the fitwidth and fitheight controls on the static bar backgrounds, since they're important for keeping the look and quality of the images.

To download these, right-click on them and choose "Save Picture As" (or similar option in your browser). To apply them, set iPhoneToday's bottom bar's background (not the mainscreen background) to them.

This first one is sized specifically for Windows Mobile phones with 240px-wide displays.

This second one is for all sizes. I simply took the iPhone texture and repeated it to keep the quality (i.e. did not re-size it). When you use this, make sure to turn off "fitwidth" and "fitheight" in iPhoneToday, so that the image isn't shrunk to fit on your display, which would ruin the look and quality. By turning "fitwidth" and "fitheight" off, this texture should look perfect and exactly the same on all devices and configurations, no matter the size.

There's no gray bar at the bottom because it's impossible to add one that works for all screen and font sizes. If you want to add it, simply take the color from the 240px-wide image and create the bar on the above image at the point and with the size required for your display and iPhoneToday setup.

To compare the textures, here's a screenshot of the iPhone:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

Thanks for the new backgrounds. Since you are good with graphics, could you create some nicer bubbles? I understand that PND devices have no need for bubbles... If you want to see how they look like 1. add some sms, alarm and wifi icons, 2. select the bubble images under options->bubbles and 3. run:

RegWriteDWord("HKCU", "System\State\Messages\SMS\Unread", "Count", 8)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "WiFi", 2)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\Clock\0", "AlarmFlags", 1)

Check the attached exe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. Sure. I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

2. I'm not noticing any difference between that version and the latest 1.5.1 with regard to the request that you quoted. Does it work in the emulator? What, exactly, did you do? Just to be sure that you understood the request, I meant, for example, that when you're at the top of the page, tap-and-dragging down should not drag the icons down, since, being at the top of the page, there are no icons above them to scroll to. Similarly, if you're showing the last row of icons, you shouldn't be able to tap-and-drag up, since there are no more icons below the last row. Obviously, if the "out-of-screen" controls are set, they would override, but, if not set, scrolling to blank space wouldn't be possible. It's not a huge deal, but if you're trying to accomplish it, that's what I meant, just to be clear. If you have some other idea or meant for me to test something other than that, let me know. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

Take a look into options->out of screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
i think you have to edit your icons.xml and create a topbar page

inside the file you'll see page1, page2 and so on then bottombar ..... by default there is no topbar i think .... so you'll have to add that.

The screenshot is from MiToNiOeS ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=508429 ) and it seems he used Wisbar Advance 3.5 and nueNoBar 2.0. I have no experience with these programs...

midnitefreakin,

I guess you selected black color for text. There is a known issue... Till I fix it change it to something that is close to black e.g. #101010
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronkos,

Oh. I wasn't expecting an implementation like that. Very nice. Yes, it works. By changing the value to 0%, I'm able to get the behavior that I described. Thanks. This is just a minor thing, but there seems to be a little bug in the down direction. What happens is that, when I've enabled it in the down direction and scroll down, the icons stop scrolling just as the last row of icons are fully visible, but not the row of text labels underneath them, which stay hidden just offscreen. So, it appears as though it's taking into account the bottom of the last row of icons, rather than the bottom of the text labels underneath the last row. I imagine that that's an easy fix to make. Besides simply not seeing the text labels, a few quirks are introduced in the scrolling, but I'm convinced that solving what I just described will rid them, too.

1. I've just taken a look at the bubbles and gotten them to display, using those registry values that you gave. I can definitely come up with better ones tomorrow.

3. Is there any way for you to have the keyboard come up automatically when putting the cursor into any of the text boxes in Options, like how Opera does with its address bar? I realize that Opera isn't the same as CE's dialog framework, but I would think that whatever event triggers the blinking cursor in the text box could be used to show the keyboard, as well. That would make it easier to change values, at least on PNDs, where we have to bring it up manually every time that we want to change values. Also, if you can do that, it'd be great if you'd also make it so that all of the text is selected, so that we can input new text right away without having to know where the cursor is, move it and delete the existing text before entering (which is a bit of a problem with some of MioPocket's larger keyboard sizes, which often hide the text box, meaning that we have to type blind or move the keyboard partially offscreen to see the box again).

4. Can you add up/down arrows for all integer fields in Options, like you have on the "Edit Icon"/"Icon Settings" page? That, too, would be quite nice for not having to use the keyboard for everything. Thanks.

Here is a small issue I noticed with the latest 1.5.1:

- the exec alt of "missed calls & signal strength & operator name" does not work (it shows the missed call but doesn't launch my confiured recent list; it executes the regular configured app)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

0. The real iPhone stops scrolling at 50% of the screen. I think that 0% might confuse some users. They might think that their touchscreen is broken and it is not responding or something. Visualizing with empty space that there no more icons in the given scrolling direction seems to me more user intuitive. Anyway, indeed there is a bug in the down direction, I am not taking into account the mainscreen's top offset. The few quirks you mention in the scrolling I guess are related to how I do the vertical scrolling. Once the vertical scrolling is stopped I bounce the icons so that the first visible row of icons is at position y = 0 + mainscreen's top offset.

1. Thanks. Keep in mind that bubbles are always alphablended on the icon underneath but not the background. For the background it depends on whether the option alphablend on background is enabled.

3. Yes it's possible. I'll do it.

4. The new font settings dialog has such up/down controls too. I will try to add such controls to most of the integer fields.

Moto62,

I just fixed the non updaing "Calendar & Appointments" issue. Expect it in the next release.

12gage,

But I do have a pop up warning when you try to change the icons per row value.
