[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Hi Zgredd,

in theory it is possible to create shortcuts to every screen/application to which you have a commandline command for. So this depends primarily on the application we talk about. E.g. if the Omnia flashlite has an executable it runs for switching it on, you simply point to this executable. ANother example: For linking to an SMS account you have to rely on tmail.exe providing the possiblity to add a parameter that opens a dedicated account. The same will proof true for the contact link you asked about: please check the contact manager you run for possible parameters and add these to the executable call in the icon options screen

For the volume issue: you can either run a tool you point to...there are several floating around: check my toggle-scripts for one or two of them or you can use iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe: there is be a command to in- and decrease volume meanwhile. "--volume 0" should mute your phone, "--volume 100" sets volume to max again. Check the according release notes in post 1 for other possible options (I think it was introduced in iPT 1.4.6)

Enjoy!

John
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Sounds nice. Would you mind throwing in a screenshot or two?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] midnitefreakin:
@ ALL

screen shot.

all though the font has to be completely black with white shadow effect. kindly work on it.

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Thanks for sharing.

As for the text/font color: please be so kind as to consider to adjust the color value in the "Options"-panel, tab "Screen", field "text-color". For black you may want to adjust the current value of #FFFFFF to #000000. In addition, please note that text/font color should be adjusted for mainscreen as well as top- and bottombar individually. Check "select screen type" in order to dobulecheck the currently set values.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zgredd:
Tank you for quick reply.

As for contact shortcut - Omnia has its own contact manager. I did a shortcut but how to check what is a command to direct to some contact?

I'v found this topic: h t t p ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633868&highlight=iphonetoday+contact+link

but -to "name of contact" dosen't work for me, also with "cprog.exe".

(btw. I have no idea about scripting, so please look on me as noob ;) )

As for volume problem - I'v read about those commands, but I would like to make only 1 shortcut which mute/unmute - exactly like "#" button works in every mobile.

And as for flashlite - Omnia dosen't have any executable in programms, but there is 1 default today item which contains 1 shortcut to ON/OFF flashlight (also to mute/unmute and to ADD a contact :) ), so it is somehow possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
IIRC iPT has some issues with quoting, so you should create an .lnk file in which you write "cprog.exe -to "contact name" and execute this. Works for me ;-)

Trouble is: you'll need to specify the amount of characters in front of the shortcut (limitation of WM) so I cannot create you that file. For the contact name "John Doe" it's 8 characters (without quotes) plus the rest of the commandline, so the shortcut would look something like this:

24#cprog.exe -to "John Doe"

where 24 is the number of characters starting BEHIND the # sign

An easy method of creating shortcuts is using Total Comannder mobile's built in funtion "create shortcut" by the way :-)

Hope, this is somewhat helpful...

John

P.S. make sure to check the FAQ by James as well. He also has a more detailed description of how to create and add shortcuts. To be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542727

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dj2w:
Big Thx :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zgredd:
I'v read about shortcut making but I have a problem.

For example: the name of my contact is "Tata".

So in lnk properties/shortcut I write:

21#cprog.exe -to "Tata" and OK.

But after OK (saving file properties) it somehow add " mark at the begining of line and after lunch this shortcut there is an error: Cannot open file "21#cprog" bla bla bla...

:confused:

I'v also tried to add " mark before cprog and before and after cprog ("cprog.exe"), changing noumber of corse, but nothing works.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
Strange. Please try

32#"\Windows\cprog.exe" -to "Tata"

just to make sure...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
1. Add an icon and type --options in the execute field.

2,3. Sorry I cannot understand what you are suggesting.

Add an icon and type --winkey in the execute field.

The iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe is to pass parameters to the dll version from outside e.g. mortscript. If you want to use any of those commands that start with -- you can simply type them in the execute field of an icon.

Sir.John,Zgredd,

iPhoneToday has no issues with quotes anymore. Add an icon and type cprog.exe in the execute fiels and -to "Tata" in the parameters field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
You learn something new every day. Thanks!

That's good news indeed. Sorry, Zgredd, for obviously making things too complicated :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zgredd:
Unfortunately when I add noumber#, after saving file properties (Total CMD) it automaticly add "mark at the begining and change icon of this lik file, so it can't be opened. But without adding noumber at the begining, lnk opens dialer but not any contact. :confused:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
this app is cool.

just thought i'd share my experience.

I had too many stuff installed (games) so i wanted to create a secondary "menu" .... initially i set one icon to run resco explorer(default pointing to games folder in start menu ) ... problem with this method is resco stays in mem when you launch an app/game

then i realized i could use IphoneToday (exe version) as a submenu and it has an option to exit upon launching an app.

So now i'm using two IphoneTodays in my phone ..... one installed in the Today screen (which is my main screen it works flawlessly together with a big TodayClock) and the other iphoneToday (exe version) is launched from an icon in the main iphoneToday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
But don't they use the same icon.xml and settings.xml ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
@ jeanne8fr

No they don't use the same icons, each use what is in it's own settings directory.

i have the iphoneToday (Today plugin installed in \my device) and the .exe version installed in \My storage ...... each uses it's own settings.

i do hope the .exe version can be run in multiple instances in the future , i tried creating another install in a different folder then renaming the .exe to iphoneToday2.exe but inside task manager it is still seen as iphoneToday, so you can only run one instance of iphoneToday.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
I can confirm what jeanne8fr was meant. My idea was to make an easy skin changing, only changing to complete sets of IPT in different folders, via mortscript, but does not work. Starting the exe from different folders resulted always in the same skin. Or in other words said, starting ipt.exe from folder xyzskin was using the same settings/icons.xml and icons, than ipt.exe from abcskin. But probably it is only the exe version?

Probably tronikos has his reasons for that!?

On the other hand, if each ipt.exe would first look into the own folder for icons/settings.xml, would be open some interesting possibilities e.g. like mentioned skin changing, but I could also think about an easy done lock slider. First ipt.exe starting is the lock slider, sliding to the side is killing first ipt.exe and starting the next one. Just an idea.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@schlork: tediberus's method does work since he's mainly using the Today (dll) version installed on the device, and launching the exe version installed on the storage card. As he has said, you cannot change the installation directory, but you can install the dll version on the device, and the exe version on the storage card, thus resulting in having two different iPhoneTodays... very tricky, but good idea ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
michoob is correct

above is my main screen (iphoneToday.dll installed in main storage)

the game icon launches iphoneToday.exe (installed in \My storage)

and here is iphoneToday.exe .... i haven't customized it much yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
@schlork

i think the problem is .... even if you rename iphoneToday.exe to say iphone2.exe ..... when you run it ..... it is still seen as iphoneToday.exe .... and if one instance is already running it just switches to that instance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
That was good thinking on your part with tricking your device. Could somebody test if you go to option->General->then check hide window from task manager and see if that will allow 2 instances. If it doesn't, then it must be the registry calling the same xml.

Edit: I tried and it makes iPT clear from taskmanager, but under services it is there by the exe name. So one could try renaming a second instance in a different folder to iPT2.exe then keep the original, and keep hidden from task manager might work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xuandung11a2:
Show my screen::D:D:D

​
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
Schlork's idea might be better ...... than having too many instances running should you want submenus.

perhaps the iphoneToday.exe could be modified to have a parameter to which folder to look for settings.

say example

iphoneToday.exe parameters(folder 1 location)

this would give you as many submenus you want but with only 1 instance of iphoneTday runningl.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cerberus_tm:
That would be awesome! And then the other xml file could just contain all installed programs, just what I wanted... if only there would be a way to automatically create icons for all programs in Programs folder and all settings in Settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
iPhoneToday is looking for settings.xml and icons.xml in the executable's directory. If you want to have multiple instances use any resource editor (e.g. Resource Hacker) and rename the string "iPhoneToday" to something different for each additional instance that you want.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
found another good feature.

you can have iphoneToday.exe running in background by setting an icon to execute --minimize

this minimizes iphoneToday.exe and brings you back to your desktop (iphoneToday.dll in my case) ...... reason why i like this is that .... if you load/execute iphoneToday.exe from scratch it takes about 1 to 2secs and you message loadingggg ..... whereas if it is running in the background minimized .... clicking your submenu icon is almost instantaneos ( no loading message )

Here is v1.5.1 beta. Please report any bugs.

In the meantime I am working on the configuration dialog for bubbles. Could someone extract the green led from the attached icon?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Thanks for that hint. I will try asap.

Tried 1.51 PND and found there might be a bug in the Bottom Bar Background settings. (BTW, I highly appreciate this adding, Thanks Tronikos!)

1. picture shows my original installation 9 visible buttons + two invisible (without png) left and right

2. picture shows background gradient activated. Left button still invisible, but right not.

3. picture shows background picture activated. My invisible buttons are replaced with one of the others.

4.5. picture same as 3. only opened options, close and save

Edit: picture 3.-5. background picture activated, but still shows gradient. background picture activated and gradient deactivated looks OK (Picture 6)

I changed my wizard to Cotullas WWE_03 ROM . Now iPT works of course with all Notifications. Great :D But the Calendar Icon Problem stays. It shows the wrong Date and Day. The Application behind is the right Date and Day. Only the Icon is wrong. If i go in the Options Menu and out with saving ,the Icon shows the actual Date and Day. :confused:

I couldn't extract it but I made one of my own if it helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
tito12,

The options layout is intenionally like this. PND devices do not support scrolling dialogs and this height is the maximum visible on a 320x240 screen.

schlork,

OK I fixed it. BTW, you should adjust the left and right offsets of the bottom bar screen instead of adding empty icons.

12gage,

Could you create another one without the glow effect? One without alpha transparency.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
how's this one? I'm not sure how to remove alpha transparency
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Nevermind, I found this one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Thanks for fixing. I already use the offsets, these invisible icons are not empty, I use them as additional alternative for scrolling. (--goto:previous)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
Hi tronikos.,

i tried the iphoneToday ver1.5.1wm beta. When a user makes background settings of main screen or bottom bar from the screen tab and goes to the background tab and make changes, they do not come into affect.

SCENARIO: i checked the gradient option in screen tab for main screen and then went to background tab and checked the transparent option but it didnt work.

I feel that keeping the background is confusing as user can configure the background from the screen tab.

Secondly if i tap and hold it, i see the options "Add Icon", "Edit Icon" etc. When i click Cancel, it closes the options but the application opens, which i feel is not a correct behavior. In this scenario since user taps Cancel, user should be on the mail screen

Ques: What does the option gradient do?

When i make changes in the topbar, where do they affect?

I enjoyed the great speed of the application in this version too by checking the gradient option.....

Keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
The bottom bar graphic is fun to play with. Some of my image I can use in very interesting ways with the settings. The option menu is great, I like how you organized it. With the options you have available, you make the UI whatever the user envisions. The text changes are great too, I have Alpha blend on and Tahoma fonts and all works great. The only thing is when I change the special icon to tahoma I do not notice any change. I do have Alpha blend on as I said earlier, but the text change does work for icon name on both bottom and mainscreen. The image below has a test image set to main screen, and a test image on bottombar. I have tahoma set for all text in both the special icon setting and the screen setting.

edit: the ballista font changes, maybe my device is defaulting the icon text to tahoma in the first place. What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
jaskiratsingh,

1. The "background settings" in the screen tab is different from the "background" tab.

2. On my device and under device emulator the "Cancel" in the tap and hold menu only closes the pop up menu. Which application does it open for you?

3. The option gradient adds a gradient background on the screen. Topbar is a static bar similar to the bottom bar. To add an icon there add an icon and enter -2 in the screen field.

LEX@N,

Yes Tahoma is the default font on most devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
OK, Thx Tronikos

I was playing around with more themes and was using this gun shot as pressed icon and a shotgun wave sound. Was pretty cool and funny on my background. You only see the gunshots and blood not the black background. The shotgun wave sound can be found easily with google search. iPT shrinks the image just fine, or you can convert it down.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
i wonder if it is possible .... to have more than 1 icons.xml say menu1_icons.xml menu2_icons.xml menu3_icons.xml ..... and then just renaming the desired menu to icons.xml before executing or asking iphoneToday.exe to reload/refresh icons. that way you can have submenus but running only 1 instance of iphoneToday.exe running
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moto62:
Wow the next Release ! Cool.

One Problem , I use a different State Bubble Icon. If i try to choose it in Options ,Bubbles , and go out with save ,i got a Message ""Special icons height value is not valid". Its the same icon like original , only brighter , so i could see it better in car. I not changed a value in this menu. What make i wrong ? :confused:

And the Calendar Buttons Problem is the same. Every Day i must go in Options Menu and out with saving or Soft reset to get the actual Date in Icon. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
I can second that. Same here, I'm afraid.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cerberus_tm:
Great, a new version! Tronikos, you have no idea how much I appreciate your and your predecessor's work here.

Q: Does anyone know how to make an icon that shows active Notifications, such as a missed call or new text message?

I am asking because I am hiding the softkeys with DCINoBar - but then I have no way to view a notification but by clicking the tiny icon on the upper task bar. DCINoBar is supposed to only hide them, not disable the softkeys, but even my hardware softkey buttons (I know, sounds odd, but my Kaiser really has them) do nothing when the softkeys are hidden.

Does there perhaps exist a shortcut to execute Left Softkey and Right Softkey?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
tediberus,

Yes you can. Rename menuX_icons.xml to icons.xml with a script and without closing iPnoneToday.exe relaunch it. iPhoneToday will recognize the new icons.xml (as long as they have different timestamps) and reload it. The same thing happens if you use the --relaunch command or set the reloadIcons in registry to 1.

Moto62,Sir.John,

I just fixed it. Please redownload it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:

as far as tested yet 1.5.1 works excellent! Again many thanks for your great work!!

But again some proposal. I've tested Bottom bar gradient, picture etc.

Looks great, but look a little bit better, if Backgroung goes a little bit higher than the upper end of icons (please see picture)

and last but not least a question:

I can vote for 4 different fonts Arial, Arial Black, Tahoma and Titula. How can I add test oster ones (Miopocket environment)?

2. Create a fonts subdirectory in the iPhoneToday's directory and copy any fonts you want there.

tronikos,

the --relaunch command works flawlessly no glitches at all .... i've only tested by creating an icon to execute --relaunch ....... then i went into iphoneToday folder edited the icons.xml .... then clicked the icon ..... it did work well.

But i have no idea/experience on scripting =)

icons.xml - file that iphoneToday works with , it's initial state would be a copy of menu1

i'm thinking .....

Menu1.xml

Menu2.xml

and so on and so forth

an icon used

to execute a script to delete icons.xml then copy the desired menu to temp.xml and renaming it to icons.xml after which --relaunch
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
well i figured out how to make the simple delete copy script ..... my problem now is ... refreshing iphoneToday

because in the execute option ..... instead of --relaunch ... i run the script

so how do i put in the script .... the command for iphoneToday to relaunch

i made it work for now using 2 icons ..... one icon run a mrtscript to change icons.xml ... and a 2nd icon to execute --relaunch
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
The same thing happened to me too.... The icons overlap each other :(

I tried the option "Try setting icons per row to 0" and it worked well :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jamespaulritter:
Thanks for making this available. I works great.

No overlapping icons in landscape mode for me on my Tilt 2. I used the wm cab.

I have had trouble getting an icon image to be recognized though. Are not all png files created equal? I looked at the properties of the png files i wanted to use versus the ones in the default folder that are recognized and they seem to be similar. Are there any working extra icons that I can use for the app?
