The clock feature of iPhoneToday is not so advanced, but you might want to install TodayClock (direct download from here) for your first "two" rows, and then enable this Today plugin together with iPhoneToday for the rows 3 and 4 :).

Hi

I don't know if I overlooked but I'd like to see different icons switches in IPT for wifi, bt etc instead of the "state" bubbles...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kunwar030477:
Hi Michoob,

If I modify (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=390841) or write a new mortscript to get weather info and forecast returned from yahoo etc, and wherein I do string substition in settings.xml at line :

<Background transparent="0" color="#0" static="1" fitwidth="1" fitheight="1" center="1" tile="0" factor="1.000" wallpaper="\<weather wallpapers path>\<filename>.<ext>" />

and change the <filename> var to the <weather code> which I get from weather site's API, I can have the wallpaper corresponding to weather condition without any other tool.

Script flow:

- Get weather info and code.

- deduce the weather info and forecast and use this info as string for weather icon.(current + forecast)

- do string substition in settings.xml

- refresh/reload iphoneToday.

My questions are:

1.) How to refresh iphoneToday if I am not using the exe version?

2.) As of now iphoneToday does display .gif files but without animation. Any plans to support animation?

Appreciate any suggestions/help and thanks in advance for the reply.

Thanks

KP
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@kunwar030477: do you really need weather from yahoo and/or many other sources, or might AccuWeather.com be enough for you? If the weather from AccuWeather.com is enough for you, then, I would suggest you use IPTWeather. Check my signature for a link to it ;).

But, if you really want to develop your own script, then:

1.) Just set HKLM\Softare\iPhoneToday\reloadIcons=1 and iPhoneToday will reload the icons.xml file

2.) No animated gif in iPhoneToday planned by tronikos, as far as I know. But I can't tell more since I'm not the developper of this great app :).

If you need more help on using MortScript with iPhoneToday, please PM me not to spam this thread ;).

volki if i enable the quit app on minimize, when i press the end call button ipt automatically close (also when i close the wm task manger) can you fix these bugs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fuzzed25:
thanks mate .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
All,

I've created a 480px-wide version of the iPhone BottomBar background for use on 480x800 displays (such as the HTC HD2 and HTC Touch Diamond2). This way, you don't need to stretch out and blur the 240px-wide one included with iPT (which I also did).

Also, here's a semi-transparent glass background for the BottomBar and/or TopBar. Enable "fitwidth" and "fitheight" it use it with any resolution without really affecting the quality. Make sure that you also select "Partial transparency" when you select it in iPT. You can't see the image on these boards, but it's there; just right-click and save it, same as the iPhone background. You can see what it really looks like in the latter half of the demo that I made below.

Here's a demonstration that I did for iPT that is very similar to the one linked to on the front page, but with v1.5.4 and less blurry. You can see both of the above backgrounds in it.

tito12,

I believe that what you're asking can already be done. If the icon ends in " On.png" and an " Off.png" exists, it'll switch automatically. For example, if you select "WiFi On.png" as the WiFi icon and a "WiFi Off.png" exists, the icon will switch between the two. The same goes for Bluetooth and, I think, with any other "state" icon types.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Thank you very much Osprey :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Thank you... do you have more sounds? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volki21:
I changed the way the closing is done by introducing a separete XML file with a list of applications that should be closed. If an app is not in the list, you will be asked if it should be closed. Note however that those settings are only saved after leaving the configuration or when exiting iPhoneToday (saving is done in the destructor of CCNotifications). So avoid shuting down your phone if you have made lots of close configurations without saving them or you will be asked again when one of those apps will be minimized again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
folks,

Osprey,

Thanks for the video. I'll include it in the first post whenever I'll update it. Hopefully soon for the 1.5.5 :p

Volki21,

Thanks for your patch. I'll see what I'll include in iPhoneToday. It's just that I don't believe some of your features suit iPhoneToday. It seems to me that there should be in a different application.

Hi all, I new to IPT , just started using it a few days ago, and i am loving it. Anyway, I have been wondering, is there anyway to set the default home page? I have 3 pages and I want the center (page 2) to be default, is there any settings for that?

Have browsed through the FAQs, etc, can't find anything regarding this, any help would be great. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@Kellicros: the first page will always be the first page. There is no setting to change this. Please note you can also scroll up/down and not just right/left in iPhoneToday ;). And if you want to add a weather icon to iPhoneToday, just check my signature for IPTWeather ;).

Is it possible to do this? Only thing holding me back is sizing the digital clocks digits and finding a blank flip clock image, white one, or black if I could do white numbers.

Also where can I find transparent icons? I'd like some for weather that don't have a glossy square look... To give the iPhoneToday more of a Sense UI (HTC) meets iPhone look and feel.

Don't use iPhoneToday as a Today plugin, but use the .exe version, or even the Desktop.exe version, which are installed all together. :rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kellicros:
How do I get this to work? If I understand correctly, this should be the volume profile switch, correct? However, there's no iconset for this unlike the battery and signals icons. And if this is not what i think it is, or it has not been implemented yet. Is there anyway to show/switch profile status as an IPT icon via a script/mod or something?

Any help would be great.

EDIT: I have a few more question regarding IPT:

1. Is it possible to shoe the AM-PM text on 12H Clock?

2. When I turn on 3G connection, the Phone Signal icon goes NA, any fix?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
To switch the sound profile status, I execute BSSound you can find in the BSHenry package. Check this post.

As for what does the "Phone Profile" icon type, it seems it should indeed display the sound profile, but it doesn't work on Windows Mobile 6 devices as described in the issue #23.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kellicros:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
hum... then I would suggested you take a look at Second Today ;), or ask tronikos and wait until a special exe version of iPhoneToday allows to do what you want.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
Aye tronikos I think you should amend this site to the very first post, to help weed out some of the already answered questions that have been answer many many times over and over again!

http://iphonetoday.wikidot.com/faq-s

It came in handy for me a lot when I was setting up my newby winmo phone and iphonetoday! Very well done and written, I refereed to it quite a lot since I don't use iphonetoday but my friend wanted it to be set up for them on their first winmo phone... It helped me to not ask needless questions that have already had thorough answers and how to guides on doing it.

@j101399j

Thanks for help. My device is WinCE 5.0 a thumb GPS System. Therefore OmapClockRemover.exe was not running, after I patched exe, it was running but brought error message. However the real reason was that I made an writing error, changing pathes in mybatterylevel.mscr :mad:

Now it runs again but only as icon 1, I can now transfer e.g. to icon 8, but script is then not working at tap (e.g. shows charging when is unplugged)

Probably not realy for WinCE!?

Another problem is, that my device awakes selfish from Standby now, probably because mybatterylevel is reloading.

Just in case someone else has the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Ok another way to remove the script from the queue is to run the attached script; you can run it every time to need to change the icon location. The battery script should do this already, but just incase it does not. Then make changes to the mybatterrylevel.mscr (the newest version) and set it to the new icon and click it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

Thanks for hiding icons behind the bottom bar. I look forward to trying your next release that includes that change. You're a lot like me: downplay the chances of something being fixed/added, then go off and do it, anyways :).

Also, thanks for the adding the --add and --option commands. I think that creating buttons for those functions will be a lot easier and more intuitive for users than tapping-and-holding.

Finally, the new --goto:# command is intriguing because I think that that opens the door to having separate buttons for app categories (ex. goto:2 to switch to a Navigation apps page, goto:3 to switch to a Multimedia apps page, etc.). At the very least, such buttons could go on the bottom bar or, maybe, on the top row of every page. Like I mentioned before, though, what would be really awesome would be to have the option of a "top bar" that's like the bottom bar, probably above the header. I'm thinking that it might be as relatively simple as adding <upperbar> sections in icons.xml and settings.xml, then adding a call to draw it before the header, much like the <bottombar> section is drawn at the bottom of the page. I suppose that it's not that simple, maybe it's even a lot of work, and I don't expect you to do it, but I just wanted to mention it again in case you find some free time and happen to discover that it's doable. I know that it's kind of not what the shell is about, but I think that people would find it more intuitive than finger swiping and pressing unlabeled circles, and the goto:# command suggests that you're somewhat thinking along the same lines. Thanks and, again, great work on the additions so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

A static top bar that you have requested is in my to-do list but low.

Note that this suggestion has received the most negative votes at http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=4fa9 although it is most probably because I didn't explain it well there and people might be afraid that they won't be able to disable it, in fact it will be disabled by default like the header text.

Everyone,

Regarding my other suggestion at google moderator, the libpng library, I have successfully managed to use it but the loading time of the icons has increased 4 times and the memory overhead 2 times so it's no go. The main reason of using libpng was to make the exe version independent of any windows components so that it is compatible with most devices (PND) but I have already achieved it by using imgdecmp.dll. Also the imaging api supports alpha transparency and I've managed to display it correctly using AlphaBlend but it is kind of slow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
I have voted no to the static top bar suggestion, just because I don't see the point of having one, so I wanted it to be in low priority.

Other than that, it's not a matter for me.

I voted for the libpng library because you have written "for true transparent png icons", so I think it would be a way to have good looking png icons with transparency, because for now, I'm converting all my icons to bmp on black background so they can look nice... but if it is slow, I'm not interested in that feature.

By the way, thanks for your work :)

thank you for the very nice program,

Is anyone using iPT on a lower end device? I have a HTC Mogul/Titan running a custom 6.5.3 ROM. This phone has very limited memory and a slower processor. How is memory usage and smoothness? I'm curious to try it out, but if it doesn't work well on the Mogul, I'll stick with what I've got.

Thanks,

upgrade rom=downgrade iPT=HELP!

I just upgraded my rom (on HTC Whitstone/Imagio). When I install iPT V.1.4 it asks me if I want to enable the Today Plugin. I press yes. But the plug in does not appear. So I re-installed V.1.3 and i do get the plug in. Can anyone help with a solution. I could run the .exe in 1.4, but I like the Today Plug In.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
michoob,

I meant true alpha transparency that allows smooth blending of the superimposed icon pixels with those of the background but it is slow when it comes to scrolling...

Say if a pixel has an alpha value of 20% then it should blend with the curernt background pixel that is behind it and allow it to be visible by 80%.

What iPhoneToday is currently doing is converting pixels with alpha value below 10% to fully transparent pixels and the rest to opaque. In one of the next versions I will allow this to be configurable since I found out that higher values produce better results.

zvi1,

Transparent option is only for the dll version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. I agree. I would disable a top bar by default, too, since not everyone would use it. For the same reason, I also understand it being a low priority.

2. I, too, am a little worried about the alpha transparency issue, because of how important it is to the graphics. It sounds like you have a solution that somewhat works. Hopefully, you can include that in an upcoming release and maybe even find some tricks to make it faster. SystemInformation does it quickly with .ico files, so it should be possible to blend icons/images with the background quickly somehow, no? I, personally, would consider usable alpha transparency a high priority, since the shell would looks loads nicer and more polished with it.

michoob,

A static top bar is mainly a consideration for PNAs which have no hardware buttons, rely entirely on touchscreen input and don't have today screens or modern start menus (but do tend to have more screen space that can be utilized to address some of these issues). There don't appear to be many users of such devices here, so I understand the voting, but there are large communities of them elsewhere. If you do a web search for "MioPocket 3.0" (as a newish user here, I can't post links), you'll find a project (mainly for PNAs) that I maintain and tronikos has contributed a lot to that might give you an idea of the kind of "top bar" navigation that could be similarly possible with iPhoneToday. It's especially convenient (and iPhoneToday's finger swiping is equally inconvenient) when there are many icons and many pages. I agree that it's not for everyone, but explaining it might help you and others understand how it might be useful to some.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Ok, so it is what I have understood from the beginning, but as I said previousely, if it slows down iPhoneToday a lot, then it's no use for me. :(

What I like in iPhoneToday, it is its smoothness with low CPU/memory/battery consuming! :)

Ok, I get your point!

For my needs, it was just not necessary, but I understand why you would be interested in that top static bar feature.

Thanks for your explanation. :D

You should definitively try out iPhoneToday, because it is one the fastest user interface on Windows Mobile, with very low CPU/memory/battery consumption.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Check out the FAQ's post 5, there is a "remove security" cab file there. Try that and see if it fixes your issue. Also Do not install iPT to your storage card. If both of th9ose don't work, I have no idea.

This is very configurable. Press and hold on an icon, a menu will pop up, you can either edit the icon to goto something else, or just delete the icon. That is all in the FAQ's (link in my sig)

Hi tronikos, possible to include gprs data under type? just like the wifi state and bt state....possible to have facebook notifcation or need to do it via mortscript? thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
There's something not working well with this.

I use this mortscript to switch between 2 different IPT sets:

#iPT screen swap, original script by mickael91210 rewritten by j101399j and optimized by bbonzz

#get current state, 1=Normal, 2=Swapped; "" means 1st run
state = Regread("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\PhoneSwap","Swap")

#If reg does not exist (or somehow < 1), then this is the 1st run and state needs to be set
if (state < 1)
state = 1
EndIf

#RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","reloadIcons",1)

#Time to switch, if state = 1; then you are going from the normal screen to the new screen.
#And if state is = 2, then you are going from the new screen back home.
If (state = 1)
#"state" = "1"; so switch to new screen
Copy("\IphoneToday\icons.xml", "\IphoneToday\IPT1.xml", TRUE )
#copy over phone icon.xml file
Copy("\IphoneToday\IPT2.xml", "\IphoneToday\icons.xml", TRUE )
Vibrate (30)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","reloadIcons",1)
state = 2
ElseIf (state = 2)
#"state" = "2" go back to normal
Copy("\IphoneToday\icons.xml", "\IphoneToday\IPT2.xml", TRUE )
#copy back main icon.xml file
Copy("\IphoneToday\IPT1.xml", "\IphoneToday\icons.xml", TRUE )
Vibrate (30)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","reloadIcons",1)
#set state = 1
state = 1
EndIf
RegWriteDword("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\PhoneSwap","Swap", state)

It has always worked perfectly with old IPT versions till 1.3

Now, when i use it, the switch happens, but where, in "new" screen, blank spaces are filled with icons present in "old" screen.

For example: say that in screen 2 of "new" set i have only 8 icons, while in screen 2 of "old" set i had 16 icons, when switching i see the right 8 icons in the first two rows, but also the other 8 icons of old set in second two rows.

See screenshots: circled icons should not be there, since they are "old" set ones (of course they are not in new xml)

Other problem for the old sjToggle scripts: they work, but icons are not refreshed.
