I can neither accept, nor understand, why you went into a discussing infight instead of taking 10 seconds time, listen to me and download Osprey's package.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apax:
question, why is version 1.5.3 a beta, this is not live yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
schlork,

You're over-reacting again ;). pfonck evidently didn't notice my most recent post (which you linked to), which is perfectly understandable since I didn't display the images in the post. The last two posts of mine in which I posted images had the older package attached that didn't have all 10 charging levels. I thought that I had updated them, but hadn't. So, it's partly my fault. I've now updated them with the final package so that no one can miss the newest images now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Osprey00,

please explain

again

!!!

It is only few pages to read to know all. I did it and I know it!

However, I hate if people don't make any effort to read, but only ask, but I understand also sometimes it is not very easy, crippled search functions etc. But anyway I gave the instructions, but instead to do, he went into a discussion and don't spend any second to prove my recommandation. I really dislike that! Sorry, if you therefore criticize me, I better be quiet from now on:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

I like the following muted volume icon a bit better, since the symbol seems a bit more standard (at least Windows uses it for muting instead of "x") and this one stands out from the speaker a bit less than the other. If you agree, please replace the one in iPT with it. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pfonck:
Schlork and Osprey00, thanks for the help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Sorry folks for the late replies but my laptop's graphic card went crazy. I am now looking to buy a new affordable laptop. Till then there isn't going to be any new release. I guess I'll have to upload the 1.5.3 beta to googlecode...

1. Yes I am planning to implement theme/skin support.

2. You can use AppToDate.

2. I might change its default value to "%".

3. I could save the settings.xml whenever iPT loads or exits but for performance reasons I prefer not.

Your different styles for RAM image cycling look nice but I don't know if such a feature would be really helpful... But since you got into the trouble of creating them I might add it. I guess I will also have to add a setting to specify the maximum free memory to be associated with ram100.png since obviously it can't be the total memory available.

Did you try the 1.5.3 beta? It should solve your issue.

1. Yes because it changes the volume level not the ringer level.

2. I'll have to check how I could programmatically change the ringer volume and vibration.

Currently it isn't possible.

This sounds like a good idea. It will be the first thing I implement once I have a working environment again.

Uhmm... in this case it won't be that easy. I'll see what I can do.

Maybe Osprey00 meant the PM you sent to both of us. Anyway, let's please not flame.

Thanks. I'll replace it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

2. Yeah, making % the default symbol for the battery, as well as the volume (I would think), would be nice.

4. I was afraid of that. Don't feel that you need to implement RAM cycling just because I made the icons. It really took me only a few hours to do all of those styles, and I knew that it might be wasted time and did it, anyways, because I enjoyed it. As for helpfulness, though, you might actually argue that it makes the images more helpful, since the amount of RAM listed as free is not relative to anything (ex. 20MB free would be a lot for a 32MB device, but not for a 128MB one), whereas the images would, instead, reflect percentage of the total free and might actually be somewhat more helpful than the text. Again, though, don't feel that you need to. I just thought that having those three icons function identically would be consistent. If you don't do levels, you can still use the single icon that I did and move the text to the top 3rd, as that would make it look like the other two, just without image cycling.

5. 1.5.3 beta is pretty nice and stable. It think that it'd be fine as an official 1.5.3. BTW, if I may make a suggestion: go on eBay (or another site or a local store) and purchase a 2.5" external hard drive enclosure so that you can connect your laptop's hard drive to your current computer and, later, your new laptop. That's a nicer option than waiting to a buy a laptop to access your data and gives you extra permanent storage in the long term. Speaking of eBay, I've bought laptop motherboards from there for under $100. That might be an option for you if your laptop is worth repairing, if you're sure that it's the graphics processor (i.e. not the LCD screen) and you're willing to take it apart (not to mention confident that you can put it all back together, heh).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Osprey00,

5. Thanks for your suggestions. I have a 2.5" external HDD enclosure and I had already looked for a motherboard on ebay but it costs about $200 which is too much. Taking the laptop apart is not a problem, I've done it many many times before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LEX@N:
1.5.3 is nice, with every update another script goes obsolete. Thx for your hardwork and thx to Osprey and Chancer for the meter icons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Indeed, but I guess IPTWeather will last longer, if not forever :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Anything on icon backgrounds? I mean, tronikos, you dismissed the idea because of these arguments:

But the first is, as Osprey already said, not what I meant, while the speed issue can also be easily solved:

As for alpha blending, would it be possible to add an option to pre-blend all the icons to their specific position on the wallpaper, like when setting a mainscreen background, even when using the wallpapers tab? That way the icons would look a bit ugly when moving, but that doesn't matter much, I guess, besides the alpha threshold could still have effect. Would this be possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Livven,

I don't really see the need for such a feature. Sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jagan_n:
Thank you

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
Well, there are many icon sets (for example this color-coded one, or Anastasia, etc.) that mainly consist of special icon backgrounds that are uniform in size and shape, so if there was such an option it'd be like creating your own icon sets on-the-fly just by changing the icon backgrounds. Further, they could also indicate which page your are on (if you could set different ones for each page). There are also other people who liked this idea... but, in the end, it's your hard work and your decision :).

What about the suggestion concerning alpha-blending, though?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xfindeer:
Hi,guys,Can anyone tell me how to add a icon point to "start manu"?

That is very useful to me.

Thx! This is a great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nheric:
It's easy : add and edit your icon and write "--winkey" in the execute section

et voila :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Add new icon, in field "execute" write \windows\fexplore.exe

In "parameters" write \windows\start menu\programs.

And oh by the way, not all of us are "gays" here :D Did you mean "guys" ?

Edit: nheric was faster than me, his method opens the menu, mine opens the start menu in explorer

This is a very good app. It makes windows mobile simpler and easier. I installed it on my mom's, who is a grandma, phone and it made her life much easier. She had such a difficult time before using her smart phone. Thanks dude!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rast4man:
I'm having a problem with the IPT staying on. When the device turns off then back on, it doesn't load with the phone. If I click IPT and turn it on, when I get an SMS and reply to it, it will go back to my TF3D on my Touch Diamond while it's still running in the background. I have to click it in the task list in order for it to switch to IPT.

Any ideas why it's causing this? I just did a hard reset on the phone and started from scratch and I don't remember this problem when I was running IPT before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
IPT has 2 versions:

1. dll version : this appears as a today item

2. exe version

When you click on ipt, it starts the exe version. To make it start automatically, create a shortcut of ipt.exe and place it in /windows/startup folder

For the dll version, when you install ipt it will ask to enable the today screen. you need to say Yes to it. In case you didnt do that, you can go to Settings > Today > Items and check iPhoneToday. You should have installed ipt on phone memory
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rast4man:
Thank you very much for the help. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out why it would just stop while still technically running. I appreciate the help and kudos to you. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Just to show, what crazy brilliant idea's growing up with IPT.

Credit goes to Bo Dennwelle, who had this idea and also made the graphics, while I did the little programming.

Thank michoob but what is the proper syntax ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robsno:
1.42 seems to have fixed the problem with Agenda ONE I had, well done, restoring the icons does not seem to work, must be the new XML, Oh well hopefully this will be ok with future versions if I re do all my icons in this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Have you tried the following?

Run("\Program Files\iPhoneToday\iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe", "--relaunch")
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
I don't have iPhoneTodayCmdLine.exe in my directory. Is this normal (I use the zipped version) ?

Edit: I took the file from the cab but it still doesn't work..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Sorry, I don't want to be unthankfull and agree it is a wonderfull app, with or without animated icons. With version 1.42 it works as per your description on my PND device, before it was of no use. But still animation of icons is a "would like to have" for me, but not that important.

BTW does an iPhone have such animated buttons or is it the same there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Hi

Yes it has - this is the whole point for animation, to look and act like iPhone does :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Thanks for the information. But the point for all posters here is, we have some kind of devices with Windows OS (CE, WM5/6 etc.).

But we don't have an iPhone for any kind of reasons

We all like to have an iPhone functionality, but, now I speak for myself, if anything could be done better

Why not!?

...Just my two cents
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Of course this is the goal, maybe it will be achieved some day :)

Meantime consider this:

Windows can do Iphone but Iphone can't do Windows :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tediberus:
really nice !!! lightweight and very useful. i get the white screen flash during launching of apps though .... i downloaded the three versions ....

and running the .exe itself seems to work best on my Omnia i8000 .... as it takes up the entire screen ..... unlike installing it as a plugin in TODAY screen where windows start buttons at the bottom of the screen still shows.

how do i get rid of the white screen flashing ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
The whole conversation above your post is about the white screen flashing :p

This is the animation trick that is not completely working. To disable it go to edit icon and uncheck the bottom box :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Fixed. The problem was that I was using the color of the lower left corner pixel as transparent for .exe and .bmp images but now this trick is only used when imgdecmp.dll is used since it doesn't support transparency.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robsno:
My comment earlier was because I did not realise the Iphonetoday directory had moved into the program files directory, I copied my ICONS.xml in there and all the old icons appeared.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
My phone has hanged after having filled the registry values for the reload feature.

Even after a soft-reset, the phone was locked on the PIN code screen.

It's seems like iPhoneToday has gone to 100% CPU...

Isn't there a bug that may go to an infinite loop?

I had to hard reset... first time in one year I have to do that after having used an app... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
michoob,

Did you use the --reload command?

Which version are you using? If you downloaded v1.4 immediately when I added the --reload command then this might be the reason since I stupidly set the timer to 0 (which means that it was continuously checking for notifications). I fixed it some hours after my original upload:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
I have used the iPhoneToday-1.42-wm.cab version, the one just after the r64.

In fact, I didn't use the --reload command, because I started my test using the old fashion iPhoneToday 1.3 way: I've filled up the icon0 to icon11 icons, and then set reloadIcon to 1 in the registry, and my phone hanged.

After a soft-reset, still hanged :( and nothing to do but a hard-reset :(.

Is the problem with the reloadIcon set to 1 or perhaps the registry keys iconX?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluenote73:
I don't think you should ever have to hard reset -- as I was telling somebody else earlier, when I caused IPT to hang on me, I connected the phone to my PC, and renamed the IPT dll so it would not be findable, then rebooted the phone which will revert to plain today screen. Assuming you are using it as a today plugin, that is ...

Perhaps someone can help me. I downloaded the iPhone Theme offered by OP and also downloaded the Diamond TF3D Config tool. I extracted the theme into a folder and copied that to my Internal Storage on my Touch Diamond and then launched TF3D Config. When I pointed it to the folder where the theme is, it doesn't do anything. It's like it doesn't recognize the theme or path to the theme as valid and I can't install it.

Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong please?

Thanks,

least ram impact

smoothest movements

over all more options.

Hello!

I use 1.5.3 beta3 but options doesn't work. And i change settings via settings.xml. But i can't find all tags and attributs for settings.xml.

Can anyone share settings.xml with all options and comments ?

For example:

<Battery AC="" ShowPercentage="" ChargingSymbol=""/>

<Volume ShowPercentage=""/>

What is AC, ShowPercentage and ChargingSymbol?

And can i change size of font on volume and battery icon and how ?

And another question ;-)

Can i close iphonetoday and start another application by click on icon ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
anton111111

<Battery facename="" color="15132390" width="25" height="70" weight="900" left="0" top="0" right="0" bottom="0" AC="0" ChargingSymbol="." PercentageSymbol="%" />

Color, width, height etc. defining the size, position etc. of the text within the icon

AC="0" means if the device is plugged it still shows percentage "1" would mean it shows "AC"

I believe PercentageSymbol="%" is self explaining

ChargingSymbol="." shows "." in front of percentage when charging

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. What about making text labels clickable, so that they can launch apps?

2. I was watching a video that someone made of the HTC HD2 and it showed a bottom bar that is not static. It has 8-10 icons, but only 5 displayed at any one time. You sweep your finger left or right over them to access the rest. I think that that would be cool and useful to have in iPT. What do you think about making the "static" property of the top and bottom bars optional so that that would be possible? Basically, then, if "ShrinkToFit" is 0 and "IconsPerRow" is set to a value less than the number of icons defined for the bar, then allow for left-right (no vertical, obviously) scrolling of the bar (and in 1 icon increments, if possible). This could be a really nice addition, especially for all of those who use an iPhone-like configuration of 4 bottom bar icons and wish that they could have a few more, but without reducing their size. Also, it would allow others of us to have as many icons on a bar in landscape mode as I have above, but without "ShrinkToFit" making them so small in portrait mode that they're almost impossible to press. EDIT: I'm sure that you can visualize what I'm talking about, but if you'd like to see HTC's implementation, anyways, skip to 12:20 of this YT video. Obviously, you can't make it quite as cool as that, but basic resemblance would be more than fine.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tronikos:
Anton111111,

What do you mean by saying "options doesn't work"? The options dialog doesn't appear at all or it doesn't save them when you press OK? Could you try the version I uploaded some pages back that creates a log when accessing the options dialog and upload the log here? Could you try it ASAP and let me know so that I could fix it for the next release?

Osprey00,

1. Done. That was easy. Check attached executable.

2. That would be nice but I've no plans implementing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

1. Good job. It doesn't really seem to allow for the icon-less text that I was trying for, though, since it looks like you're simply extending the clickable area of the icon down. When I have a 1x1 blank icon, the clickable area of the text ends up being only 1 pixel wide. Is it possible to have the text box clickable on its own, so that it's not dependent on the icon size? That would do what I'm trying for and would also address those more-normal situations when text labels are quite a bit wider than the icons, themselves. If you can do that, it'd make the feature even better (especially for my uses), but good job and thanks for this much.

2. No problem. I just thought that, if the bars were simply crippled copies of the mainscreen, it'd be pretty easy to uncripple them and turn on more of the mainscreen features. I guess that it's not as easy as that and that you made them static not out of design choice, but design limitation. Too bad. Well, if you end up thinking about it more and deciding that it's worth implementing, it'd be neat, but no pressure.

3. Would you please change the validity check when saving changes so that values less than 0 and values greater than 255 are allowed? Quite a few settings work just fine with negative values and values greater than 255. For instance, I can set negative offsets for the mainscreen and bars via manual editing of settings.xml and they work in iPT when I launch it, but, once I try to make a change in Options, an error pops up that the offset value is invalid, which it certainly is not. Similarly, I can set a value of 300, for example, for movement velocity via manual editing of settings.xml, but, again, as soon as I try to make any change in Options and save it, an error pops up. So, the validity check is way more sensitive than it should be. You could make it check simply that the values aren't fractions or have non-numeric characters or something. I have an interest in using negative offsets, so I really look forward to these errors not occurring... err, erroneously :). Thanks very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Livven:
What about this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schlork:
Just my two cents: I struggle with the problem that often while flipping pages, I start a program by accident. I tried to eliminate by creating more space between icons. Enlarging clicking area will not be a benefit for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
schlork,

I don't think that enlarging the blank space between icons is the real solution (besides, the newest change doesn't affect the horizontal spacing at all, FYI). You should try adjusting your movement settings, particularly "movement threshold." I almost never accidentally launch apps when trying to scroll (and I have a device very similar to yours, as you know). I just scrolled frenetically for a full minute, even doing so very lazily to maximize the chance of accidental input, and I couldn't get a single accidental launch (and that's with the clickable text labels). My movement settings are 15-4-20-140-20, if you want to try them. If they don't work well for you, play with the values to find a combination that does. Accidental clicks shouldn't happen with the right settings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Osprey00:
tronikos,

I don't have a WM phone yet, so the SignalStrength special icon never caught my attention (since I can't use it), but it occurred to me today that it (if does what I assume it does) is a natural for levels, much like the volume icon. If it happens to interest you to do SignalStrength levels, here are some icons that I've whipped up:

Same as with the others, the percentage can go in the top 3rd. You could also use them with "Signal Strength & Operator Name", as well, with the operator name going in the bottom 3rd.

The following attachment includes all of the above and "Background #2" and "No Background" versions for those who prefer to use those, instead.
