Version v1.8.0 features explained:

New appointment and tasks lists controls:

Tasks are now added and both tasks and appointments have a new list control.

How to use it: press the block in the lower right corner and drag it down to expand the list. In normal mode (non-editing) the extension is temporary, just to peek at upcoming tasks/appointments – swiping up/down will revert the list size to the one defined in editing mode. The expanded list will hide anything that's below it, not just quick links (unlike the previous version).

In editing mode, the lists height is adjusted in the same way (pull down to expand), but here the adjustment is permanent. The previous/next pop up menu now changes the list header type.

Locksreen:

The CHT lockscreen now integrates with the WM6.5 lock system, so it behaves like the default system lockscreen: unlocks/locks correctly around calls, short backlight timeout and screen turns off after timeout even if it’s continually pressed (like in pocket), lock softkey in the start menu works, unlock by stylus, locks quicker than the previous version, gsensor autorotation apps that rotate manila no longer also rotate the CHT lockscreen.

The default taskbar is now shown on the lockscreen with all system icons. You can set a different lockscreen wallpaper.

The HD mini style lockscreen supports unlock shortcuts for missed calls, sms and email.

Because the WM6.5 lock system is being used the CHT lockscreen will only be usable on WM6.5 or higher.

Lockscreen safety:

Currently, the CHT lock screen does not support any PIN code or password protected unlocking.

Remove any unlock codes before turning on the CHT lockscreen or you will be permanently locked out of your device and you'll have to do a hard reset.

If you are using a gsensor app to automatically rotate the screen and you have it to always rotate, you should add the class "CHTLockscreen" to the exception list.

If you don't have the rotation app set rotate everything, but only a list of desired programs, then you don't have anything to worry about.

New quick links types:

Besides the old program, contact and bookmark quick links there are now 3 new type: switches, notifications and miscellaneous.

Switches include: Weather, Wifi, Bluetooth, Phone, Push Mail, Flight ode, Vibrate, Silent

Big Quick Link notifications: Messages, Email, Call History, Voicemail

Miscellaneous: Disconnect Data, Lock Device, Restart Sense, Restart Device, WinMo Settings

Wallpaper controls:

You can set a different wallpaper for any of the following: home tab, all tabs, lockscreen. Portrait and landscape supported (not for the lockscreen wallpaper).

Also new is a wide (960x800) home wallpaper that scrolls left and right with the quick links.

HDWall wallpapers are also supported.

Wallpapers - some notes:

I couldn't extend weather animation below the tab slider area. It should be possible because the animation covers that area in the weather tab and weather demo. But I couldn’t find a way to do it on the home tab.

This is really only noticeable when using the retractable tab slider or on the lockscreen. If you're using the HD mini style unlocker, the weather animation cuts off at the slider so it looks pretty nice.

That isn't the case with the other two styles.

I had to remove the animated wallpapers - not the weather wallpapers, but the 3 animated wallpapers with circles and such. The weather wallpaper animations are fully intact.

I know, I know, some of you will miss them, but I'm guessing not that many. It was just one of those things that would be too much work for a minor feature.

Editable levels:

Instead of just editing the main home screen, now all 4 home levels can be customized individually. With levels I refer to what was once: 0-extended appointments, 1-main home, 2-quck links grid, 4-clear view.

Landscape can also be customized now.

Music Player:

It's about what you’d expect. It’s tied to the music tab, so it uses the same library.

It can be put on the lockscreen where it still responds to touch. Plays in standby.

3 layouts: big, medium, small.

Analog clock 2:

The "analog clock 2" layout is now movable in the x-axis and resizable. To resize the clock go into edit mode and you'll see a small square on it. Drag the square in or out to make the clock smaller or larger.

Notes about speed:

Speed and animation smoothness has been generally improved compared to v1.7.1. You might notice Sense's start up time is a little longer than before, but once it's loaded it's very fast.

Notes about themes:

I changed some of the graphics files, so themes made for v1.7.1 might need to be corrected a little.

Slightly adjusted Requirements and Compatibility:

Manila (Sense) 2.5 on a WVGA or VGA device is required - HVGA is not supported.

While the mod will run on any OS version, the CHT lockscreen requires Windows Mobile 6.5 or higher to work. You can still run just the mod without the locksreen on WM6.1.

The mod is not compatible with other larger Manila mods (like MaxManila or MaxSense). Smaller home tab mods (like transparency) and mods that don't affect the home tab are fine.

Starting with version 1.8.0 the mod has built in wallpaper controls so bg4all mods are no longer compatible.
