Wow, I must say this idea really surprised me... I had to google for "adding machine" :D but I understand the "5, + (shows 5), ..." part, it seems like it needs editing only one or maybe two lines of code (well, maybe more, I don't remember what kind of nasty things I wrote :D).

This should be so easy to do, so I'm gonna do it right now so I can make a new update as soon as possible (the Calendar widget I promised is still going to take a lot of time and I don't know when it's going to be released).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cheapestpersonalive:
haha, I'm glad you understood the idea. most people who have never used an adding machine wouldn't grasp the concept, but it is really useful.

anyways, looking forward to your update.

I give up for today... I was trying to put checkbox on the calculator widget, it showed up fine, but wasn't checkable, now after more playing with mode9 and lua, my CHT and Sense do weird things.

Looks like I smoked too much weed today...

Nice work keep it going

Is it posible to create album widget (i mean simular to e-mail and sms widget).

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZaxXx,

what i have seen in the m9 file is:

But i missing the bold one in the file.

Can you add these one in the next release, or before that? Then i can change

the values for that ;). Otherwise the middle point is not really nice.

And here the screenshot for the new positions. You see sqrt, MR and MS?

These three buttons must be around 9..10 pixel higher in position.

The changed mode9 file is attached now for the next release...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock can monitor this. And it is free.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Hi,

sorry, the Calculator source is very messed, because it was more an experiment than something what should be released as open source :D

Some of the "elements" (buttons, labels) in mode9 file are positioned in the mode9 file, while some of them are positioned only in Lua script. I know this is a problem and I'm considering a complete rewrite of the calculator widget, so it won't be a problem for you in the future. Right now, I'm afrait I can't help you. Just wait for the future release.

EDIT: BTW Good news! I got invitation to CHT Dev Feedback group today and it's good source of information about Lua and Sense as I have access to CHT 2.0.0 beta source codes (including built-in widgets sources) :) I'm not going to develop anything soon, instead I'll study these codes :) It's worth it as it'll improve overall quality of my widgets :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZaxXx,

i have read it a half hour ago, welcome to the team at all. I hope now we can work togehter ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Calendar widget seems to be pretty tough target for me now, instead I'll create a Pages switcher widget. It'll be here today or tommorow, I've got it almost finished ;) This widget will be able to switch only between pages, not levels. I've also found a way how to make widgets easily skinnable, so you'll be able to put for example screenshots of pages on every button to make a nice preview ;)

EDIT: Widget released :-P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrBeOTP2:
keep waiting for Calendar widget ! :DDDDD
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZaxXx,

we all are waiting for your work. I hope you have found what you are was searching for ;);)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Hi

I found a lot of stuff, but I think I need Co0kieMonster to be here :D He's the Lua guru and he can teach me very much. But the CHT sources are good too, without them, I won't be able to create the switcher widget (still buggy - I just woke up :D).

It seems it's not good for me to plan something (like the calendar), browsing the source codes and findin something useful and trying to use it is much more fun for me.

The calendar is difficult to me - I don't know how to get day of week from system time plus I haven't finished the layout yet.

I'll fix and upload the switcher within an hour or two...

EDIT: It may take much more time, because when I try to pin the widget, it just disappears and I have no idea what causes it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
OK, it should work fine now, widget uploaded :)

EDIT: I must say that I personally like it very much :D I can finally get rid of 3x2 layout and switch to 5x1 layout with instant access from everywhere to everywhere :) And the pages preview looks nice on the widget :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi ZaxXx,

looks interesting and i have installed it in the good way ;).

issues:

- i see only one white filed with no picture.

- the resize is not working because the pin for that is out of the screen. For the screenshot i have moved the white field to the right site (position issue)

- i can't use more then one of the fileds

- i can pin it, but then i jump every time to the first page in home

Possible you can write a little how to. Because i don't understand the way of working :confused:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
1. Please, look if you have any files in \program files\zaxwidgets\switcher

2. This should work, try moving widget around, the resize button may be out of screen (I don't know how to position this button well)

3. Probably because of problem 1., the number of fields is loaded from registry

4. Again, maybe because of problem 1.

I'm sorry for this, maybe it's some problem with the cab file...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Thanks for fast reaction. Here my directory:

\Programmabestanden\ZaxWidgets\switcher

It is the dutch version. I will test it with \program files\zaxwidgets\switcher

Report1:

tested now with the wwe program files and it is working. So it is a language issue.

On pinned the buttons are away to most right site and so they are invisible on the 7 screens.Mhh....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Yes, that's the problem, because the texture addresses in mode9 file are beginning with "\Program Files\", so copy it and it should work fine :)

EDIT: good to know it's already running :) thank's for feedback
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Nice work here ZaxXx.

It seems you are getting a little more familiar with Co0kie's great tools as time goes on.

Keep up the great work. It's nice to see others use what has been laid out so well for all to use.

My small contribution is attached.

Use if you wish.

If not, that is fine too.

I see it previews the page once they are all loaded anyhow.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Thanks :) I'll put it in future release, unfortunately I don't have time to do it right now, my guitarist just called me that he wants to play so I must go :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
i am looking inside the cab and is really great how you use the files in .png format directly in the mode9 file.

about the problem no.1 mentioned by mike, it is because the folder where the pages are saved, in my case it was no in program files but the Spanish 'archivos de programa' so it works after copy and paste manually ZaxWidgets folder in 'program files'

EDIT: i see i am not the quickest this side of the river :)

still have to be solved the size button

EDIT2: forgott to saya big THANKS :)

@santod040:

you are to fast. Now i can stop my work ;):D:eek:.

You're welcome.

Yeah, that's a great reason to head out.

BTW:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Download and install the cab again ;) It was positioned to x=1, y=-1 before, it's fixed now ;)

EDIT: well, not really, you can't use transparency, but it will be fixed too soon (maybe this evening)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I will do so...we are really fanatics...but wait :cool:. The things will be change :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Button 1 should be fine, just as the rest.

If not, it is in the code maybe.

I will take a look shortly and see what I come up with on my device.

Yes we are, aren't we.:D

Great to hear it.

I like it a lot.

Well, hopefully he can answer them for you soon. ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
@santod & ZaxXx:

these are my numbers for the switcher. Based on some simplicity template here from XDA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Looks good mike, nice one.

Too bad this widget has some bugs on my device, with my setup.

It's a nice concept. Nice job so far ZaxXx, and I am sure it will only get better.;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
@santod040:

yes the pinned bug is the one issue i have. Yes and the little white lines left and right from button 1. But this will be solved, i am shure.

@ZaxXx:

what have you done the last time (update) before i have asked the 1st time because the white line issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
I did some changes to the widget, so now it should not have the annoying white background. I don't have time to test it, so all feedbacks are appreciated!

EDIT: to the pin bug: I'm not really sure what causes it. My idea was that it happens when the widget is too large and overlaps to other page, but I get the same bug with built-in widget Text clock, date only layout...

For now, I have no idea how to fix it. But it works fine when using 5 or less pages, when you use more pages, try making the widget smaller, maybe it helps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
about that i am here ;).

I have followed your advise to resize the widget. It was only ONE move smaller in resize. But it is working... when the widget is small enough then it is to see on every page. Yes it is working..cool, for now :D

Question:

You have fixed the size of the buttons in the manila files? I ask because i have used smaller buttons then santod040. Possible that an issue that it is working now?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
All of the buttons have 170x170 px. I did no changes to this, I've only put transparent background to the widget "base" - that's the part of the widget which can be dragged in edit mode, it's located on the same position as button 1 and that's why there was the annoying white background.

The problem of resizing is that it needs changes in code too, because I do all positioning in code according to how many pages you have enabled, like this:

for i,j in ipairs(self.pages) do
j.Position.y = 0
if self.countPages >= i then
j._visible = true
j.Position.x = 169*(i-1) --169 because when I use 170, there's 1px free space between buttons
else
j._visible = false
j.Position.x = 0
end
end

I think when you use different size than 170x170, than it should resize itself to fit the button, but I'm not sure with that...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
@ZaxXx:

yes i have used the typical buttion size of 128 by 128 pixel. When it is resize inside the code to the default (co0kie) then it is clear that the space between the buttons is smaller then in that what i have seen in paint.NET. That is then logical. Thanks for the info, that helps to understand the way of working.

About the two white lines issue i will take a deeper look. But it is strange when the transparency is active :confused:.

But for now it is working without an issue. That's important. I upload the buttons from me for tests. Who will do this please use the buttons. They are free!

BTW: the 100th posting, congrats
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
1. I must wait for Co0kieMonster, I'd like to ask him how to integrate widgets with CHTEditor, then I'll be able to give user a choice how large icons he wants and even how much space does he want to have between the icons :-P

2. I'm going to test my new cab right now, maybe I forgot to press "save" in mode9editor - unfortunately this happens to me very often! EDIT: I didn't forget :D

3. Good to know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
The same happens to me sometimes :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Question:

it is possible that we can have the stop watch based on this screenshot (posting #70)?

UPDATE:

i am working on it ;)

It is ready now. Not perfect because the default frame, but a beginning.

Copy the CHTmode9_manila to windows directory and restart your phone.

So as i say. It is only a test. Possible we can use a different background frame.

Widgets for CHT 2.0

Widget Suggestions:

am thinking about a volume widget "+" and "-" in the Music Widget( hate the hardware buttons ), a Lyrics Indicator for the Music Player and a cool loading animation with %-Status when the phone is on a charger...

And one question..where the hell is the Thread for CHT2.0 Widgets to stay informed about all widgets???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donwhann:
hello, whats the page switcher like?, is it stable...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
S2P widget: I have to cooperate with A_C to get enough knowledge how to control S2P

Volume widget: Maybe possible, but it won't be integrated into the music widget. I can do only stand-alone widget.

Lyrics: Will be pretty difficult, if not impossible..

% status when in charger: I don't do any animations, sorry.

Thread for CHT widgets: I don't know about any, I know only about this one and it contains only my own widgets.

Page switcher: It's very stable, I should say - the most stable and bug-free widget I've ever created. I use it every day, you can too without any risk.

PS: I'm still very busy, but I'm almost finishing all stuff I need to have done. But still - don't expect any new release before Christmas, I think (or maybe "I hope" is better) next release will be as Christmas present at 24th December (no promises!!!).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola ZaxXx, you´re almost right about the "...I don´t know about any...." It´s this one, rat´s, Poyensa´s, Dunc´s,.... and of course the CHT thread :D And you´re completly right about first fixing, and then new ones and also what Mike proposes - try to make a compilation of what you guys have in one common thread ;) This would also help users to post their "Christmas List" :p

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fredcom2:
Hi,

CHT2.0 is very stable for me, and I like it very much for all its customisation.

But I probably miss a point on the lockscreen...

I enable the cookie lockscreen, I put some widget (calendar, calculator), but my problem is that the LockScreen stay onlight only 15 secondes, and then turns off.

It makes no difference if I touch or not the screen (the unlock button works well, it's not the problem).

So, is there a way to modify the time before the screen turns off in the lockscreen... because only 15 secondes to use the calculator is not enough ;-( ?

CHT2.0

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digibum:
Hy! I have a great idea. Take a look at my design picturs and you will know what i want to achiwe.

This is a superb Note sistem that i found in an old SonyEricsson phone. It shows a note "window" every time you unlock the phone.

In this case, the note shows over the home panel. Wee could also have a small widget to show note in lock screen.

Read the text in note for more details.

If anyone is interested in this, please make it work. I'm not a software developer so i cant make this more than a picture :$

Bad news for you guys :(

So my promises that I'll have more free time for widgets development can't be fulfilled. Unfortunately for you (fortunately for me), I got some more work to do and it has the highest priority for me. I'm also going to school every day so I really have only a little of free time.

There are some widgets I'd like to have too (including calendar and quick notes), but, well, every day still has only 24 hours and for me it looks like this: 01:30-06:30 sleeping, 07:00-08:00 travelling to school, 08:00-15:20 in school (I have really bad school schedule this year, plus I'll do graduation exams this school year), 15:20-16:20 going home, 16:20-00:00 working and relaxing, 00:00-01:30 playing with my phone in bed.

There is some free time, but the problem is that my job is writing kilobytes of code every day and I want to relax at something different than with writing more code, which requires even more concentration and is more frustrating for me, because I have almost no Lua knowledge. I prefer watching some movie instead.

So if you're very impatient and check this thread every day to see if there's something new - don't do it any more. I'm pretty sure I won't have much free time until 1st February and if I get some more job, then you will most probably have to wait until I finish the graduation exams. Then - after finishing school - I'll have plenty of time for both working and developing widgets. I hope there will still be people owning HTC devices with WM and CHT.

There's also one good news: when I finish my work, I'll get pretty much money and I'll buy myself HD2, so I can pretty much promise you that I'll be working (sometimes) on my widgets until, let's say, 2013 or 2014 (if nothing happens at 21.12.2012 :D ). The reason why I'm gonna buy myself HD2 is that I hate iPhone and I hate Android. I love the PC-like approach of Windows Mobile and I'll stick with that as long as possible.

BTW: I noticed there're some more people working on new CHT widgets (for example here) and they look pretty much better than mine, so if you have any new widgets requests, I guess you should ask them, not me.

I hope I'll be able to continue with widgets development soon :)
