[Dev] rlToday

I've made a new small Today Plugin, which makes of XML Files like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<today height="100">
<AnalogClock x="0" y="0" clockface="blueclockface100.bmp" />
<AnalogClock x="200" y="0" clockface="blueclockface40.bmp" />
<Text x="210" y="40" text="Korea">
<Font size="8" />
</Text>
<AnalogClock x="200" y="50" clockface="blueclockface40.bmp" />
<Text x="210" y="90" text="Mexiko">
<Font size="8" />
</Text>
<DigitalClock x="160" y="120" format="hh:mm" />
<Image x="110" y="3" source="ical.png" />
<Date x="130" y="23" format="d">
<Font size="20" weight="bold" font="Tahoma" />
</Date>
<Text x="90" y="85" text="(c) by Andre Adrian" />
</today>
a screen like this (the part with the analog clocks):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would like to here your ideas for such a thing.
sincerely,
Andre

good work ! thanks

Fixed some Bugs, runs a lot more stable now. Skin is choosable in the INI File in the Program Directory. Settings Dialog is prepared.
I've put the actual Version in the First Post.

Very nice! For some reason it does not load for me, gotta play with it when I wake up today.

This plugin is what i have been looking for. And it is very customizeable too.
Thanks a lot Rotlaus.
EDIT: my xda mini's display hangs after a few minutes when i use the plugin.

</AnalogClock>
All these Parameters are optional.

Thanks for the new version Rotlaus
ive posted it on my blog
http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/06/rltoday-freeware-pocketpc.html

Thanks rotlaus, takes me back to my ms smartphone days = when I used to design my home screen through xml!! I still love my spv c500 . I will enjoy fiddling with this and getting it set up the way I like it - cheers!
EDIT This is what i managed to do :wink:
EDIT 2 It would be good if when you clicked on the plugin that one of the options be the clock\alarm settings screen - thanks

I am pretty sure it will - you will probably have to edit the xml file so that the position of the clock etc.. is to your liking.

meschle,
Thanks, it is working in VGA, the problem is the resedue of the pink background retains at the edge of the images. Unlike your attached image it is clear. Also I tried to reduce the font size (size=6) and it seems not working.
One more, Can I reduce the size of the Clock (let say 20), I am woried about the arm of the clock, it may not fit to the clock face.
Thanks,

Hi - I have edited the images to get rid of the purple\pink effect :wink:
I think size 6 font is a little small for the screen, try 7 or 8 - clock size 20 probably too small - the one on the left of the screen is 16 and wont allow the arms to show.
I have images 60, 40 and 16 which are all edited to remove the pink\purple effect - find them attached in the zip below.

Wow, it is clear now (how did you do that?). I still cant change the font size. I hve to do more reading I suppose.
Anyway thanks for your help, at least I have a descent clock now in may jasjar...
Oppps...! one more problem... the plug-in background is blur. it is supposed to be transparent like the others.
General comment: a litle bit enhancement and this software is great...
Cheers,

I edited bmp in photo editing software.
In mine its fully transparent.
Try my skin.xml - you may find it easier to edit as its simplified - attached

Sorry for the delay, i was very busy the last days.
New Version in the first Post.
Changes:
- no fiddling with the transparent color (pink), i support now real PNG Transparency
- also Alpha Blending is supported
- For the analog clock hands you can now use graphics (See the swiss skin attached to this post). This will look like this:
But beware, this graphic clockhands are very memory hungry...
cu,
Andre

Thanks rotlaus - will update my skin and images as necessary - cheers!
EDIT the dll for this has gone from 78kb to 429kb - how comes such a large increase??

This is cause of the new graphics library which enables real transparency, alpha blending and the graphical clock hands.

Filesize has grown too big in my oppinion. I don`t want to waste huge amounts of space for something as simple as a today plugin. If you could reduce filesize or make a "light" version or something it'd be great.
Anyways, besides from the size, great work, thank you!

I could drop JPEG Support. I don't need it. Then the dll would get around 350Kb. But still big. It'll grow anyway cause of future features that i'm currently developing.
@all: Do you need JPEG Support?

New Theme Idea (With Screenshot). Anyone want to help me develop it?

Hello,
I quickly put together a picture that represents what I want my theme to look like (XiaMultiTheme). I want it to be small, quick, but have a classy look. I could develop this by myself, but it could take awhile, but having someone help would speed this up greatly!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would like the wallpaper to change depending on the chosen weather location. Is there a mortscript to change the Today Screen Wallpaper depending on the weather? (I know this is available for S2U2).
No icons in this screenshot are original, so I will either have to get permission to use them in a final version or create my own.
Please tell my your thoughts, and contact me if you would like to help develop it!
Edit: I am using XIAMultitheme, but having trouble with the XML. For some reason, nothing is showing up with certain code. Also, is there a good visual XML editor I could use? Right now, I just have to edit the coordinates...

I think that its quite easy to get this look with weatherpanel. There is allready exists a weatherpanel theme that have this look and the background changes depend on the weather. I think it is bliss alive theme. Maybe needs some tweaking but its for sure can look like your picture.
For clock , missed calls and the other stuff, you can use rltoday and make a skin with the graphics that you have in the picture. Again its quite easy to make it(you have allreade the graphics part) and can looks the same like your picture.
And finally I think that you can use XiaMultiTheme(or for sure Ultimate Launch) to load these plugins(weatherpanel and rl today)

It is all one can make by means of XIAMultiTheme. But need make weather wallpaper. Good luck!!!

Hi,
i think its all makeable with rlToday only.
Theres simpleWeather.mscr for weather and changing
"normaly" an weather-icon but when your weather-pics are big,
you can edit it as background-pic for rlTodayScreen.
The Buttons and texts are allways configurable with rlToday.
Maybe 1-2 hours for work ?
Look here, theres a developer-kit also : klick
Edit :
i try the first time to skin in rlToday, so this is the summary.
Not perfect...change the icons to a size what confirm.

Thanks guys!
I am hoping in later versions to have those icons link to different screens in the theme, such as the Windows Media icon linking to a screen with the album art and audio controls, the mail icon linking to a screen showing the most recent text message, and the phone icon to link to a favorite contacts list. Would this be possible in rltoday?

Not free, but this can all be done with phoneAlarm and PocketWeather, as well ... just to give you an alternative.

Well, it will not be free when out of RC state, but Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 will make you easy to build everything you want

Hmm, I would like to use free software, so XIAMultiTheme it is. I will start developing the UI first, then work on the scripts for the background. Maybe someone with experience in XIAMultiTheme could help me with the mortsript? That is probably the only thing I don't know how to do (for now, this is my first skin, I don't know what I might run into )

Here is something I did a little while ago using rl today and weather panel if you want to change it. This cab basically changes the background based on the weather. You can change the update interval in the mortscript but is still limited by weather panel update. FYI: Weather Panel needs to be running on the Today screen. I found that if you go into the weather panel file that is for the today screen and delete everthing that it will still update and it will not show up on the today which is what you want. Let me know if you need anything.

edited the code again,
i hope it may help :
http://rapidshare.de/files/40116689/bigWeather.zip.html

I have the script working, but it seems that XIAMultiTheme won't change the wallpaper... so I guess I will use RLToday to develop the theme. Can I make different pages or tabs in RLToday?

yes, you can change the wallpaper in XIAMultiTheme, i try to change the picture or icon in my theme, but maybe this is a stupid way.
first you need to write the mortscript move the existing picture to other folder then copy the new one to the original folder and redraw today screen.
and i think the XMT is a easy way to write a Multi Page Theme
sorry! the above way is a really stupid way, the easy method is your picture is not a wallpaper , that is a icon and change it by registry

i would do it with batterystatus. it is easy to change the wallpaper if you set it as image in the background and the other elements are implemented in short time

Maybe I'm being stupid, but HOW do you find the x/y corrdinates??? Is their an XML editor that you guys use?

I using S2U2 and hope weather paper shown on today , can you modify yours script to yahoo weather , so I don need to install weatherpanel ,can you help me ?

ThrottleLauncher Widgets (Sample: S2P Widget)

Hi!!
I've released a prebeta of 0.9.4 version to public. This version has the posibility to include moveable widgets. I post this thread to show an example on how to build simple but powerfull widgets.
For example I've done in about 20 minutes this S2P widget:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The code is this one:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<panel name="S2PWidget" width="116" height="106">
<icon X="0" Y="0" path="widgets\S2PWidget\back.png"/>
<panel name="Cover" X="3" Y="3" width="70" height="70">
<icon path="widgets\S2PWidget\album.png" exec="#@S2PPath#" height="70" width="70">
<event type="MouseDown"><action execute=":Script" parameters="S2PWidget:Set(MoveLock,true)"/></event>
</icon>
<icon path="#$Registry,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\CurrentAlbum#" exec="#@S2PPath#" height="70" width="70">
<event type="MouseDown"><action execute=":Script" parameters="S2PWidget:Set(MoveLock,true)"/></event>
</icon>
</panel>
<icon X="83" Y="5" name="Prev" exec="#$THROTTLE#\Util\S2PControl.exe" params="Previous" path="widgets\S2PWidget\previous.png"/>
<icon X="78" Y="35" name="Play" exec="#$THROTTLE#\Util\S2PControl.exe" params="PlayPause" path="widgets\S2PWidget\#$Registry,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\Status,map,[0-pause|default-play]#.png"/>
<icon X="83" Y="75" name="Next" exec="#$THROTTLE#\Util\S2PControl.exe" params="Next" path="widgets\S2PWidget\next.png" />
<text name="Artist" X="3" Y="70" width="70" height="30" alignment="Near" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="7,true" text="#$Registry,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\CurrentTitle#" leftmargin="0" textheight="30" textwidth="70" topmargin="2" spacing="0" />
</panel>
As you see it's 16 lines of code for a realtively complex widget that controls S2P .
To install the widget just un compress the zip file to \Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Widgets and it should now appear when you click the plus button of the widgets page.
If you include Mortscripts in the ecuation.... you can have almost anything done!! .
Hope you'll find this interesting and contribute if you develop cool widgets .
edit: I forgot. You can also include any widget in any page you want by adding <widget name="NAME"/> where name is the folder of the widget. This way you can design module based themes and you can reuse components from one theme to another!
Thanks!!

i'm gonna hardreset and start exploring your new beta.. try to write something of my own as well..
thanks man.

Widgets are in the last tab of the footer. You should see a page with a [+] icon on it... click on the [+] and a dialog must show with the available widgets. Select wichever you want and hit ok, they should appear after a little delay....

Amazing job, this app just gets better with every release
I will try some tweaks myself asap
Thx for your job !

i have done it,its really easy to customize,tnx,now i delete album art to make it less in height,only track info and buttons

AP, can you describe some more Event types? I cant seem to find the documentation on that. Also can you describe the scripts as well that are mentioned in this line of code:
execute=":Script" parameters="S2PWidget:Set(MoveLock,true)

Sorry... I know this is not documented still... that's what the wiki on my web is for .
This is what I can give you right now....
You can specify event's inside Elements and inside pages. Inside each event you can specify as much actions as you want. Here you have an example you can place inside a Page to make it lauch an app:
Code:
<event type="PageShow">
<action execute="#$THROTTLE#\Util\PruebaMAPI\Message2Reg.e xe" parameters="#@SMSAccount# Refresh"/>
</event>
Possible events are:
- For pages: PageLoad,PageUnload,PageShow,PageHide,UpDownGesture,DownUpGesture,LeftRightGesture,RightLeftGesture,ChangeToLandscape,ChangeToPortraitvalid for pages.
- For elements: Click,ElementUpdate
- For elements inside rows with advancedevents="true" (like the widgets page): MouseDown,MouseOver,MouseUp.
Possible actions are (the same that for icons and texts)
- Any executable file with params
- age (parameter is the page name to load)
- :Exit
- :Apps2Cat (parameter is the category to assign)
- :Reload
- :OthersPage (parameter is the page number)
- :Minimize
- :Config
- :ConfigSetup
- :Script: this is the most complicated. execute=":Script" and the param must match this pattern XXXXXX:YYYY(args). for example: <action execute=":Script" parameters="Battery:Refresh()"/>
XXXXXX is the name of the element to change
YYYY is the method to call. Methods supported are:
o Set: Set(Property,value) will set the property to the target value. Valid properties are Name,X,Y,Width,Height,Visible. LocketState is also valid, if set to true the element will follow the finger arround the screen and inside it's containing row until it's released.
o Refresh: supports:
+ (). Will update the whole XXXXXX element
+ (num) will update the XXXXX and the num pixels arround it.
+ (numX,numY) numX means margin in X and numY means margin Y.
+ (x,Y,Width,Height) all the numbers represent margin. To update an especific area watch the next command.
o RefreshRectangle: suports (X,Y,Width,Height)
o Add. Supports (Property,number) will set the property to the property value plus number. Only valid for numeric properties.
o Complement. Supports (property). Only valid for boolean properties (Visible). Will complement it.

WOW!

Annoying problem with text message and keyboard/pad

Hi, really hoping for a bit of help here, this driving me nuts.
I love the idea of threaded messages, but I have a problem with the keyboard overlaying the last text message in the thread, so i cannot see what i'm typing.
I have to click the keyboard symbol in the middle of the bottom part of screen to hide the keyboard/pad. Then click it again to bring it back in view, and only then does the message history/text move up the page and allow me to see blank section that the typed text is going to appear in.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've blanked out the sweary
Thanks
Mick

Nobody else have this issue?......Just me

No, I have the same issue, keyboard on/off appears to be the only resolution as you indicated.
The other annoyance is you can't resize the lower input portion of the window into the upper response side of the window therefore leaving you with only two visible lines. Typically you could touch this line and move it up or down to suit.

hope they have a fix for this. i hate not knowing what I type.

its either that or the keyboard keeps jumping around.. or the list of msgs goes down so i cant even see the recent ones but the old ones..

Yeah it is a pain that the 'old' messages get more screen 'real-estate' than the message your actually typing out! Two lines of text then you gotta p**s about with tiny up/down scroll bar
Is this a HTC thing or a WM6.1 thing?
And if its HTC, can we log a complaint? Having the texting sorted is pretty fundamental on a mobile phone!

yay
i found a solution here u are hope it help. also change the font size
Hey... I assume you're talking about the threaded sms input space?
YOu can increase the space but will need to change the thread_sms.htm file. I've done that and it works fine. It was rather irritating to just see like one line of message text. Anyway... here is how to do it:
Here is howto:
1. Open Total Commander
2. Browse to the "Windows" folder
3. Find the file: thread_sms.htm
4. Press to edit with the little notebook below from Total Commander
You will see the following HTML Code:

Replace the height "35" with "90"
Like so:
height=35 to height=90
N.B. You can put the value as much as you want really....just see 35 as 2 text lines
The hack is really the same for all WM devices that are using threaded SMS and is not omnia specific but hopefully answers your question biggrin.gif

Hi,
I tried the trick proposed by Morgin187 but I still have the same problem as Gasman, meaning when the conversation is long with many replies I can not see the last ones as in Gasman picture...
Any other idea?

Same problem on my new FUZE
Same problem on my new FUZE. My Treo let me see much more of what I was typing, not the numerous threads of previous texts (which I don't really care about). I really would like to see a more lines of what I am typing (abigger window). I would like to try what Morgin187 proposed but what is "Total Commander?" Where do I find this folder on my FUZE with Mobile 6.1. Better yet, does anyone know if this programming fix really works? I don't see any posts that say it worked for them.

I can confirm that the solution morgin posted works.
If you search through this forum, you'll find a whole load of threads in which people have verified it works.
Total Commander is a free alternative file manager for WinMo handsets.
A couple of seconds on Google will find you a download link.

the problem i have is when i get a text an try to reply the keyboard when come up an go away then i when try to hit make the keyboard come back up again sometimes it will do the same thing. I also dont like that i can reply to a message but the phone still shows i have a new message

You go to reply to a text and the keyboard disappears, then when you tap on the text entry area, the keyboard pops up but disappears again, right?
The answer is don't tap on the text entry area, tap on the keyboard button along the bottom of the screen.

Thanks, yes once I installed the Total Commander cab I was able to edit the code as noted. After I saved the code change I didn't see any differnece in the space, but then I restarted the phone and the change was evident. Thanks again!

By the time you're getting past the splash screen of Opera these would be fully loaded

Can we pick and choose which widgets to install or is this all in one big pack? Thanks by the way

You can pick and choose. When you extract the file you will see all the widgets in there 50 of them you will also a see a cab called "enable widgets" or something you have to install that before you can install any of the widgets.

You can install just the ones you want. Unzip the widget pack and copy over the .wgt files that you desire. Be sure to install the "Enable Widgets WM6.5" CAB file first, then install the .wgt files just like a CAB.
ptyindian beet me to it... Enjoy!

Pardon my stupidity but I have HTC vogue and I tried to install it. It says "succesfully installed" but I do not see any widgets in my program folder. So it will only work on fuze/VGA/6.5? device? I do have opera installed BTW.

i am assuming you have 6.5 on the vogue. did you install the "enable widgets wm6.5" cab before installing the widgets? This should work on any device as long as you are running 6.5

I am running 6.1. I should have figured that out. Thanks for the quick reply.

I wish we could zoom on the widgets and stuff so reading the text can be easier maybe someone can figure out how to add zooming to the widgets.

I used the simplest code possible so the config file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<widget version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
id="">
<name>Dragon Steel Mods</name>

<access network="true" />

and the html looks like this:

<body bgcolor="#000000">
<iframe src="http://dragonsteelmods.com" width="100%" height="100%" style="background-color: white;">
<p>An error has occured.</p>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Changing the width and height just change how much is shown on the screen and not the font size (so zooming out just means there's dead space but the fonts don't change accordingly). Any ideas on how to zoom or how to add to the soft keys would be appreciated. Thanks

yeah i tried playing with the xml file and the htm file and changing the zoom in the htm but that did not really work.
