help me dev it... i'll do all the graphics, if anyone wants it and knows how to implement it

Looks good, are trying to make this for rlToday?

i have no idea. i literally opened up photoshop and did my thing. i need all your know-how from here on out, if you guys would use it.

Not bad IMO - original concept/layout.

I'll tell you the easiest, and best way to customize this, would be the new WAD2. It's $10, you won't regret it, trust me.

Great design. I would use it, but the only issue I would have is the weather. I am in love with Rumball's weather icons so I like to use that in weatherpanel as my weather program.

Well, we could use whatever weather icons we want, I'd assume, right?
Let me know who can help.

What it'd look like on the Touch.

Try to use WAD2 it is quite easy to use..just load all your images and done

i can add functionality to all the buttons and make the clock function as well?

not for nothing thats pretty sick! awesome job!
i personally dont use wad2 nor rltoday, due to personal prefrence..but if ur gonna do it, im pretty sure users will be all over it!

what's wad2 anyways, i see wisbar advanced desktop on their site but it is not 2.0... is there another program?

What are the cresents on either side of the clock?
I can do the majority of this using rltoday. Only things I wouldn't be able to do are:
-alarm notification. I know there's a way to do it using mortscript but I don't know the code.
-the battery indicator can be done using sys-2-reg. not hard but another program to install.
-the volume button would just link you to the volume control or maybe toggle between mute/loud?
-the signal and connection indicators I couldn't do.
-there's a weather mort script on the rltoday site that I could use.
-the hour and minute hands on the clock would just be straight lines. I could use PNG files but for some reason doing that sucks up a lot of memory.
What else? Just need graphics.
EDIT: I think I just figured out what the cresents are!!! If they're indicators for the battery, volume, etc. then this is way out of my league.

yes they are meters... it's sort of like a hud. well... is there any way around using wad or rl to program this... are there any crazy programmers on this board even capable of something, or this just too extreme. i can give you the graphics, just tell me the formats you need everything in.

Looks promising.
I like today screen with many information displayed.
It would be fine if that could be used with SPB shell.
Really nice design skanndelus.
Cheers

If that's for me then the files would need to be in PNG format.
The "HUD" is a great idea but no way would I be able to do that. I'm sure someone else can....
Actaully, if you can find, or make a font file that has those shapes I think it can be done in rltoday. Would need sys-e-reg though.
Now you have me thinking. Great!!!! I'm going to be up all night!!!!

Yes WAD 2 can do anything..you can set the path to the app and clock, weather, everything gestures also..WAD 2 is still in beta..so try it

ooo where do i DL

WAD 2 download on their site... or do i need to sign up, or pay?

Animated Today Screens

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

LG Prada Flash

UPDATE:
No, this projects not dead, just been extremely busy with work.
All menu items will be configurable!
Links and images will be uploaded shortly.
A flash file made from LG prada screenshots.
The clock moves and most of the menu works. i Havent completed it yet, and there are not animations yet, please try it out and tell me what you think, some of the links may not work on your phone as i may have different file names, if you do i will be more than happy to change. so just test on your phone and see what works and what doesnt.
UPDATE:
New startup screen
contacts now had pocketcm and icontact as a option
IMAGES :
LINK : http://www.mediafire.com/?50dy57fnnt1
Please note, put the Prada folder in your root file, and link startup.swf to a button, or put in your startup folder.
Please give feedback.
Its a fun little toy but isn't really useful at the moment. Can't do a single thing with anything that uses a dial pad on screen and none of the ok buttons work for me.
yeah its just a concept, but would people actually use this if i had to develop it more, with the new flash just around the corner nothing would be impossible, but i want to know if people would use it, that is its basic purpose if people do like it i will further it and make it able to send sms, and make calls etc...
i'd use it
thank you
it s beautifull, thank you good job
Keep on going
Nice "flash lite" programme.
Is anything configurable?
Only 1.2% CPU Usage, the cube from ByKa takes up to 70% of CPU Usage and drains the battery.
Continue the good work
Prada Interface
Can,t wait to see the fnal product. I like the dark theme you have going for it. If I were you I would give it a flash and style animatable icons and movable icons. I see where you are going though...

Not sure if I'd use it much (iPhone gui makes things way to easy to access ) but I would use it to show it off. Seems simple enough for others to fully rely on fully and is graphically pleasing.
if it will work with a magician, i would use it! love the simple graphics...
Oh yes, if it really worked I would use it. It looks great, much better than iPhone wannabe skins. I have to admit I do currently use an iPhone skin because it's simply usefull. I like the Prada style much better though.
a counter for missed calls and sms would be cool! the first screen reminds me at this:

very nice work...keep it up
this program kicks ass. so much more of an experience rather than just a skinned launcher. keep it up. *subscribed*
ok so i have started developing more. If youve tried it you would of noticed that the signal bar and the battery meter show your phones status, ive done the calculator, the dial pad and almost finished the send messeage and mms. You can either use the given on screen keyboard or your own, will keep you guys updated. Thanks for the support
wow, sleek'n sexy(i mean screens on 1st page)...
joshuawittstock,
the interface looks great. is there a way we can change the destination of the menu items . . . such as, contacts opens icontact or pocketcm.
ok , well almost done i linked menu's to different apps, for e.g when you open phone book it will show you a menu asking whether you would like to use icontact, pocket cm etc... are there any special "requests"? ( things that you would like to see in this project? ) im also planning todo a rss reader. thanks
hm... it should work with wm2003... what about a button for backlight? or some space for a weather plugin on the today screen?
can´t wait to try it!
dial pad
are you going to create a flash dial pad or are you going to link it to cprog? i can't wait for the final product.
extraducksauce, i am going to create a dialpad in flash identical to the one found on the LG prada. im also going to be release 'test' models to see how it works on everyones phone, i would like somebody with wm 2003 please try the first link out and tell me if it works... im having a bit of a problem with the writing a message. so i wont release that just yet.

LedBanner for wm5

hy there,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_OWpp8vT8&feature=related
is it possible to make it work on wm5?
possible - yes
Whats the point of this application?
That's actually a pretty cool idea.
Wonder if something could be made where you wave the phone in the air and a message is displayed like you had on that Nokia phone or those message clocks.
the point is that if you are in a place where is too much noise (disco) or no possibility to hear one another (train station, two different cars etc), you can transmit messages very easy. the display of a pda is wide enough to be observed at long distance. a flash lite program for this app would be excelent.
Great idea for WM application! "Programable" (text and color) led banner. For me very usefull (on lesson) and cool looks...
Seems to me like a big waste, that's why it's avail on the i****e, nothing much more it's good for, except a LED Banner. If anything, a today plugin with this would be cool.
I only know a piece of software that creates LED gif animation. Like this:

I would think it's not that difficult to program for WM. You just need to make font template or pixel matrix (the latter should save memory since each character is like 16x12LED = 16x12x2 bits) for a-z 0-9 A-Z .,'... then scale it up to screen size and let it scroll. Just that it may be hard for the more serious programmers to justify spending their time on this.
maybe a less serious programmer will do it, after all
How about creating the program to create LED gif images on the devices, to be used as backgrounds for S2U2.
Easiest way is to use flash

Well it's not that hard. Flash -> download a tutorialfile from the internet on how to make it. Adjust it to your wishes, save as flash 7 or flash lite 2.1.
But why won't you do it, when you want it?
If it's an easy way to program it, this would be an excellent first project for you to jump into.
Good luck!
it will be more nicer if its not flash program..well maybe likje .exe file

It only takes 1 click to open a flash file. It's fullscreen and you can make lnk files to it.
Flash is a programminglanguage, much like any other language. It has it's disadvantages, but when it comes to animation and graphics, like what is requested in this thread, it's superb! Easy antialiasing of all objects. Smooth animation.
It's possible to make an exe file run flash animations, but then you need some other programming languages to work it out, or you can use mortscript and make an .exe

[6/10/08] Tippy v.1.1 [Open Source] UPDATED!

I made a little something for you!
Tippy is a bill splitter and tip calculator for Windows Mobile. It was designed to work on all resolutions and to never require use of the stylus.
I improved many things with v.1.1. Lots of bugs were fixed, UI was made easier to use and a big button SIP was added for number input. You should definitively update if you have 1.0!

I was affraid the demand would be too small but seeing people are interested I'll pursue development a bit.
VGA for devices is ready (Force QVGA) but it needs .net CF and I didn't want it around for a first release. I'll also add more currency symbols as suggested on another forum.
Something I did that I would like to see more often is settings saved to text files. It can be edited easily by anyone and leaves nothing after uninstall.
Thank you for sharing!
I am definately going to try this out.
Great idea!

feature request
i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).
keep it up

That's interesting. I'll try G-Alarm and look for what you are talking about.
I might add a pop-up form with a keypad when you click the text box and see how this work.
I don't like the look very much so I might add a cuter UI (skinnable ) if it doesn't slow down the launch time too much.
I love the idea, and tried it. BUT the calucation is WRONG. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Oops! You are right! Once you start messing with the amount of people present it gets ugly. I'll fix that soon enough!
I don't test my apps enough
I fixed the results so they should be accurate now.
I'm currently working on a big keypad to type the amount. I will also add some languages and currencies and eventually skinnable interface.
UPDATE:
I made the following changes:
-Tip is now accurately calculated
-The amount is entered using a SIP keypad
-The + and - buttons for tip and people are now changing individual digits instead of the whole number. It's much faster and easier to enter it now.
-Changed the look a bit, fixed control resize errors when rotating screen, VGA should work well.
After all I won't add a skinnable UI to save space and keep the app fast and usable.
I only have a few minor fixes left to be done so I should release v.1.1 tomorrow. (I'm on Ubuntu and I'm too lazy to reboot... and Vista sucks).
Ta-da! An update!
A lot of stuff was fixed, including all of the suggestions except languages

[IDEA]WM6.5 Easy Hide Titanium

I'm not thinking something like my snapshots I photoshopped up would be possible, but it would be nice to have an easy-hide button for Titanium rather than going into the Today screen settings.
I guess the mockups are something I might have if I was a Microsoft 6.5 Engineer. Basically I just copied the Hide/Show Desktop Button from Windows 7, added some Arrows from the Lock Screen, and added the Lock Screen clock at the bottom.

I'd like that!!
If this were the default lockscreen it would be much more original that than the iPhone S2U that Microsoft is trying to copy.
Think, if your alerts could shoot out of the arrow part and you could slide them up or down to retrieve them. To unlock the phone, just drag the arrows to the right. All with smooth animations of course. The arrow part could simply change color to let you know you have new alerts. When you tap it, the number of alerts slides out along with the individual alert slider.

I never thought of making it a lock screen. I guess if someone were to create a whole new lock screen app like that, it would be possible to make one that was like my designs... But I am still interested in the idea of easily hiding Titanium.
Good idea.
It looks like S2U2.
i would love to get this on my phone if any one can develop it haha...great idea....... love it.... lets hope some one can make it...
support this great idea
Looks like something that might be available on "7". But would be awesome if we could get it here and now. +1 for notifications linked to the appropriate panel, ie. you get an email: the email hidden tab would blink/change color/show email icon and you could slide that tab out to check it.. brilliant concept.

such a simple idea....absolutely brilliant. I would love to have this
the closest thing to this now would be s2u2 actually. just a matter of skinning it to look like titanium. and you can slide and titanium would show!!! i know not what you had in mind but hey it's the closest you can get =D
i like it...but maybe make it a lock buten?? sory for my englisch
cool idea!!
it would be much nicer with this in touch in my phone
Nice idea!
very nice!
GR8 IDEA
but... mayde, why not it 3D?
Cool idea
Yeah that is a very good idea !!!
great Idea if someone could find a way to add page to Clock PANEL then You could just creat an exe to lock phone right?
