yeah !!! and maybe for delete you have to shake the diamond

And use the touch sensititve wheel to draw the pictures!

I agree with Bombzhome, just switch to vertical or horizontal mode, then move your finger around the touch sensitive circle. Also shake to start a new picture is a good idea.

This is a great idea!

That's an amazing idea! I might have a play around

Here's a quick demo I knocked up - enjoy
Use the menu in the bottom left to toggle between Horizontal and Vertical. Use the wheel to draw the line as follows:
Horizontal
Clockwise = Right
Anticlockwise = Left
Vertical
Clockwise = Down
Anticlockwise = Up
The menu on the right is used for clearing the screen and changing the line thickness (I've found thick works best but I guess it depends what you're drawing)...

Thanks a lot for this. A great start! It would be great if you could draw the lines by tilting the device.
All the best

Wouldn't that be cheating and against the "etch a sketch" way..?
My thoughts for an update included things like:
Saving the finished drawing.
Playback to show how, from a clean screen, you drew it.
Ability to load a previously started diagram and continue from where you ended.
Possibly add an option to change the way you draw (i.e. tilt)
Somehow highlight where the current position is

[new release] VJBaseHue

Guys n Gals,
I've knocked together a small program further to ZeBoxx's request.
It's used to set the colour of the soft keys etc, by command line/shortcuts/launchers.
eg VJBaseHue.exe 187
will give you a nice purple colour

really a cool proggy
I am currently testing code by code...I've tried to key in 3 different conbination code...doesn't seem to work though... now am testing the color coding.
Zack, I don't understand. You mean you're trying to find the right hue code by code? The colour wheel on my website might help you, or basically load up any art program, screengrab your theme, and use the colour picker to find the colour your want. Even the standard Windows Colour Picker in MSPaint will show the hue you need.
Post some screenshots in your VGA themes thread if you have any luck :wink:
V
I think I got it now :wink:
guess I must be dreaming lol.I was looking for dark blue and not realise that hue does not come with such colors lol...
Thanks Vijay am doing some minor test wiht my themes I'll post some screen shots soon :wink:
I was looking at VJBaseHue trying to figure out how to get the two bars 100% black (still no luck) when I found something else. Modifying the SHColor value has an effect on the tray above the soft keys. Normally it is an ugly line across the today screen that forces up the scroll bar at the same time, the icons like wirelles use the space. After randomly modifying SHColor the line dissapeared and so did the scroll bar. Also the icons moved down and to the right to be in the corner taking up less space. It seems strange that a colour setting can change the whole layout of the today screen, do yo know the reason for this VJ?
I don't know offhand Odeean, I imagine it might be some kinda buffer overflow etc..
Let me know what values you use, and if I ever get the WinMob source in my hands, I'll have a look!
V
Don't worry, I can't copy/paste from my reg editors and the value is too long to be bothered reading and typing I also have not been able to repeat what happened, I only now seem to be able to make it do the opposite. When I have no tray, modifing it brings it back.

Flash Pimp Clock

Loved the original idea from here:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Its basicly a different visual clock, to read the hours see the left vertical columns and for the minutes see the right 5-rows columns.
The PDF on the site above explains it better...
To use:
---------
- 5 colors to choose from, just press the bottom bar to change colors.
- If you prefer a 12-hour clock, simply click the left numbers after 13h.
- Exit with enter (keypad) or by pressing the top-right area.
- See the "normal" digital clock and date by pressing anywhere else on the screen.
Notes:
-------
- Needs FLASH 7, if it doesnt exit properly, you dont have it.
- Attached the CAB, already with the WM6.5 icon on install.
- Also added a separated swf file, to see it run on your NOKIA, PC or Throttle Launcher..
Enjoy.
Nice idea
Love it! thanks!
it would be cool if it can be a screensaver.
thanks twolf!
WQVGA issue omnia
just wondering if there's a way to make the excess screen on my omnia to default BLACK- then your app would be awesome
maybe even add function buttons - there's some promising update potential
awesome clock - would it be possible to simulate the look of a recessed L.E.D.?
looks good on my armband at the CLUB!!!
Great...very cool with the color options!
Sorry, the software I use for the EXE only allows VGA/QVGA, he doesnt even allow any extra options for the size or screen color.
Use flash pimp clock
I need a macromediaflash for use it. someone can help me?
found it
Yes, yes my first app for the htc diamond.
it`s fantastic........... I`m cry
Standalone app?
Just wondering... what is the program you are using for these standalone apps? I could probably use the same thing to make my own FlashGadgets play as standalones, which would make them work across a broader series of device platforms. Please check out my thread, and tell me what you think. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630985

This looks great i am testing now and i will post my findings later what do you mean by demo is this time limited ?
Yes it is limited to only about 30 seconds this makes it hard to test but it seemed to work fine on my Diamond with 6.1 like the app now all i have to do is get myself a plane to go with it
Nice graphics and gui settings button and all buttons could be a little more finger friendly

Pocket quake problem

Hi, sorry for the new thread
i installed the free pocket quake for my uni, but i don't see anything in the game screen, white, but i hear sounds, in gameplay
any idea to fix it?

Thanks for the help, and have a nice day
From what I remember of trying to get quake1 running on the universal its a waste of time.
The real issue is not the white screen as I did manage to run it eventually, its the fact that the universal is vga resolution. Pocket quake has only developed stylus movement for a qvga screen, so with a vga resolution its all out of wack as you have can only move around with the stylus at the top left-hand corner and not where you are actually pointing.
And if you think you don't mind just using the keyboard, think again...
Also the framerate is pretty crappy, maybe on average, less than 15fps.
Unless you are a programmer that can fix the problems. You should try something else. There are some other great games out there. Transport Tycoon and warfare incorporated were my favorites.
I will be releasing an updated version of Pocket Quake soon. I've already remedied the keyboard and display issues. I will post an announcement on these forums when it is available.
Thanks for the help
ok, apologies for barging into the thread with a request but can you add the option to enable/disable the auto-view-centering when you move? i find it really annoying. If there is and I didnt RTFA then apologies.
also could it be possible to remove any hardcoding on the ESC key? particularly to back out of a menu option, i bound the action to DEL but it ignores that in the menus
BTW for other people's info, i play in landscape on the Uni using the keys as a kind of joypad and have added this to my autoexec.cfg
vid_fullscreen_mode "2"
_vid_default_mode "2"
vid_mode "2"
one of these forces it to default to landscape, not sure which but it does the trick!
Are you talking about PQ1, PQ2 or PWolf3D? By auto view centering, are you talking about looking up or down, and then the view returning to the center when you move?
The latest versions allow you to bind any key to TOGGLEMENU, so you can use any key you want to bring up or close menus.
pocketquake 1 i think, will double check and yes, when you're looking up (at someone on a ledge high up for example) and you move (to track the enemy or avoid fire) it brings your view back to horizontal in a misguided attempt to be helpful.
Yeah, that's the default behavior of Quake. Fire up WinQuake or GLQuake and you'll see they do the same thing. I can add a custom variable to disable that though.
Dan
that would be fantastic, thank you very much in advance!
Has anyone tried these versions of quake?

[Q] see this touch screen behavior? Co-linear touch points cause lost of location

Has anyone used the multi touch app to test their touch screen? It looks like this picture. The program projects a vertical and horizontal line across the screen where your finger is. I've noticed that with two fingers, sometimes one of the finger points "disappear" from the screen when it lines up with the other finger - that is, when the horizontal lines from the two points line up.
This happens sometimes when using two fingers, and all the time when using 3 or 4 fingers and making the horizontal lines of all 4 fingers to line up. Since the program uses pure sensor data, without much manipulation from the OS, I think this means the capacitive grid is actually losing the touch location (not seeing the finger that disappears).
I was wondering if it's only on my unit or if anyone else sees that?
I've tested with my finger far apart and close together when lining up the cross hair lines. The disappearing finger location isn't caused by the fingers being too close. It's definitely disappears when the lines fall on the same "grid" line. It happens on the horizontal as well as vertical grid lines.
Thanks.
Here's the app:

I cannot replicate this behaviour either horizontally or vertically either in your suggested app, or another similar app by jpjoyjp called Multitouch Test. In either case, aligning two or more fingers from either hand on the exact same horizontal or vertical grid line doesn't cause any touch points to stop registering.
For reference, I'm on a 32GB stock Transformer with 3.1 US installed.
Using Yet another MultiTouch tester I can't duplicate that behaviour.
It tracks all ten of my fingers splendidly well and I can't get them close enough to make them confused - well, I get confused though and often lift my fingers from the surface when trying to get close
Works fine here. Btw, the limit seems to be 10 fingers. Had to ask someone to help me with experiment. xD
Added
Wait I think I see what you mean now. When you hold one finger and quickly tap with the second one, it doesn't detect that the second finger is not longer there. The key is to hold first finger in the exact same coordinates.
Hehe or not.. I didn't read your description carefully.

Thanks for trying it everyone. Well, I tried again just now, but couldn't reproduce it. Weird. Don't know...seems ok now.
