[WAD2] Working on a concept: Feedbacks? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

So, I'm working on a concept called Devonshire and I'd like to get people's opinions on it.

What I want to do with the photo stack is actually keeping the white frame and cutting out the photo so users can add their own photo underneath to simulate their own photo. Is there a way to do to this and make the photo cycle at a predetermined interval?
The Home Page icons are all new and semi-transparent. The 1st icon will bring up a sub-menu with 6-8 most common used programs. The 2nd icon is the phone icon. The 3rd icon is the alt-tab icon. The 4th is the S2U2 icon.
I'm thinking that pressing on the clock will open the "next appointment" dock.
What do you guys think?

Terrific concept. Look forward to the finished product.

I updated the first page with the five different tabs side-by-side. Right now, I'm about 80% done with getting things installed unto WAD. By later today, I should have a version that I can upload here =D
For both the apps/settings page and contacts page, the bottom right and bottom left corner of the book will change the pages (docks).
I have a question: For the home page, is there a way on WAD to make the photos change every 5 min automatically?
Also, I haven't played around with the built-in agenda in WAD, but is it possible to use the graphics I have for the agenda (Today header strip, highlighted strip, day header strip)

Any feedbacks?

It looks a little cluttered to me, but it still looks nice.

I am looking for a launcher plugin with large icons
cLaunch
try this:
http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
is there any application which is "simpler" no needs for the tabs and pages...
just a quick launch plugin with large icons (thumb pressable) to quickly open some applications
tdLaunch
You may try this one:

but Claunch is really good, once you gey used to it
What is the GUI Skining application you are using that "!STILL!" shows the phone signal icon. Most GUI Skinning apps cover this info up! Please let me know I can't wait, so excited! :shock:
GUI skin
The picture is not a screen capture of hops's XDA but taken from oabsoftware. And you are right, I didn't notice this. We have to ask them what were they using when they took this picture.
yes please do! I see sometime people doctoring the display to make their product look nice but, it really gets a lot of people excited about something that does not exist I have seached long and hard and nothing seems to be able to do it without cover the signal bars :evil: so I thought it might be pocket blinds a new version but they still have the old one out from years ago no update, and it doesn't work. So needless to say my hopes are high here. So keep us posted I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this 8)

Bringing the taskbar to the bottom of the screen

Hello Everyone, I hope you all are fine.
I saw a photo of an imate jam (the one I have) who's taskbar was on the bottom of the screen. Here is the photo:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
May be its just me, but I cannot find any way of bringing it down. I want my phone to look more like real windows and the taskbar on the top doesn't look very good. Also, as you can see in the picture, the address bar of the PIE is also on the top, just like the real IE. Somehow everything in the above phone is setup to look more like real windows. It would be so great if I somebody could suggest a way to do this.
Is this possible? Of course its possible when someone has already done that. But the question is 'how.'
I expected a better response here on XDA-Developers. I posted the same question in another forum but people there didn't seem to be too intelligent. But I'm surprised that even among people who are programmers, I can't see something that could be encouraging.
If you're a programmer reading my post, you could perhaps take a hint about this from Pocket Notepad. When I run this program on WM5 (on HTC Wizard) it does the same effect: Brings the taskbar to the bottom, exactly as I am wanting. It looks very beautiful. But as soon as I close or minimize pocket notepad, everything goes back to its normal position.
actually i wanted to see how to do that too, because to me the bar on the bottom just seems more "normal"...

Concept: heads up display

Would it be possible to create a program that acts like Yahoo Widgets' (Konfabulator) HUD or Apple's Dashboard? In other words, dim the today screen and load a few light widgets (calendar, to-do list, weather, time, etc.).
Kind of like this; pictured with Grumps' iPhone launcher.

This would be fantastic!
That would be great, especially paired with a decent screen lock. I mean, when screen is locked and a key pressed this would show over today, when unlocked, it would go back to today.
I like the idea. S2U2 does some of that already but I like the detail of the pic.
Curious G.
actually, S2U2 does all these things..
It would be nice if s2u2 would take a snap shot of your actual today screen and fade it out before adding its own graphics (ie slide bar and sms count etc) over the top. Might be a bit much to ask though i guess

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i agree. i use often my yahoo wigets hud on my laptop to catch snipets of information, plus they just look great. anywho, how cool would it be if there were a base engine and open sourced widgets for an application? one click (e.g., center button) to bring up the hud to and one to close.
here's another concept:
evilc..is kinda working on Today screen Widgets..maye he can shed some light
Yeah mine was more basic though, but there is a new project starting which looks really promising: XIAMultiTheme
Open source and can load widget dlls - will be nicely extendable methinks.
the only real thing i would like to see a quick calendar (even if it were text only) and day runner.

new ListItem

Hey,
Ive written a Listcontrol with Scroll support. It supports scrolling, activating
and dragging ( wait short when touch the Display, then you can drag ).
This Zip contains two files, grid view and list view.
It would be nice if you can test it, and give me a feedback. For testing it is also a little ApplicationLauncher, which should work for english ROMs.
It requires .net compact 2.0

The control itself seems to work fine on my T-Mobile Wing, although the font in the grid is way too small and the grid's scrolling seems smoother than the list's. The list is kind of slow.
Also when clicking on the task (outlook) application in the start menu (both list and grid), it crashes:
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfor startInfo). It's part of my recent programs list, so I don't know if that could be the reason?
Do you plan to release the control?
Working ok on my prophet grid icons and text to small list just plain white grid runs better and managed to start screen shot

Hey,
thanks for your answers, its nice to show you're interested.
I have just changed the ListView, so it scroll like the Grid one, and shows Icons.
With the icons and App Launch Exception I have to look, what could be done, but I will find a reason ;-)
Sorry for second Post,
I have now changed the Font size in Grid view,
you ll find it in Atachment
greets doena
PS: please dont use the minimize button, it doesnt work well

[Q] Any Uses for the S-Pen Button?

Hi,
My unit should be coming tomorrow and I was just wandering any cool tricks for the S-Pen button?
Thx.
They act as mouse left click select ..
Mark text like youd do with a mouse on a pc.
Other than that, the image clip is handy IME, for quite a few things. My most recent thing was making a quick S Note document to share with travel companions by clipping flight info from email, hotel info from my browser, directions to the hotel from maps with handwritten circles around nearby landmarks naming them, and weather info for the trip. Sent it to my travel companions with email as a PDF, they could print it or keep it on their phone. Really quick and easy.
example:
{
"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"
}
Other than that, taking a picture and drawing over it has been quite useful, for instance Im attending a course on a new piece of SW for my firm, I can take a picture of the interface, circle around a particular feature on the UI and make a note about that particular bit, instead of having to describe what part the notes are about for that particular segment (like say marking the taskbar in windows 7 and noting that you can pin programs there) which is a lot easier to teach on to colleagues.
Hold the button and doubletap the screen (even lockscreen depending on your device lock choice i guess) to instantly get action memo up.
Iunno... stuff like that? Theres a lot more about the SPen itself, but for the button Im not sure what else to tell you off of the top of my head.
Apps can also use the button for things - for example LectureNotes allows to use it to switch to eraser.
