Quick question. Has anybody developed the IE scroll for the PPC/WM5? Second has anybody developed the open and close of applications animations?
Thanks in advance.
IE scroll --> don't know
Animate window is in Tweaks2K2 .NET , but I don't know ,is it ok for you , just try
looking for a free app, heard of tweaks2.net but would rather not pay.
actually, something that animates smoothly like the iphone and scroll are available. The one I've just heard about is itask over at the Lakeridge website. It works with wisbar I think. And as for the scrolling effect. It depends. If you just want that in your contacts list, there are a couple here like icontact or contacts manager that has the finger scrolling effect. But if you wanted it in all programs like Internet explorer, you might want to check out the touchflo stuff. Its ripped from the HTC touch device, but they have gotten it working on the wizard already, but it still has its bugs. Try it out and make the decision yourself. Hope that helps
the program PIE has a screen drag for internet explorer
Picture Scroller
Is there anything Like the Iphone Picture scroller available?
Thanks for the replys, I saw itask, im not running wisebar (wanting to see what I can do with freebies for a while). I used Icontact for a while, had some issues scrolling and clicking contacts etc.
I cant find that PIE app (searched google and mainly get..well pies..lol)
im searching out the touchflo now, but not seeing Apache, missing something?

Try searching for 'Pocket Internet Explorer', I believe that is what it is called (although I don't use it. I use picsel browser at the minute with my iPhone theme)
You don't need Wisbar Advance to use iTask. It uses Macromedia Flash 7 and Mort Script to work which is entirely free.
PIE is "Pocket Internet Explorer" which is built into most Pocket PCs today. What you need to look for is PIE Plus which uses PIE and adds tabbed browsing, finger scrolling and lots of other goodies. It's not free but worth it. Wisbar is also worth it for that matter as it is inexpensive
Whatg would you guys say is the most like the Safari browser? I have only used Picsel but have heard of opera mini 4 being like safari, and also deepfish.
iTask is pretty awesome unto it self, (im gunna play with it..lol), but im more looking to use the standard application of the phone and just add the animation when opening or closing windows.
PIE Plus seems to be exactly what I want in regards to the internet apps, but dont want to pay for it..Anybody know of another free app?
^^I'd love the transitions from itask, but on wisbar.

I edited your post...LOL
Why did you do that. I think I would want the same thing delude wants.
I want those iTask transition animations to work on Wisbar Advanced Desktop
Meaning I wouldn't need iTask anymore.

The basis for this thread is pretty simple.
Let’s create a list of ideas that could possibly be turned into xperia panels.
I figured that since the xda forums are pretty much the first place you would go for to get info it would also be a good starting point to initialise ideas for panels.
Turboguard mentioned some already.

like a Youtube panel, facebook panel etc.

The YouTube panel for example could be the "YouTube DeskTop Version software" integrated into a xml panel with an ability to choose other popular streams.
My suggestion would be a panel that allows you to remotely control winamp or wmp through bluetooh. There are tons of applications out there that do the job already but it would be awesome to have an acctual dedicated panel for it with maybe 4 big buttons and some track information.
I used to use a program called ControlFreak on my symbian that pretty much turned my phone into a remote control.. I wouldn’t mind having the same type of feel for winmo.
Maybe there will be coders out there who might be interested in turning the top suggestions from this topic into actual panels.
So fire away with your suggestions guys!!! ))
1 A ps3 bluetooth remote panel.
2 A blank panel similar to G-desk on uiq where u can make your own desktop as you wish with as many pages, shortcuts etc as you want.
3 A panel similar to fish panel but more colourful with different creatures.
As has been mentioned on other forums a BBC iPlayer for us UK users would be cool - given that Apple iPhone has one I can't believe they still haven't got a streaming client for WinMo yet....
A panel which has a nicer interface for email (as opposed to the rather drab version under WinMo)....
I'll think of some more later
Ah - for those interested in such things (and I am not) social networking panels i.e. Facebook etc. would actually really push on the phone in terms of popularity and thus attract more developers to the Panels concept....

Yeah, i miss my old G-Desk after leaving UIQ for Xperia.
I also miss a way to reinstall the original panels. I have lost some of them, today panel and media panel, after trying out sbp mobile shell. You can not download them and i dont want to do a reset.
What about a coreplayer panel? Just as a shortcut of the prog, like the media panel, but for the coreplayer.. Or just an DivX panel dunno, but I think a more detailed multimedia panel would be useful.. But I think hard work tough:s greez, cad^^

I think there is a way, look in windows folder, there is some cab's there that could be something, worth trying...
A youtube/online video panel and a facebook panel would be GREAT!
And I really liked Rontysee idea about a blank one where u can do whatever u like =)

Good idea, but there are no cab for MediaExperiencePanel or SonyEricssonPanel.
I had to restore them by restore the registry. Lucky for me that i had a backup.
It is a bit strange that you can not get the original panels from SonyEricsson download.
from what i've been able to see from looking at the sonyE sdk
then it should not be too much trouble porting any pure win32 c++
program into a panel
with .net one may have to make a c++ win32 stub which launch the .net
program in a frame
So who is going to be the first one to make a customized panel thats not official? I bet its going to be one from Xda =)
How about an appointment panel with all your appointments categorized and updated?

Sounds like you might be interested in this program if the author made it into a panel format

Developer competition for X1
Hi all, I was pointed to this forum at inxperia.com because of this conversation about panels.
Thought you might like advance warning of a competition for windows mobile developers to build panels for the X1. Winner gets an X1 and their panels installed on the next batch of X1's.
I've posted more details on my blog. Hope you'll be interested
i wish as a panel, the TASKMANAGER DYNAMO. (the xperia panels are not comparable to a taskmanager with screenshot function.like dynomo... *G)
dynamo looks like xperia panels, but it takes actual screenshots of all opened applications, every time you switch the app.
it will integrate perfect to sony`s/htc`s (*G) UI design and will enhance it extremly.
thats, what in xperia`s panels is missing.
>"Panel Panel" if 9 panels aren't just enough
>Virtual pet panel
>I agree with the email panel
>Txt/MMS panel
>Panel with a "Cursor" (for optical trackpad)
>Instant Msging panel
>Windows Vista panel/shell (something like SPB)
looking at this site: http://xperiancers.com/2008/09/26/your-xperia-questions-answered/
To the right, there's a tag cloud could be a panel that links to apps, the more you use the app, the bigger/bolder the font.
AND the panel program must update there`s icons with actual screenshots of running apps.
(spezially the fish tank`s time!! and status of the fishes!)
Must Have 4 Free Spb Panel
here is a free cool panel: SPB panel 4 free!

Hi Folks,
I have a Touch Diamond 2 and having problems with software running in 640x480 mode (like ScummVM). I know there are workarounds, but I thought it would be nicer to use the leftover space. As there are no buttons for quicksave, or something like that, I would like to make a 160pixel software button application. I made some tests already. But now I don't know how to load ScummVM (for examlpe) in my application. If i start it from my application, it hides my keyboard. Or do you have an other idea?
THX in advance
I showed a friend of mine how, on my Fuze, I'm able to flick through my emails in Outlook and he was wondering if there was a similar app for his Palm Pro (Sprint).
Whenever I do a search for 'TouchFlo' on the forum, I usually end up with threads about M2D or M3D, which isn't what I'm looking for. Is there any way to add the TouchFLO from the Fuze/Raphael to the Treo Pro? If not, does anyone know if FTouchFLO provides the same functionality as HTC's TF?
I am almost certian Manilla is a code name from the developers for touchflo. As for the M2D(Manilla 2d) is touchFlo 2d and M3D(Manilla 3D) is touchflo 3D. So thats the case. Go and check youtube videos of M2D or M3D and see if thats what your looking for. But like you said on your Fuze (Touch Pro) then it was M3D which is not working for our treo pro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334965
You want this! I run it on my wife's TreoPro and it is flawless. The alphas are free, the final versions are now a paid app but include some other stuff along with being a bit more stable. Lighweight and dependable.
Brian:
I'm pretty sure Manilla and TouchFlo are different things. Manilla (2D and 3D) is just a user interface. I'm talking about the underlying gesture recognizer that comes on the Fuze. I call it TouchFLO because that is the entry in the control panel. The wiki says the name 'TouchFLO' is just HTC's branding, but it's also the finger interface that other devices lack.
furry:
I was looking at FTouchFLO, but wasn't sure it did everything my friend liked that HTC's TouchFLO does. On your wife's Treo, when you're in Outlook reading an email, can you flick the screen left for the next message and right for the previous?
Me and Zbop were talking about porting Touch Flo 3D to work on the Treo Pro.
He would patch the binaries to work under 320x320 and I would resize the graphic files and repoistion everything.
I'd have to get in contact with him to see if we can get this going or not.
I for sure would do it.
SO what is available for the Pro as of right now? Just TouchFLO 2D? How does it differ from TouchFLO 3D? I am just using SPB Mobile Shell 3 and find it a vast improvement over the standard Today screen crap. The interface is much sexier and much more condusive to fingering.
It is what it says. Its basically Touch Flo 2D except with 3D graphics and more eye candy.
Though it has more features.
My understanding about M3D vs. M2D is just aesthetics through hardware acceleration. For example, in M2D, the photo browsing tab lets you flick through your photos. M3D does the same, with the added effect of the photo actually sliding off the screen and the next taking its place. Just eye candy. (That, and I think M2D doesn't support VGA resolution as cleanly as M3D.)
You'll notice I'm referring to Manilla 2D and 3D and NOT TouchFLO. The HTC TouchFLO program I started this tread about is the underlying app that recognizes finger gestures for Manilla as well as adding 'flick-scroll' support to apps that don't internally support it (such as Total Commander or Outlook).
The main feature I'm looking for is specifically used in Outlook. It allows you to go to the next email by flicking the screen to the left or the previous to the right. It also allows you to flick to different email accounts if you're looking at the summary screen.
The program that you're looking for to have the finger scrolling option is called:
FtouchSL. I tried version 2.10 and it works just awesome on the Treo Pro GSM.
All you have to do is disable it in apps that don't like it. I'd HIGHLY recommend this proggie. Good luck!

I don't see why you'd want/need the finger-flicking on devices that have a useable D-pad.
For a touch-only device, yes you need it, and it helps the screen to be the entire user interface.
The Treo Pro has buttons. If you don't want to use them, I suggest buying something with a bigger screen.
well, i´m working in an application for windows mobile 6.1 (for personnal use) using visual basic .net. but in this platform is very limited. so i can´t do many things as in the win32. but i seen from my phone (htc touch pro, windows mobile 6.1 phone edition) graphics, and innovations that i really want to put in my application.
as 1,2,3, pages of transparent background, animation, programs launcher style.
any help, to guide me in wich lenguage i have to learn, and wich technology to use as (opengl es, directx, gdi+).
thanks.
If you want to make rich-client application with advanced effects, you should stick with DirectX or OpenGL ES.
For OpenGL ES there is a good framework
http://silvermoon.codeplex.com/
If you want to make it on top of GDI+, there is a catch. No native png alpha channel (only available via COM object).
AlphaBlend via WINAPI.
But it does consume more memmory, and does not have hardware acceleration.
If your main target is phone with HTC Sence/Manila 3d, you can use Sence UI. There is some sort of SDK for it. It would save you some time
