** Update 3 **
There's another beta coming out soon, with lots of exciting new features.:
* The promised 'folder widget' - display the contents of a folder on your device in a virtual screen. I use this as my 'podcast folder' (inside a dock) so I can select one to listen to.
* Directly select a folder/executable on your device whilst in the designer. Obviously you have to have your device plugged in via USB for this to work.
* A QVGA example desk (previous versions only had VGA)
* Lots of bugfixes.
** Update 2 **
Still working hard to get a preview release to you guys. A lot of the current work is in making the PC-based designer as intuitive as possible - an important factor I believe - don't want any complaints about crashing, etc (I hate that the most - you put hours into something, and it explodes).
Anyway - Some of you have expressed concern that you won't be able to get to your today bar icons (the icons down the bottom of the today screen) - while HotDesk is running. The current solution to this is a context menu bound the the desktop click action - that allows you to clip the window to a certain (configurable) height, whilst simultaneously minimizing all other windows - allowing you to see the today bar behind.
This screenshot demonstrates:

I hope to have a preview release (that won't have all the features that the final release will have, but will still have lots of cool stuff) - to you by the end of next week. Features expected in the preview release:
* Desktop designer, allowing drag'n'drop drawing of all desktop widgets (of course)
* Background widget - set your background, per virtual screen, to an image of any format that PocketPC can read (png,gif,jpg,bmp)
* Picture widget - place a picture at any location on your virtual screens. Handy for non-active element theme customisation.
* Button widget - Define up/down state images, and an action for your buttons (Actions such as 'go to next/previous/specific vscreen', 'start program', 'show/hide dock window' etc)
* Today item Widget - place any today item installed on your system onto any vscreen
* Gauge widget - Text/Graphical gauges linked to system properties (battery,disk/mem free etc). Graphical gauges have customisable background images, and gauge-bar size/image/location.
* Directory widget - place an icon box of any directory on your PocketPC inside a Virtual Screen or Dock - I use this inside a dock, so I can click an icon saying 'My Podcasts' - and up pops a dock sub-window inside my HotDesk with an iconbox with an icon for each of my podcasts. Think of it as a mini-filemanager in a Dock.
More features to come in the final version - but I just want to get this out there for now so you guys can get the creative juices flowing.
More news soon.
** UPDATE **
Got some screenshots of HotDesk running on my JasJar.
A bit of explanation:
Shot 1: The main screen of the demo desktop I'm working on. Here you see 4 application launchers, 2 text gauges (time/date), and a graphical gauge (battery). The Gauge designer can be seen in the designer screenshot at the bottom of this post.
Shot 2: A 'dock' demo. Clicking the 'folder' icon triggers a 'visibility toggle' action on the dock window. The dock window is a Virtual Screen like any other - it just happens to be nested inside another Vscreen.
Shot 3: A demonstration of nesting Today Plugins inside HotDesk. This is more difficult to code than it sounds: essentially you have to reimplement all the message calls/events that the Today screen does. Surprisingly, this was one of the hardest things to code in HotDesk so far. As you can see, I haven't done background transparency for Today plugins yet, but that is coming soon.

Hi All,
I'm creating a new desktop design tool for WM devices. Its aim is to be both friendly to designers, and also to be powerful enough that it's a useful replacement for the today screen et al.
I won't beat around the bush: I *hate* the today screen. I won't launch into a religious argument about that here - I'm just here to show you the work I've been doing.
Announcing: HotDesk.
Hotdesk contains two components: A program that runs on your WM device, that loads '.desk' files - files which contain all the art, logic etc - of your custom designed desktop. The other component is hotdesk designer - an early screenshot of which I've attached to this post.
The designer will be familiar to anyone that has used any kind of vector graphics tool. You simply drag/drop/move - your components on the 'virtual screens' of your desktop.
HotDesk is based around the concept of 'vscreens' - a desktop contains one or more VScreens - that are tied to an orientation (landscape or portrait). Based on the current orientation of your device, the desktops you design for that orientation are displayed - and the user moves between them using buttons that are tied to the 'change vscreen' action.
I'm sure most of you have seen offerings such as 'Wisbar Advance Desktop', and others. Don't get me wrong - Chris does a great job with Wisbar/Desktop - but HotDesk aims to go far beyond products such as these - by creating a rich set of embeddable components that can be customised to your needs. On my PPC, I often find myself jumping between a thousand separate tiny little applications that perform a certain task, or display a certain device statistic - HotDesk aims to allow you to tie almost any action to a button - or connect any device statistic to a custom graphical gauge (as can be seen in the screenshot)
Current features:
Custom button launchers. Definable graphics for up/down states
Completely customisable gauges (gauge image, cursor image, data source)
Multiple virtual screens, and programmable screen change logic
Different screens for portait/landscape views
File list control - e.g. display files in a folder for easy selection (I use this as a popup from my 'podcast folder')
Embed today plugins - In my opinion, today plugins are generally memory hogs - but if you must, you must
Tab widget - have a tabbed dialog within a vscreen
This application is not yet complete, but I must admit I'm excited by what it does so far. I'll be releasing a beta soon - so watch this space. If you have any feature suggestions (e.g. something you've been aching for, not found in other desktop-type apps) - now is the time to speak up.
Oh yeah, here's the screenshot (sorry for the size):

You app sounds like it will take customizing the today screen to a new level!
Looks very promising. Will I have the ability to turn my today screen into a dial pad?
kewl!
shud support QVGA / VGA & Square Screens..that's a plus..!
and abillity to change phone dial skin if possible..
Looks COOL!
If I read that right, it'll allow you to have more than one Today screen? Like a virtual desktop?
If so, is there a way to make the inactive one truely inactive so it doesn't use much RAM? That's probably asking waaaay too much, but would be awfully cool!
Either way, I'll be (not so) patiently watching....

Already done this - there are two 'memory modes' - light and heavy. Light mode dynamically loads each screen (including today plugins). If you don't go to the screen with the plugin, it doesn't load it.
Of course, the trade off is screen load time.
Heavy mode loads all screens at once - heavier on RAM, but faster.

As for the QVGA/VGA - each vscreen has a preconfigured size - the device-side application chooses the correct default vscreen based on the res/orientation. You specify the default starting vscreens in the designer.
so... when is the beta release??
Thanks
Greetings,
Hope to see your product soon,
and yes do make it compatible with omap 850 processor coz its little slower than
others.
And also if you could add minimizing windows like we have in desktop it would be great.
Hope you'll giv it for free cuz i dont have any credit card or any other card to pay. I'll love to have your application.

I'll come up with some arrangement for people participating in the beta - more information soon.
Hi!
This app seams like "the thing", but will it be WM2003SE compatible?

Testing
I would like to be part of the beta testing when avalible. GreggSymington(@)Sbcglobal.net . Looks great so far.
I would also love the opportunity to be in your beta group.
Would it be possible to lock one or more of your Today screens separately?
Also, will there be a toggle for accessing the main (or user defined) Today screen, similar to VJTodayButton?
Both of these functions would be really convenient.
Cool
Greetings,
Yes i will be participating in beta ver.
Is there a testing version yet?
Hi LordChaos
Been playing around with theme development and would love the opportunity to beta test your product

WoW, nice way of creating virtual desktops. It reminds me to the Wisbar Advanced Desktop plugin for Wisbar Advance 2 but even better since you are also developing a proper tool for PC!!!!!
Congratulations!!!

Great Work
This looks fantastic. Would love to be in the beta test of this. Keep us posted.
BlackFlip is a Polarium clone, an easy to play (but hard to finish) puzzle game perfectly suited for stylus play.
The rules of the game are really very simple : there are black and white tiles which need to be flipped so that each row is either all white or all black... Different lines can even have different colors. Yes, as simple as that !
But the twist is that you can only do a single path, which can't overlap with itself. To draw that path, simple click on the puzzle, and move around. You can backtrack at anytime. To validate the path, simply click on the destination point and it'll flip all the tiles !
The grey border around is a neutral zone : no flipping on it, and it's not involved in the color check. So you can move on that one as if you were moving in and out of the puzzle. Doesn't sound like much, but using the grey tiles effectively is the key to solving the hardest puzzles.
For more details on how the game works, check out the video !
The games main feature is it's incredibly hi number of puzzles : more than 6000 !!! These range from very easy (0 stars, solvable in a few seconds) to very hard (5 stars, only solvable in a few minutes and by advanced players)...
This early release is pretty crappy, misses a few graphics, and doesn't actually have more features than that. But all the puzzles are available/solvable, and your progress is saved.
If you like puzzle games, this is a must-have ! If you don't like puzzle games... Well... Just give it a try, it's a matter of seconds before you learn how it works and see the potential of the beast. Just don't play directly on the harder puzzles...
TODO-list for the next versions :
- In-game level creator
- Level generator with difficulty settings (not as fun as real levels, and... well, just finish the 6000 levels first...)
- Etc...
ALL the credit for the game idea goes to Mitchell Corp. for creating the original Polarium game (for Nintendo DS and Gameboy Advance). If you like this game, considering buying one of those versions, the author definitely deserves the money !
Blackflip PocketPC is a port from the flash version by [F]laboratorium.org. All the credit for the graphics and the levels go to them and all the users who contributed to making/sharing all these puzzles. The game will be updated regularly to have up-to-date versions with the latest levels !
Have fun !

You are one busy guy. Much respect to you Mollusc.
Absolutely fantastic! Do you think you could add 240x240 support on the list?
wont close
this wont close for me when I click on the x
and if I close it another way it still is showing on my top bar along with doubleskill

Well, the people who had that problem before figured out it was a screen calibration error. I'll put a bigger button in the next release and it should work better in the screen corners (or a real menu with an exit button ^^)
Great news! I looks forward to seeing the completed project
Great game, I really enjoy it so far. I do have the problem that it won't close.
Looks like a pretty cool game, thanks!
this is quite the masterpiece of puzzle gaming. I love your works mollusk. thanks for all games you shared with us so far.
by the way, does anybody have a tip for this game? I can only solve the easy ones right now. I think I am missing something.
Tips.... You could try to search for "polarium tips" on google, not sure if you'll get anything good, though. But, most hard puzzles have several things to keep in mind :
1. Generally the lines have different colors (so if you try to turn it all black or all white, you're screwed)
2. Uses extensively the grey part (moving in/out of the puzzle)
I'll update this week, lots of features are missing, including the puzzle solutions (and help, like showing where to start and/or finish ^^)
edit : opened a thread on XFlib.net for hints : http://www.xflib.net/index.php?topic=86
It's pretty empty and needs your help
A new version is out !! Not the best release ever, but I felt it was a decent enough update to justify a release today rather than tomorrow ^^
So here is the complete changelog :
- New menu !!
- Better puzzle selection info
- Added sorting in the menu
- Added show/hide solved puzzles
- Added animated instructions
- New puzzle checking animation
- Smartphone support !
Download BlackFlip
Here's a new release of BlackFlip, version 0.5 !
It's not really a major release, but is still a step up, and you could see it as a quick release before the next big update. The biggest improvement in this release is that I've added french support ! (technically, it could include other languages if people feel like translating ! Just send me a quick PM and I'll set together a simple text file to translate...).
Other stuff I changed : better random puzzles (sorted by difficulty) and stats page added ! (doesn't show much, but it's a start)
Complete changelog :
- Added French translation !! (more to come if people participate )
- Bigger back to menu button on puzzle selection screen
- Faster boot up time
- Grade now ranges from 0 stars to 5 instead of 1 to 5...
- Added "Play Next" button !
- Change LOSER to YOU LOSE
- Quick and crappy stats page (sorry, I got lazy again !)
- Added menu state saving
- Slightly faster end game animation
- New better random puzzle picker (with level difficulty !)
Oh, and as I set the stars to range from 0 to 5 now (instead of 1 to 5), don't be surprises if some of the puzzles you played change 'difficulty'. It doesn't change any order or anything, it's just that the old values were a bit off

Quick update : minor fixes, 400 new levels, italian translation added, and 240x240 screen support !
Thanks for this game....I'd really enjoying....
Hello guys!
I think many of us came to the thinking that, though TouchFLO 3D is great UI, we should make something alternate, something that better fits our needs. And now, i think i'm ready to create one, but first we should decide how should it look like and how should it operate.
So, i propose a kind of "brainstorming contest" where you decide about the look of a new UI. But to avoid this turning into an annoying feature request list ("more tasks on today! please! please! please!" ), here are the rules:
- NO text-only suggestions - every post s/b illustrated with pen-and-paper drawing
- NO screenshots or photoshop cooks - only hand-drawings or something that look like em (yes, you can use digitizer tablet )
- drawings are NOT required to be professional - just something to illustrate you thoughts
- you are NOT required to develop the complete UI - you may just post suggestions about UI parts, but preferred things are unique navigation idea (try to forget about tabs), apps\tabs convergence, brand new useful apps/tabs
- best contributors ideas (possible with Manila API) will be implemented and their names will be listed in "About..." screen
Posts that violate rules (even best of them), will be ignored.
That's it.
maybe this is too open ended.. do you haev some ideas of your own that you might want to put forward?

I'm already implementing ideas of my own
I just wanted to know what do folks think/dream about
show us whatcha go then!
I think D-MAN666 doesn't want to influence people, this is a brainstorming If he starts with his idea, it is probable that nobody will post a completely different concept...
This might be a useful start for interface design:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397220
One thing I would love to see is a radial menu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_menu
Similar to tap-and-hold for a context menu, but instead of a list popping up, a radial menu appears. You could fit 8-12 options around the circle, which would cover TF3d's pages.
So in usage, tap for the popup radial menu, then:
- swipe up for Contacts
- swipe right for Music
- swipe down for Home
- etc
IMO, it's much easier to be accurate in swiping at different angles/directions than it is to be precise with the default TF3d slider tabs, so you could really speed your way through the interface. The same could apply elsewhere: tap and hold a contact, then swipe up to call, left to SMS, right to email, etc.
For other thoughts, here's a read on interface optimization (for the technically inclined):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law
And maybe later if I'm bored I'll draw some mockups
http://microsoft.blognewschannel.co...bile-7-to-focus-on-touch-and-motion-gestures/
sorry for breaking the rules, but everyone else is lol...thats a link to the WM7 concept design...along with theoretical gestures...i really digg the battery bar on the bottom and the reception bar...
Ill be the first then...
A quick drawing i knocked up... manila stays very much the same but basicaly show page navigation on the manila both horizontal and vertical..
I hope its clear enough
2 ideas here
I am going to break the rules since I'ma t work and can't really be seen drawing lol.
Here they are:
- Make use of the touch capacitative ability of the the buttons panel. It's made up of three touch panels. Maybe a swipe from left to right to unlock and right to left to lock.
- Display applications within tabs. Ex: Being able to display Icontact when sliding to the contact tab.
And for UI inspiration, I would look here:
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/setupsaskins/45-091setups/69-new-minimal-flow-theme
Ok, here's my concept
The general idea is to keep most of manilla look'n feel, just remove useless animations/transitions, and change the home screen.
Changes : on the right side of the screen, a scrollbar similar to the "contacts" one appears. It controls the content of the box under the clock.
On the left, a button to maximize (take the place of the clock) the box, and a fast vibrator/ring permutation button.
So, by scrolling the bar, the content of the box changes, could be call log, contacts, fast program launcher, music player, and so on.
The idea is to keep complex functionalities (camera, tv, etc) needing full screen accessible by the manilla bar, and quick&fast features such as logs, sms, player accessible on the main screen.
Nice idea, man
Hi there,
just a thought on a possible gui for the UI, instead of tabs, layers (don't know if that's possible, but it would be very cool imho)
you could have multiple layers, and have the layers in the backgound fade out and become smaller (perspective) and use a swipe up or down to navigate
Anything happening on here?
Just wondering

great idea!
like the game u can get on Playstation 3... where u 'swim' around collecting stuff and going thru lvls....
I'm thinking that the Ximoon idea is quite good but one thing that should be included is landscape option and I'm not talking about TP version but one with the same functions like the portrait one
I like the idea of the circular menus...
well first of all thanks to you guys you are doing awsome work and its always funn spendin my free time in your forums
now to my idea
does anybody know the film : the lawnmower man? theres one scene almost at the end of the film where he tries to escape to the internet i think the idea is quite amazing movn in a bowl and havin litle windows to select.
what do ya think
this is the link to the movie scene just skip it forward to about 5 minutes

wishlist:
haptic feeback and spoken confirmation feedback
bigger font which follows finger while pressed/sliding
possibility to hide taskbar (e.g like in thumbcal)

Sure sure, i just want to know what you need
whatever you need will be there
this is a concept only
a nice concept
you can aprimorate with haptic and
you can do that with the touch, appears in a local white spot, as if clearing with a flashlight, and look where the other numbers, the light with your finger to move and clear the other number, as is already there but in dark
Pretty nice work dude! Keep making the app better and better and it will rock!
Wow, wasn't expecting this to work as well as it does!! I almost find this easier to dial a number than having a keypad anyway!!
Great work, looking forward to future releases.
evorgevol
Works excellent on my Omnia!
Waiting for the update!
Oh, and add an Icon lol
I can give you english and german voice files (wav/mp3/ogg) if you like/need.
some more ideas...
- clear all numbers, when finger lasts longer than 1 sec on "B"
- exit program on red button
Will this work on my Vogue?
will it support smartdialing ? Video call ?
Thanks for this

i really can use the english ones as a start, then they can be configurable
regarding the ideas, these seems to be a bit complicated at this stage.
clearing the numbers after certain duration requires timers to work internally in order to get the timing so it might affect performace (i am a performance guy)
closing the application on Red Button requires some keyhook (i guess) which i'm not fimiliar with atm.

"+" for international calls
The grid is geeting missplaced on my Xperia.
At the moment I have to touch in the middle of the screen to get the correct grid.
If I touch somewhere else the grid is "shifted" and disorted and not all numbers are available.
Bug or feature?
Maybe you can team up with
iContact AE Edition

actually my friend this is the whole idea of the application.
when driving for example, you cannot look at the dialer (HTC or SE ones) in order to know which number to press.
in normal phones (ones with NumPad) you can always know where the #5 is, so you can press the numbers easily and make calls.
the concept of the application is, where ever you put your finger on the screen it will automatically shift the grid to place #5 under your finger (1st scenario is you place your finger on #5, here #5 comes under your finger) and you can move your finger to select the number you want to dial without even looking (peeking) at the device.
thanks alot for the links, i will take a look there
If you need the sound files for the numbers, go to this site!
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
you excuse but I don't understand as it is used.
does a video exist?
hey this doesnt work for me
it says it cant instalize LEDS
Wow, seems like a cool idea. Does this replace the standard dialer, or is it a separate app?
Thanks!

what about ms anna tts voice? I think that wouldn't be a problem to use that voice due to license
I'm trying to add rotation and that mini-volume thingy to AutoMapa, a Polish GPS application.
The problem is, the window name is along the lines of Automapa10_9944sd_asff... you get the idea? It's long, filled with brackets and other strange characters, and generally, while customization apps will detect it with their usuall "shake" option, the end result is that I can't get rotation and volume to work with this app.
What's the standard procedure in case of such fiddly apps?
Come on guys / gals... please.
Is there any way to use a wildcard perhaps? I'd really like to get this app under control...
