Title: [Updated] Logika Complete skin v0.11.0
Post by: rbg08 on December 19, 2003, 01:14:05 PM
Logika Complete skin v0.11.0

Download the latest version of this skin here (http://www.pdacorps.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3456&PN=1).

*Update: I have updated this skin with many of the changes I was originally planning on releasing in v0.12.0.  The main changes include the ability for the user to easily define how many rows of shortcuts to have in the QuickLaunch area.  News feed details area can now be expanded to display more text.  There are probably other changes that I am forgetting since most were made over a month ago. :wink:


I've made a few minor changes and cleaned up the code quite a bit.  This skin uses the new Weather.com image set included with the latest version of TodayPlus, and Forcast details now include Night info.  This skin has been redesigned to work with the new config application as well.  The location & parentheses have been removed from all-day events in the Agenda section.  The skin now starts with Weather displayed by default.  The Big Clock button has been changed too.

Features:
- Weather for 1 or more cities
- Multiple news feeds with optional Stocks page
- World Timezones (both analog and digital)
- 2 Month Calendar with Agenda Advance function
- Quick Launch icons in rows of 9
- Launcher section with room for 33 additional applications and 9 games
- Large Digital Clock with Battery and Memory dispays
- Agenda, Tasks, and Countdown display
- System Monitor bar with Battery, Memory, and Storage displays

Matching Wisbar/Icbar theme can be downloaded here (http://dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?p=4282#4282).
Title: Few questions
Post by: NotYet on January 13, 2004, 04:18:11 AM
hi rbg08,

first of all thanks a lot for this great skin as well as pictures. GREAT !!!!!

Regarding RSS:

Is there is any possibility to increase the incomming RSS Feeds.
I would like to use in total 16 instead of 10.

Also as a general question, it's possible w/o increasing the height of the region (i.e. using a slider or other ..... see attached picture) to see the whole RSS text.


This question I picked up from a OSX question, but the solution which you desrcipted for OSX won't work in the Lokiga Skin.

I was just wondering if there is a way, when the skin is reloaded, to NOT show any Agenda details until the 1 or 2 or 3 button is pressed? In other words, so that the default look of the Today screen is if the Agenda section was collapsed.

Thanks again for this nice Skin.

CU

You should be able to have as many RSS feeds as you want with this skin.

QuoteAlso as a general question, it's possible w/o increasing the height of the region (i.e. using a slider or other ..... see attached picture) to see the whole RSS text.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible without increasing the height.  I was considering an expandable description screen in the next version.

Dear rbg08,

thanks a lot for the fast answers.  :P

Also thanks for the link. Finally the agenda is hidden after reload.

Regarding RSS feeds.

Sorry, I made a mistake. :evil:

I increase your list for one RSS Title up to 16 (4x4) instead of 10  descriptions, but I get always only 10 descriptions. :(
(I hope this is understandable discripted  :oops: )

Could you give me a advise how to change it, if this is possible.

Thanks in advance.

I just re-downloaded the skin, cleared my buffer, & re-synced my data with 11 RSS feeds listed in config.exe.  All 11 feeds are showing for me.

Try clearing your buffer and re-syncing.  If that dosen't work, there may be a problem with the feeds you are using or in the way they are listed in your PPC's registry.

Try resetting your PPC and trying again.  The config.exe program operates independent of any skin, so the skin file isn't what's causing the problem.
Title: problems with weather
Post by: dtidmore on January 17, 2004, 05:16:47 PM
I just installed the latest Logika and TodayPlus on my WM03 PPC.  Still playing around learning, but I noticed that the weather panel is not updating reliably.  Last evening when I installed it, as soon as I would hit the refresh button down in the meters section, the weather would update and as I added new cities, those would appear.  Today, I am getting hit or miss updating.  I am hooked up to the web using the PPC cradle connected to my desktop PC.  I know that I am getting solid web connectivity as I can browse and when I add a new city, the app looks up either the name or zip and gives me my choices.

Any ideas why the hit or miss.  For instance, I have NYC, Dallas, LA and Denver. I have NOT been able to get Dallas or NYC to update at all.  Denver works periodically as does LA.

Hi dtidmore:

You should try now it should work. MSNBC was down all day, that's the reason.

First of all, Great Skin!!!
I also used it with 0.10.2, and I really think this is the best skin (for me)
But I have a question.
With 0.10.2 you explained how to minimize the agenda at startup.
I did exactly the same:

QuoteThis is a little more tricky. First, in the AGENDA section at the bottom of the skin file, increase each page number of region,2 by 1 (i.e.: change region,2,0,-1 to region,2,1,-1 , etc.) Then, in the QUICK LAUNCHER section, make the following changes I have bolded:

region,6,0,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter0.png,t,2,4,1,1,5
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,1
endregion,6,0

region,6,1,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter1.png,t,2,4,2,1,5
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,2
endregion,6,1

region,6,2,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter2.png,t,2,4,3,-1
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,3
endregion,6,2

region,6,3,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter3.png,t,2,4,0,-1
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,0
endregion,6,3

And last, subtract 67 from the height of the skin at the top of the skin file. (I haven't tested this, but it should work  ).

I also changed the endregion to 2,1,-1 instead of 2,0,-1
But when I tap agenda (number 1 appears) nothing will happen :cry:
Do you have an idea to help me with this.

Thanks a lot

EDIT: I just thought about it. What I want is when I tab the agenda, that it turns on, and when I tap it again, it's minimized. So I do not want to "scroll" to 2 and 3. How do I get that??? I hope you understand my question rbg08
Keep up the good work :wink:

EDIT 2: I just managed to get the agenda working, so that's not a problem anymore.
I only want to know how to "delete" the 2 and 3 agenda section.

Change the following code:

region,6,0,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter0.png,t,2,4,1,1,5
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,1
endregion,6,0

region,6,1,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter1.png,t,2,4,2,1,5
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,2

imagebutton,5,6,filter0.png,t,2,4,1,1,5
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,1
endregion,6,0

region,6,1,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter1.png,t,2,4,0,-1
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,0
endregion,6,1


And delete this code:

region,6,2,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter2.png,t,2,4,3,-1
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,3
endregion,6,2

region,6,3,-1
imagebutton,5,6,filter3.png,t,2,4,0,-1
button,5,6,11,11,6,4,0
endregion,6,3


You may also want to change filter1.png to calendar.png since a "1" no longer is significant.

Hey rbg, thanks for your quick reply.
I do have some problems...

My original skin code is slightly different...
region,6,0,-1
imagebutton,[b]0,0[/b],filter0.png,t,2,4,1,1,5
button,[b]5,6[/b],11,11,6,4,1
endregion,6,0

region,6,1,-1
imagebutton,[b]0,0[/b],filter1.png,t,2,4,[b]2,1,5[/b]
button,[b]0,0[/b],11,11,6,4,[b]2[/b]
endregion,6,1


The [ b]..[/ b] are supposed to be BOLD but that doesn't work, everything between the bold codes are different.

So I've made the changes that you've said. It works, but after I performed a soft reset, there is a blank space between agenda en the rest of my Today screen, when I tap to open the agenda, I can see what I want, but when I tap it again, the agenda is closed (that's what I wanted) but there's still the blank space between my agenda and my inbox.
I uploaded a screenshot, maybe my explanation is not clear enough... :)
By the way, I deleted the meter section as well... do I have to decrease max height etc? If so,  what number do I have to substract? and does the minimized agenda also affects the max height etc.?

Thanks a lot for answering those questions and helping me a bit to customize your GREAT skin!!!

EDIT: Never mind rbg, I deleted the whole agenda section, I thought about it and I prefer to use tAgenda, so you don't have to answer the question above. Again, thanks for making the skin!. The one tiny thing that I miss, are the moonphases, but I read somewhere that you are going to implant that on the next version :wink:

I've updated the skin file to work correctly with Task and Calendar filters.  This allows Overdue Tasks to display in Agenda and Tasks views.  Taskfilter,1 corresponds with Agenda and Tasks views; taskfilter,2 & calendarfilter,2 correspond with Countdown view.  Here is the updated skin file (I've also updated the ZIP file in the first post):

Title: How do I get app shortcuts INSIDE bar between?
Post by: gggman4real on February 27, 2004, 10:48:31 AM
I noticed on your screenshots that there are shortcuts to 9 different apps inside the bar between weather & calendar.  
(http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/gggman4real/shortcuts.jpg)
I have not been able to get that to work.  I have Today Plus 11 & the newest version of this skin & put my shortcuts in under shortcuts & named it apps-1-  However, I can choose BETWEEN showing the weather & calendar with a blank bar between OR showing a large box with my shortcuts & calendar with a blank bar between.  What am I missing?  I'm a newbie to skinning my PPC & using Today Plus, but I did try to read up on this first...  Here's what mine will allow...

gggman4real,

Here is what I did.

- Launch the config.exe file.
- Go to Shortcuts tab.
- Create a new group ( I called mine Quick Launch)
- Create your nine shortcuts.

Once I did this, I did a soft reset on my PPC and voila there they were.
Title: Hooray!
Post by: gggman4real on February 27, 2004, 02:24:57 PM
Well, I did just that...  Still no go.  Same as the previous screens.  Then I noticed that in my shortcut section, there appeared to be a blank line above the shortcut I was editing...
(http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/gggman4real/shortcut.jpg)
I went to the blank line & removed it - this moved the Quick Launch line to the top.  
(http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/gggman4real/new.jpg)
I applied, & what do ya know... It works!

Thanks for the help, great skins, and the friendly community here  :D

I found a bad link in the last version of this skin and so I've updated the skin file as well as made a few corrections to the readme file.  I also added the ability to manually resync the weather data when there is no current data by tapping on the displayed text.  Here's the new skin file:

Title: Final Update
Post by: rbg08 on May 07, 2004, 03:44:23 AM
Okay, one more change to this skin.  I changed the page refresh time on the Meters to allow for better response to taps.  This should be the final version of this skin (barring srs's return).
Title: Alternative Version
Post by: rbg08 on June 02, 2004, 10:06:46 PM
I just started using POOM scrolling and liked it, so I created an alternative version of this skin with this new feature.  It does shorten the width of the POOM area, but I think it's worth the compromise. :)
