TodayPlus Boards v2

Complete skin v0.11.0

Download the latest version of this skin here (http://www.pdacorps.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3455&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.

Features:
- Weather for 1 or more cities
- System Monitor with Battery, Memory, and up to 3 Storage Card displays (cycles automatically)
- Multiple news feeds with optional Stocks page
- Launcher section with room for 33 applications and 9 games
- 2 Month Calendar with Agenda Advance function
- World Timezones (both analog and digital)
- Quick Launch icons in rows of 10
- Agenda, Tasks, and Countdown display

Complete skin2 v0.11.0

For those who prefer the QuickLaunch section permanently above the main section, I created Complete skin2. All the same features as Complete skin v0.11.0.

I have also created an alternative set of Images that can be used with both Complete Skin v0.11.0 & Complete Skin2 v0.11.0.  To use this Image set, look for the following code at the top of the skin file:

options,imagedir,Images\My Icons-3D
//options,imagedir,Images\Logika-3D

Then move the "//" from before the second line to in front of the first line like this:

//options,imagedir,Images\My Icons-3D
options,imagedir,Images\Logika-3D

Reload the skin, and you should see the new image icons.

Matching Wisbar/Icbar theme can be downloaded here (http://dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?p=4282#4282).

Hi rbg08,

Thanks for the Complete Skin.  I have made some modifications to suit my needs and to fix some minor things.  I am posting my version here, hoping that you would consider incorporating some or most of my changes in your next version (v12).

All my changes are marked with a comment "//PL".  The changes include:

1. Replaced the Collapse button with a Refresh Agenda button.
2. Fixed the order of the world city times display (it was 2,1,3,4,8 before).
3. Changed the Real-feel temperature for today from bold to blue.
4. Changed battery data area to show soft reset time and duration.
5. Expanded Agenda section to about 11 lines.
6. Changed the look of Agenda section to maximize real estate usage.

I did not touch the Tasks and Countdown sections since I do not use them.

One question: I was trying to use the initregion command to make the Weather section display by default, but I couldn't get it to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks.  Let me know if you have any questions.

How can I force a refresh (used during Wifi connection) to update my weather, rss, etc.
Also, I have an ipaq 5555 with an sd card & ipaq file store but no CF card storage.  How can I get the battery view to "skip" the CF memory?  My settings curretnly show my sd card as my CF card & my ipaq file store as my SD card.  Ther is blank for the third storage rotation.

You should set up your Storage devices in this order:
1 - CF
2 - SD
3 - Built-in (ROM / Safe Store etc)

I don't have an SD, so I set up both 1 and 2 to point to my CF card.  You could do something similar.

If it really bothers you, you can also change the skin to replace the CF image with the SD image.  Then it will show your SD (two rotations) followed by your built-in memory.

Thanks for the input.  I have changed my storage addresses.

I still can't fins a manual refresh button on this skin.  I need to use it when I am connected by Wifi or cellular.

Thanks!

You can manually update/refresh your data by tapping on any of the RSS titles or on the update time in the Weather Forcast area if the weather data is less than 4 hours old.  Not the perfect solution, but I ran out of room for a refresh button. ;)

Cool, I'll take a look at it & if I like any of the changes, I may incororate them into the next version. :)

QuoteOne question: I was trying to use the initregion command to make the Weather section display by default, but I couldn't get it to work.  Any ideas?

To make initregion work, you have to define each page that should load at start-up.  In this case, that would include the Weather page, Quicklaunch page, and the Agenda page.

rbg08,

Thanks.  Can you tell me what are the 3 region numbers I should use with the initregion command lines?  I'm still new to reading the skin files.

Thanks.

I have tried working with the POOM filters to get overdue tasks to appear in the agenda with no luck

Any suggestions?

Quote from: pli7Can you tell me what are the 3 region numbers I should use with the initregion command lines?

Try adding this code to the skin file, right below the maxheight & height commands:

// BEGIN ON WEATHER
initregion,0,1
initregion,5,0
initregion,1,0

That works perfectly.  Thanks.

I haven't tried setting up POOM filters with the new config.exe yet, so I'm not sure exactly how to set them up either. :(

Has anyone had any luck getting Overdue tasks to show up with this Skin?

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):

Hi

this skin is really great, but I was wondering if it's possible to see the Weather section and System section in the same time

for now, only 1 section at a time may be displayed, but I would like to have both in the same time

Date header
Weather
System Info
Shortcut

I only want those

Also, the skin say No Storage Detected, but I have a Lexar 256Mb SD Card.

Thanks for support

Can see help me with the opening of the Wisbar Logica theme.  I can not seem to get it open

Please see this post (http://www.dark-mojo.com/todayplus/viewtopic.php?p=3598#3598) for directions.

QuoteAlso, the skin say No Storage Detected, but I have a Lexar 256Mb SD Card.

You have to define your SD card's storage path in the config.exe before the skin can "see" your memory card.  If your only storage card is your SD card, you may wish to change the text in the skin file from "CF Card" to "SD Card".

Quote from: craximCan see help me with the opening of the Wisbar Logica theme.  I can not seem to get it open

Not sure what you mean.  :(   The file in the first post of the Logika Complete skin thread is a ZIP file that needs to be unzipped to extract the necessary files.  Once extracted, follow the instructions directly above the posted file in that thread.

thanks I got it

only have a small problem.

I put my 2 storages card path, it show it but seam to circle with 3 path
I see CF card, SD Card (will rename later) then a blank one, then came back to CF card.

any idea ?
sorry, quite new to this

Try defining a third "blank" storage path in config.exe (i.e.: no name or path defined).

thanks a lot

it worked for the Storage card and for the dual module showing

just to know, is there a way to make only 2 path for storage card ?

Like SD and Builtin only ?

Right now I have SD shown 2 time and Builtin 1 time.. it work but would be great if I could get rid of the CF one and have only 2 path

thanks

Edit: I also have a small bug sometime

a black bar is showing at 3/4 of the screen about 1/4 inch tick

if I circle  between weather, news etc, it disapear, but come back sometime..

Is your SD card defined twice in the config.exe?  If so, delete one of the duplicate storage paths.  In your case, the first storage path defined in config.exe should be pointing to your SD card, second should point to Built-In, third path should be "blank" (no path defined).

Could you post a screenshot of the black bar you are seeing?  That would help me to better understand what problem is occurring.

Here's a screenshot of an expanded News feed detail:

The pictures fallow.

here is my config file.. i'm sure I did something wrong when I changed the value to make the system statues sticky

Here is the picture of my black bar problem

If I change module 1 or 2 time, this bar desapear, but the show back after few second..

it's the software problem, not hardware

To fix the problem, increase the following numbers at the top of the skin file by 54 each:

maxheight,191
height,107

This is necessary because adding the System Monitor bar permanently below the main section increased the height of the skin by 54 pixels.

thanks it worked !

now time to make a backup !

I've made a few changes to this skin that I wanted to share.  This should be the final version of this skin (barring srs's return).  I changed the page refresh time on the System Monitor to allow for better response to taps.  I also added the ability to manually resync the weather data when there is no current data by tapping on the displayed text.  And I made a few corrections to the readme file.  Here's the new skin file:

I just started using POOM scrolling and liked it, so I created alternative versions of both Complete skin and Complete skin2 that include this new feature.  It does shorten the width of the POOM area, but I think it's worth the compromise. :)
