Title: LTwisted (ver 0.10.1)
Post by: Lordtwisted on November 23, 2003, 08:15:18 PM
Ok I have made the skin LTwisted and it works on ver 0.10.0 and up. Of course i added my battery+ in the skin, and added two more features to it.

1. When you press the uptime text it will bring you to brightness, then if you click the icon it will bring you to the brightness control of you'r ppc. Once you press the uptime text you have 10 seconds to tap the icon. i prgramed it to go right back to the uptime. It is more then enough time.
As soon as SRS gives more options for the brightness slider i will implentment that too.

2. I added a ? icon for when for a coulpe of seconds when the battery is unkown. It looks better then nothing.

Now for the rest of the skin, I like the calendar skin from blazingwolf so i took some ideas from him (Thanks for you'r great work) also the other day I put to gether a request from coolwolf for his skin, where if you click the calendar icon it would replace the calendar  with owner info. so I did that for him. Well it gave me another idea, here is some things that i have done.
 Top reigion:

1. weather icon
2. date
3. 6 quick icons for you'r most used prog's
4. when the icons are not showing it will show Todays temp/real temp/humidity.
5. clock
6. calendar with a button to go to the owner info with picture*
7.  :lol: owner info, has a button to go back to the calendar and it has a pictuer viewer it will rotate betwen 10 pics forward and back and reset buttons :lol:

Here are some pics. I will be posting the skin with all the pics and icons and links toinight. When you turn on you'r ppc the only two regions will show is the top one and batery+. so pretty much with those two regions showing it has all the info right there. I am also working on the other regions, like the poom section there is a drop down in it, thats all i will show for now. it is includded. The posibilites are endless with today+ thanks again SRS.  



Thanks Lordtwisted  :lol:  8)  :lol:

Post by: Lordtwisted on November 23, 2003, 09:34:19 PM
Here is the LTwisted skin.

I added the config file so it is easer to change the pic's. Put the pics folder in the root of todayplus. And all other pics/icons go in the images\color-3d folder. and the links go in the windows directory. You may have to change some of the links to you'r own programs. If you already downloaded the batery+ and changed the links already don't worry you don't have to change them. have fun and enjoy.

Great work, Lordtwisted.  I'm about ready to give up skinning because it's easier just to wait for you guys to come up with the goods.  You've implemented a bunch of great stuff, which covers a lot of the things I had been thinking of playing with.

Well done!

BBaker,

sorry i forgot a couble of pics. but for the pic veiwer you have to but the pics folder in the root of todayplus. here are the rest of the icons.


arbitrajeu, thank you. But don't stop skinning! :lol:

Lordtwisted

Edit: i took out the icons/pics you already have fron LTwisted0.10.1.zip. to save space on the furoms/bandwith.

Thank you!
If you turn off you'r ppc what ever you had showing last. then when you turn it back on it will still show the same thing. But at inaitial startup up (when you first use the skin or when you uncheck today+ and recheck it then it will show the calendar. to change this find this line toward the top:

initvar,var19,1[quote]

change the 1 to a 2 and then on initial startup it will show the info/pic veiwer.

Thanks, it worked.

Do you have any idea why i cant see the text of the poom filter with some of my themes ? If i use the standard windows theme i can see the text but when i use other themes the text disappears.

And one last question: Is it possible to eiliminate the lines under the dates in the agenda ?

Yogiman,

 It's becouse the themes are set up to use difrent colors, the one you show in the pick is set to white, Look for this in the poom section.



color,font,-1_9_-1

button,6,3,80,80,15,4,0,11
//changefont,tahoma,12,b
//text,30,4,FILTERS,cs
changefont,tahoma,11
text,30,19,Agenda,c
button,6,19,47,12,13,4,0,11
text,30,31,General,c
button,6,31,47,12,13,4,1,11
text,30,43,Exams,c
button,6,43,47,12,13,4,2,11
button,6,43,47,12,-1,23,2
text,30,55,Tasks,c
button,6,55,47,12,13,4,3,11
text,30,67,Countdown,c
button,6,67,47,12,13,4,4,11
button,6,67,47,12,-1,23,2

color,font,-1_4_-1



And change this; to what ever color you want:




color,font,-1_9_-1

to say black:
color,font,0_0_0



QuoteAnd one last question: Is it possible to eiliminate the lines under the dates in the agenda ?


Look for this line in the poom section:

options,dateformat,3,15,18,%changefont,tahoma,12,%%line,230,12,-1_6_-1%%bold%%date,l%%regularfont%

take out this:

%line,230,12,-1_6_-1%

And that will remove the lines.

My new favorite skin.  Great work.  1 question and 1 problem.

What does the TE.lnk supposed to point to?  I assume it is something in the battery section but the link does not exist on my Dell nor do I know what it is supposed to provide.
When you pull up the calendar in the Agenda section, all of the dates are white squares and do not have the 1-31 in them.  The calendar itself is correct but it is hard to know the date.  I assume this is a bug..
Title: LTwisted (ver 0.10.1)
Post by: tims on November 24, 2003, 01:12:44 PM
As I posted my note, you posted a reply that answered the calendar "bug" I reported.  Thanks.  Still wondering about the TE.lnk however.

 Thank you, the TE.lnk is a dead link it does nothing. I was trying something out just ignore it.

Hi LT,

Your tips worked, thank a lot. I''ve made some minor adjustments en this is how my (and your's ofcourse) skin looks now.

I've put the current temp closer to the weather icon and the date, i thought it looks better that way. I've replaced the onwer info with the update time and made a little change on the bat+ bar and the graphics on the quicklaoncher.

Great skin LT !

A bit of newbie help would be appreciated.
Am wanting to get the Agenda section to just display ALL appts for the day (or as many days that fit) but not have any task details showing.
Is this something that needs to be done in the filtering ?
Thanx

starcat,
Hmmmm i havent tried it but you can pick out cattorgories like this I have three showing:

calendarfilter,1,90,[Categories] = "General" OR [Categories] = "Business" OR [Categories] = "Holiday"

Replace Your calendarfilter,1  line with mine in the config.txt file.

Thanks Lordtwisted

Martin I Pettinger,


This is great work.

Yes I noticed that It is already fixed in the new version. but for now yes.
Look for this in the skin file:

changefont,tahoma,23,b
time,35,-1,-1,5,ls,"dddd",
changefont,tahoma,12,b
time,35,19,-1,5,ls,"d MMMM",
changefont,tahoma,11,


change this to a smaller number:

changefont,tahoma,23,b

To say 20 or whatever souits your needs. you can also change the poisting for it. in this line:


time,35,-1,-1,5,ls,"dddd",

The fisrt number is for left and right and the second number is for up and down.

Thanks Lordtwisted :lol:

Make sure that you have the correct weather icons in the folder. LT's skin is using the weather.com icons. So make sure that they are located in your weather icons folder. You could also change the skin to use the icons that you like. Change this line:

options,weathericondir,Weather Icons\Washington Post,png

As you can see I use the Washington Post weather icons.

I am getting nearer what I want with this great skin. Attached is a screen dump:

1) What is the 16:37 under my sun - is this the last update - can I change settings so it doesn't display

2) Can I edit the summary from HU:87% to H  87%

3) The double sun - can I display something different to the sun in the top left of the screen - i.e. lunar phase

1.That is the last update time. you can remove it by commenting out this line:
text,23,40,[updatetime],c,l

By comment I mean put a // in front of the line.

2. Yes you can change that. Change this line: text,68,55,HU:,l
This line is in the region 14 area. Change the bolded area to what you want.

3. srs has not included lunar phase yet. It has been requested and hopefully he will add it in. If you want to remove that icon you can comment out or delete these lines:
load,city,1
todayicon,0,-1,,t

Hope this helps.

Many thanks LTW! Just finishing "customization".
Some wishful thoughts:

1-The analog clock might need the light blue round face, it is invisible on dark background

2-I don't know if it is even possible- having "auto-rotating slideshow". Btw I replaced in the config.txt the pcture name as 1.png,2.png, etc.

3-How do you do to have a "3-d" bezel around your picture?

4-How do I do to make the regions show in my attached screenshot default. (pls give me the region# is enought-I am afraid of messing them up!)?

Thx! :D

Quote2-I don't know if it is even possible- having "auto-rotating slideshow". Btw I replaced in the config.txt the pcture name as 1.png,2.png, etc.

Good thinking i will change that the next version, Thanks.


Quote3-How do you do to have a "3-d" bezel around your picture?

Just use one of my pic's and copy and paste you'r pick over mine inside the border.

Quote4-How do I do to make the regions show in my attached screenshot default. (pls give me the region# is enought-I am afraid of messing them up!)?

you can do this to have those regions show up on initial startup like this:


initregion,0,0
initregion,1,0
initregion,4,999
initregion,10,999
initregion,8,999
initregion,11,0
initregion,19,999
initregion,16,0


any initregion with a 0 at the end will show at initail start up, and with 999 at the end they won't.

Yes i created it so when the buttons are not showing there would be something there besides blank space. You can't have both of them showing unless you move one of them.

Make sure you have all the graphics in the right folder's, The pic's stay in the pic's folder in the root of todayplus, all other graphics go in the color-3d folder, ecept the weather icons, they should already be set up.

Post by: dhpss on November 29, 2003, 09:02:30 AM
Some personal modification on LTW skin. Thanks  SRS,LTW for the great work as always!

1-Analog clock face same as world clock face (useful for dark wall paper)
Bold parts are my modif
//image,117,-1,tclock.png,t
image,116,-2,analogclock.png,t
analogclock,132,13,hourhand.png,minutehand.png,tr

2-I am using a free picture tool called Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm), to resize picture to W:89, H:69. Irfanview also allow to sharpen image (to show better on small window and use 3-D button option to add a nice thin bezel around for a professional look.
I enlarge the owner picture to 87 x 53, eliminate 2 top line, and use 2 bottom lines from LTW skin just for Name and Phone#

if,var,var12,,=,1
       image,150,-1,%owner image%,t
       changefont,tahoma,12,b
       text,170,49,%owner name%,l
       changefont,tahoma,10,b
       text,164,58,%owner phone%,l

3-As you can see in the screenshot, there is a green separation line between the main page and weather. Actually it is the battery gradient info. If 100% charged, you see the full green line, the line will be gradually shortened and goes to yellow and red. For this I add a region 5 and add the following code (thks Rgb08!)

region,5,0,5
defregion,5,0,0,240,2,1
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
battery,bar,0,0,240,2,gradient_red-green gradient.png
offsetadd,0,2
endregion,5,0

I have quick questions:
1-How to make the buttons popup as defauft instead of Temp and Humidity?
2-What is the purpose of the down arrow button (2nd from left)
3-Where is the Launcher in the skin (Region 16)?
Thx!

Anybody else is having the same problem?

I just add 2 vertical red bars to highlight Saturday and Sunday columns of the one-month calendar. Just add in the main region:

Quote2-What is the purpose of the down arrow button (2nd from left)


When facing down the weather,rss,clock will show in diffrent regions/places, if it's up then they will show up top and replace each other.

Quote3-Where is the Launcher in the skin (Region 16)?

I am not sure what you'r saying, you are displaying it on you'r pic.




Quote1-The Temp and Humidity do not show up.

Try deleting everthing in the buffer folder, and make sure you configured you'r weather in the config.txt file.


Quote-The 2-month calendar (Tap on icon located on the right of Agenda) does not show up neither.
Anybody else is having the same problem?


When there is no room for the calendar it will not show the calendar, it is programed in todayplus that way.



Yogiman,


Quote1. How can i make the button popup always visible..... after a soft reset ?
2. How can i make the text under the button popup always visible ? It dissapears when the popup is expanded.

if you want the icons to show when you start it up then do what i told dhms to do.

The text don't acually disapear it just gets coverd up. but if you move it it should show up, depending on where you placed it, there are spots in the top region where you can't place the text though. can you post a pic and pm me you'r skin file and let me know where you want it. I will take a look at it.

Thanks Lordtwisted :D

LTW: Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested but these 2 problems did not change:

1-Popup buttons as default: (if,var,var26,,=,0 to if,var,var26,,=,1)
2-Temp Temp HU% still have no value (I did clear buffer and resync; my weather is set in the config.txt as shown in my weather region above screenshot)

Thanks again for your time!

you'r welcome,

I think from you'r screen shot the temp is still black, In region 14,0,-1

place this in front of the temp comands:

color,font,225_255_255

That would make the text white.

for the popup I have to look into this.

Thanks Lordtwisted :D
Title: New TD+ Version 10.2
Post by: dhpss on December 01, 2003, 01:53:56 PM
LTW: Please let us know if we can use this skin for the TD+ 10.2?
Now I already have this skin customized to my personal needs. Please advise how to perform the upgrade (painlessly, I hope!)
Thx!  :D
Title: pop-up buttons still not appearing after soft reset
Post by: inawe on December 02, 2003, 05:44:54 AM
Just wanted to say a thank you to srs for a great program, and to LordTwisted for a superb skin.

I only came across TD+ last week, and within a day I had removed all my other plug-ins, and began the process of getting everything to suit my own setup.

One of the problems I am having at the moment is getting the pop-up buttons to appear as default after a soft-reset. I followed LT's advice on changing the 0 to 1, but all that achieved was to get the up or down arrow to stick and not change when pressed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

inawe,

Thank you.

use this:

poweron,14,1


put it after:

initregion,0,0
initregion,1,0
initregion,4,999
initregion,10,999
initregion,8,0
initregion,11,999
initregion,19,999

poweron,14,1


every time you turn it on it will show the buttons, sorry about the last one i didn't try it. this works for version 0.10.2 i think it will work for the other versions too.

Thanks Lordtwisted

dhpss,

Yes it painless i already converted it i will explain when i get homefrom work.

Post by: inawe on December 02, 2003, 03:51:30 PM
Thank you very much Lordtwisted, for the prompt reply. I followed your instructions, and the only change I had to make to the initial statement was
        poweron 14,100
and then it worked fine.

Am also looking forward to any of your suggestions on how to update to the 10.2 skin without re-doing everything.  :D
Title: LTwisted (ver 0.10.1)
Post by: Lordtwisted on December 02, 2003, 06:48:24 PM
inawe and dhpss,

To convert the skin all you do is copy the sections that has changes like in the skin i copied  the weather section, battery+ section, calendar/poom section and REGION 0 - PAGE 0 Date section, REGION 14 - PAGE 0 Button popup. I copyed and pasted the hole sections.

and for the config i just copyed the parts that i have changed. But i think you can use the skin without any changes. I think you can, I did not try it so i am not 100% sure. I will be posting a new version tomorro night with some xtras in it.

Thanks Lordtwisted :D

Anybody else is having the same problem?

I just add 2 vertical red bars to highlight Saturday and Sunday columns of the one-month calendar. Just add in the main region:

image,155,21,redbar.png,t
image,227,21,redbar.png,t

Store the attached redbar.png in the image\3D-Image

I did the same, had a green one for Saturday,
except I made them hollow (like a bracket) though.

...didn't like a whole solid bar

What I would like to know is that is there any parameters to add
so that I can jump right to the brightness tab?

(Guess I was kinda missing the old DOS /? ...)


Yes there is a way to do it with a .lnk file. let me see if i could find it.

Have you tried simply creating a *.lnk with the following line :

Works for me.

Yes lightman, I have that. He is not asking that he want's a link that when you tap it it will bring you directly to the brightness slidder/tab. You would have to ad more to the .lnk file. I have seen one in the brighthand thread a long time ago but can't find it.

Oh, that  :oops: ... hmm I've tried using the "normal" cpl parameters and syntax (in which the last numeric parameter is for tab reference) in order to get that tab to open by default, but I never succeeded :(

I am looking to replace the weather image in the top left of my screen. I am using the LTwisted.0.10.1 skin but cannot find an entry like this:

image,0,-1.yourpicname.extension,t

Also in terms of replacing the image with "yourpicname.extension" how big should the image be and where should I save it - i.e. which folder.

A screen dump is attached - I got the BBC weather icons working :-)

Delet or comment out this line:

that is the weather icon, the weather icons are 32x32 but you can fit at least 34x34 image in there.

I know, the normal parameters doesn't seem to work.
However I found a 6K exe file that does.

LTW,
I have not upgraded to TD+10.2 yet on my PPC.
However, on another PPC, I installed SRS TD+ 10.2 and just copied the same skin LTW10.1 and the config.txt that I have working on 10.1. This seems to work OK without major modification
Please let me know should I go ahead and do the same thing on my PPC.
Thx!
