[Updated] OSX Complete skin v0.11.0

[rbg08]

OSX Complete skin v0.11.0

Download the latest version of this skin here.

*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.  I've made a few minor cosmetic changes as well.  There are probably other changes that I am forgetting since most were made over a month ago.


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:
- Main page with today's Date, Weather, and current month's Calendar
- World Timezones (both analog and digital)
- Weather for 1 or more cities
- Multiple news feeds with optional Stocks page
- 2 Month Calendar with Agenda Advance function
- Launcher section with room for 33 applications and 9 games
- Quick Launch icons in rows of 10
- Agenda, Tasks, and Countdown display
- Battery, Memory, and Storage Card monitor bars

Would it be possible to modify your skin so that, when you click on the battery meter, storage meter, or memory meter, a shortcut is launched to the application associated with that function?  I think that would be a great addition.  

It could be done when the meter is highlighted in the upper right corner.

I think the recombinant skin is supposed to do this, but that feature doesn't work for me.

rbg08,but I PPC not display "Last update" time ?only display "-:-

Bug in the skin.  I set up the shortcuts as you described, and for the games I only have four games listed and the last one on my list is listed one with an icon and 5 times with no icon.  Beyond that great skin.

Cool skin. How can I make the agenda fill up the rest of the screen? Thanks.

See this original post/reply by rbg08.

I wanna use all the space down for the agenda and not only 5 appointment or activity.

Please refer to this post (half-way down) for instructions on increasing the Agenda section to include more than 5 lines.

The link might not work due to the domain host change, but check it out.

I hope that helps.

I found a bug that wouldn't allow the Main section to collapse (forgot to add a full-refresh ).  I've updated the first post's ZIP file and I'm including the updated skin file below for those who downloaded OSX Complete skin prior to 12/25/03:

*Update: download the newest version in the first post

Yes, I may add this in the next version.  I currently have this function in both of my other skins (Logika Complete & Complete skins), but didn't add it to this skin because the detail screens are more thorough in this skin.

PPC not display "Last update" time ?only display "-:-

It displays "--:--" until you update/syncronize the skin for the first time.  It will also display that any other time the buffer is empty.

Bug in the skin. I set up the shortcuts as you described, and for the games I only have four games listed and the last one on my list is listed one with an icon and 5 times with no icon. Beyond that great skin.

This is not actually a bug, but a quirk of TodayPlus.  To prevent this from happening create additional "blank" shortcuts (no path or name defined) in "apps-3-" until you have a total of 9 shortcuts for that group.

Yesterday I installed your skin. The only problem I had yesterday is that the weather-icon on the today-TAB would'nt show. This morning it did show the icon, but after updating it was gone again.

Try clearing your buffer (manually or using the config app) & resyncing your data.

rbg08,

I admire your work, particularly the Logika skins. I am new with TodayPlus and trying to learn, along with PPX. I ahve a couple of questions, please:

1. What is the reason for clearing the Buffer, and how often?

2. How do you perform a 'REFRESH'? I find that when I load TodayPlus, without regard for any particular skin, I ahve to perform a soft reset in order for the screen to dispaly any information...only a blank screen.

3. I find that while in the learning curve, I disable TodayPlus and PPX to get back to a familar working space. With that said, I have for a long time be an advocate of WisBar. I cannot find a Logika.skin file to use and have resorted to using someone's rip off of yours. Any chance of getting this file?

You don't have to reset the PPC, all you do is go Settings Today items then exit settings and it will refresh.

1. What is the reason for clearing the Buffer, and how often?

The buffer contains previously downloaded weather & news data.  Usually, you shouldn't need to clear this unless that data isn't displaying correctly.

2. How do you perform a 'REFRESH'? I find that when I load TodayPlus, without regard for any particular skin, I ahve to perform a soft reset in order for the screen to dispaly any information...only a blank screen.

The quickest way to reload the  skin is from the config application.  If you get a blank screen, wait a few seconds.  TodayPlus can sometimes take a while to load & display.

3. ...I cannot find a Logika.skin file to use and have resorted to using someone's rip off of yours. Any chance of getting this file?

I use Icbar, so I don't have an original skin file for any of my Wisbar/Icbar themes.  Sorry.
