[Updated] Complete skin v0.11.0

[rbg08]

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.  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:
- 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:

Code Select Expand

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:

Code Select Expand

//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.

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.

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?

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?

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

Code Select Expand

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

[pli7]

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?
