In TodayPlus config you have the apps-6 group and then you added suspend to the group correct. Here is a screen shot of TP Config.



Did you check to see if the shortcut you created is pointing to the apps-6 folder and suspend in the TP folder?

[JTod]

Yes, but still not working.  Is the apps-6 folder in TP folder or root?

[joelw135]

The apps-6 folder should be in the TP folder, is it there? And does it have the suspend app in it? The key is the shortcut pointing to that folder.

[JTod]

Yes.  It is there and the suspend.exe program is in the folder.  Not sure why it is not working.  JTod

[joelw135]

Did you use the browse button in config to point it to the folder and suspend or did you just type it in? If you typed it in you mite not have it correct. Also the order in the TP config must be correct. That is the only things that would prevent it from working.

[JTod]

Yes.  I did.  I appreciate your help with this.   JTod

JTod,

You should look in your config program on wich place your apps-6 resides.
In this example it's on the third place, with the suspend-function on the first place, so the correct syntax in the txt file should be:

%Apps-3-1-highlight

The apps-6 it's just a name. In the above syntax it's the place in the config.
In the original HammerSkin manual says, that you should place the group apps-6 on the six place in the shortcuts. In this example it's on the third place with a change in the txt file.

I hope it's clear, succes....!

I will try to provide translated instructions to the Skin next week. It is also to configure detailed instructions like Apps 6 in addition to this. The German users also had problems with that.

A new problem has been confessed at the moment. Icon number 11 (all 4 groups, small icons) is missing respectively in the Launcher (Misspelling when developing the Skin ). I will provide a small update with further improvements at the weekend (Version 1.04a)


Edit: I still will publish a short instructions  for the Shortcuts tonight (GMT + 2 Hours)

@JTod: in the config.exe the apps-6-group has to be the 6th group,
so if you didn't configure that, it won't work.

f.ex. you have to create 5 groups first:

1 - apps
2 - games
3 - utilities
4 - and so on
5 - the 5th group
6 - apps-6                    

The names of the groups are freely configurable and can be as you like.
If they aren't in the right order, you can move them by selecting and
click on the arrows to move it down or up.

Hope, this helps
Greetings Broesel

[JTod]

Success!
Thanks,

Great stuff Wichtel. I came back in here to figured out suspend button thing but it looks like i didn't have to ask as others have and it worked great for me. I feel special now that i have finally actually understood what you guys have ment for the longest time,lol

One question. I seem to only have shortcuts for suspend, memory and SD/CF storage. Is there away i can get a battery, file storage and status area shortcut?

I have a Axim X30High just to let you guys know.

Thankz guys

Ok, I have found a way to download the radar images from internet without using IE.  The idea was "inspired" by LT.  I work out the details in next few days and will post here for anyone want to use it.  But before doing so, I need to get a permission from author of a "free" program I used.  Initially, it might not be very user frendly.  If anyone or myself find a better way, then please feel to do so.  Here are some outlines.

Once setup,

1)   The radar image of each cities will be downloaded from internet (your preferred site) and saved as cityid.png/gif/jpg in a particular folder within TP.

2)   The radar image can be called out by user whenever is needed by a button within TP.

3)  The refresh button can be used to download the "updated" image for each or all cities if necessary within TP.

Again, the image will be downloaded via HTTP without using IE.  If you have any suggestion or thoughts please post here to see I will be able to do it.
