@ All
I have Upload a new Version (1.04a)

@uk_skinner
Pointed work, I more cannot say to it.  

I finally know now   , what has you thought, with 8 ways badge

Can you still make three exe for me? I then put something together within the next days and provide a detailed report. At the moment, more isn't betrayed    

1st Name = Radar.exe ,  Url = http://www.wetteronline.de/daten/radar/dwdd/2004/09/192000.gif? File = 1.gif

2nd Name = Sat1.exe, Url = http://image.de.weather.com/web/maps/de_DE/satellite/regions/germany_sat_277_nl.jpg File = 2.gif

3rd Name = Sat2.exe, Url = http://image.de.weather.com/web/maps/satellite/regions/europesat_277x187.jpg File = 3.gif

Wichtel:

        Here they are.  But.....

        1) The first link will not be "refreshed" becuase that site change the name of image file once they are updated.  I think I probably will have a solution, but it will be a long...shot.

        2)  The 2nd and 3rd ones are jpg format not gif format.  So the images will be saved as 2.jpg and 3.jpg.

Oh thanks, however, this was fast possible    


To 1  This doesn't matter, I need to test only to this

To 2  This yes clearly was my fault  but this already works so

Problem:  Did you test EzDownload alone?  If you did, check the url address in the window again.  Most likely you did copy/paste and put the extra "http" in there.  The "http://" already in the url address window.  If you were talking about the citi1NL.exe, I tested and it worked on my device.  

As for your curious question, I just stepped in the PPC world this April and discovered the TP program.  So, I was never so "active" before.  This gives me some opportunity to learn the new things.

Thanks for your complement, I was inspired by so many experts here and there.  Great to contribute what I have learned.

Uk_skinner,

Thanks for your answers and thanks for your advice!

On my computer at home everything works fine, but my computer at work refuses to let my pda go on internet for downloading. That's due to one of the settings in the Windows NT network.

Uk_skinner, you opened a new way to get several other things on aTodayPlus screen. Not only the things related to the weather!!! Well done!

Thanks,
Timmy

(...) I think I have a way to put your home town at the center of display, but I need know where it is.  (...) If I know where you want be the center, the offest codes can be used to make adjustment, I think...

Uk_skinner,

Can you, please, give it a try??? I live in the little red circle...

Thanks,
Timmy

Wichtel,

I think I found an "error" in 1.04a:

When you have a task on the main screen, the reminder, the recurrence icon and the text are to far to the right. When I change the next 3 lines in Region 5, the layout is OK:

options,taskformat,0,11,13,%iconstart,60%%sensitivityicon,.....    
change to: 51%

......,10%[%enddate,dd/MM%]%tab,68%%subject%%changefont,tahoma,11,%      
change to: 60%

options,taskoverdue,0,11,13,%iconstart,60%%sensitivityicon,.....  
change to: 51%

......,10%[%enddate,dd/MM%]%tab,68%%subject%%changefont,tahoma,11,%%resettextcolor%  
change to: 60%

options,taskcomplete,0,11,13,%iconstart,60%%sensitivityicon,.....
change to: 51%

......,10%[%enddate,dd/MM%]%tab,68%%subject%%changefont,tahoma,11,%
change to: 60%

I hope it's still clear what I mean, otherwise just ask!

@ Motormuis
that is not a Bug, that is a feature

Timmy,  How does this look to you?  You can add a small image indicate that is your home town or add the name of city.  Using the same approach you can label other cities on the map too.  Ok, here are the codes you need in the region 19.  Please notice the position of the codes.

activatebuttons,19

load,city,%var9%

if,var,var9,,=,1
   storevar,var11=2
   storevar,var12=-60
   
else
endif.......
.......
.......

if,var,var9,,=,1
text,90,130,Timmy's Home,r
else
endif

imagebutton,210,2,Popupschliessen.png,t,3,4,0,3
button,210,2,12,12,-1,6,var25=1,-1
button,210,2,12,12,1,4,0
button,210,2,12,12,19,4,999
imagebutton,10,2,refresh.png,t,19,0,%apps-7-%var9%-highlight,19


If you will need the navigation buttons, then I have to rewrite the codes.  The "Timmy's Home" will not move with the image if using the codes above.

If you need adjust the position of map, try to play around the var11 and var12 number.

Uk_skinner,

You're faster than the fastest Dutch express-train, using no speed-limiters... Thanks for your quick answer!!!

Thanks to you, to Wichtel and to other guys skinning is amusing and funny again

Timmy, no problem just don't let my boss know .  
If you and anyone need my help to set it up for other radar or satellite image, just post here.  Codes can be writen to customerize each city and label the key cities in the image.  And can be moved with the image if you use navigation buttons.  Another feature I am looking it is pop-up weather icons for the cities on the image...

[Wichtel]

@ Timmy
Have no more time for work, I must skinning

@ Motormuis

You use other icons I suspect that the size isn't correct.I have loaded the Skin with myself and it works

[Motormuis]

Wichtel,

I mean, they are not lined out like everything else:

A little fault still exists in version 1.04a on the Mainpage. If the battery status and the mamory status change, it comes to a jump of the headings (Agenda / News Ticker)

The following entry takes remedial action. Please insert the entries represented green in the regions. The download was already changed.
