For anybody interested: My NoName Skin.

It starts with the weather.







Still working on some fintuning, but this will work for now.
If you have nothing to do, don't do it here...

Nice work! I like the subtle color of the battery bar.

What do you think:
For the date day of the week/date you can put an one-month calendar to the far right (as shown in the screenshoot below). Your blue icons can be located in the middle (2 x 3 stack perhaps!)

In the Agenda portion, what is the meaning of the left corner icons: /,1,2,3,4?

Does anybody figure out how to have a automatic scroll (especially in the RSS) like Journalbar?
:lol:

Those are used for filter settings.

I have it working with a refresh of 5 seconds. It switches from nr 1 and nr 2 to nr 3 and nr 4. Only the 1 - is displaying but not yet the description. I have to go now for about an hour, but will leave my version to 'play' with.

wow, even I didn't know it was possible to have automatic scrolling  :shock:

nice work, Doemaarwat

Thx srs, but still have some probs with it ;( See my other thread.

I have been working on something like this for a little while. Hope to have it done soon. It wasn't working very well until I saw Doemaarwat's screen shot of his date.

Blazinwolf. Thanks, that is what I am looking for. Two additional suggestions  :oops:

1-In the Calendar/Date part: you might have room on the last line to put Owner name and Tel# (John Doe 520-799 0356). This will help me to get rid of the standart Owner info to save space.

2-And just add the bottom region with Doemaarwat skin. This will be perfect.

Blazingwolf, SRS: I saw you guys are testing the scrolling capability..Thanks a million!

I should be able to put some owner info there. I will look into it tonight. As for the agenda stuff it is all ready there. I don't use the battery meters but they can be added in simply enough.

Download and install todayPlus. Place the Noname skin in the skin folder(after you download it also :lol: ). Then go into the config file and comment out this line skin,Skins\slider.txt and uncomment this line //skin,Skins\analog-weather.com.txt. By comment I mean add or remove //. This will tell the config file to look for the analog-weather.txt. I think this is the text name. If not just change the name to whatever it is. Hope this helps.
