OSX Complete skin v0.9.8

[arbitrajeu]

qiqi - I presume your bandwidth-stealing post is intended to point out where rbg08's inspiration came from?  rbg08 credited Juni on his very first iteration of this skin and Juni is aware (admittedly, retrospectively) of the use of his intellectual property.

If you wouldn't object, I'd like to remove the graphic, so people on dial-up (like myself) won't have to contend with it?

EDIT:  qiqi - apologies for the tone of my post.  It was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, but ended up just being a demonstration of a stressful afternoon.  Thanks for removing the screenshot, though

My Time with Analog face does not show Hourhand and Minutehand. I don't see anything wrong in the skin. Do you have any advice where to look for.
Thx as always!

Actually they are there, just very hard to see. Is there any way to make them bolder in black. Thanks!

Yes, I forgot to fix this before I released it.    Here's the updated skin file with black clock hands and a few cosmetic fixes (makes a couple graphics line up better):

thank you

RBG08:

In your lastest Logika skin. JS has modified the use of separation bar to make them show battery status and memory http://www.dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=500&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.

It is a wonderful idea to apply to this skin, since the separation bars are thick here.

Then perhaps replace the current bars on the main region to put a little calendar as seen here: http://dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=307

As always, your help/advice is greatly appreciated!

what do i do with wisbar osx folder please?

The Wisbar OSX folder contains images that can be used by Wisbar, Wisbar Advance, or Icbar to skin the top & bottom bars of your PPC screen.  These files are not neccessary for TodayPlus.  I just included them for those who use the above mentioned programs and wish to have matching graphics.

dhpss,

That's a very good idea!  I'll look into possibly implementing this in the next version of the skin.

rbg08 - here is a quick look at dhpss' request.

I think it all looks pretty good so far:
1) Modified the selected tabs so they don't overlap the mem bar when selected
2) Battery meter seems to work and is updating fine on my iPAQ.

* Have NO idea how to set the paramaters to update the mem/storage area.  I have tried everything, but can't get it working.  If someone can tweak this section (bold lines added by me) to show an updated meter, it should be done.

Thanks for the new update. This is a great skin. I also updated my page to add more space for the calendar and task items as suggested and it is working very well.

I wanted to know how to make the "Main" tab the active tab when i reset the pda or have not been to the today screen in some period of time. Any help appreciated.

Also is it possible to create shortcuts to PI Tasks, PI Calendar or PI Notes? I inserted the shortcut but it only launches the PI program.

Thanks tons!

Hey, JS good luck in your troubleshooting effort and thank to both of you (Rgb08+JS) to consider my suggestion. Please let me know as soos as you figure it out..Please do not forget to replace the original battery/memory info on the main page with the one-month calendar as seen on Calendar skin. .
JS: See your PM!

[dhpss]

JS, for the overall balance and esthetic, you might consider to reduce the thickness of the bars a bit. (somewhere between your Logika and OSX)..

Great work, this is still by far my favourite skin.

I have been making a few small modifications to suit my personal taste e.g. changing the timezone settings so that the names are retrived from the config file and giving the apps launcher the same layout (with the text descriptions) as the games section (if I ever need more I will try and add an additional page). However the one thing I haven't worked out how to reimplement in this version is replacing the stocks page with a standard RSS feed can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Arbitrajeu, I tried the initregion command you posted and it doesn't seem to happy about this when TodayPlus is first restarted and hence I assume after a soft reset any ideas?

Also I have been thinking about how to get the SD card displayed and wondered about adding a page button which would flip between the Battery/memory display present now and the SD/CF card values (although currently only my SD slot is in use) is this possible?

Anyway great work as usual rbg08,

Morpheus

P.S.
Just in case anyone else has been trying to get the SilverAqua skin posted in the origin OS-X skin thread working with Wisbar Advance I have created a WA skin file which combines this with the default WA skin buttons plus a badly photoshoped tap and hold OK and close buttons which works reasonably well. I have not done the custom buttons, connected/disconnected buttons or notification buttons because I do not use these although I have creayted a bad menu button as I did consider having a crack at all of them at one point. Anyway if anyone who is a bit more artistically inclined wants to have a go at this I have attached the skin file and (very rough) buttons.

Well, as I've stated many times, I am NO artist and don't know enough about Today Plus to really make that many changes.

Adding the battery and memory meters to OSX was simple enough, but as I said in an earlier post, I don't know how to get the mem meters to update in the new position.  

I am really just playing and trying to learn.  Since rbg08 did all the Today Plus work on this skin and has already said he will update the OSX skin with some new stuff, I'll leave that to him.  

I will be glad to share the small changes I have already made......but I WON'T be modifying the skin any more than that.

[rbg08]

I wanted to know how to make the "Main" tab the active tab when i reset the pda or have not been to the today screen in some period of time. Any help appreciated.

This is simple enough.  Just add the following code in the skin file immediately after the maxheight & height commands:

Code Select Expand

initregion,8,0
initregion,7,1
initregion,0,500
initregion,5,0
initregion,1,0

Also is it possible to create shortcuts to PI Tasks, PI Calendar or PI Notes? I inserted the shortcut but it only launches the PI program.

I don't use PI, but it sounds like the shortcut path you have defined in your config file is to the main program and not the individual sub-programs (i.e.: Tasks, Calendar).  Try searching your PPC directory and see if you can find the correct path to open those sub-programs directly.
