BatteryPlus

[Lordtwisted]

Batteryplus specs.


I have created batteryplus. It is a system info region, to be used with any skin from version 0.9.8 on up. I will break down the sections on the main region. I created some new icons and used two from lightman, but modified them some. Here are some information and pics. I will be zipping them up tonight and will post it tonight or tomorrow morning.

           Battery section
1.   The icons will change depending on the battery status: Plug for AC, a grayed out battery for charging, regular battery for 75% to 100%, green battery for 50% to 75%, blue battery for 25% to 50%, and red battery for 0% to 25%. Also the text will change.
2.   If you click on the icons they will open up the battery program of your ppc.
3.   If you click the bar graph it will open up more info region.


Memory section
1.   Two icon change. Once you're memory reaches a certain percentage (chosen by user) it will change to a red memory other wise it is a regular memory.
2.   If you click on the icon it will open up the memory program of you're ppc.
3.   If you click the bar graph it will open up more info region.


SD/iPAQ section
1.   If the SD card is in it will show SD icon and info, otherwise it will show iPAQ icon and info.
2.   If you click either icon it will open explorer with their respectful folder
3.   If you click the bar graph it will open up more info region.


Uptime section
1.   When the ppc is synched the icon will grey out.


CF section
2.   If you tap the icon it will open up explorer with the CF folder open.
3.   If you click the bar graph it will open up more info region.


Reset/EST/Suspend
1.   It has a reset button and a suspend button for the ppc. I will include the small exe files for Reset and Suspend by rhm.
2.   It shows the reset time and the est time.

Very nice job.  I have been thinking about this for awhile but never tried to do it(mostly because I didn't know how). I eagerly await the files.

[Lordtwisted]

Thanks Blazingwolf.

Here is the zip file:


edit: deleted .zip it was an old one.

I have updated battery+ to show the cf card correctly, I forgot to put it in the skin. and i have added the four .lnk files for Ipaq file store, SD card, CF card, Memory. and that should do it.

edit: deleted .zip it was an old one.

This version works with the lattest todaypluss version. In the last version i forgot to give you the gradient.bmp for the bars, i icludded them in the one. I includded the whole skin and config, .lnk files, icons, every thing should be in there. Enjoy.

Lordtwisted

edit: sorry, here is the right zip. And i also forgot to tell you about the est time in battery more info region, I created thet one before srs's est time. Mine is programed to my iPAQ 2215. It is set to my prefrences, backlihght.
On the iPaq 2215 under the battery section it has standby if you click that it will show you approx time left. so i programed it to be exactly down to the last 1%. If you get below 25 minutes it will display warnning... Depending on your settings it won't be exactly the same, unless you are close to my settings.

[liopox]

Excuse me, but in the new archive you post, i cant find the bars. I have compared with the first archive you post in this tread and is the same

[Lordtwisted]

liopox,

 I fixed the zip in the above post.


Here is a tip/trick, you can use any folder to display it info. I don't have a cf card so i created a folder called CF card, and i can get all the info for that folder, just like a CD card CF card ect. here is a pic.

What are the icons for the sd card and cf card suppossed to link too? I have tried them in several locations and it brings up internet explorer and then says "The page you are looking for cannot be found."

[hakeashar]

ok before I download, is this the right zip?    

Thanks a lot, Lordtwisted, I can't wait to see how you did this!

Blazingwolf,

They bring up the SD/CF/IP folders with windows explorer, use my .lnk files that come with the last zip.

If your SD card is not renamed to SD card, then you have to change the shortcut to the correct name (ie storage card for example). You cannot simply rename the shortcut, you have to change it internaly.One tool i know to change them is to use resco explorer and edit the property of the shortcut. Beware, the part past the "?" is for the icon.

[Lordtwisted]

Yes you have to change some of the .lnk (shortcut) files to your folders.
And to open a .lnk all you need is note pad, just click all files and open the .lnk thats it. it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-5067

Thats the one that comes with batteryplus for the memory.

[Yogiman]

I don't know what it is, but i've got the same problem. Wen i click the sd card icon, it says Error opening the shortcut. I've checked the shortcut and it is there en points to the right folder.

But.... the rest works perfect, you batterplus is awesome.

[Lordtwisted]

I think i know the proplem for the sd and cf card links i have this:

58#\windows\fexplore.exe \sd card?\windows\cplicons1.dll,-215


where it is refering to cplicons1.dll. i made this .dll for custom icons, so here it is.
