LTwisted (ver 0.10.1)

[dhpss]

Some personal modification on LTW skin. Thanks  SRS,LTW for the great work as always!

1-Analog clock face same as world clock face (useful for dark wall paper)
Bold parts are my modif
//image,117,-1,tclock.png,t
image,116,-2,analogclock.png,t
analogclock,132,13,hourhand.png,minutehand.png,tr

2-I am using a free picture tool called Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm), to resize picture to W:89, H:69. Irfanview also allow to sharpen image (to show better on small window and use 3-D button option to add a nice thin bezel around for a professional look.
I enlarge the owner picture to 87 x 53, eliminate 2 top line, and use 2 bottom lines from LTW skin just for Name and Phone#

if,var,var12,,=,1
       image,150,-1,%owner image%,t
       changefont,tahoma,12,b
       text,170,49,%owner name%,l
       changefont,tahoma,10,b
       text,164,58,%owner phone%,l

3-As you can see in the screenshot, there is a green separation line between the main page and weather. Actually it is the battery gradient info. If 100% charged, you see the full green line, the line will be gradually shortened and goes to yellow and red. For this I add a region 5 and add the following code (thks Rgb08!)

region,5,0,5
defregion,5,0,0,240,2,1
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
battery,bar,0,0,240,2,gradient_red-green gradient.png
offsetadd,0,2
endregion,5,0

I have quick questions:
1-How to make the buttons popup as defauft instead of Temp and Humidity?
2-What is the purpose of the down arrow button (2nd from left)
3-Where is the Launcher in the skin (Region 16)?
Thx!

Yes i created it so when the buttons are not showing there would be something there besides blank space. You can't have both of them showing unless you move one of them.

I've moved them apart, thats why i asked

[dhpss]

Did not have time to get to it until now:
1-The Temp and Humidity do not show up.
2-The 2-month calendar (Tap on icon located on the right of Agenda) does not show up neither.
Anybody else is having the same problem?

I just add 2 vertical red bars to highlight Saturday and Sunday columns of the one-month calendar. Just add in the main region:

image,227,21,redbar.png,t

Store the attached redbar.png in the image\3D-Image

dhpss,

1-How to make the buttons popup as defauft instead of Temp and Humidity?

Look for this:

Code Select Expand

initregion,14,0

region,14,100,-1
offset,offset_0,offset_0
offsetadd,0,4
imagebutton,2,53,expand active.png,t,14,4,0,0
color,replacement,-1_7_-1,255_255_255
//image,92,0,button balloon.png,tr
color,replacement,-1_6_-1,0_0_0
offsetadd,0,0
if,var,var26,,=,0

on the bottom line change the 0 to a 1 and it will display the icons when started.

2-What is the purpose of the down arrow button (2nd from left)

When facing down the weather,rss,clock will show in diffrent regions/places, if it's up then they will show up top and replace each other.

3-Where is the Launcher in the skin (Region 16)?

I am not sure what you'r saying, you are displaying it on you'r pic.

1-The Temp and Humidity do not show up.

Try deleting everthing in the buffer folder, and make sure you configured you'r weather in the config.txt file.

-The 2-month calendar (Tap on icon located on the right of Agenda) does not show up neither.
Anybody else is having the same problem?

When there is no room for the calendar it will not show the calendar, it is programed in todayplus that way.



Yogiman,

1. How can i make the button popup always visible..... after a soft reset ?
2. How can i make the text under the button popup always visible ? It dissapears when the popup is expanded.

if you want the icons to show when you start it up then do what i told dhms to do.

The text don't acually disapear it just gets coverd up. but if you move it it should show up, depending on where you placed it, there are spots in the top region where you can't place the text though. can you post a pic and pm me you'r skin file and let me know where you want it. I will take a look at it.

Thanks Lordtwisted

LTW: Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested but these 2 problems did not change:

1-Popup buttons as default: (if,var,var26,,=,0 to if,var,var26,,=,1)
2-Temp Temp HU% still have no value (I did clear buffer and resync; my weather is set in the config.txt as shown in my weather region above screenshot)

Thanks again for your time!

[Lordtwisted]

you'r welcome,

I think from you'r screen shot the temp is still black, In region 14,0,-1

place this in front of the temp comands:

Code Select Expand

color,font,225_255_255

That would make the text white.

for the popup I have to look into this.

Thanks Lordtwisted

LTW: Please let us know if we can use this skin for the TD+ 10.2?
Now I already have this skin customized to my personal needs. Please advise how to perform the upgrade (painlessly, I hope!)
Thx!  

[inawe]

Just wanted to say a thank you to srs for a great program, and to LordTwisted for a superb skin.

I only came across TD+ last week, and within a day I had removed all my other plug-ins, and began the process of getting everything to suit my own setup.

One of the problems I am having at the moment is getting the pop-up buttons to appear as default after a soft-reset. I followed LT's advice on changing the 0 to 1, but all that achieved was to get the up or down arrow to stick and not change when pressed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

[Lordtwisted]

inawe,

Thank you.

use this:

Code Select Expand

poweron,14,1


put it after:

Code Select Expand

initregion,0,0
initregion,1,0
initregion,4,999
initregion,10,999
initregion,8,0
initregion,11,999
initregion,19,999

poweron,14,1

every time you turn it on it will show the buttons, sorry about the last one i didn't try it. this works for version 0.10.2 i think it will work for the other versions too.

Thanks Lordtwisted

dhpss,

Yes it painless i already converted it i will explain when i get homefrom work.

[inawe]

Thank you very much Lordtwisted, for the prompt reply. I followed your instructions, and the only change I had to make to the initial statement was
        poweron 14,100
and then it worked fine.

Am also looking forward to any of your suggestions on how to update to the 10.2 skin without re-doing everything.  

[Lordtwisted]

inawe and dhpss,

To convert the skin all you do is copy the sections that has changes like in the skin i copied  the weather section, battery+ section, calendar/poom section and REGION 0 - PAGE 0 Date section, REGION 14 - PAGE 0 Button popup. I copyed and pasted the hole sections.

and for the config i just copyed the parts that i have changed. But i think you can use the skin without any changes. I think you can, I did not try it so i am not 100% sure. I will be posting a new version tomorro night with some xtras in it.

Thanks Lordtwisted

I did the same, had a green one for Saturday,
except I made them hollow (like a bracket) though.

...didn't like a whole solid bar

[force]

force,

Maybe it's off topic...
noticed shortcut,work14,\windows\backlight.exe
at your config

What I would like to know is that is there any parameters to add
so that I can jump right to the brightness tab?

(Guess I was kinda missing the old DOS /? ...)

Yes there is a way to do it with a .lnk file. let me see if i could find it.


Thanks Lordtwisted    

Don't forget to let me know when you find that file. Thanks

[Lordtwisted]

force,

I just can't seem to find it, I will look again toinight after work. I saw it awile back in a brighthand thread. I would like to use it to.

Have you tried simply creating a *.lnk with the following line :

1#backlight


Works for me.
