Glad it worked. I just realized I posted a slightly modified version without the stock feeds. I corrected this in my post above so you might want to grap the file again.

I noticed that, but was able to get it working OK.

Thanks

Great skin.I like it and did some changes, but I can't see a birthday and anniversary in my Agenda items(may be a matter - I use Pocket Informant).
Can you help me,please?

I've just started learning to use todayplus and downloaded yours in my PPC .it works great.But can I ask u something...how come after updating my weather forecast my news still blank?Do I need to update seperately?

Is there a way to add in picture to the program? how?

Thanks for the wonderful skin :)

saarg - I don't use Pocket Informant but try replacing the following in your config file:

options,poom,default
with
options,poom,pi
Does this help?

argh2000 - The news and weather should update together. Are you sure you are waiting long enough? It can take a long time for the news to update if you have a lot of feeds. Try clearing the buffer directory and updating everything again.

A picture could be added but it would mean losing something else on the main page. If you wanted to do this you could replace the weather icon next to the date.The code for the weather icon is here:

load,city,1
calcvar,var20,weatherupdatetimediff

if,var,var20,,<,240
todayicon,0,0,,t
else
calcvar,var21,firstvalidforecastday
forecasticon,%var21%,0,0,,t
endif


You could replace it with something like this:

image,0,0,my image,t

where my image is an image placed in the Recombinant directory. You might also have to move the image and text around on the main page to get it all to fit but this should give you the idea.

Hi Ya1950,

thanks for the info, but what if I want to remove the battery and SD card indicator and remain the reset button.Can I place the picture there instead.Can u show me which line should I edit?

Thanks a million!

ya1950

argh2000 - The code you want starts in the area labeled 'system information' with the lines:

draw,roundrect,164,2,26,9,100_100_100,h

button,148,0,42,19,-1,0,%power
changefont,tahoma,9,
if,batterystatusunknown


and continues until:

endif
// END storage devices
// -----------------------------------------

image,195,0,Backlight.png,t
button,195,0,13,16,-1,0,%backlight,


You would delete this code and put your image there.
If you want to leave the backlight just keep the last 2 lines intact.

You might also want to take a look at rbg08's OSX skin which this skin is based upon. He has a calendar on the main page which you could remove and place your image if you wanted.

Did you reload the plugin? if you make changes you need to reload the plugin or they won't work. To do this tap start/settings/Today/items and then ok. This should get it working.

Ipaq 3955 WM2003, SD and CF,Pocket Informant
