Shortcut to Settings - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

This ones had me pulling my hair out...
Does anybody know of a way to create a shortcut to the Settings (Control Panel)
Ive discovered how to make shortcuts to individual elements of the Settings ie power screen or connections screen but a shortcut to the Main Settings screen is still beyond my reach.

Can you provide the shortcut to connections screen ? I couldn't find it.

Although there is a link in the Windows\Start Menu\ folder this is just an icon image. I could be wrong but this folder location is part off the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry. As far as I am guessing is that this folder is vied by the OS as a system element of the OS and not a folder tree in the OS. Meaning there is no way less VB to make a shortcut to this "folder". The item in this sectional devide are all programs and have .exe's so if you can find the .exe you can make a shortcut. In some cases where there is no .lnk file with an ican associated with it you will just get a defaul image in your shortcut location you have created.

\Windows\remnet.exe is what you are looking for. create a shortcut using this file rename it connection or whatever and there you have it.

tnx

remnet.exe takes you right to that particular settings exe. But there's also the shortcut notation often used:
\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain,7
where the number (7 in this example) is a specific control panel. Does anyone have the complete list of numbers for various control panels? Some utilities like Battery Pack use this notation in the links on their today launcher plug-in, but I can't install it because of a compatibility issue, so I can't find a list of the control panel numbers.

I forgot where but somewhere I downloaded a small zip archive that contains links to many control panel settings.

samohile is there any chance of you posting the zip archive anywhere?
Cheers

Does anyone know how to get an icon for the remnet.exe shortcut? I am looking for the "Connections" icon under Settings--Connections-->Connections Icon.
Anyone? I know how to adjust the shortcut. I just do not know what file holds that icon and the index.
Thanks

Shortcut to programs
Does anyone know the .lnk or .exe for the programs folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view rather than in list view. Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for...

There is an app posted here somewhere called folderview.exe.
Place that on your device in the windows folder (I think) and you can lnk to it. I could not get it to work until I edited the lnk with a text editor, placing " #" at the end of the text (space + "#")
I would still love to get a lnk to the main settings page if anyone has ever figured that one out.

Here is the list I just compiled using the run command over and over. The amusing thing is I did NOT find what I was looking for, it turned out to be an .exe in windows: USBtoPC.exe. Duh.
I did this on a stock Sprint HTC Touch Pro, with Windows Mobile 6.1, but I would guess these don't change much.
1 = lock
2 = owner info
3 = power
4 = memory
5 = about
6 = backlight
7 = screen
8 = input
9 = sounds and notifications
10 = remove programs
11 = menus
12 = buttons
13 = today
14 = domain enroll
15 = beam
16 = clocks and alarms
17 = wi-fi
18 = regional settings
19 = connections
20 = phone
21 = ? (nothing happened)
22 = certificates
23 = bluetooth
24 = error reporting
25 = GPS
26 = connection manager
27 = encryption
28 = ? (nothing happened)
29 = customer feedback

Did anyone ever figure this out?
Just a .lnk file that brings you to the settings window? You'd think this isn't so hard but dang.

this works!
Found this in hints & tweaks on HD2, works on mine..
101. Enable All Settings Shortcut in Start Menu
Most roms have the Settings shortcut in Start Menu link to the Manila Settings tab. To gain access to the Windows Mobile settings you have to go to the Manila Settings tab, hit Menu and then hit All Settings. The following tweak adds a new shortcut to the All Settings page. Soft reset required.
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings and change 1 to 0.
good luck!

Bro, i tried to convert the original cab into reg den removed the setup.dll and reinsert the reg into it.
Overall i think the problem lies with the setup.dll as they tried to protect and in force securities into the installation cab which causes the compatibilities issue with our atom.
The issues why it affects our atom i guess is due to the certmod.dll in our atom which Jiggs told me that it cant be disabled or hacked in our atom
So lets hope Jiggs managed to solve this which will most likely solve the installation issue with many Appz.
If anyone have programming background and know how to extract the info from setup.dll please let us know. I really think a bit of altering will let it work properly in our atom.
And if anyone had other device which can install PocketPlus, do extract the reg info and let me see. Maybe i can try to manually insert those reg entries and see if it will works on our atom
THank!!
Have been using it.It's great.Smart scrolling function is there but cant configure it to set contacts or other programmes to scroll.Same goes to close button where although it does really close pro grammes but the option tab does not seem to appear on the task bar
Hi
I installed and configured everything from the scratch and it is working great. I have not tried to use the closed button function.
This version is more flexible and faster that the previous ones.
unable to install trial version from SPB.. its always unsuccessfull?..
I have it working well on WM5, which reg keys etc are needed?
Issues...
The today plugin works after setting a few options in the control panel.
The close button and battery meter didn't work.
I was able to get them to work by going setting the PocketPlus service to start automatically. I used MemMaid to do this. Just go to startup items, use the dropdown at the top to select "Startup Services." On mine it was the first entry. Set it to auto and now things seem to be working.
Smart scrolling isn't working. I think it is because there are no applications defined for it.

Can you please backup your settings and post the file here? Smart Scrolling isn't working for me. I think it is because there are no applications defined. Hopefully if you backup your settings I can restore them and then have the default apps working for smart scrolling.
Could you also export: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus\
Thanks in advance!

Smart Scrolling continued
With Brando's registry settings I now have all the entries in the list for the Smart Scrolling feature. They are all enabled, but it still doesn't work. I would guess there is another service not starting. I tried enabling _PocketPlusTouch.dll, but it just returns "invalid function."
It also seems that when I reset the Atom, the PocketPlus service does not auto start. I have to restart it from MemMaid each time I boot.

is a multiple line string value
such value is identical to SysListView32
Don't worry about it.
It looks like this (hex) when being exported.
However, I tried to copy and paste the registry from the above message, it has problem in creating the key WindowClasses.
You might first export another existing entry, e.g. fexplore.exe, and then modify the key name to the exe filename,
and also the UserName (as the name appears in the list), save it and import. should be safe and easy enough.
The most easiest way is first use a registry editor, create the exe entry, e.g. "Explorer.exe",
copy contents in other entry and paste to it, make minor modifications.
To make the changes effective, need to disable and then enable the smart scrolling.
The Smart Scrolling does not work

HowTo: Customise HTC ActionScreen

To customise the HTC ActionScreen you can change the total number of icons, the size and shape of icons, their position, the image, and what is launched by pressing the icon.
All reg settings are contained within [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
Each Application reg file is numbered sequentially starting with App_0 going up to the total number of icons -1 (for 8 icons, App_0 to App_7).
Each icon can be shifted to where it is wanted by changing the xPos and yPos dwords, the top left of the screen is xPos 0 yPos 0, with yPos being the vertical distance, and xPos being the horizontal distance from the top right of the screen in pixels. This must be a positive value. The image files can be located anywhere, including the storage card.
Any image can be used, so long as it is converted into a *.brn, and matches the dimensions of the reg file.
The "name" registry entry is the text that appears to the right of the image, as of yet I know no way of changing its position other than moving the entire icon.
This works on other devices with the HTC ActionScreen.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen]
"Default"=""
"Check"=dword:00000001
"Row"=dword:00000007 [RIGHT]Number of rows[/RIGHT]
"Column"=dword:00000001 [RIGHT]Number of columns[/RIGHT]
"BaseImage"="" [RIGHT]Background image[/RIGHT]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_0]
"Default"=""
"Name"="" [RIGHT]Text displayed next to the icon[/RIGHT]
"Path"="" [RIGHT]What's launched by pressing[/RIGHT]
"IconPressPath"="" [RIGHT]Image shown when pressed[/RIGHT]
"yPos"=dword:00000028 [RIGHT]Position relative to the top (in pixels)[/RIGHT]
"Width"=dword:000000f0 [RIGHT]Width of icon[/RIGHT]
"IconPath"="" [RIGHT]Basic icon[/RIGHT]
"Param"="" [RIGHT] Parameters of what is launched[/RIGHT]
"Type"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Type (no idea...)[/RIGHT]
"xPos"=dword:00000000 [RIGHT]Position relative to left of screen (pixels)[/RIGHT]
"IconSelectPath"="" [RIGHT]Image displayed when selected[/RIGHT]
"Height"=dword:00000028
Attached are image files demonstrating it.
thank for the nice guide..
will try to edit it..
ActionScreen from program files...
Put all the default .brns in \Program files\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...
And... ActionScreen from storage card...
Put all the default .brns in \Storage Card\ActionScreen, import this, soft reset and then it should run from program files rather than windows (or whereever it is running from) to help reduce the size of the windows dir...
good work! btw, have you one of the latest action screen cab?
if yes, can you link it?
Thankx
I have 'v1.00'...

I'm using one of Dutty's roms and I'm wondering what registry change would need to be made to make the ActionScreen button go away, and be replaced by Calendar.
I like the old way of doing things.

You may have a shortcut to "SoftKeys" under the System tab of the Settings. If not, look at this: http://www.dotfred.net/SoftkeyAppletEx.htm
It's simpler than using the registry and tends to work better...

[05.11.2008] iFonz: Active Weather Icon +5day forecast

SORRY, am no more active on this Topic cause Device does no more exist.
Please use at your own Risk. But don't expect answers any more.
Weather icon showing Temperature and Weathercondition at selectable iFonz-Icon plus 5 Day forecast, new weathericons
(Only iFonz 1.1.2 not iFonz 2 by now)
Hi,
the Mortscript, I've done (based on Infos of this thread), is a plugin that replaces an IFonz icon by a weathericon(showing actual weather) and shows temerature as Icon name. In the new version, pressing the weathericon will now show a five day forecast(see screenshots at the end of post). I hope, you'll like it.
The ifonzWeather.ZIP now contains two Mortscripts iFonzWeather.mscr (sceduled download of weatherdata and refresh iFonzscreen) and the new iFonzForecast.mscr(when started expand from 1 to 5 weathericons for 5 day forecast and restore original icons when started again.)
What is new/has changed:
Removed Bug wrong Icon is shown, when online source for weatherdata is available, but Page says no actual data available(weathercode 3200, not 0, not na)
The script can now autoconnect to gsm if no dataconnection is available and if wanted!
Added iFonzForecast.mscr to be started by weathericon. This will give you 5day Forecast, shown as iFonzIcons.
What do you need/have to do:
iFonz 1.1.2(Works with older versions too, but I got reports, that with V0.99 is waits with iconupdate till newstart of iFonz.)
Download and install the Mortscript-4.1PPC.cab
Download my Mortscripts iFonzWeather.zip (see end of post)
S2U2 has Weathericons included, but you can also download the ones i've created of them(complete set but not perfect). Better use blueaxe's icons(see end of post)
Modify scripts with texteditor to fit your needs(at least change your location/descriped further down).
Start it manually by doubleclicking on script to start or put a lnk to windows\autostart(startup)\
What does the script(iFonzWeather.mscr) do:
It downloads the actual weathercondition and the forecast for five days, of a place you select, from Yahoo.weather.com and saves them. It uses the internetconnection available(I've testet via wlan and activesync)
It canges the iFonz icon (you can select in the script) to show the picture of the actual weatherconditions.
it changes iconname shown, to a combination of actual temp and forecast(highes and lowest temp).
It lets you open the 5day forecast if selected or altenatively sets the icon, to start the Browser, you've chosen in the mortscript, and opens the yahoo page showing further weatherinformation to your selectet place. You can also disable this if you like to start an other app.
It will retry to get weater every hour(but you can change the timeintervall to any time in mortscript).
If connection is not available, it will try to use saved weatherdata for showing actual day and the forecast.
Needed changes in script(iFonzWeather.mscr) Simply change with texteditor
The mortscript should work without any changes on english devices. It is by default set, to use the weatherpictures of s2U2, if S2U2 is installed in "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\". Pressing the Icon will start iFonzForecast.mscr(change icons to show 5 day forecast). It will change the 4th Icon on the first page to be the main weathericonon the first page(can be changed)
Here you see the settings you can change in an texteditor
# USER SETTINGS, CHANGE AS DESIRED
#
# your location (see http://weather.yahoo.com/ on finding your location)
location="GMXX0115"
# desired units for temp, f or c

# Set GSMConnection to your internetconnection("The Internet","Internet","My ISP"..see settings/connections ...)
# If you only want to use available connections set GSMConnection=""

iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
# iFonzWNA(WeatherPic if not available: to use s2u2icons set "0" else "na"
iFonzWNA = "0"
# Want iFonz to open Yahooweather for your destination, when icon pressed ? set iFonzOpenYahoo=2
# Want iFonz to show Weatherforecast with Icons ? set iFonzOpenYahoo=2
iFonzOpenYahoo=2
iFonzBrowser = "\windows\iexplore.exe"
# Choose Icon to change
# iFonzBottomIcon(True = BottonIcon/False = NormalIcon)
# ifonzIconNumber(0..X)
# ifonzPageNumber(1..X)not needed if bottomicon
iFonzBottomIcon = false
ifonzIconNumber = 3
ifonzPageNumber = 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set location to your locationcode.For finding your locationcode, enter http://weather.yahoo.com/ and click trough the countries and the cities untill you find your place.
Then you'll see your needed location in the adressfield of your browser.
"http://weather.yahoo.com/Rosenheim-Germany/GMXX0115/forecast.html"
You want fahrenheit, not centigrade? Change units from c to f
You dont want the script to autoconnect to gsm? SetGSMConnection=""
You want to reload data in shorter or longer Timeintervalls? Change delayHours = 1 and delayMinutes = 0 to your needs
You want other Pix? Change iFonzPixPath to the folder containing the pictures. The mortscript uses 0.png up to 47.png and nb.png for weather not available. So check if NA-Picture is called 0.png or NA.png and eventually change iFonzWNA from "0" from to "na"
Choose pressing Weathericon, (2)to open 5day-forecast inside iFonz(offline), (1) to open online Webpage with further data or (0) select any app to open, manually in iFonz iconsettings, by setting iFonzOpenYahoo =2, 1 or 0
You want iFonz to start an other browser(please Internetexplorer is a shame), for showing further weather information ? Set iFonzBrowser to an other browser.
You want an other Icon to be changed? Set iFonzBottomIcon = True (0..X), if you want to change an icon in bottombar, set if false if you want to change a normal icon. ifonzIconNumber is the positionnumber of the icon counted from left to right,up to down.First Icon has Nr 0. For the bottomicons start counting with the first buttombaricon. Set ifonzPageNumber(1..X) to the page the icon should be(not nescessairy for BottomIcons
What does the script(iFonzForecastdo.mscr) do:
It changes 4 selectable Icons to show Forecast for day 2, 3, 4 and 5(Day 1 is shown by ifonzWeather.mscr). It saves the original Icons with all data, and restores them when script is started again. By setting iFonzOpenYahoo=2 in iFonzweather.mscr it will be started by pressing the Mainicon or any of the other forecasticons
What you can change (works without changes)in script(iFonzForecast.mscr) :
# iFonz variables to change
# -------------------------
# iFonzPixPath(path to icons): to use s2u2 icons set "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
# iFonzWNA(WeatherPic if not available: to use s2u2icons set "0" else "na"
iFonzWNA = "0"
# Choose first Icon to use out of four to show forecast
# iFonzBottomIcon(True = BottonIcon/False = NormalIcon)
# ifonzIconNumber(0..X)
# ifonzPageNumber(1..X)not needed if bottomicon
iFonzBottomIcon = false
ifonzIconNumber = 4
ifonzPageNumber = 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
iFonzPixPath and iFonzWNA should get the same values as in iFonzWeather.mscr.
Selecting the first of the 4 replaced icons, works like in FonzWeather.mscr. The values should not be the same like in iFonzWeather.mscr because you would otherwise only see Day 2-5, because you replaced the Mainweathericon, showing actual day.

So, this was a long Post. Sounds difficult, but is indeed quite easy. I hope you like it.
Any feedback by now ??? Wishes ??? Problems ??? Questions ??? Chage requests ???
Thanks Sid-Shrunk, it was the missed part on iFonz
Excellent work, i played arround a little bit with some weather Icons, if anyone likes that how about this with Day and Night Background (just a really first test in 96x96, on the fake screenshot in 52x52):

the preview icons look realy good. Especially playing with night and day should be interesting.
By the way, if you plan to do more pix, do you already have a table with the conditions belonging to the weathercodes?
yes, i think the codes/numbers are correct you see 36,39 and 33 from left to right, but please check it.
EDIT: Okay i checked it with your Icons, seems its okay. The other question is the size, i prefer 52 but i think the most like to use 48 Pixel for qvga. For the weather graphics itself i use Rumball`s Set (or the Set Rumball uses for manila weather panel, who knows ?), but i think i PM him first before doing this.
I did not mean thy are wrong, I just thought you could be interested in the link to YahooWeather that shows the exact description of condition to a code.
There you can see the exact diffrences between a bit/normal/heavy rain ....
For the pictures I've done I've just changed the icons coming with S2U2, and compared the missing icons with other available sets.
I forgot: For the size I think it would be best if it fits to the rest of your iconset, but that's you descision. I use 48, but I use a frame for every icon I use, so I had to modify anyway.
it`s okay the yahoo description and the graphics are right: 41 (heavy snow) and 37: So i think i will post a set for your application on the next few days on my icons thread.. (Just thinking about a cleaner background like on the second icon). Thanks for this app man !
Sounds great man, I like the smooth look of you new iconset.
The backgroundproblem in iFonz with transparency, is the Reason, why I modified all my icons with a metalic border So I can use any background now.

These are really nice icons and they go nicely with your realize icons which i use, i like that and i am interested
thank you claus
@sid: yes bmps and transparency, always a Problem on ppcs, i for myself went back to a black background, now my Icons look smooth. okay i post here again when the set is ready with a link (weekend)
Bluemetalmax,
Weather icons look up to your usual high standard. Would love a set in VGA. Is this possible?
blue those weather icons would be sweet.
icons, also in vga will come.
@Sid: i can't get this to run. installed mortscript, modified your file but i get allways no data (also not with Rosenheim) It just shows the correct s2u2 icon(NA) ?
i set the update now to 2 minutes but it seems it doesen't connect to internet at all.
Hey i would use this as it looks great, but sadly, ifonz is too slow for me on my diamond, too jumpy, and the settings screen is jerky and slow. Its just not a pleasant experiance using ifonz.
Of course, i cannot "do better" so, just my own opinion.
okay ifonz setting screen is slow as hell, but who cares, its just for the Settings.
But i don`t think that ifonz is slow, ecspecially the new Version is really fast, and i´m using just a Polaris.
You should wait about one Minute when starting ifionz the first time then it runnes really smooth.
Anyway, my weathericons for SIDs App are ready (96 Pixel VGA PNGs). Now i must do ifonz icons out of this.
i made four different backgounds (Day, Day-snow,Night, Night-Snow)

Sorry I answer so late,
I will look for your problem when im Home this afternon. Also I will post a small description of the errormanagement of the script.
launching app
Hi! this is a great application, it is all I missed on iFonz. It would be great if one could launch the weather panel by bluemetalaxe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&page=6). I am a newbie and I dunno how to do it. Any suggestions?
Mart,
PS: BTW the weather icons do not update if you have a non-English device and you put them in a non-root directory. I tried with S2U2 icons and WEATHERpix putting them on \Archivos de programa\ and didn't work, putting them on \WEATHERpix fixed things.
Errorhandling of iFonzWeather
This is a short info about errormanagement of IFonzweather.
When started it checks, if internetconnection is available(Tries if google.com can be reached). If not available it waits 10 seconds and tries again(if connection is available, but breaking while trying to download, it will resart after the setup time).
1. Possibility(Everythig works):
-> Correct actual weathericon will be shown, Temperatures will be shown like "9°(12°/7°)" and forecast will be saved in registry for 5 Days (HKCU\Software\Sid-Shrunk\Weather\...).​
2. Possibility(Data is downloaded but theres an error in the Data)...
2a. ...and there is a forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon will be changed to Icon of saved forcast for actual day. Temp will be shown like "Err(12°/7°)" (Error but forecast available).
2b. ...and there is no forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon NA will be shown. Temp will be shown like "DataErr"(Error and forecast not available).​
3 Possibility(Connection could not be established) ...
2a. ...and here is a forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon will be changed to Icon of saved forcast for actual day. Temp will be shown like "N/A(12°/7°)" (no Connection but forecast available).
2b. ...and here is no forecast saved in registry for actual Day:
-> Icon NA will be shown. Temp will be shown like "NoData"(Error and forecast not available).​
As I've no dataflatrate, I've deactivated dataconnection via Provider and only use wlan or connection via activesync.
This tool uses available connections, so I think it may not connect to your provider on it's own. But it should use the connection if you've activated it(I've not checked this). May be some of you could post your experiences with this.
@bluemetalaxe: Does it work by now ? If not, what connections have you tried, what language does your device use? If not perhaps you could send me a copy of your modified mort.
PS: The pic look fantastic

Hi MartCronos,
I use an non english device too, and it works for me. Have you changed iFonzPixPath = "\program files\s2u2\gfx\weather\" to the correct and full path ?
for me it was iFonzPixPath = "\programme\s2u2\gfx\weather\"
for you it should be iFonzPixPath = "\Archivos de programa\s2u2\gfx\weather\" (if this is how programs folder is called on your device)

Seems to be a great new use for our M2D, especially if I can use it with a today flash plugin...
Unfortunately cant get it running on my Manila 2D v2.0 build 19191432.

Twolf try this make some icons for the tv tab in manila then run M2Dtp config
M2D Widget select TV , then in the red at bottom press and hold select add plugin, choose your plugin select apply, then menu exit .
Now go back to programs and run M2DTP_loader and it will work
I posted some TV tab icons here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5158136&postcount=1918
Thanks dan_ru great addition to Manila
great. let me know when we find a tv app that will work.

Look like some values are missed in your registry. Take a look at "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Device Lock\" and check presense of value "Type" (DWORD). It must be = 4.
Then - create only one window and try different plugins one by one.
It worked....
Thank you very much.
The operator tab was one of the problems, then some plugins cant run for some reason, the first configuration isnt easy, but its worth it...
As you can see here I was able to enable the TEMPUS plugin:
A few more changes and maybe we can even have W3D (animated weather) working...
I added a zip with my files, its just the original background from the latest M2D, the xml already with tv tab enabled and the home icons a little changed to look like a secondary home.
The plugins that worked so far: softick card export and tempus (throttle html by APBilbo)
The ones that didnt: Titanium, htc home, messaging, screen lock.

Plugins "Titanium" and "Htc home" do not work (because this plugins just launchers).
I've add it to the 1-st post.
"messaging" and "screen lock" must work. Attach registry from "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\" - I'll check it.
Well, to be quite honest I only wanted a flash plugin embbeded on M2D, with it I can try to make a hole new m2d tab.
I was able to stretch the throttlehtml plugin to accept 240x200 flash files and thats almost all the space available (240x230 being the full space)...
A couple of bugs, sometimes after a reset, the TV tab would freeze my machine, for some reason.
And theres no "M2DTP loader" shortcut on the start menu, I had to make my own.
This app is great!
Thanks.
how abt this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD79FXdvmEQ
Btw, I think its even possible to recreate some Titanium plugins or even the Flash gadgets from Throttle:
It would be a mixture of flash and mortscript though, because saddly theres no existing flash plugin that can read registry or run files...
Flash can read simple txt files with variables inside, and mortcript can write those files with on-the-fly registry values, and with the color codes work-around I can even make flash run some pre-selected apps.
But the fact that the device is running M2D, flash and mortscript (to keep updating the variables) all at the same time, would definitely be a battery-hog...
Did a small test with the calendar:
If you press or swipe the sides of the calendar the month changes with a animation.
To use it, simply install and configure M2DTP to use the zipped altered version of the throttlehtml plugin with a black background (also in the zip).
Its already ready to run english (by default) or portuguese, any other language can be changed simply by translating the attached txt file and replacing it on the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder.
---EDIT---
Made a few changes to make a skin for the latest M2D:
Just replace the files on the attached m2d_2.0_skin.zip onto the \Windows\ThrottleHTML folder and reload the plugin.
Been hoping someone would develop an app for this - great work thank you. Starting to mess now! I think we can see from Twolfs efforts already we're going to have some smart M2D tabs very shortly!
Added an updated version of the calendar onto a new thread, not to crowd this one...

Rumball Diamond Weather - Weather Panel
Hey dan_ru
This is working with the diamond animated weather by Rumball using the Weather Panel plug-in.
The icon sets and setup files are on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
M2Dtp settings are:
X = 0
Y = 25
W = 240
H = 199
Using the existing weather tab.
In Weather Panel the Layout must be set to Manila.wpl to fit the screen.
It looks fantastic – looking forward to messing more with it. Would be great if we can suss out how to edit the individual tab softkeys…..
Question:
1) When the weather icon is ‘pushed’ it still shows the previous manila weather screen in the background – does your app just overlay the existing functions?

I don't know if this is an issue initially setting Weather Panel up in M2D - I originally went through the set up using the Second Today plug-in.... You could try setting it up in there and then see if it appears in Manila ok after....? Maybe the layout settings I posted initially cover up the 'ok' option...? I'm guessing though..

thanks but it did not help. i also tried setting it up as a plugin on today by itself and i cannot for the life of me get back out of any option screen after going into it. im thinking it might be 6.5.1 bottom taskbar bug? mabye i didnt install it right. mabye i can setup my city and theme through registry?
i installed the program to the device memory and over right the dll. then i put the fonts in the windows font foldr. then i put the weather panel folder on the storagecard root. is that right

Hello,
Your program is very interesting, but I can not use just one problem you encounter, and it is important: only lets you open documents in the folder "my documents" in the main memory device. You should modify the program to allow open and save files in any folder on the device memory and the external memory card.
I have not tested whether extensions can also be associated with your program to automatically open when clicking those files from the file explorer program.
If I could use it widely, as I need, I would donate a sum of money for it, in that there is a problem.
Sincerely,

Hello,
True, I had not noticed having to click twice (or press "enter") to run this option to access all folders on the device.
What if I notice that you can not open large files, not size, but more than 100 KB can not be with them.
Nor could I see if you can associate text files "txt" to open this program directly from file explorer.
Sincerely,
Hello,
I've been testing the program further NotepadWS, which I consider a good application, but there are two problems with it:
I have seen two important issues that prevent me from replacing AgileNotesTouch, which is what I use now, for NotepadWS:
1 .- NotepadWS not allow it to associate with files by extension, to boot automatically with this application. For example, if you associate files "txt" with NotepadWS ... file does not start with "txt" open.
2 .- I do not know NotepadWS maximum size allowed, but a file of 100 KB or more does not open properly. AgileNotesTouch allows very large files sizes, without problems.
It is important that NotepadWS could solve these two problems.
Sincerely,

Hello Xdait,
Now he has been magnificent NotepadWS v2.5 program. Only one small detail I see in my device (VGA) and is the icon of your program in the file explorer leaves very large, so you see only a quarter of the icon ... only that detail.
I just made a donation through PayPal by using the program, as I indicated. I hope you get well.
Sincerely,
Looks interesting, just what i was looking for. Any chance for WQVGA in future?
Thank you a lot JCM!
2.5 -> 2.51
- Now app memorizes the folder of last file used for the next launch
- File shortcuts list added, to open registered files with just one click
QVGA version, probably i will do it, but don't know exactly about the time i need
2.51 cab installer at first post

@xdaid, appreciate the effort you've put in to this app so far. It has a lot of promise.
I've been playing with it off and on since the 2.0 release. It has not replaced me using AgileNotes (which has its own set of issues for me) on a regular basis, but I look forward to the possibility.
Here are my suggestions and please note I understand you have a life and your own set of requirements when you code, so I know maybe none of these comments might be used...
1. if you can support PWI files
2. if you can handle files with carriage return + linefeed end of line terminator (eg, DOS, windows based text files). Right now, files with CR+LF show up as unprintable characters
3. if you can allow for a default file folder on startup. Use the file shortcut UI you just implemented and apply it to select default, and/or favorite folders. I see you've just implemented it to memorize the last used folder, that is a good start and should be retained unless a default folder is specified.
4. allow for a default file type (eg, TEXT, LOG, etc). Currently always defaults to TEXT when you restart the app.
5. suggest adding or putting an EXIT APP type selection/option in your "cmd" CLOSE action list. Right now it has "X" to only close the active tab, but you have to go to the MAIN MENU to exit the app. Just does not seem intuitive in my opinion.
6. allow the user to select a default background color, font size, and font color if possible (to override system defaults). I realize this suggestion may be difficult or out of scope.
Future wish list, knowing it would likely require extra effort as you may not have the development environment to test on:
a. support the newer WM 6.5.x layout with the STARTMENU and "X" button on the bottom of the screen, or at least detect you are running on the newer versions and keep that bottom bar accessible.
b. use a better file selection UI. Right now, at least on my device, you have to tap on the actual scroll bar to scroll. It should be smooth and fluid like some of the default file selection interfaces in AgileNotes or even Resco File Explorer.
c. allow similar option like Resco or Total Commander for double or single tap to open a directory or file in your selection UI.
Again, thank you for the time and effort you have invested in to this application thus far.

It's a quite-big update for NotepadWS, sure not all the stuff listed by powinmo but.. something has been done.
Hope you enjoy

@xdaid. Sweet! Did a quick test run, and seems you incorporated many of my suggestions. Nice work so far.
Only major concern right now is:
- allowing up/down scroll gestures in the file selection UI without actually having to tap directly on the scroll bars. Trying to do a scroll gesture typically selects the item your finger first lands on - basically seems the filename/directory listing of that UI reacts to single tap picking only.
Other than that, my left overs from my prior wish list post are still items:
(1) pwi support and (a) winmo 6.5.x UI support
Again those are not critical, just something for down the road - if even possible.
It's pretty close to being my daily editor and that's saying a lot. Keep up the great work.
Please re-download 2.55 cab installer
i forgot to include a small bug fix, now the cab is updated.
@ powinmo: scroll gesture in file selection UI should not be a problem, i will implement it soon.
Instead, pwi support could be quite hard to realize, i have some ideas about how
extract text from / save text to pwi files. Just ideas so far, but i can try..
regards
Thx for update works a treat

@xdaid - appreciate your continued work on the app! Looking forward to seeing that file selection UI more usable and closer to how others UIs act.
As for pwi support, I would put that priority at the very bottom and address any other items you feel are more important.
I do have one additional request after using your app a bit more now:
- add the ability to recognize a scroll up/down gesture versus highlighting text when editing. Right now, when you try to do that the editor strictly acts as if you want to mark text for an action (eg, copy, looking, etc). To scroll through a long document, you have to literally tap on the scroll bar versus the natural inclination of using a gesture.
Other than that, I'm almost sold on trying to the app as my regular editor. Thank you for being so receptive to user comments and suggestions!
For those who like to use the tab character to get fixed spaces / column alignment:
I added a 2.56 version, it's the same as 2.55 but tab character is enabled.

Hello Stefano,
I think your application becomes an application program is essential to our Windows Mobile devices. You've got an editor and text file reader very versatile and practical, ingenious solutions. Thanks for your good program.
Sincerely,
I've been looking for a nice notepad app for a while now, this looks pretty nice . Thanks for sharing!
I have a bit of a request: would you consider adding file 'scheme' functionality. Say you are looking a reg file, the 'scheme' would highlight certain predefined key words or phrases making it more readable. The same could then be true for .xml, .mscr or any other file that can be read by notepad. You think that would be doable?
