Works great on my P4300 (Wizard) with WM6.1 The only thing it is missing is support for storage cards. I can select where I save the files, but all options are on the device. I am a Linux user so this requires an extra step to copy them to the SD card so I can mount it and pull them off. Other than that, it is a great app!
Looks great, but do I need to extract this zip file from a PC? When I try & unzip it from my Tilt (using Resco File Explore '07) it says "Nothing to extract. Selection does not contain any files".
Thanks.

I used built-in compression in Vista to create the zip so maybe that is the problem. You can unzip on the PC and copy to your Tilt.
Thanks for trying it.

Thanks for giving it a try. I am working on adding the storage cards to the folder browse. Coming soon. I will update the first post when I have a new version.
anything for smartphones?
Very nice - great job!
@ oldsap
I cannot use a listbox on smartphones so not sure how I would implement the task list option. However, I would be glad to do a smartphone version if there is enough people that would use it.
@ Moe5508
Thanks for the kind words.
@ All
I'll have a new version next week that includes Storage cards for the Save folder. In the meantime, note that the box that has the Save folder is open to typing also. You can type a path there without using the browse feature. That should be a temporary fix to allow you to save your captures anywhere on the device.

Post #1 is updated with a new version that supports Storage Cards. I had to do this by brute force. My library woudl only return network folders so to get a storage card to appear in the folder browse it must have a name that starts with Storage Card. That should be the default anyway.
Hope it works for you.
Just tested it out and it works GREAT!! Thanks again for a wonderful app!!

Thanks for testing. I really want CapSure to be the best screen capture so I'll keep improving as long as there is interest. Everyone has been so great to test my app and the kind words are greatly appreciated. I've finally been able to give back to the community and I'm proud of the results.

Can't thank you enough for creating the cab. You're awesome.

We have many ROM for our Prophet. The problem is, we saw some of these programs available in some ROM and not in the other ROM. So, let we share these programs, tweaks and tips.
Dutty Explorer
I am starting with Dutty Explorer, based on GSFinder+, a very good replacement to default File Explorer (even with extensions like Spb Plus and HouMing File Explore Extension), plus latest version of gsgetfile.dll compatible with WM6.
We have Resco Explorer but not Freeware. Total Commander CE is good, but not the interface.

SQPC is a program (MULTI-PURPOSE TOP MENU BAR) that as old as my age.....
But, flexible that you can alter it anyway you like, the main reason why I had it kept as personally I love that one tap finish actions too much, like copy, paste, input selector, soft-keyboard pop up.........
Goodness:-
1. SWAPPABLE TOP BAR with any Length / Programmable / Executable Icon you like,
2. Clipboard 10 history too easy to use ( very very good for my study use),
3. Clock and Calendar on the screen is plug-ins,
4. left side program shortcuts,
5. any back ground images, automatic rotate selectable,
6. single tap actions for any programs / files....
7. Less than 300 KB in file size........
Weakness:-
1. Too many functions for juniors, ( for me, just a junior user, I had explored its 50% of features only.... there are more advance feartures like to call out parameters......)
2. UI is not too fancy~~~
I would like to share the .ini file of it so everyone can give it a try.
PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU HAD THE SQPC.rar.zip changed to SQPC.rar before unzip.
Thanks for all of yours attention. Please correct me if I am wrong !

Hi, nice weather
can u tell me where i get
Requires: http.dll, formlib.dll, FilesEx.dll
also need: .NET3.5 and NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab
hope can add few features:
WIND <- this one pls
RealFeel <-this one no rush
Presure & ETC
really nice, how about an addition for maps, just the like marsware's weather panel if you've ever used it, there they ask for the URL of the map image and they just keep fetching it.
Doesent work:Error Loading Program
Pocket Weather is the commercial name of SBSH's app....
You'd better find another name for this soft...
Why not :
Pocket Hurricane
Pocket Forecast
TTWWY : Take The Weather With You
TTWWU : Take The Weather With U
T2W2U : Same, but more like modern apps... A_C
Hope this will help...

If we already have Marsware that doesn't need NET CF3.5, why not just keep this one nice and simple.
Once youo start adding features galore it just get too resource hungry (memory!)

Sorry about that - I did not use the correct compiler options when compiling to the Pocket PC platform. I have recompiled and the DLLs were merged into the executable.
I will have to troubleshoot the CF3.5 - I didn't target that framework so it should not asking for that. It may be related to the missing DLLs issue, since both require the B4PPC compiler to use "optimized" options.
I have re-uploaded into post #1 - thanks for testing.

Thanks! I like "Pocket Forecast" and will use that (if it's not in use already). I wrote a wiki application called "Pocket Wiki" so I wanted to stick with the same naming convention.
I don't want to use any application names similar to the great programs A_C writes. I'm not worthy.

I uninstalled Microsoft CF3.5 on my PDA and ran the updated ppcWeather (11/14/08 v.18) - it works for me. That said, applications seem to always work on the developer's systems all the time so that isn't much of a test.
Could you please retest with the updated version?
Thanks to everyone for their help and feedback.

Thanks for catching that.
I just tested that and that seems to be a new bug after I recompiled with the "optimized settings" - I am not sure what is causing this because the desktop version doesn't do this. Same code, different target environments.
The weather.ini settings themeDir, httpTimeout, and refreshInterval are getting blanked, but the location ids are not. This is strange...
I am going to have to check with the Basic4ppc support team to see why this is doing this.
Now i got zip code working need some setting
need Theme [default]
but still no icon
LOL need move \theme\default\condition folder out to \theme\
should work like charm and also the theme.ini i dont is that cause
your new Version works now

The code is reading a form textbox variable for the settings that were getting blanked out - I'm not sure why some are ok and others are not. As a work-around, I added code to check to see that there is a value for the form textbox before saving it. Uploaded v.19 and am pursuing this on the B4PPC forums.
Thanks for the testing and feedback!

- Always go 2 internet then started (why not remember old weather info?)
- Weather details - CURRENT: the inscription "sunrise :..." - incorrect view
- Not work skin color
- In the absence of weather is not an icon (you can put NA icon frommy pack ...)
Feature need:
- Fast switching between the cities of (right-left d-pad, for example)
- Choose to update weather for all or update for concrete city
- Link to Web with a list of cities (GOOGLE helps you) =)
- need radiobutto "DO NOT update on start"
- need option - update when you connect to PC via AS
- In the skins add the ability to install jpeg instead background and buttons
- at weather.exe change icon or name of file (like "Wsynk") for difference with main file.

Here is a free, open source, wallpaper changer. The screenshots explain what the program can do.
Note: If a phone call is in progress, the wallpaper is not changed (because it takes a number of seconds to change it).
Download. Simply copy it on your Windows Mobile 6 device and run it. (Works on my Polaris.)

Works great, thank you very much.
I'll try it on my Samsung Omnia If I get it right, this app will finally let me set pictures that are smaller/bigger than my sreen with resizing them to the screen size?
THANKs
.
Awesome!! does it work for wm5? .. dont say 6 only
It should work on Windows Mobile 5 (I haven't tried the latest version), but you first have to install .Net Compact Framework 2 from Microsoft: here.
Windows 6.5 Wallpaper
A good place to get wallpapers is FFFFound.com
Here is the wallpaper that I'm using
http://ffffound.com/image/1833eeacd07acf07502260ed70c5be62af6f9185
Cool...good job!
Cool works great.
It would be awesome if it had a "silent" mode without gui and the wallpaper given by parameters for scripting use.
i.e.
wallperizermob.exe -silent -changeto "/Wallpapers/mywalpaper.jpg"
I know it´s open source but I´m not able to code/compile this feature
Version 1.4.4 works on Windows Mobile 6.5. (Or any other OS where the system's wallpaper files were marked as read-only.)

That is nice, and I'm loving your app! It was quite slow at changing wallpaper at first, but I unchecked all fades/normalizes/sosoes and now it does change pretty fast. Any chance you could add:
a "random picture" setting (not to have it change in alphatbetical order, that is);
shorter change intervals (like 15 mins and 5 mins);
"Load at phone startup" option (I know I can place a shortcut in the windows/startup folder, but I think this is way cooler and can easily be undone!);
And maybe even cab the exe up and get a custom icon?
So far it's the best automatic wallpaper changer for 6.5 Titanium interface!
EDIT: as you can see from my screenshots, looks like we have a couple of glitches... in today screen, bottombar gets funky (looks like it replicates upper taskbar, don't think it should...) and in start menu background remains the one it was there at boot (it changes only after a soft-reset). Think you can sort that out?

I didn't add those settings because the user would have to start the phone too often to see the wallpaper changing. I guess some people might do that just to see a new picture. Also note that this would consume more battery. I'll add these too.

The programming framework doesn't have a way to do that. It could be done but I don't know how much work that would involve... and the development of the program is frozen.

I didn't make a cab because I like my programs on the SD card, being able to run without being installed, so that no matter how many times I hard-reset the device, I will still have the programs ready to run (I don't have to install any program ever again).

The wallpaper pictures are shorter on purpose (and so the OS tiles them vertically). Normally, the today bars are opaque and stretching pictures on the entire screen area would cover a significant part of the pictures; this doesn't matter on a desktop computer, but a PDA's screen is too small (relative to the bars). For now this will remain unchanged.
teorouge said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did that on purpose (but it should not display any kind of picture, or the skin's default picture, as it happens in WM 6.1). On WM 6.1, the today menu doesn't cover the entire screen and when it's opened, if it were to display the same picture as the screen, it would look as if the menu doesn't end anywhere. That's a weird feeling. We'll see how WM 7 will display it's today menu.
Version 1.4.5 is up.
In the "Various" tab there is a check-box to use a random picture.
The background picture of the start menu is changed on my WM 6.1, but only if TouchFlo is not running (I don't know why TouchFlo is not using it).
I have a problem.. not with our program, but with one that we e been trying to fix with roryB on a different thread:
the idea is that the wallpaper would change baed onthe regitry of htc home or manila weather panel and use e riginal weather graphics. there are 40 files in all and they are png's located in windows. we have been able to get mortscrip to change the reg but not the wallpaper.
It has do do the folowing:
1. watch the regitry for changes to the weather update
(the registry updates when you go to the weather panel and it auto updates)
2. based on the updated registry change the wallpaper to HH_WEATHER_##.png
3. refresh the wallpaper on the today screen.
it would be fine if the program copied the image and saved it n a different format such as jpg or gif; howver due to the large filecount t can not have the all 40 weather graphics in a separate folder or have duplicates. that would cost too much space.
RoryB is uing manila 1.5 (update 23) I am uing the mega manila which requres the media package to be able to set the today walpaper... however can be set via the file explorer or any other program for that matter. it does not allow to use the walpaper from the tsk.
my question is: what exactly does your program do tochange the wallpaper?
does it copy the file and rename it?
what actually sets the walpaper and refreshes it?
how can we replicate thi process and make it work?
If you could please let me know via pm or email? please.
Thank you so much, very appreciated!

You can look at the source code, in file "HaraWork \ SourceCode_VS \ Wallperizer \ Wallperizer \ MainForm.cs", the "void SetNativeWallpaper" method.
There are lots of steps and they have to be followed exactly, or else either Windows Today or Manila do not show the wallpaper. Just as an example, Manila refuses to show the wallpaper if the "HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Today \ Wall" registry key is not set with whatever text.
By the way, I don't think PNGs are supported by the OS. You must copy the wallpaper in the "Windows" directory as BMP or JPEG (GIF works too). Note that the file name is specific, you can't use anything you want; "tdywater_[screen width]_[screen height]" is the name. The file name is created in the "string GetWallpaperFileName" method.
(Be sure to remove the read-only attribute of the "tdywater" / "stwater" files before you try to overwrite them.)

Make sure you download the latest version (1.4.5).
Click on the "Wallpaper information" button and see "Loaded pictures". If it says "0" then the program failed to either load the pictures or failed to set any of them as wallpaper (if this happens, they are cleared from the internal queue).
(You could manually set a wallpaper in order to be sure it works on your PDA.)
Version 1.4.7
* Added command line parameters.
* Check the "Portrait and landscape" check-box (from the "Various" tab) in order for the wallpaper to be set for both screen formats (= portrait and landscape). Note that this requires twice the processing time every time the wallpaper is changed.
NotepadWS ver 2.7
NotepadWS is a notepad-like application with TABS feature and some interesting tools such as the WEB SEARCH.
The Web Search (context menu) allows you to get google, wiki or dictionary contents about the word or text selected from NotepadWS,
it could be a good way to perform your search quickly and easily!
FEATURES
- Edit up to four different text files in the same session.
- Switch from one tab to another with just one click.
- Ability to add or remove tool bars at any time.
- Configure each tab separately.
- Online search of selected word or text; google search, wiki search, dictionary.
ver 2.0
- Open and Save dialogs totally redesigned to be more useful and finger-friendly
- Settings page added
ver 2.55
- File association works propely
- Max file size supported increased
- Word-wrap options added
- Copy and paste between different tabs added
- Cmd ExitAll added
- File and Folder Shortcuts feature added
- Start folder option added (if left blank, the folder of last file used is taken)

- Tab character enabled (by pressing tab button you get column alignment)
ver 2.57
- Overwrite related bug fixed
- Read-only related bug fixed
ver 2.7
- External clipboard functions added
tabs improved
Now NotepadWS allows to configure and save the properties of each tab,
so you can have 4 tabs completely different one from another;
each tab has its own font type, size, style and color, background color,
start folder and other properties you can configure through the settings page.
Instead, if you prefer to configure all the tabs in the same way, you don't need
the repeat the setup more times, just setup one and check "apply to all tabs"
in the settings page.
Requirements
- Windows Mobile 5.0 or later
- Touchscreen device

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.

@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?
uTask v1.4
Author: ultrashot
Compatibility: only Windows Mobile 6.5.3. Any resolution is supported, but I haven't checked this program on any resolution except WVGA.
Functions:
1) Reassignment of virtual keys such as "Windows" and "X"
Supported actions:
Standard action
Launch *.exe
Minimize current program
Close current program
Show start menu
2) Task Manager icon on "Today" screen.
You can assign any task manager to this button. Later I will make my own interface.
3) Position Fix for old windows.
Attention! Some applications can work in unexpected way with positionfix enabled. They should be added into exceptions list!
Exception list supports masks. For example, if you enter "SPBWEATHER*", all window classes starting with "SPBWEATHER" will be excluded.
Also there is a confurator inside.
The most evident difference from any existing programs is IMMEDIATE reaction to new windows. No timers and unneeded calculations at all. uTask is very battery-friendly because of that.
Available translations: russian, english, german, french, italian (thanks to translators!)
Changes in v1.4 (release: 29.06.11, compilation date: 17.06.11):
-added classes list
-minor changes
Changes in v1.4 (26-Mar-11):
-fixed HVGA display detection.
Changes in v1.4:
-better today button behaviour.
-auto-resize of incorrect button images.
-bugfixes (bug with few HTCMenus versions, bug with EzInput on some devices)
-installer now shows error message if you try to install uTask on unsupported OS. Then, if system refuses to run after utask installation, try to start your phone two or three times. Perhaps, autodiagnostic system will disable utask. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't make a system backup.
Changes in v1.3:
-more accurate vibration
-increased timeout for clock hook
-ability to *.lnk in configurator
-little changes.
Changes in v1.2:
-some fixes for position fix
-configtool fixes
-stability improvement
-auto detector of problematic apps - seems like exception list is useless at the moment.
-taskbar clock hook - clock will have the same as home key function
-implemented internal size\position cache... should work better for all, especially HVGA devices.
Changes in v1.1:
-added immediate position fix.
-fixed all found bugs.
-added special menu for toolbars (hold finger on old-style toolbars and you'll get an action menu).
-added "Open start menu" action.
-SIP position fix (works for Swype, for example)
-support for two softkeys HDMini-like mode.
-settings were moved to new subkey called "Settings" - attention, chiefs!
Make a system backup before installing! I don't take any responsibility for any damage to phone or data on it.
If you didn't read this label, or you aren't able to read at all, that's your problem
About adding this program to custom roms:
If you feel that everything works as expected - feel free to use it in your custom ROM. If not - post a comment about bugs.
Is there any difference to the xTask? Because you are using the xTask icon.

uTask is a totally different program without any junk and without battery-eating timers.
Looks a very interesting application.
I'm going to test it with HD2 Artemis v.42.
Thanks!
Tested with Artemis HD2 v42.0
It is working flawlessly with every soft key assignment!!!
The only bug I found is the icon of it, it is cutted in the right edge.
jolas, give me your theme and I'll fix it.
overall the app works. For whatever task mgr you use, make sure you put it into the exceptions list (otherwise arkswitch worked once, then errored).
I cannot get the windows long press or the home long press to do anything on my hd2. It doesn't error, it vibrates, but doesn't execute the .exe selected, tried a few of them.
edit: it works for some .exe's and not for others. Overall a very nice 1.0 program.
Here is the theme I use and the softkeys images too
Thanks!
jolas, please, attach all images for further testing.
I see softkeys have not standard size, that's why they are drawn incorrectly.

Two HD2 owners (Korand and AndrewSh) tested it, one with SE X2 (eugene38 from 4pda.ru) and me with SE X1. No issues with long presses. Are you sure you saved settings (silly question, but who knows)?

It's not an HTC's Connection Manager, it's system service with no GUI.
You've just been wrong with the selected filename
You need to choose "CommManager.exe"

Problem solved
ultrashot, I figured out that the problem was originated by the button images I used in my theme (as you said, the size was incorrect).
I changed the size to the original's button size, and now everything is looking perfect!!!
Thank you for this great application!
