Guest midnight Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 devinh, ive made it so it doesnt auto-refresh, so should only grab more html (thus costing more) if you so wish, and of course it costs nothing if on pass-through, or free gprs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickcornaglia Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 What does: "Utilitising a special runtime version of the Exclusive MoDaCo Plus plugin 'RJHTML' by RemyJ" mean???? I like the color scheme, though some programs like SmartExplorer look funny. I love the functionality of the homescreen layout...though I'm not a huge fan of the MSN graphics. Why did you select that as the theme? Are you trying to make a sale to Microsoft? (read as encece being curious, not sarchastic). Anyway...extremely well done, especially on the backend data that you provide. I hope I can eventually learn to play with RSS & php so that I could provide myself some customized options in the future. I glad you guys developed the plugin. It's sure to pave way to an exciting path for future homescreens....when more people have it in their hands. I look forward to future skins from you. Has anyone considered combining this with the Orange Plugin on the e200s? Would that may open more layout possibilities. I may get alot of flack for this...but I dont totally agree that this should be a plugin that you can only get thru MoDaCo Plus. Anyone remember THIS THREAD??? Viva la MoDaCo for commissioning RemyJ to create this plugin! Viva la Midnight for taking the time to help develop ways to present it. I'm all for helping Modaco drive up subscriptions by offering extra value for the yearly fee. But plugins are plugins, no matter how innovative, and should be available to all Smartphone users whether they pay for a Modaco subscription or not. Sincerely, A proud ModacoPlus Member :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeta101 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Will the plugin be released on its own by remy for a small fee at some point btw? I remember this being announced in the modaco3 thread and its been a while already. (i cant afford £25, and it is an insane amount to pay for a plugin, since none of the other modaco plus benifits are of any use to me really :D) ill enjoy checking out the innovation of the plugin, but i dont think this is a homescreen id use, dont like the "msn-ness" of it, im sure a lot of people will like it though :D good work midnight (and remy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 it's done as MSN because of the buddy list implementation and because we wanted to show MS what they should be doing as standard in Windows Mobile phones, call it a 'wake up call' if you like. Encence, if there are no plus only benefits, whats the point of Plus :D I have actually suggested maybe a version for the public with cut down functionality (say only 3 html pages in the plugin, and only one instance of the plugin available on screen?)

Encence, if there are no plus only benefits, whats the point of Plus :D I have actually suggested maybe a version for the public with cut down functionality (say only 3 html pages in the plugin, and only one instance of the plugin available on screen?) Well, I think this is great!! As a plus member, I've had the MSN beta homescreen & RJhtml plugin for a while, and it is an amazing new addition to the homescreen. The fact that there is a cut down version now available to everybody is an excellent idea. I agree with encece in principle, and I was one of those not in favour of the clock plugin which had to be paid for (I think it is fairly indicative of people's take up of paid-for plugins that the clock plugin has never featured in any homescreens here), but it is absolutely the best way to offer a lesser version for free, and keep a special one as a plus benefit. That way I think everybody is catered for. Well done Midnight!! I have to agree 100% with the comments about microsoft - they SHOULD notice this, and they SHOULD feel it is a kick in the arse to produce standard homescreens that are dynamic & interesting. But then, it's fun for us to see how much better modaco can do thatn the people who own & write the actual software!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midnight Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 thats a simple one, the url's are encrypted, so no-one else can make their own homescreen with this version of the plugin :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmrecanize Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Kick@ss homescreen, however in the buddylist page, no people come up, just a blank screen with the messenger icon. Is there any way to insert contacts into it. Ive tried connecting to messenger through the .exe and then checking and still no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TANKERx Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I have actually suggested maybe a version for the public with cut down functionality (say only 3 html pages in the plugin, and only one instance of the plugin available on screen?) I'd buy that since I'm into simple, non-cluttered homescreens and one HTML element would do me just dandy. I could find a use for the HTML thing, but the cost of Plus doesn't justify me joining just for that and I can't be having all that MSN stuff on my screen even though this homescreen is very nice (I must consider my street cred ;-) ).

Guest prouti Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 We (french people) have some problems when we want to install this skin on our smartphone SPV 1 or SPV E200. You can see it here : http://www.mobinaute.com/mobinaute/article...222638#comments It seems that even if our smartphone are unlocked we can't install the unlocked version and the locked version can be installed but does'nt work.. Is there a way you can do something ? Actually if we want to install your skin on a unlocked E200 or not we have to copy some files (http://www.mobinaute.com/MSN.zip) in the MSN directory.. Can you do something for us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 jmrecanize, you need to add the buddies using the web interface, go to MSNHome favourite in PIE :D TANKERx, as explained, its to show MS what they should be having on the MS Smartphone by default :lol: Theres MoDaCo 3 homescreen for Plus members that also uses the RJHtml plugin and I will be doing more so watch out for those :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Demonico Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 It seems that even if our smartphone are unlocked we can't install the unlocked version and the locked version can be installed but does'nt work.. First of, this looks GREAT! And a very big thanks for releasing the limited version for all of the non-plussies :D I'm a Dane, and I have the exact same problem. The unlocked version apparently doesn't have sufficient rights. It WILL try to install, but comes up sayin' that installation failed because the program lacks system rights. I've got an unlocked SPV E200, and I've installed tons of other, unlocked programs. Any chance this could be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
