Guest drblow Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 :shock: Wow!! Thats fantastic!! :D But I'm a little confused? Have you created this plugin as well as the homescreen layout? I've never seen the plugin before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drblow Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 drblow: Yes, I've created this plugin :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excellent work fella! Is there any chance you could post the plugin as an install file of it's own? And is there any possibility of extending the use of it - it would be fantastic to be able to scroll through days in the calendar, and link it to the calendar application.

Guest luckyowner Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 drblow: Yes, I can provide cab install for this plugin. You can scroll through months of year (left right keys) and return to the current month by pressing the action key. Unfortunately, there are only three keys action available for screen plugin. I can add XML property to change action key behaviour (open calend app or return to current month), but a few days later. Of course, you can personalize this plugin view through XML layout correction of homescreen. You can: - change the weekday names (1-3 letters abbrev list) ( tag) - change month name view and position ( tag) - change year view and position ( tag) - change view and position of month cells ( tag) - you can set pos and view of weekday names using tag within - you can even add line delimeters for month cell ( tag within ) - view for selected and non selected state can be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 That's great! :D Do you plan to extend the functionality of the plugin? It would be absolutely amazing to combine the functions of your plugin with the scrolling appts plugin, for example, or even just display the next upcoming appt. But even the ability to use the action key to enter the calendar app would be good - but could the actual application be specified, ie opening papyrus/power calendar instead of the default?

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 @luckyowner Great! ;) So how would you call your plugin? This should be included to the Main Customisation Section. EDIT: Nice to see your homescreen/plugin at the Portal Section. Keep up the good work. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aim was to create a lightweight plugin that will show me the day of week and month layout to plan something. I think that I can append the tag to set up action button functionality few days later. That is you can manually set path to call application within XML layout. I've planned to implement appointment list feature, but later ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JLang Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) File Name :: My Calendar Homescreen Author :: luckyowner I like it! Have a couple comments though: Why does it arbitrarly change the time to 24hour instead of following the system setings for time (still set to AM/PM in my Regional Settings). It doesn't seem to do anything to show upcoming appointments, which I consider a lot more important then showing which profile is active (though I'd prefer to see both)... If those two things are fixed (plus maybe a way to show emails and SMSs when they arrive like the default screen does) I'd switch to this in a heartbeat!

Guest JLang Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I tried to add the things I'd asked about myself yesterday, but couldn't figure out how to modify the files in this thread with (Ruttensoft's) Homescreen Designer. Is there an easy way to do this, or there other versions of this homescreen with the things I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
