RJ Plugins updated, and a new one: RJTime

[Guest tom.ljungberg]

Sorry, but I'm totally lost here. I would like to have RJTime functioning on my Smartphone but I can't seem to. No matter what way I try to install it I won't get an Option RJTime under Settings/Home Screen. I once installed RJShort and I can see that option there but no RJTime. I use Smartphone 2003. What's wrong 'cause I really want the analog clock.

Remy - I've only just got around to looking at the bgimage stuff. Is it possible to apply the bgimage to selected vs. unselected states? i.e. I want to be able to apply a bgimage to the entire plugin to show when selected, & not when unselected.

I've tried ading format state "selected" etc, but can't get the plugin to recognise this.

The later versions of RJTime (and my other plugins as well) don't automatically install the homescreen anymore. They were cluttering up people's phones and annoying people who modified them directly instead of making copies. To install the RJTime sample homescreen, open a desktop explorer window in the directory where you unzipped the distribution, open the ActiveSync Explorer and navigate to StorageApplication DataHome, (I think it's "Storage" on sp2003) then drag rjtime.home.xml from into it. RJTime should now show in the Hoemscreen dialog.

I need to rework the XML guts of this plugin (we're talking RJShortcut right). It was my first and didn't have any text so I never added the more complex formatting stuff. I'll get this working in a few days along with the ability to have different images for when a specific shortcut is selected or not.

[Guest ksmit]

please help! none of the homescreen plugin works on my O2 XPhone (Windows 2003), including the alarm plugin (from other dev). i've tried on another same phone and also doesn't work. anybody knows why? and how can i make it work?

i've searched all over the net but none seems to have this same problem. :cry:

thanks so much,

Sorry m8 - I should've been specific. I'm talking about the TIME plugin!! :shock:

Ah, that's a whole other story...

This should work...

Can you give me a little more information about what exactly doesn't work? I don't have a way to to test on Sp2003 but it may be something simple.

Hmm ... probably me being stoopid, but I tried this ...

  <background b-border-width="0"></background>


  <action target=":MSCALENDAR"/>

        <format state="selected" bgimage="bgselected.bmp"/>

  <label x="4" y="0"><clock size="47" bgtext="transparent" fgcolor="#cccccc"/></label>


  <label font-face="neuropol" font-weight="bold" font-size="20" x="80" y="6" w="100"> 


  <timeString fgcolor="#cccccc" format="HH:mm "/> 


  </label> 


  <label font-face="neuropol" font-weight="bold" font-size="10" x="80" y="29" w="100"> 


  <dateString fgcolor="#444444" format="dd/MM/yy "/>  


  </label>

but aint no images happening!! :?

What am I doing wrong??

[Guest RemyJ]

You've got 2 top-level background elements. Only 1 is allowed so combine them.

<background b-border-width="0" bgimage="bgunselected.bmp"> 


   <format state="selected" bgimage="bgselected.bmp"/> 


</background>

doh! cheers remy, that works! Posted from my SmartPhone!

[Guest ksmit]

Can you give me a little more information about what exactly doesn't work? I don't have a way to to test on Sp2003 but it may be something simple.

none of the plugin shows up on the home-screen. other info that follows it (sms, schedule, network, MRU info) shift up to take it's place. i wish i can show u my screen but i don't know how to capture it.

so, has anyone confirm that they work on sp2003?

thx,

[Guest ksmit]

never mind. the file i download from kl1wdr web site did not work. i download the update one from ur site and it works fine now.

[Guest zeta101]

can someone tell me why the clock has annoying white bits on the hands? the hand colour is set to black, but there are still white bits (see screenshot). Heres the code im using:

and its definatly black because color_home text is set to black:

Thanks

RemyJ,

First off, thanks for the great plug-ins! They have really enhanced my use and enjoyment of the phone.

I have played with them and have them working very well except there is one program icon under the RJShortcut portion that I can't get to display on the home screen. When you use the action button on the ? icon on the home screen where the icon should be, the program launches (it's Fizz Weather), but the icon won't show (it does show up in the Start Menu). The section of the xml file is below. I've tried to figure how to point it do a different icon, but I seem to be too thick :roll: . Any suggestions you have would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Chris.

I can tell you. :D

It's the hand shadow. If you grab the new version you can set shadowcolor="transparent" in the element to turn it off.

I.E.

Glad they're working for you!

I just tried Fizz Weather and you're right, it doesn't display. Let me play with it a bit. I should be able to get it to work.

OK, Grab the new version from http://smartphone.peakin.com

I added a few bits of code to find those icons and it seems to work now.

Hi!

How exactly do i get the analog clock to display over a background pic? Ive tried to get my clock pic positioned where i want it, but it always sticks to the left. Must i format the pic to the width of the screen and have the clock positioned on the pic??

Thanks

Are you trying to specify a clock face or just a general background image for the plugin? If it's a clock face, make sure the image matches the clock size. I.E. if you set make sure "abc.bmp" is a 32x32 pixel image.

Can you post your XML and indicate which bit is causing trouble?

[Guest Exodia]

This is what i have now...

<!-- RJTime -->


<!-- The "height" attribute is required for this plugin -->


<plugin clsid="{AAEC6C66-F860-4513-8966-1FE9FA678987}" height="34">


   


   <image filename="IPSMApplication DataHomedx_osxclock.jpg"/>




   <label x="0" y="1"><clock size="32" bgimage="clock.jpg"


            fgcolor="#000000"/>


   </label>


      




</plugin>

That doesnt work at all though, the homescreen its used in gets mixed with the previous one, its all a bunch of crap right now. I had it working before but changed some stuff. I must admit, i dont have a clue as to what im doing.

[Guest Exodia]

Ok, ive managed to get it back to the way it was before.

This works, but the BG clock face is stuck to the left, and it wont move using align tags.

What am i doing wrong here?

Don't specify bgimage in the element. It's being drawn twice and that may be causing the display problem. Just use bgimage in and see what happens.

If that still doesn't work, attach your clock.jpg and if you can, a screenshot showing the problem and I'll try it.
