Guest w411y Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 For the MMS you need to insert a tag first And for the MRU issue, this is done via a registry tweak :)
Guest prk72 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 For the MMS you need to insert a tag first And for the MRU issue, this is done via a registry tweak :) So I would do something like: <plugin clsid="{8486CC1E-025B-4888-9C76-048DF7C1787D}" name="msgcount2" height="25" autoheight="false"> <text padding-left="10" padding-bottom="5"/> <background> <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/> </background> <label>0</label><mail account="others"/> </plugin> ? I have never tweaked the registry, can you give me a clue as to how? Thanks for the help.
Guest w411y Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) Example of a label... <label y="38" x="105"> <format state="selected" halign="left" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#000000" font-weight="bold" font-size="16" /> <format state="unselected" halign="left" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#000000" font-weight="normal" font-size="16" /> <text>M@il:0<unreadMMS/></text> </label> Insert that into where you attempted it.

Guest kublid Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Looking forward to seeing it :) don't know how to take a screen shot. :)
Guest w411y Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 There's a few ways. You can connect to Active Sync and use Active Sync Remote Display that comes with the Windows Power Tools. You could also use the freeware SmartSS GPCarreon made a little tool also.. http://www.gpcarreon.com/?p=379 (Requires Active Sync Remote Display)
Guest dishe Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 You might be able to solve your problem by a registry change: HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread. There change SMS (0) to blank and see if that helps. Yes, this works, but only until I get a text message. Then it tells me I have 1 new SMS, which I can check in the usual fashion. After that, however, it seems to "reinsert" the SMS (0) string into the registry. So, it would seem to only be a temporary fix. There has got to be a setting somewhere to tell it not to do that, but I haven't the slightest idea where to find it. :) I would also like to make my email inbox appear out there, preferably instead of the SMS, and click it to go straight into the inbox. I found that if I copy the SMS (0) string out of the registry at sms\unread and paste it into the 'other' inbox key (replacing SMS with the word POP3), it will show up on the homescreen. But once again, this is only a temporary fix, since as soon as I get a new message, the registry keys are all reset.
Guest sparky99 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 What a freakin' great tutorial. Thanks w411y! I've used it to get me nearly all the way home. I'm having a little problem with the calendar that I cannot seem to work myself out of. I would like to have the calendar show the next two items in my schedule. I've followed the indstructions on how to do that, but I keep getting a repeat of the same item. I'm using the .xml from Omega One Battery Pack Pro, on a T-Mobile SDA with WinMobile5 This is the code I'm using: CALENDAR I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but cannot for the life of me figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Guest w411y Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 Hmm i woulda thought that would work :) Things is, whenever I want to display more than one appointment, I use the plugin Facade so I'm not sure if it's possible using the standard plugin ;)

Hoped you might be able to fix. O' well. I'm thinking about the facade plugin myself, but really like my current layout. Do you know if there is a way to plug facade into another homescreen...say the battery pack pro xml? If so, I would be greatly appreciative of what that code might look like. Thanks!
Guest kelv23 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Im getting ready to have a crack at this for a C600 WM5. Is there anything critical I should know before I start? Ive got Dreamweaver 8 to play around with if thats got any use Edited July 18, 2006 by kelv23
Guest w411y Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 I havn't played on Dreamweaver but as far as I know its used to make websites? If you can use it as a text editor then carry on I suppose. Just make sure you save your file as *.home.xml Please note theres also an updated tutorial here: http://www.modaco.com/Homescreen-guide-for...rs-t236832.html It also includes a plugin resource of all standard plugins :)

Guest kelv23 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Something tragic must have happened with another app. My phone froze and ended up with a hard reset.
Guest w411y Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) You didn't have at the start for starters ;) This is wierd... with all the fiddling and stuff I've done I've never ha to hard reset from playin with homescreens. I hope it doesn't put you off in the future. Before putting it on your phone, open it up in Internet Explorer on your PC and if there is anything wrong with the XML it will tell you :) If there's nothing wrong with it, it will display the whole text and make a nice bleepy sound (Trust me, that 'bleep' can sound pretty good at times :D ) Edited July 18, 2006 by w411y
