"SmartHome" S710 HomeScreen

[Guest Phrak]

Hey all,

I've redesigned one of my favourite homescreens for use with my S710 - SmartHome v4

It's a fairly simple screen for display, but it has all the info I need on the homescreen.

As far as I know there's no fancy DLLs needed to run. Just copy the XML file into your Applications\Home folder.

You might have to manually define your background image if you're not using the HTC branded device.

There's a also few additional *UNTESTED* features which have been disabled in the XML (commented out), like the Windows Live search bar, Alarm plugin, graphical WiFi status plugin and the SmartMonitor plugin (monitorplugin.dll needed). Feel free to play around to customise as you need.

Features:

Display CellBroadcast channel name. network dependant

Carrier, WiFi Status + Date/Time display

VOIP status - may require WM6VOIP.cab from XDADevelopers (google it)

Call Progress Display

10 icon MRU programs bar

Unread SMS, MMS, Email status

Missed calls display (hidden if no missed calls)

Display/Change Sound Profile

All Day Event Calendar Plugin - hidden if no all day event

Upcoming appointments & location plugin.

There's three things I know are issues with this plugin, and I'd love to have some feedback on how to fix them:

1. The VOIP "Internet Status" bar doesn't show as white when selected. I'm sure it's just an XML format tag I've missed somewhere:

<!-- VOIP Plugin -->

 <plugin clsid="{25997777-A9C7-4a44-AEA6-BE5EB0D97B81}" name="voip" height="25">

  <format state="selected" fgcolor="#FFFFFF"/>

  <label fgcolor="#FF9933" halign="center"><text singleline="true"><voip/></text></label>

 </plugin>

2. Likewise for the "Phone Profile" line - I'd like it to display the profile name in a different colour to the text "Profile: ", but have them both go white when selected.

3. Whenever the CellBroadcast location changes, the phone breaks it's screen-saver. Kind-of an annoying waste of battery.

Hit me back with any suggestions :rolleyes:

Tim.

It's missing the tag, see example below:

<plugin clsid="{25997777-A9C7-4a44-AEA6-BE5EB0D97B81}" name="voip" height="25">

  <background>

	<format state="selected" fgcolor="#FFFFFF"/>

  </background>

  <label>

	<text singleline="true"><voip/></text>

  </label>

</plugin>
