[REQ] Coloured Appointments on Calendar - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

i use the appointment option on the calendar all the time for shift swaps at work etc, i dont like the tiny grey triangle , is there any way to make the full block go a colour? or even the triangle a dif colour, it be great to be able to set different colours but even one colour be better than the grey triangle.
thanx for reading

Look at the posts of degake here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636062&page=2

When seeing the heading for this thread i must admit a spark of hope was lighted in me. My hope was to find a way to make color coding from using categories on appointments on desktop outlook 2007 show in preferably the sense calendar or even in the default windows mobile calendar. My assumption is that this is not an easy thing to accomplish. Or even possible? Anyone?

If colour coding according to categories is essential to you, then I'd suggest you look at alternative calendars, a number of them do that (I use Thumbcal, can't remember the names of the others though) - they all do a free trial so you can see which one would work best for you.

Thanks. I'll check out Thumbcal and maybe some alternatives. I wouldn't really say it's essential so I'll have to consider the drawback of having to get another calendar app versus the benefits of such a function. But now I'm more convinced that there is no fix to get color categories in the sense calendar. If anyone else has info otherwise I would be glad to hear about it though

Clock Icon that shows current time

We have an "intelligent icon", it is Calendar icon. Is has the capability of changing its picture, showing us the number of the current date, ok?
I am seeing my iPhone, and Calendar icons says "29".
Well, in that order of ideas, I think it could be possible to have an "clock icon" that shows the current time (in analog or digital way) with an automatic-minute-actualization.
Is it a crazy idea?
If not, who starts the development?

An icon is a bitmap - it has zero "intelligence" - it is just a picture.
The calendar icon on the iPhone is a background image with the date overlaid as a font or image.
And I would recommend XIAMultiTheme over rlToday. Compatible XML-wise, but far superior in feature set and much easier to use.
ok, I know rlToday
But I have an iPhone, and that program is only for Windows Mobile...
I shoud have mentioned that I was looking something like that, but for iPHone.
Thanks anyway.
(I have returned to Windows Mobile, I have bought a HTC Cruise because mi iPhone is not working well)
Posting on this forum asking for iPhone software is like like asking for Skoda tuning tips on a Ferrari forum - likely to get you flamed!
Seriously, put the iPhone to a proper use, like a door stop or a paper weight.

[REQ] M2D/TF2D Appointments Tab?

Hey everyone, thanks for reading.
One of the things I'd like to see is a (QVGA) appointments tab for M2D/TF2D.
I feel really limited when being able to see only 1 appointment at my home screen, but having a list on a different tab would solve this completely.
This is what I'd like to see, however, any kind of appointment-tab would be greatly appreciated. It could also be something for later versions
-Configurable ammount of appointments at the tab.
-Kinetic scrolling (like programs tab) if there're to much appointments listed to fit the screen
-Can be switched position on the 'tabs-bar' trough M2DC
-(Instructions on how to get) An icon for it that fit's your theme on the 'tabs-bar'
If someone could explain to me where to start, or if it's even possible, I'm willing to give it a try myself. However I've never done any coding for PPC before.
Thanks in advance!
i would love to see this too. i hate only seeing one upcoming appointment, i often forget what goes on in the whole day. i know that thumbcal is only one click away, but this is why we mod things: to make them easier to use!

text message background

can anyone be kind enough to tell me how i change the background when you click on the tabs (eg the background of the text message/calendar etc screens)
i want this sort of image (although in an ideal world would look less paint edited)

cheers...have searched but to no avail.
edit:i tried making a theme off of the winmo website but it didnt load up when i installed the cab
There currently isn't a solution for different backgrounds on different tabs. You can either have one for the home tab, or one for all of them.
Since touchflo has been around for quite some time and no-one's ever had different backgrounds on each tab, I don't expect to see it any time soon.
If you'd be interested at a background on all tabs, have a look at HDWall. Just be aware that you'll need to install the high quality cab (in the first post) in order to use cabs created with HDWall correctly.

Hope this helps

you could do this using the background for all tabs cab. use the wallpaper as your homescreen and you`ll see it on the other tabs too. if your wanting a homescreen wallpaper and this seperate for the other tabs i dont know how you would do that, someone on here will know. the background for all tabs is in the mods sticky top of this forum

Adding a gradient background on messages tab

Hi everyone!
I have just installed the tweak from the cab repository that allows your home tab background to be visible in all of the tabs... which I totally love!
The only problem is, if you choose a bright(ish) background, its very difficult to read a text message on the messages tab.
I was wondering, does anyone know of a way to add say, a PNG, that has a gradient/transparency fade behind the message text on the messages tab, as though it was a curtain kind of thing.
This would allow the background to show through, yet still allowing a message to be read!
Thanks for you help in advance. I'm pretty new to this all so I have not a clue about where to begin!
sat
that's a good idea, since i face the same problem
Or add an A4 paper behind the message, like in the email tab. That woul be really nice
if someone could make a mod that lets you add a gradient curtain thingy and wrap it up in a cab, I'm sure people will be willing to donate a few £s... I definitely would be.
transparent background on messaging tab makes sms, etc. unreadable
I have been working on this one for weeks now, I've been able to change a whole lot in manila except for this freakin' unreadable white text in the messaging tab, when you've got the transparent backgrounds enabled. Indeed it would be very nice to have like a curtain thing on this tab to properly show your messages
Issue is driving me
If there's someone that is able to do this or even help me along the way,
it would keep me from a mental breakdown (sleepless nights are killin'ya)

Hi Blee00,
Nice application, exactly what I was looking for. Only suggestion at this point that I would make is a brighter color for the icon. Being mostly black in color, it blends into the black notification bar on the HTC Evo and becomes difficult to see (might I suggest yellow with black strips in place of black with white strips?)
Looking forward to future updates and thanks for the great work.
Very good app! Works just the way it should, Just wrote an article about it for the XDA Front Page, should see it online over the weekend
Cheers,
CK
Works great! I'll fiddle with it over the next few days and see how stable it is on my phone.

That is planned for the next version
I was just so happy I managed to get the icon kinda good looking so now Im a bit afraid to fiddle around with it ^^
But I am gonna make something like an icon-picker so u can have different icons for different notes, also change the default icon.
Thanks for the response everyone =)
Great! I have tried several "Post-it" apps and they were all just too much. I'll see how this one works out for me, i love how simple it is.
Thanks!
Hi, I have been using your app for month now and it is my favorite for creating quick reminders or have things that I have a hard time remembering accessible.
If I may have a suggestion:
So far there is the option of having no notification icon or having one for each note.
Aside that having one for each does imo not really add any functionality, on low res devices this quickly fills up the notification area (Though I prefer it to no notification). I personally am all for choice, so I do not suggest taking away any existing features, but it would be a nice option for me to have a single icon with a small number indicating how many notes are stickied to the notification area at the moment. This would help people who do want to sticky lots of notes or who have a low resolution device.
(A different option would be to make it possible by an option to let notifications with the same icon stack.)
In any ways the app is really useful for me, 5*.
nice app! gave it 5 stars and an enthusiastic comment (look for hvoltage)
i do agree with the above poster regarding the color of the sticker. keep it simple or (if you'll fulfill all the requests) you'll end up with a new calendar app at least
thank you!
Awesome! This is just what I have been wanting!
AWESOME!!
i ve been looking for this type of apps for quite a long time for my daily to do list. Great job!!!5/5.....keep it up!!
I love simple apps that just do what they're supposed to. Thanks!
Also, I agree with Rendarion's suggestion about having an option to toggle multiple note icons in the notification area.
I suggest the next update include the ability to have web links in the title and comment fields. That would make this 6 out of 5 stars. Currently 4.5 in my book. Keep going with this, it will be a good one to have.
Thanks.

I second these suggestions about the icons!
Just saw this from the XDA front page. Great app! I've been wanting something like this for a while
Would love to see ability to add a new note from the taskbar
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Thanks for all the replies =)
So fun to see that people might enjoy and use the things I've created.
Other icons are coming, hopefully in the coming week. Im away this weekend so I cant work anything now, but Im soon home again and then I can start working! =)
Thanks for the post on the front-page of XDA-developers, doubled the downloads on one day, thats always nice
Awesome Application dude.
Hat's off to ya
Great application, to the point and simple. Keep up the good work!
New version out. Added more icons and custom times.
Sorry for this, but where can i get this app?? I thought it would be attached to this thread??
EDIT: Sorry again, found the answer to that... How stupid of me..
