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?
(sorry if my English is not totally correct)

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.
Hi, do you know what does "rA" icon next to signal icon mean. Thanks
It's Revision A EVDO, meaning more speed. There's information on Wikipedia about it if you want to read up. It just means if you were to tether or if you use Opera to browse the web it would be faster connection speeds
Hi, thanx for your reply. It isn't in users manual and I saw it two or three times only.
Hello prdic,
I love your icons, especially the battery icon looks really great. Would you mind sharing the cab for it?
Thanks dude, and take care!
Studebaker
Hi Studebaker, my cab is from this thread. There are more cabs than my one.
Thank you dude, I appreciate it! Studebaker!
I am looking for this Battery Icon. I have the Vista Taskbar installed and i want to change the Vista Battery Icon to the icon on the picture here:
Does anyone know where I can find this one? Only the battery, i don´t want to change any other detail.
+1 on That!
Go on guys! Im sure it wouldnt take much to make a cab of just the battery..
I't would look nice with my Dusk theme
Here, I found it I couldn´t wait so long
This cab changes the Battery Icon into the 3D green Battery. Looks great.
Genius!
Thanks Yoshi! Your right, it is nice!
Must note, changes WiFi as well but as its a nice icon not too bothered
Thanks Again!
I really love this Battery icon, too
any chance...
Yoshi, do you know where I could get a cab for the start menu icon on its own? I'm after a green/dark geen large HTC icon... Recon it would look nice with my dusk theme
Thanks it´s look very nice
hi guys i'm new here but i wanna know how to install these, could someone please tell me how?
I do not have this battery icon alone.
Another Battery is here:
Thanks Yoshi!
Yoshi! you been holding out on me? Thats nice! I'm so indecisive Think Ill go with this one as its darker. Been trying to skin my hd2 as close to the Matrix as I can (goes with the long leather coat )
& Finezt: Its simple
Run windows mobile center (or activsync if your on xp or older)
Copy across the cab file prfrebly to your mem crd.
Run from phone and install...
Soft reset and your done!
Should of changed for you!
So what else you hiding from us Yoshi?
I have my HD2 sind last Friday, 8 Days. I have changed some things, that i didn´t like.
- Another Battery Icon
- Vista Startmenu
- More than only 1 calender appointment on homescreen
- changing many icons
- installing Home Tap Manila MOD
- another clock
- glass slider and weather
- new audio and video players
and many other small things that make my HD2 better for me.
All in all, nothing unusual
yoshi can you show us your today screen please?
Ok, here are some screens.
I am always looking for some new things to make better.
i've done that i doesn't work..

Do you have the Vista Taskbar installed? Then the Task4.cab for the new Battery. Reset and it works.
Hi.
I just have the latest rom from HTC and put the "task_4.cab" file in the program map on the phone memory. Installed it and did a softreset after. Worked like a charm for me
Hope it helps!
Thanks for a great cab!
None of those work for me. The Artemis one somehow worked, however the battery looked still like original, but with smoother edges, and also the "H"-icon for fast 3G. Weird
Very nice, works good for me!

Hi Yoshi!
Can I have a copy of your wallpaper in your fist post? would be a nice addition to my growing collection!
Thanks Mate!
Has anyone got a method for accessing the file-system of a Focus? Or possibly have a method for ripping the built-in apps off the phone? I want to replace the default icons of some of the standard apps. Specifically i want to change the look of the Map icon to a map of my city. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Also, I modified some of the Homebrew App icons and splash screens to feel a little more Metro-ey. If this pisses someone off, please let me know and I'll remove them. I've done a few more that I didnt upload if anyone wants more.
good job!

1st party apps will be a problem I think and not possible on the samsung device so far I believe....
However for 3rd party apps its no problem. You can download the xaps with desktop marketplace dan than just drop the images in the xap. I did this with a few apps who had butt-ugly icons. I just cant stand the look of some of these icons especially not when they are trying to add 3d affects and shining stuff to it
I'm glad to know i'm not the only one. 3D icons don't always look good. Remember a few yers ago when everything had to be glass?
I never got into Pokemon, perhaps because I was a little too old when it came out, but there are two pokemons that I think are awesome. One is Snorlax and the other is your avatar. I won a large stuffed Polywhirl at a fair (my girlfriend at the time was a whiz at skee-ball). Thumbs up to you, sir.

Very nice!
I hate those 3d and shiny icons too. However (for the only program that I use, Wifi settings one) I would rather prefer a big "wireless signal" graph like the one near the wp7 clock that the complex but still better than the original, metro wifi icon you added.
PS: The wifi application shows the old icon in the program list

Much better! but can you tweak just a little bit the icon:
-rotate it -45 degrees
-last small piece is a circle but the sides of the circle are inside the icon
-same image for the small icon
hehe! blended 100% in our phones!
yes will try do that for ya!
Fixed the small icon and threw in a few optional icons like fades bars. Let me know what you think.
Very nice! thanks you both!
I actually unpinned the original wifi app because the icon, but now it's back to my main menu tiles

Hi everyone !
I'm proud to present my 1st app on the playstore. This is a simple widget to display METAR data ( aviation weather ) right on your homescreen.
You can also check TAFs and quick access your favorite weather and navigation website.
Check it out. Hope you'll like it. Here's the link :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5GbG9yZW50Lm1ldGFyd2lkZ2V0Il0.
And now is also available the donate version with added features :
-3 widgets -> fancy one similar to the free version with extra data
->simple one with raw text
->tiny widget to save space on screen
-you can save up to 5 airports to scroll through on widget
-PIREPs access from widget
- choose your own widget background and text color/transparency
-4 different widget skins ( one of which transparent)
-5 different colors for the METARs/TAFs list and PIREPs list
-possibility to search for airports with METARs within 50NM of another airport ( in case your home airport doesn't offer METAR data for example)
here is the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Florent.metarwidgetdonate&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5GbG9yZW50Lm1ldGFyd2lkZ2V0ZG9uYXRlIl0.
New versions are up for both free and donate widgets with possibility to change units ( SM -> Km and inHg -> hPa)

Hi,
first of all: thanks!
This is the first useful METAR widget that I've found.
Still, it would be even better (for me) with some improvements:
- Toggle RAW METAR (I prefer it without symbols etc), which would also allow
=> 4x1 Widget size
I'd like a 4x1 version with relatively small text (still readable on my SGS2 ), with one hitbox to refresh it and another one to open the detailed version and access the settings.
(If you could scroll it, it would be even better)
Again, thanks so much for publishing this!!
Cheers
Stefan
Hi Stefan.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm glad you like it.
Funny that you posted it almost at the same time I published a donate version of the app which features an additional widget with raw data !
With the donate version you're also able to add up to 5 airports to scroll through on the widget.
However the raw data widget is still a bit big in my opinion so as you suggested I'm probably gonna reduce the size of the text to make it a bit smaller.
I've updated the OP. You can take a quick look for all the extra features of the donate version.
Thanks again for downloading. Feel free to report any bug.
Great app, will definitely give it a shot. So far, only used AirWX, which was not updated in ages.
Kudos for giving us a free one as well. God knows flying is expensive...
As a suggestion, maybe "Closest METAR reporting station" option? For example, my home field, KLDJ, does not report METAR. But KEWR does, and it's closest. So pulling up KLDJ should give a closest station available. I know ForeFlight does this.

Thanks.
I'm also working on this option. I already coded it but there's still a tiny bug I have to fix. I'll do my best to do it fast but holidays are gonna be busy for me.
and I agree flying is soooo expensive !
I like it. I think you said in the donate version that raw data is available in the widget correct?
I'm also curious if the widget could potentially be able to cycle through your 5 airports selected?
Overall big fan, the other app I've been using has never had a widget and I'm glad to someone still pilot apps for android!
I'll give it a go. I have been using aviation tools, but I'm always looking at new Aviation Apps!

Donated
The 4x2 is fair enough, but as you said, you could make it smaller by working with "hitboxes", which might need some explanation for new users though.
If you add a big one in the middle that opens the detailed view (which I love btw, seeing the last 3 METARs as well is extremely useful), a small one for reloading and another small one for switching to the next airport, you should be fine and save some space.
Since it is already very nice for me (and will stay on my homescreen from now on), I'd also like to request some more color options:
- "pick your own color" (I'd like... black)
- transparency setting for the widget
Just to make it blend in with the other widgets I have.
Thanks again
Stefan
I'll try it ASAP, thank you for this app!
Friends with Apple/IOS will move to android :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: is there any chance to have visi in Km instead of SM and baro in Mb instead of inHg??
I'm french, sorry for that
QNH
Great widget. Thank you for it. Just a question though.
Any chance the QNH can be switched into mBar?

Hi Grunera. Well I'm French as well, it's just that I'm living in Canada now. I'll look into it. Funny thing is in Canada the QNH ( which we don't use) is included in the metar data we get for the widget but for the French ones ( for instance LFPG) it's not....so I'll just have to convert.
Au fait c'est encore pas la fin du monde en France ? :laugh:

new versions for both free and donate are up with possibility to choose units. So now no need to do head calculation for you
Merci pour ta contribution !
Checking it out. I've been using AirReport, but it isn't very refined. Aviation Tools is quite nice as well. Scrollable widget though? THAT'S cool!
This is WAY off topic, but I'm just curious if any of you use an app for route planning with a moving map. I've found a couple free ones, but they aren't that great. Naviator looks REALLY nice and is the cheapest of the subscription based ones, but would love some feed back before I drop the dime to buy it.
Also, completely random, but FlightTools E6B has the exact same icon... lol

Version 1.5 of the donate version is out and now features a 3rd widget (4x2 resizable to 4x1 depending on device/launcher) !!
Hope you'll like it !
NICE! been hoping for a 4x1!
Edit: Not quite what I was looking for actually. I like the look of the 4x2 but prefer the smallness of the 4x1. Unfortunately, it seems that the buttons to scroll through to the different airports are no longer accessible when resizing. IMHO, a dedicated widget might be in order. Maybe with transparent arrows on either side for scrolling OR make it a true scroller up and down! That would be really cool!
OR! If you want to get REALLY crazy, use transparent arrows on either side and true scoller up and down to get to the TAF/PIREP buttons! Holy crap my brain is racing with different ideas right now....
I'm no dev, just a guy with good ideas (they are to me anyways lol)
Nice work, and I look forward to seeing more progress!
Just some food for thought on this, I like the transparent theme, but on some wallpapers, it could be difficult to read. Would look good with a transparent black background rather than fully transparent.... If that makes any sense at all.

Right now I'm looking into adding a color picker and alpha slider in order to choose color/transparency of widget as requested earlier.
But after that I can try to make true scrollable widget also but might not work with all launchers though. But I'll definitely give it a try.
Now what phone are you using ? Because that might explain why the buttons disappear when resizing, if you screen is small. On my S2 it works fine. Also depends on the size of the METAR text. Nothing I can really do about that until I make a fully scrollable widget:laugh:
