Greetings everyone! Please, excuse my english.
This is my first creation. It's not really customisable, as I designed it mainly for my needs. But now that's done (a few bugs remain actually), why not sharing it? Perhaps some of you will like it.
So, what's this applet? This is a full screen (WGA) applet, designed to provide:
- A nice background image with the applet
- A Clock
- Some volume control
- Some informations about the phone status (battery, radio signal, bluetooth, wifi)
How does it work:
- To the left is the volume indicator. You can click to adjust volume. To set volume to null, just click on the the small music note. To set the phone in vibrate mod, long-click (click and hold) on any volume button. A bug remains here, as the systray (volume indicator on windows status)doesn't update (but if you receive a call, the phone also vibrate... but you should test it before)
- The Clock: click to the center to get the clock / alarm windows application. If there is any active alarm, the center of the clock display a small alarm icon. Long Click (click and hold) to stop / start displaying seconds. displaying seconds uses some more battery
- To the right is an arrow (up or down). Click it to hide or un-hide some basic phone informations. Also, Long Click (click and hold) to start the CommManager application.
Limitations:
- Windows mobile actually have 2 sorts of volume: device volume and ringer volume. As I don't need two different values, the volume control does set both volume (ringer and device volume).
- When you set the volume to Vibrate, the windows systrait doesnt seem to upgrade... Actually, the windows volume still indicates that the volume isn't in vibrate mod. Also when you receive a call, the phone does vibrate actually.
Settings.xml Here you can customize the applet:
Comm.App.Filename: the application you want to use as CommManager (default = default windows commmanager). This application will be started on long-click on the arrow (up or down) button
Clock.App.Filename: the clock application (default = default windows clock). This application will be started on single click on the center of the clock.
Timer.Stats: the number of seconds to refresh the phone status (default = 5 seconds)
Show.Seconds= indicate if the applet must display or not the seconds by default. Use those values: <term name="Show.Seconds">1</term> means yes, and <term name="Show.Seconds">0</term> means no.
Some more informations:
- The applet is build to minimise power consumption. It stops refreshing when you slide to another applet or light off the screen. But be careful when using seconds display: that uses much more power.
- The applet is designed for the current configuration in Home 2 Customize: Full Screen: Yes / Home Screen Buttons V Align: Bottom
Updates)
03/04/09: Added "Settings.xml". Editing this file allow to change clock default application, CommManager default application, and phone informations update timer.
04/04/09: Changed the way the clock updates, in order to minimise battery drain. Added seconds display, and long press functions.
05/04/09: Added Vibrate Mod. Just long click (clock and hold) on any volume button to set the vibrate volume.
08/04/09: Minor change. Now the applet works if installed on other dir than "AppletRibbon" (if that is possible with home2)
[Replace the old FaeryClock directory by the new one, as some files where added, and other changed]
