    Hello Monte,
    nice work you're doing here.
    Anyway, my applet "DeviceManager" now supports QVGA too, if you can update... thanks in advance.

    @Montecristoff:

    Thank you for maintaining this sticky. With the increasing number of themes and applets it may be time to switch to some sort of file repository that each applet/theme maker can maintain themself. Here are a couple of examples of how other sites have implemented this:

    Hello Montecristoff,

    i am now confident enough to share my applet. It combines, tasks, appointments and the current clock in one view, so that you don't have to click to see all what has to be done.

    Just take that main folder with all the files in it, make sure it is unzipped, and copy it to your appletribbon folder in the Home2 directory.

    so i have to install pointui on the storage card and not on the device?

    Well, it's better to put it on your device. Seems like people have more problems with it on your card, but I would imagine even if pointui is installed on your card, you may be able to but the applet folder you want into the appletribbon folder wherever you have it installed. Then select the applet you want to use by pressing one of the + buttons in the screen that shows you all the applets you have running from the applet ribbon.

    Depending on where you installed it it... It if is on the device it is under program files/Home2/Appletribbon. It it's on the storage card, look for Home2. I think that would be the main folder it would be off of on the card. Unless you stored it somewhere else on the card or it puts it in a program files folder on the card.

    another home applet that provides an analog clock, a battery meter and some connectivity and sound controls.

    attention:
    -I don't have a VGA device so I was not able to test on a VGA device, I will need some feedback about VGA device usage.
    -it's a beta version ; some future properties are disabled or absent.

    @AKILalmaZZ- Nice app. What type of future functionality are you anticipating? Calendar, tasks, etc? Could use a setting for vibrate mode. All-in-all, a very nice beginning.

    DDeedee,

    Here's how I add/edit applets in Home. There may be a simpler way, but this works for me. I write out very detailed instructions, so forgive me if some of this is basic for you.

    1. Download the Applet Zip file.

    2. Extract the File to somewhere you'll remember, I like my desktop for temporary storage.

    3. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and Sync.

    4. Use File Explorer to navigate to: My Computer/Mobile Device/My Windows Mobile Device/Program Files/Home2/AppletRibbon.

    5. Once in that folder, you'll see a number of folders and a file named Applets.xml. This is the file that Home reads to see what applets to load. The other folders each contain an Applet.

    6. Now, return to your desktop and copy the extracted applet folder. Paste it into the AppletRibbon folder.

    7. In the AppletRibbon folder, copy the file named, "Applets.xml" Paste it on your desktop.

    8. On your desktop, right click on the file named "Applets.xml." Choose Open With, and select a program to edit Applets.xml. I like Notepad. This is where you edit the AppletRibbon code. It's easy.

    9. Look for the following code:
    <item>
    <type>applet</type>
    <text>Today</text>
    <icon>\Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\Today\Icon.Large.jif</icon>
    </item>

    This little bit of code tells Home to run the Today Applet from the Today folder. You can change "Today" to the name of the Applet folder in your "AppletRibbon" folder you want to add.

    10. An example, I want to add a great little Applet named "infinitihome" to my AppletRibbon instead of Today. So, I modify the above code to read:

    <item>
    <type>applet</type>
    <text>infinitihome</text>
    <icon>\Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\infinitihome\Icon.Large.jif</icon>
    </item>

    Be sure the code string starts with <item> and ends with </item> as shown above.

    11. You can also remove applets from the AppletRibbon by deleting whole strings of code from "AppletRibbon.xml."

    12. When you're done editing, you must Save your work. This saves your work to the file "AppletRibbon.xml" on your desktop. To get it onto your phone, you have to copy past the file from your Desktop to the AppletRibbon folder. This will overwrite the original document in the folder, so you might want to save a back up somewhere.

    13. The last step is to disconnect your phone and restart it. Enjoy your new Applet!

    Ddeedee, I'm having the same problem with infinitihome that you describe above. It appears that it the zip file is missing a *.cs file. The only thing in the folders are images.

    Hopefully my long-typed response above will help someone some day.

    hello guys!
    if i put more than 6 applets, home2 runs very slow and the device too...

    PointUI team,
    Looking at the website home page, I think it needs updating. It ways there are now 6 new applets and when I was typing this, I read 22 new applets, 6 applet mods and an insane 47 themes. This thing is growing. I realize you can't update it every time someone releases a new applet or theme, but I think almost 4X is time. :)
    Keep up the good work, and I know the Pro version will be even better.

    Devs, good work keeping all the applets coming and making this program even better.

    I have a request which might has been discussed before but here we are.
    Is there any possibilities to have an Applet Store which can be accessed through your phone?

    Thank you guys. I am seeing the new 2.0.20 is coming out:D

    It will be accessible through your device.

    Wow, how have I missed this in the last three weeks!

    I'm a long time Diamond user but based on the last few hours of testing out Home2, I am hugely impressed. Bye bye TF3D and hello to this.

    The applets and themes system works great; should allow a browseable-via-your-phone applet / theme store in future?

    Comparing to TF3d, the only thing I'm really missing here is the Internet / Favorites tab (based on Opera Mobile) which I used to use quite often. Looking forward to seeing an applet emerge. Actually, having developed prevously in C #, I might have a bash at developing something myself.. will investigate the SDK.

    To everyone involved in this project, developers and community alike, well done! Finally, a smart, open and useful user interface for Windows Mobile...

    Exactly.

    You could right now use Quick Launch and add your own favorite links.

    Actually, having developed prevously in C #, I might have a bash at developing something myself.. will investigate the SDK.

    You could try this and read the complete documentation.

    To everyone involved in this project, developers and community alike, well done! Finally, a smart, open and useful user interface for Windows Mobile...

    Thanks in the name of the community...
    ...and Welcome at Home! ;)

    Monte - a nice upgrade to this sticky (as well as the "theme store" sticky) would be if in the first post of the thread (your applet list) the most recent posting information was shown for each individual applet thread. I come to this sticky periodically to check on the status of the applets I use. If the latest posting info for each applet thread was shown, I would only need dive into the applet threads where there has been recent activity. I know that I could add each of the applet threads to my favorites and get this info, but I like to come here anyway to see the new stuff :D Thanks!
