    Hi everybody,
    I'm glad to present you the sonnar UI version of the appointments applet.
    This version bring some changes to the standard version.
    - colored bullets are replaced by icons (The configuration file is now CategoryIcons.xml). For the moment only 3 icons are available I'm waiting for some more from Appelton.
    - Icons are assigned to categories using numbers this way:
    - Only today and tomorrow (by clicking on the tomorrow button) appointments are displayed on the applet but you can get a lot more by clicking on the more button.
    - The current appointment is tagged with the "current" keyword.
    - Appointment which are passed are no more displayed.

    This is for the moment a beta version, so please post here your feedback.
    I wasn't able to test this applet on a QVGA phone, so I'm not 100% sure that this is compilent ;).

    Changelog V3Beta2 (needs Home 2 Free Build 2.0.28b or higher):

    • AppointmentsSettings.xml file replace CategoryIcons.xml file
    • The last choosen scren (today or tomorrow) will stay if you browse trough your applets, you won't be redirect automaticaly to the today screen.
    • Change the background in order to fit with the position of other Sonnar project applets.
    • Add auto updates of the appointment display (the intervall can be configured in the AppointmentsSettings.xml file).
    • Add colored text for the appointment subjects. This color can be configured for each category in the AppointmentsSettings.xml file.

    In order to use a color you need to have it declared in the Theme.xml file from your theme folder for instance :

    <theme>
    <colors>
    <color>
    <name>Black</name>
    <rgb>#000000</rgb>
    </color>
    <color>
    <name>Cyan</name>
    <rgb>#7fffff</rgb>
    </color>
    <color>
    <name>Red</name>
    <rgb>#ff0000</rgb>
    </color>
    </colors>
    </theme>

    PS : If you add the colors to your theme.xml file you will need to restart home in order to apply the changes.

    Changelog V3Beta3 (needs Home 2 Free Build 2.0.28b or higher):

    • Small Design changes

    Changelog V3Beta4 (needs Home 2 Free Build 2.0.28b or higher):

    • Add graphical configuration stuff for categories icons and colors
    • You just need to maintain a category list in categories.xml, the icons and colors are set via the Applet configuration menu
    • New category icons

    Changelog V3Final (needs Home 2 Free/Pro Build 2.0.32 or higher):

    • Category List is automaticaly created using your appointments categories
    • Configuration screen for calendar application choice

    Very nice, but one tiny problem. When you go into the MORE section, the BACK and NEXT buttons change days and you have to click the PointUI icon to come out.

    Now, that's not a bad problem as I figure that's designed behaviour, but it's not apparent that you have to click that icon to come out. Perhaps just adding that as an instruction in the OP?

    Also, a button to add a new appointment would be nice...

    The vertical positioning is out of alignment with the Sonna Today and Weather applets. Needs to move down a bit...

    Thanks FloatingFatMan for your feedback I will change the position, Concerning the "back button" I had the same concern than you, I had to find a solution for this.

    olivier have you check the current version on your QVGA device ?

    @joelaloose

    I think using the PointUI button is fine, you just need to make sure people know to use it. ;)

    Concerning the vertical offset, it seems that we are just not using the same background image :).
    If you copy the background.jif file from the other applet it should work.

    Just one question, do you know which font is used by Appelton for all the sonnar applets ?

    Nope, sorry. All I know is that it's a Mac one. Appleton himself appears to have vanished...

    yes it seems, that's why I want to change the graphical stuff by myself...

    I'd say find something as similar as you can, and let the rest of us know what it is. ;)

    i take it the number in the top left hand corner is the date??

    well on my device (xperia x1 VGA) this shows 16, today is the 17th. the date in the top of the new version of Home 2 correctly states 17 so i know the date on the phone is correct.

    any ideas?

    thanks

    no Rumble, this is just the icon of the applet ;) this will stay the 16

    Maybe a small fix... change the StartY offset to 8 instead of 0 to align with the other Sonnar applets.

    slightly offtopic: where do you find the png sonnar background images and font to create our own sonnar applet?

    Edit: This at least is the startY offset for an Xperia... don't know if it is different for VGA/(W)QVGA screens

    ABCDEFGabcdefg : Concerning the offset just refer to post #8 ;)
    Appleton send me all the graphical stuff, but I'm waiting on him for new resources, but like FloatingFatMan suggest it, he seems to have vanished....

    Great work joelaloose, Thanks!
    I've added this other Sonnar applet where you know.

    About font, it seems that appleton used Myriad Pro (with regular and condensed style).

    Joelaloose,

    I've tried the version on my qvga device and it's not properly working. All pictures are too big.

    If you need I can try your future version for qvga compliance.

    a little advice, like other sonnar applet, when click on setting button or similar, the full display opened has an eventually scroller, in this sonnar appointment applet, in the full display shown the rounded background then if i swith my device in landscape mode (i've an xperia), the background is cutted and i don't see all appointments.

    ps i'm sorry for my bad english...
    pps love this applet!

    wow!!! Cant wait for qvga :P a noob question... If I write a script that cuts down to half all numbers(coordinates) it finds in these xml files(like theme.xml) and resize the graphics.... would it work? you know, just to speed things up a little :P

    Would you consider merging future appointments under Today if there is space (lack of appointments that day)? Same thing in "More". Seems like a lot of space can be utilized on light days and also reduces unnecessary taps?

    hey nice work thank you... another nice addition to SONNAR UI... thanks :)

    I got one question though... have you worked on the landscape version for the applet? cuz lets say if I open the detail in the applet screen, wouldn't the background be out of the screen kind of? if you know what I am saying... just wanted to confirm.

    Thanks Again.
