[Theme+Applet][Concept Idea] Pointui Android

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    Android is an upcomming platform we must face all. However as we are all bound to our providers and windows mobile phones we have to get around this issue. Android is being ported, but not yet succesfull. I do not say everyone should take android or even consider it, I just wanted to share an idea.

    As we are on the pointui forum, where idea's can be posted, I can safely make a suggestion. As i lately been really interrested in this platform and its ease in going around with the platform.. i though why not convert a little of the pointui to do that for us and at the same time keep all the pros of pointui and even wm itself?

    So what do we need?

    theme
    possibility to adjust applet idea's into the core of pointui itself.

    So what do i intend.. yes the sliding function of android to be built into pointui :) we already have applets and so on which can provide with the other things.

    i do not intend to touch any copyrights, but as far as i know its open source. so why not use its idea to the benifit of a pointui idea?

    think of it..

    click on the slidetabbutton - will bring up menu/bookmarks/contacts/history or something like the menu button on android

    slide the slidetabbutton open - will bring up a sort of instant program browser. with customizable buttons... or a sort of addition screen to the applet that is activated on that moment... or instant notifications

    We can think of all kind of ideas. I do not long for a merge but more like an android customisable feature for pointui ;) like an applet or theme switch

    @strages:
    can you create the images? because i need some special:

    - the Icons for the Apps
    - the Slidetabbutton
    - the Clockface
    - the Clockhands
    - the icons for the option-buttons

    is this possible by you or someone else?

    I dont think pointui can match android because pointui still has to rely on windows mobile, would be nice to see a similar looking theme though :)

    @WerzilUK:
    you are right, it can't match the whole function, but perhaps we can create an applet combined with an Theme to create this look.

    i think i would like it!

    Hey hey nice those replies :) it would be great if you GrPaz could take a look into this or anyone else if they fancy.

    i indeed also think that pointui cannot or will be not a copy of android and i did not intend it to be. I just see that i may be possible to put a few good things of android be put in pointui for those who want that :)

    For the icons.. I'll search them again tonight, because i think they may be somewhere already out there on the internet. why make them again whyle they are already there :)

    ps we could also make a little pointui icon into the slide for giving our thanks to the pointui team always like to make it a bit custom and not a total copy :)

    WOW, Starges if you really decide to accomplish this hard yet possible project you'd be the hero of PointUI community, I'd personally be willing to donate.

    Do you/(we?) intend to have 'SubApplets' in this applet ?
    Configurables, moveables, ... ?

    wooow GrPaz.. really nice!! you know damn well how to make something nice yourself :P
    searched over all internet and couldnt find them.. where did you get them.. or did you get them out of normal images? out of the sdk? orrr :P furthermore really nice!!

    and SerGTR, I just gave the idea .. and it seems that not only me and you are interersted but also GrPaz, who is doing an awesome job atm! :)

    cant wait for the first alpha beta test mate

    btw is it an applet right now.. so if you slide to hte right you got a totally empty screen or is it built over the whole pointui interface outside of applets?

    lol coz that would make something possible to nice.. and originaly intented: pointui android layout with pointiu applets as choise

    ^^ that would make a hybrid wm6.5/android applet pointuimakeover possible. imagine a wm6.5 applet that simulates the homescreen of 6.5 which i am atm addicted too also.. mmh of course the sliding to left and right will give some difficulties :P

    hi, thanks for the flowers*G*...

    its just an image at the moment, but i think it will be a mixture of an applet and an theme, so you can slide to right and left!

    @costp: i thik we should call them "Subletts"*G* moveable?perhaps, i've got an idea about this*G*!

    ah ok.. aw well hope you can code something together soon to test if the concept could work :)

    or homlets as monte describes his applet sublets :) stick with sublets i would say

    I think that we will have to wait until the R2.1 for a 'real' multi sublets Applet.
    R2.1 should have the 'using' function working. This would allow us to import classes in the Base Applet (Android.cs ?:-)).
    I just asked if it will be possible to have cascaded 'Using', so our Applet should create a file containing a 'using' function for each applet + a load function to activate these ones. This should not be a problem... :D

    If cascaded 'using' is not possible we will have to re-write the Applet CS itself following the activated applets. I can already see to make a proof of concept for this.

    We should then only provide some 'Rules' for creation of sublets, like having the name at the first line, followed by the Class name... I'll make some tests for this...

    But I will have a lot to do at home next week so I will not have a lot of spare times...

    :D

    @GrPaz

    Thanks for sharing the wall :)
    And are these new screenshots of PointUI or are they mockups too?

    It'd be amazing if you can pull this off :)
