Good to see that IPT is alive. For all users they are using the manila today page tab..

Meltwater have done an amzing job with the SenseUtil app. It helps to add and remove tabs in an easy way. Also the most tab cab files are updated by me (posting 109 and 119 in meltwaters thread).

It is not really an ITP issue but better to know then to die stupid ;)

Hi Uberto, of course it's possible, I hope you get the answer from michoob because it's been such a long time since I installed that I can't remember :eek:
You have to create a lot of blank icons first...

7.Have you made any progress in adding icons outside of the main area and bottom area, so that we aren't restricted to them? I'd like to be able to define an icon anywhere that I want, including by giving exact coordinates.

This things are very interesting,why can not it change?

@muca_mzq: use iPhoneToday.exe or iPhoneTodayDesktop.exe version. The DLL = Today plugin version cannot overwrite top and bottom bars, this is a WM limitation. Or maybe you are talking about something else, then sorry.

Can anyone tell me what i'm missing?

I need a shortcut to my call history with a notification bubble. I created a shortcut to call history that opens from File Explorer, but when i point to the short cut in IPT it doesnt do anything.

Here are the settings I have:

Type: Missed calls
Image: Phone.png
Sound: none
Execute: \windows\calls.Ink
Parameters: None
ExecuteAlt: None
ParamsAlt: None
Launch Animation: Checked

I'm on the latest Energy Titanium Rom. If someone could at least provide me their settings I'd appreciate it.

Idealy it would be nice to provide a shortcut to the "notification enhancment", but i cant seem to find any sign of that possibility.

Is it possible to show the next appointment on a set of Icons on the IPhone today screen?
Much like the large clock that uses up 8 icons (2 full rows)?

Not having a quick calendar view on the today screen is about the only thing that is driving me nuts at this point.

Thanks.

To Link an icon to a Call History, don't do it your way, but have a look at the FAQ. Link to the FAQ in first post.

So much so I cannot click on any icon. When I sweep from right to left or left to right it doesnt go smoothly. Its very jumpy and impossible to use. My touchscreen works fine in all other apps and I can click, double click, etc. Just doesnt work with the iphonetoday screen. I see "movement" settings but not sure what to change. Anyone have this issue?

Can anybody help him/her?

    Changelog

    iPhoneToday v1.5.2 (Apr 15, 2010)
    1. Improved scrolling performance. It should be really fast when there is no wallpaper or there is a gradient or image background for the mainscreen pages. Under these conditions you could even enable alpha blend on background without any performance loss.

    3. Added new animation effects. The available ones are: "None", "Expand rectangle from center", "Zoom out from center", "Zoom in to center", "Expand rectangle from clicked area", "Zoom out from clicked area", and "Zoom in to clicked area".
    4. Added "animation" tab in options where you can select the animation effect, the animation duration, and whether to launch the application before the animation.
    5. The "out of screen" tab got more options. You can now configure to stop scrolling when there are no more icons in a given direction.
    6. Added an option to tile the background images.
    7. Included a couple of tileable textures.
    8. Included an iPhone background for the BottomBar.

    6. ShrinkToFit option of static bars now shrinks the text height in addition to the icon width.
    7. Added font settings dialog.

    15. If operator name is empty show NA for signal.
    16. Changed the field "type" in the icon settings dialog from dropdown to droplist.
    17. Fonts in the fonts subdirectory are automatically added/removed.
    18. Load strExec and strParameters (in addition to nScreen, nIcon, strName, and strImage) from HKLM\Software\iPhoneToday\Icon...\ when HKLM\Software\iPhoneToday\reloadIcon is set.
    19. Added a separate text quality option for text inside icons.
    20. Added new pressed icons.
    21. Added minimize OnLaunchIcon option (you have to manually edit settings.xml).
    22. Added UpdateWhenInactive option (you have to manually edit settings.xml) to always update notifications even when window is inactive. The default value is 0 to save battery.

    4. Added an option to "use mask for transparency" that might help the scrolling performance on some devices.
    5. Added text quality option (Default, Draft, Nonantialiased, Antialiased, Cleartype, Cleartype comp), but it is available only when alpha blend on background is disabled.
    6. Added facename (font family) option for the text labels under the icons, the header text, and the special icons text. (you have to manually configure the XML, no dialog yet).
    7. Added shadow and roundrect options for the header text.
    8. Added --winkey command to display the start menu.
    9. Added an option to show battery percentage while charging (enabled by default).

    15. Some minor fixes and improvements.

    1. Fixed degraded quality of images of previous release (image resizing is done by the Windows Imaging API again).
    2. Fixed a bug with background resizing.
    3. Added RoundRect option (for now only in the XML, no dialog yet) to display a black rounded rectangular behind the text (like Android).

    iPhoneToday v1.4.8 (Mar 14, 2010)
    1. Using LPNG library (an extremely light-weight library - it just adds 6KB) if imaging API fails (mostly helpful for PNDs where imaging API is often missing). This allows now all devices to load and display transparent PNG icons.
    2. Huge memory savings compared to v1.3 when AlphaBlend is disabled (32bit icons are now converted to whatever the screen supports, usually 16bit).
    3. Fixed text labels being 1-2 pixels left of the center of the icons.
    4. Fixed background color of options dialog to be the windows default color for menu backgrounds.
    5. Added --keyboard command to show/hide the keyboard.
    6. Only for PNDs: added a help button (question mark) on the title bar of the options and icon settings dialogs (next to the OK button) that toggles the appearance of the keyboard.
    7. The 3-letter abbreviation of the day of the week is now by default displayed in the language of the user locale.
    8. Converted the included pressed icons from gray scale to true color since LPNG only supports loading true color PNG images.
    9. Resized the bubble icons.
    10. Added a warning that scrolling will be slow when AlphaBlend is enabled on devices that do not natively support it.

    iPhoneToday v1.4.7 (Mar 09, 2010)

    4. Added some new options for the background image: fit width, fit height, center
    5. Added refresh time setting in the movement tab
    6. Added new command: --volume:++<step> and --volume:--<step>
    7. Fixed a bug with animation rectangular staying sometimes on screen

    jwoegerbauer,
    No it cannot be. iPhoneToday works on any screen resolution. The LastConfiguredAt in settings.xml is used if you happen to use a settings.xml from another device with a different screen resolution than yours, in which case all settings are scaled accordingly.

    sakeator,
    I am still around and will continue to update the program, but updates will be mostly bug fixes or small feature requests.

    Wow this is really exciting. I love this app, it's really given my phone a new lease on life without its stylus.

    I'm really curious to know what the change log for this version might look like, since iphone today is so central to my usability I'm a little more hesitant than I would normally be to just dive in and try a new version..
    1
    Installed iPhoneToday 1.5.3 rc2

    Installed 1.5.3 rc2. No issues so far.

    Is there a change log?

    How to change a circle into a rectangle or square?
    8888.jpg
    How to do this by modifying the file settings.xml?
    Or you need to edit the file iPhoneToday.exe?

    Sorry for the incorrect english ...
