[ConnState V1.3] Connection State plugin - Localization added

[dpduser]

Maybe someone could find this interesting...

While I find cumbersome to find out the (for instance) IP addresses assigned to the device, or frustrating when Internet Explorer cannot find any web page because the current connection is the WRONG one...

... I ended up writing my own Today Screen plugin to display more information on the active connection. Yeah, I know this is not quite a "common" requirement, but maybe someone finds it useful... or even can suggest further improvements - that will be of course welcome!

I've attached some screenshots of it running on both a WM5 emulator and my real Hermes running WM6 - thanks Schap!

Please, feel free to use it, redistribute it, add to a ROM kitchen, or cook it into any ROM...

Updated August, 13th...
More changes with the 1.3 version. Now localization has been added. I'm currently shipping this version with English (native) and Spanish languages. I've also added a ZIP file with a little document where you can find instructions to localize/translate ConnState to your preferred language and a template localization file for English.

Hasta la vista!!!!

Thanks, man... Great work.

One sugestion, you can make the plug-in shorter, or with + icon to show all the info, to save today space

Of course... in fact, why didn't I think about that in first place? :$ I was thinking about leaving the plugin "collapsed" (the size of "no connection") and add a right-hand minibutton that expands the thing up to its size... And even allow tapping you on it to open another window with full details on the connection...

This weekend will be fun

Thanks alot for your comments!!!

This is actually very nice work and I would use it, once you were able to condense it into a smaller amount of space.

Dont work in VGA screen (
(tested on Universal WM6)
Hope you fix it soon.

Nice. I would definitely use this if it was 'shorter'

Totally not for noobs but if you are are a road warrior, or on the road a lot sniffing WiFi hotspots then this is really a great add on!

thanks a lot.
