Hi again,

it's time to release a beta of the next version of TouchWatch.

This utility is in beta status. Please report bugs into this thread. Thank you.

Requirements:

• WM5 or WM6
• .NET Compact Framework 3.5
• 1.5MB free RAM

Features:

• up to 6 timers or stopwatches
• landscape support
• d-pad support
• should work on all screen resolutions (VGA,QVGA,WVGA etc.)
• use your own notifications sounds

Usage:
The usage is very simple. Just use fingertips to start or stop a timer (d-pad action). If you want to reset a timer, hold down your finger for 500ms (d-pad action for 500ms). To modify the settings of a timer, tab on the left side icon and the settings will open (d-pad left).
The top notification bar is showing radio strength, battery status, bluetooth status, wireless status and some other informations. Tab on the left side of the top bar to open the main settings screen (or use north gesture, d-pad right). To hide the application click the middle part of the top bar (or use south gesture). To close it click the right side of the top bar.



Installation:
Copy and run the CAB file on your device. You will find a shortcut to TouchWatch2 in your programs startmenu.
If you get an error that some DLL is missing: This can happen with some ROMs. Extract and copy the files located in the "TouchWatch2 DLLs.zip" into the "\Programs\TouchWatch2" directory and maybe TouchWatch will execute.

Version History:
2.01b:
* Added an option to select between application- or standard taskbar.
* Fixed bug: Font directory not found at startup (DirectoryNotFoundException).
2.0b:
* First beta release.

Support me with a donation for future developments:

Thank you!

hi thanks for sharing

Is it fo VGA only or QVGA also ? and is it going to work on my hd also ? (WVGA)

Great App! Absolutely love it and use it daily!

2 things:
1) When my phone goes into stand-by, the alarm does not go off - just a quiet vibration.
2) The top bar is very, very tiny. It's impossible to click the area to minimize or close the app.

Suggestion: Add soft-keys on the bottom bar, like Menu (close; minimize; about) and Settings on the other side.

I'm using it on:
Sprint HTC Touch Pro; WM6.1pro; VGA screen

thanks a bunch! Great Work!!!!

It's designed to work on all resolutions. But it's only tested in emulators. Please report your reesults here.

No problem for me, just working fine on trinity except the fact that's it's for wwe rom, the cab doen't put the fonts in the "police" folder on my french rom so it made an error. I created a Fonts one to put the .ttf and all works fine. Thanks for sharing.

On my Tytn2 with WM6.1(HTC dutch Rom) it doesnt even start.

I get the following error:

DirectoryNotFoundException

I do have Net CF 3.5 installed.

Won't start on a Touch 3G - it reports "An unexpected error has occurred in TouchWatch2.exe" and "This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device." - which is very unlikely given that this is a brand new handset from HTC with ROM dated October 2008 ?

Congratulations for TouchWatch application! Like it over G-Watch for one main reason, I was able to minimise it to do other stuff.

I'm running it in a TyTN II. Works great.

I've some suggestions:

1. Put icons over the top three locations (Main settings, minimise and close). Users don't need to guess what to do next once they launch the application and they don't read instructions :).

2. Increase the size of the two icons signifying timer and stopwatch (older people like me with poorer eyesight have difficulty distinguishing which is which).

3. Or put the words Timer and Stopwatch above the icons.

4. Possibility to change the background of the application (best is to use three colour slider).

Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Hi. Can you click on details of the error message please. There should be a path which is not found. (for example: \Windows\Fonts)
