[WIDGET] TxMissed 0.2 - minimalistic unread sms / missed calls / email notification

TxMissed - unread sms / missed calls / unread emails widget

Hello,
i want to contribute with my first widget. It's text based notification widget. Inform you about unread messages or missed calls. Support verbose number (like 1 = one, 5 = five etc.). Very customizable - color, sizes, text format, bold, stroke ... If chosen font does not fit to area, it will be automatically resized to smaller one, which fits. Personally, I use it at Widget Locker screen, so I can easily see count of unread messages. Tested on HTC Desire (Froyo) and emulator (Froyo + Gingerbread)

Ideas, suggestion
I'm open to any suggestions and yours ideas, how to improve this widget. Thanks :)

Recomendation
If you already have version 0.1.2 and want to upgrade to 0.2, please uninstall old version first! New version has different settings system and its not compatible with old one, so it would probably cause application crash.

Hi, could you provide me some closer information?

Will widget crash after adding to home or just nothing happened?
Is it posible, that you have unchecked both "Show zero counts" config options? In that case, widget is "invisible" until some events come (new sms/miss call)
Is service running properly? (Settings->Applications->Running services->TxMissed)

Personaly have HTC Desire on LeeDroid 2.3d with no problem.

Appriciate this bug report, Thank you very much for informations

It's OK now, I found the problem, I should do modification (font, color etc) one by one and not all in the same time !

I really like your app ! Thanks a lot

Works great on my myTouch 4G with Froyo. I am still playing with it though, so we'll see if it continues.

Added bug report function, if you experienced crashes, please report it from configuration menu, thanks :)

Please add gmail functionality. :) Thanks very much, nice widget.

I'm on Ginger bread and see this app is fairly new. I looked in the market first, now seeing this is new. I'll a wait for more updates as I can't seem to get the app to work just yet, on my Evoerolv Gingerbread rom. I'll fuss with it some more, as I can't wait for future updates!
