Hi guys,
if somebody wants to have translation in his native language in version 0.2 and be able to translate from english/czech, just PM me and I will send you XML to translate. All translators will be "honored" with simple "thanks dialog" (see attachments for example), which will appear on language change.
Have a nice day ...

1: Nice job
2: If you want a spanish translator, Im up for it
3: Would a graphics alternative be possible?
Ill explain below
This would represent the home screen or the lock screen (after thinking it, I think the lock screen is better):
This is a representation of course; I know it isnt Android but imagine that being a Android home screen or better yet the lock screen.
Now a missed call:
As you see it shows a icon, saying the number of missed calls, and if one or from the same person, the name or number of the person. And below the time of the last missed called.
Now a message:
Basically the same concept.
Now why I say the lock screen. On most modern Androids, you have to do the slide to unlock motion to unlock or a combination of that. If you press the power button, the lock screen shows with the screen still be locked. With this graphic alternative, you can simply press the power button with your screen locked and see if you have a message or a missed call and from who and at what time without having to unlock your phone.
Thanks for the great work

Thank you so much for this widget. I actually prefer it over SMS unread count now.
Hoping for gmail integration, that would be awesome!
Is there also an option for italic font or did I just miss it? I know there's an option for bold font.

Great !
While testing translation, I have wrote a little feature request list:
- Ability to set the same font/color/... for all key/number
- Translated output format
This one is more a technical question than a feature request:
- Is it possible to add the ability to check unread gmail email count directly from the google system account rather to check a Gmail imap server ? (Maybe as some widget seems to do, or like Launcher Pro icons)
Thanks for all your work.

News
Hi,
first answer the question about gmail:
Communication with internal Gmail app is possible, but since this app is not freeware and open source, it is hard to find way to their data ... But if somebody of you find a tutorial or source, how to get unread count from internal Gmail app, is possible to rewrite part of code responsible for periodic email check.
and also I have good news and bad news ... So good news first.
I found out how to store different settings for multiple widget instances, so now its possible to have two widgets - one for messages, one for calls - for example ...
And the bad news ...
I have to focus on school and my new job, so I won't be able to add more new features in future. But I want to fix so many bugs I can and you find.
Hope, you undestand me

43TxMissed - 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)
Screenshots

Features
- Size of widget is 4x1

- English, Czech, French(DocUHT), German(swiadek) and Spanish(riahc3) localization

- 12 Mar - DEVELOPMENT STOPPED!! Reason: No free time. Any volunteers to continue in my work are welcomed. Sorry guys ...
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.1
No problem with that, it doesn't take much work to do ... added to "wish list" for next versions1
I'm sorry, I have not much time - school, job etc. Hardly have few hours a week to fix bugs. So I don't think it would be possible in near future. I can add it to todo list and if will be some free time in my schedule, I will do it, but no promises!1Hi All,
I'm currently developing a widget with much of the features of TxMissed:
- It currently reports number of missed calls, unread SMS and unread messages on the main phone's account (the gmail account).
- Customization of font and background color and transparency. Also font faces (can use fonts stored in external SD card).
- Customization of the layout (alignments, padding, etc).
- Text messages can be customized to show whatever phrase you want.
And more features I have currently planned to include.
I hope to upload a first version here at XDA in one or two days, after I can test it a bit more, so stay tuned if you are interested.
