Very nice little app! Maybe, integration with Diamond Tweak by Montecristoff (in order to set your prog, as a left soft panel at Manila), could be interesting!

Thank you for your work.

 

[maxpain]

nice app

could you add option to choose appointment date from month view ? (by one finger tap) ?

f.e. insted 3 first scrolling buttons

thanx for your work

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm working to integrate this app with standard Calendar. I think the better solution is to replace default "new appointment" form with my application when you click on "new appointment" of the Agenda menu.

Great Work & Thanks for Sharing.....

Just installed and already tried it - works really well Thanks for sharing your hard work......

It would be great if this could be either made into a stand-alone Tab or even linked in with the work D-Man666 has already done on the Calendar Tab????

Good luck and keep it comming!

I'm not sure to understand... (sorry for my bad english)
All the "^" button decrease values (ex. day 9 to 8, houre 12 to 11...) and all the fields (day, mounth, year...) are totally indipendents.

Really useful nice app. Many thanks.

I attached it to left key of Second Today and launching it instead of standard Calendar from this place.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Open="Program Files\GekoNewCal\GekoNewCal.exe"

Then soft reset.
I'm thinking of adding it to "Exclude" in task manager for launching it quickly, but dunno if it would drain much battery when in background.

 

[El_Mariachi]

Lovely app!

 

[crocodile010]

Update.
I tried to exclude the app from removing it from memory but "Cancel" option always shuts this app regardless if it is on "exclude" list or not.

Thanks for your feedback, crocodile010!

Yes, you are right, I defined that "Cancel" button shuts the application to reduce battery and memory usage.
If is more useful I can change this behavior in the next version, maybe with a messagebox that ask "Close or hide" app.

 

[koven]

Maybe integrate it with the calendar tab in manila

I think that as few messageboxes as possible is essential as this app really should help to adding appointments in hurry. No need to click more boxes than necessary.

Maybe the suggested option with adding it to exclude list will be enough to let everyone choose if he wants to close it after every use or keep it in memory.

But again, well done.

What do you think of adding some annimation to the wheel? Like maybe flicking the wheel and showing it spinning through the dates?

The ability to set an alarm or noise and how far in advance to alert of the appointment?

Length of appointments definable.

Reoccuring appointments. Categories. Status. Attendees.

The ability to set the back ground.

Integration with OEM calendar.

These are just ideas. Thought you might be looking for a little brain storming.

 

[Riel]

This is the simple version, when you need more you have more time and use original inputs?

 

[detroix]

yay finally a great looking calendar input app...

was getting sick and tired of missing the drop box and the retarded response on the wm6 platform..

well done!

i wan it on the tf3d!!!

 

[dickenz]

If you could cover tasks, appointments and to-do's and then integrate it with the standard calendar's data and maybe even integrate it with the Calendar tab from D-MAN666 then I think it would be pretty much a MUST HAVE app.

 

[giangishanghai]

great looking and very simply!
nice work, thanks a lot!
ciao

Localization

I tried to find with WinCe cabmanager but don't find answer which file is contains language information?
I suppose it's hard coded in .exe file and it's pictures...
Could I ask you to translate it if I send you translation to russian for each of description?
Thank's forward

To make it work with Fabil Action Screen 9 Btn Diamond v6 just make this overpatching:
HCLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_3\Path and overwrite \windows\poutlook.exe to \internal storage\Program Files\GekoNewCal\GekoNewCal.exe please note that internal storage is directory there you install GekoNewCal and if you install it on device just exclude it from the path that i describe.

- Animations are planned for the next versione, I'm working on it...
- I'm working also on recurring and alarm, but my goal is to keep the app very easy and light.

Thanks for your feedback.
