WVGA layout for Free42 available (beta version)

I lack a good RPN calculator on Blackstone, so I have done a WVGA layout for Free42 HP-42 simulator, available for Pocket PC (see http://free42.sourceforge.net/).
This is a beta version, but quite usable. Display is not exactly on scale, and display color need to be changed. Annunciator bitmaps are not present.
Maybe other member can ameliorate this layout.
Just unzip WVGA42.zip in Free42 directory, and select WVGA42 layout. Have fun !

Despite this seems to interest nobody , I post an updated version of WVGA layout for Free42.
Annunciator are present, diplay better colored and centered.
There is still room for amelioration, but this version deserve a "V1.0", not beta anymore.
Have fun ! (really !)

Looks good - will check it out

Been a long time since I've used a proper scientific calculator, but a very nice skin! Much more useful than the basic calculator in WM, now I just have to learn to use it

Even with an honours degree in mechanical engineering, I still don't understand reverse Polish notation nor why anybody would use an RPN calculator. I guess your audience for this work is very small which is why you had no responses...

as fast as I get my THD i will test it, it's just what I'm looking for.
many thanks

thanks! this was the high res skin i was looking for to use on an HTC Diamond 2. Works perfectly

Thank very much, good for HD2.

Another possible reason for lack of response is that it should have been posted in the Touch HD Themes and Apps forum which is where I've moved it

Possible i can skin it to dusk with the original grafics. I will take a look today, but there is no time before march.
I have todo so many work in my day job until then. But it is possible i will do it and publish them here and in my dusk thread...

I was hoping to find this some day..
Your WVGA v1 skin looks awesome! Thank you very much!

[THE] Coreplayer alpha skin (test file available))

Guys,
Here is a basic Coreplayer skin it's a work in progress... I still have to skin other parts of the app it needs alot of work but still looks better and is more fitting with HD than the default one.
Unzip and drop it in Prgram Files/Coreplayer
I still need to get to grips with the XML.

Really nice, thank you!!!

awesome, i'm really kinda OCD about things matching. so much so that i don't have coreplayer installed on my phone purely because of the way it looks. this has got it back on my phone. thanks very much.
mass

very nice, good work mate.

Really nice. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the final result....

OT: Is it possible to have the windows top and bottom glossy bars (as shown in your screenshot) as well? I have tried to make them black AND glossy, but the best i can obtain is an ugly grey...

nice thanks

The skin works nicely with the following exceptions:
When in the media library with your skin activated, there is no longer a "Genre" search criteria available
When changing the equalizer, there in no longer a close button to exit out of the settings screen.

Iphone Theme

I just checked out this website...
http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/theme.php
This theme looks pretty good to replicate the iphone.
Has anyone had any experience using this, also can anyone recommend anything better?

Ok, i have read through the link thanks, but there is alot of people complaining about it for a good reason, granted. But does anyone actually have a link to all of the collaborated free software?

You can get from here
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/ifonz.shtml

try Mallman's stuff at www.swampthing.net
I have used it and works pretty well.
it also runs on WAD2

Excellent thanks for the links guys, very helpful.
Whats the big difference in the ifonz and swampthings software?
I mean there is one sitting there for free, or there is one where I would have to spend $15 on the WAD, then $2.50 on the program?

Thanks or the advertising lol. As for the freeware ifonz theme, you can certainly use this but you will need to mod it just a little. There are qvga and vga versions, not Wvga. If youa re looking for the most inexpensive way to get an iphone theme this is the way to go.... you will just have to resize the icons and such. Should work fine though.
Not sure what engine this uses because all of mine use WAD2. Looks interesting though. I would say try ifonz first and if it meets yoru needs you haven't spent a dime I am going to try it as well and see what i can do with it

ok i have downloaded the vga version and installed it. See screenshot. The only real complaint I have is that it runs pretty bad. Not unusable but the motions are not fluid. I think I see the files that make it work and it seems you could probably modify these files yourself to get better quality icons. The real benefit to using this is you save the $15 on WAD2. Of course anyone who uses WAD2 would probably admit it is the best thing since sliced bread if you want to customize your interface.
However, this is free and it pretty neat. I say give it a try before you do anything else. If it completely suites your needs then you are all set guys. For the record, i think it has a lot of potential. I will be toying with it a little in the future.

As the author of WAD2, i wouldn't recommend the theme above. There is a reallly good, high-quality iPhone theme for WAD2 by a user called "Torx" in our forums. It's not VGA (at least, not the last time I checked), but it is free and a better quality than the one linked to at the top of this thread.

agreed for the quality reasoning. I would recommend buying WAD2 for tha treason. I was only suggesting the above for the free factor. But, you get what you pay for.

Not greatly impressed with ifonz, so when i get some cash, will be buying WAD2 and the swampthing theme.

purchased!

Im very very impressed, good theme.
Just wondering how to link my own applications to each of the iphones on screen buttons?
For instance calculator, weather etc...?
does it run better with TF3d disabled?

yes it runs free and clear of TF3d, it is a total replacement for TF3D. You can change any of the links the buttons link too by tap/hold any spot on the screen that is empty. Select author mode. Now tap/hold the button you want to change and select properties. Select script. Edit the script. Enjoy You can also find this detail in the swampthing FAQ at:

Thank you for you sharing... now i can change the pic i want !!

neat implementation. Any idea how to make it work on the email/SMS slector page? I see it works to create a background if you open an individual email/text but it doesn't impact the page that shows all texts/emails. Any thoughts on that? Thanks - an great work so far.

Is there a reason your using three times the same backdrop, instead of pointing to only one graphic in the html and CSS?
The Compose SMS htm was missing a few lines that made it incompatible with 6.1, you can test if it works in yours.

it support 6.1 or 6.5 please or just in original rom?

im using it on wm6.1. on the official SE r3 rom (uk), works fine. about your first question, these are base on ahem white brick wall background and he made the html & css file. Also if u decide to make your own u can make the 3 backgrounds different i think (have never tested it).

could u un-tick the system files box in the properties as i always have problems getting system files to show on my laptop.

Here are all the Files for Mail SMS etc.
I made it so it should only use one Graphic.
Hopefully their of use to you.
For some reason copying them manually breaks stuff, but making and installing a cab works

the images are all 480x800 but when i made picture of a girl it seemed to cut the image (maybe where the sms screen does not use the whole screen) thats why i only used textures in my cabs. what cab are u using? or are u using your own pic?

ok, i will make a cab but as i answered on the post above it may not come out properly, thats why i only use texture like pics.
ps. i have made the cab, but the pic u gave me was very low res. give it a try and tell me how it comes. if u can fine a higher res pic it would look better.

oooops...

[APP][RELEASE] Metro Calculator - a simple WP7 style calculator

Hi,
in the meantime while working on my new UI (it's getting harder and harder...) I've made a simple Windows Phone 7 style calculator. It's a kind of preview of how I'd like my new interface to look like.
I hope you like it
Currently only for VGA (although it should work fine on WVGA). The cab includes the new Segoe WP font.
Code:
[B]Changelog[/B]
[I]0.9.0 - 25.06.2010:[/I]
- first release (VGA)
[I]01.07.2010:[/I]
- all resolutions supported

Is it possible to skin the HTC calc to Metro so you get all of the landscape and mathmatic benefits with the same UI?

Sure, why not.

hey, that looks really nice! Cant wait to get that on my xperia x1, with spb mobile shell Windows phone 7 stlye, would perfectly fit!

Very nice App! Looks good!
Can't wait to test it

Sorry for the delay, but I did not realise how advanced can a simple calculator be I've implemented all the functions of a standard calculator and it took me some time to get it all right. I hope to release it today evening, so stay tuned.

Released!
Any bug reports or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks a lot.
Will write about this

I'd like to test it but unfortunately there's no qvga-version.
Do you plan to make one?
That would be very nice!

orb3000, great, thanks!
jonas9398, right now I'm working on my own interface but maybe if I get some spare time I'll do the other resolutions.

Hey, this looks like a great little app!
I tested on WVGA, it doesn't fill the screen so that's that tested and also the buttons are standard WM buttons, see screenshot attached.
This is using EnergyROM which has edited WM buttons so I'm not sure if that affects it or not.

Well, making the WVGA version means only changing the layout so the buttons fill all the screen I'll try to find some time during the next few days to do that.
I did not realise that the WM buttons can be changed... Nevertheless it look quite good with those rounded buttons

Woo!!! Always glad when something's simple lol.
Yeah it does look pretty good with these, it's the only ROM I've seen with buttons that aren't the flat "grey" ones, maybe ask NRGZ how he did it?
Thanks again for this!

Update in the first post, all resolutions are now supported

Just one suggestion, could you maybe add haptic feedback? It feels weird to not have it. It's not big problem, just would be nice

Dzięki -fajny kalkulatorek !!!

Gr8 man !!!!
lovely dude i like it keep up the good work

Looks terrific and it matches the SPB Mobile Shell WP7S theme beautifully but the calculator doesn't seem to be able to recognize the comma as a decimal place. I'd like to use this as my shopping calculator but without being able to enter decimal places I cant use it for that. Great app, though, hope this bug can be sorted out.

Thanks for the report, but could you give me an example? I didn't notice any bug so it would be good to reproduce it so I could see what's wrong

No Blue
I got the calculator on my HTC Imagio, but the button background is white, not blue. I even double checked the settings. Any help or info would be appreciated!
