I have two programs that I am trying to create a shortcut for. One is GPSToday. The other is Weather Panel. I looked through Windows registry and both program registries using Total Commander. Can't seem to find the .exe that launches either program. The goal is to add both programs to the Quick Launcher tab. Can an executable be created where none exist? Also, can a shortcut be created so that I can launch both programs from the programs menu? Neither program registers in the programs menu.
Sorry, Im still a noob, but ive playin around with making shortcuts & I find that if its Not in windows, the .exe is most likely in \Program Files\ "app name" , or Storage Card\Prog Files\"app name". Placing a link in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs should make it available on the Programs screen(page, launcher, whatever), and also should be on the list of quick launcher apps from the today screen. Not familiar with the ones you mentioned, tho.
Allright, I Knew I saw that somewhere (I check the freeware sites couple times a week). So the version I downloaded suggested installing on the device instead of the storage card.There IS an .exe in there, but clicking it does nothing. Maybe since its a today plugin, there is no launchable exe. ? only at start-up ? There definitely should be another way to run it. Cool app, but screws up all my icons.

Both GPSToday & WeatherPanel are today plugins, not applications. Both must be run from the plugin itself. Sometimes, adding a parameter to the link, which would be a simple text doc name <name>.lnk, can do the trick. But, this is not a simple shortcut you create through a file explorer. Your probably trying to access the map in GPSToday, which I highly doubt is possible. WeatherPanel will only show on your today screen.
11/17/08: Version 0.31 of hgToday
Bugfix
Added hgColors 0.3 config file in zip archive. This makes it possible to change the font size of the list, and the height of the individual list items.
11/10/08: Version 0.3 of hgToday
Updated to work with the latest version of Christec's framework
Rewritten list control (loosely based on KListControl)
Removed buttons on top, menus included in popup menu, moving to next/previous day through finger movement.
New popup menu is now scrollable with finger.
New datepicker, more fingerfriendly.
Skinning with bitmaps has been removed in order to reduce memory usage.
Colors can still be changed.
9/11/08: Version 0.2
Added the program hgColors to make it possible to customize all colors.
Added the option of seeing all appointments and all tasks together.
Bugfix for the calendar dialog (got stuck on the screen sometimes).
9/5/08:
Added hgAgenda to the files below. This is the standalone full screen version of hgToday. It also has some more images for skinning.
Also added some more screenshots.
Earlier:
hgToday
This is a small fingerfriendly plugin I've put together for my todayscreen. I use it as one of my views in my Homescreen++ setup (prev. BatteryStatus). It can also be used as a regular today plugin.
hgToday will show you the current appointments and all tasks not completed with a due date on or before today, or with a start date on or before today (i.e. all tasks that should be worked on).
The list can be scrolled with a finger.
If doubleclicked, it will mark the item completed.
To view the task, hold the finger long enough for item to be selected and popupmenu to show, tapping view will take you to the default calendar/task application for editing and viewing.
Scroll left or right for next/previous day.
Skinning
This can be done with hgColors. Just click on the various items, choose save, and restart hgToday.
Both list height and item height can be changed.
Font size can also be changed, although if too large, the day will be mixed with the description.
The file hgColors must be in the same directory as hgToday or hgAgenda.
Future plans:
More fingerfriendly editing, entering new items.
Update hgAgenda to 0.3.
+??
To install hgAgenda:
Just unzip the files to any directory - can be used on a storage card too.
To install hgToday:
Must be installed to main memory.
1) Uninstall previous version of "ChrisTec Managed Today Screen Item Framework" and hgToday.
2) Unzip and install the "ChrisTec Managed Today Screen Item Framework" (see separate copyright notice).
3) Copy hgToday.dll to the same directory where the ChrisTec Framework is installed (normally "Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework").
4) Go into settings, Today, Items: and make sure the "Managed Items" is checked.
Thanks to dosfan for his KListControl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333124)
I don't take any responsibility for the problems this program might cause on your device, but it seems to work for me on a smartphone running Microsoft Mobile 6.
I value comments, but can't promise anything,.
Hope it can be useful for other people.
Great software calendar .. thank you veru much for this release
any "working" screenshot please ?
Im not able to get working on Sprint Touch 6.1. I had the HGplugin showing in the settings/home/items. I then closed out and went back in and its gone. I have tried to reinstall a few times with no luck.
Screenshots
I'm sorry, but I didn't know that you had to have a url to post a screenshot. Therefore the small bmp file.

Sorry about your problems.
Did you try going into the registry to see that the height is correct? Do you have other plugins? Can you run the file hgToday.exe directly? Can you try to put a checkmark in the today settings for Managed items?
It doesn't work. The item doesn't appear in settings/home/items. I tried to open the executable and I get an error: Null reference exception.

Have behavior here. item not showing in today setting. launching the exe returns this error.
hgToday.exe
NullReferenceException

updated plugin
It seems my app was based on an early version of "ChrisTec Managed Today Screen Item Framework".
So I've attached that version in my first post. That should the program run. I have had it on my device for about a month now.
However, I probably should upgrade my app to take advantage of the newer version of the framework. The reason I didn't do that in the first place, was because it used an exe file that could be run by itself. The newer version requires a dll file.
It works good on my Kaiser - thanks.
Screenshot? I can't see anything on that small 1x1 pic!

Did you see post #8?
It's quite similar to the gslide file explorer (we use the same list control), except hgToday doesn't have to be full screen.
I'm also hoping to release a non-plugin version later today.
Feedback: ))
the viewing options of all appointment and all tasks and so on are wonderful. also the option to change the height..
the scrolling thing is VERY important and useful..
the gray background is heavy on the eyes... i'd make it compatible with the tsk.. that is, transparent.
an option to view all appointments+all tasks is important in my eyes... for day to day use..
thank you so much.. i'm using your thing instead of Calendar+ now
Thanks!

The color scheme is based on the system colors, i.e. the list takes it's color from the active caption color. I'm planning skinning in a future version. As for now, in order to have a different background when there is no selection, you can add an image file called noselect.png (similar to the select.png file) and the program will show that for the list items, instead of the current background. However, the app will use a lot more resources that way. That's why I'd like to make some configuration file to store colors and other stuff.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, because the program should show all appointments AND all tasks on the screen for today or other chosen days.

Added hgAgenda, the full screen standalone version of hgToday.
This can be run as a separate program.
Also included some more screenshots.
See first post.
I should probably do some version numbering. Any ideas?

With the way the program is written, that would not be possible. What can be done, is to have all the appointments first and then all the tasks, but I assume you mean you want it sorted by date. To accomplish that, I have to do a complete rewrite of the program.
Right now I am working on a settings app so that all colors can be easily configured by the user.

even having tasks after appointments would be great.
and of course having it arranged by date would be even better, but i understand it can be hard to accomplish. thanks.
btw, it's very very useful and i'm enjoying it.
New version 0.2

New version with all appointments and all tasks on one screen.
Also skinning via separate program.
See more details in first post.
Guys, I running the aforementioned OS and if you go to Celetask and hit (1) A and then (7) New Task and then Path and scroll down and select TextNotes it launches HTC Quick Notes for Smartphones which is awesome and I was able to put a shortcut in Start Menu via Resco Explorer but when I try to use Chome Configurator to setup a new panel via Application Launcher it does not show up, this is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, and I even found a killer icon to setup a Sliding Panel but I need someones expertise on this matter, I would greatly appreciate some tutoring on this issue. Check out the icon below, isn't cool hi-res from www.iconspedia.com
I dont understand how you can not create a action url to text notes.
Create a new page under settings or any another panel.
\Windows\textnotes.exe
I've tried but it does not show up in the listed applications under Chome Configurator, I double swear ! but you can teach me how, please
Thanks, I got it, I did not know you can use the other options to select whatever you want.
I've set Notes (the default handwriting scribble app!) to my right soft key by editing the registry. When I launch it, it says "cannot open note" but then runs fine.
Presumably this is because an argument is being passed - but I don't know what to send it. All I want to do is open Notes, or open Notes and create a new one.
Anyone know what argument/command line should be passed please?
I'm doing it thru Manila but I assume the arguments are the same for any launcher.
Current registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeRSKArguments"="\"\""
"HomeRSKText"="Notes"
"HomeRSKPath"="\\Windows\\notes.exe"
I'm running Valyries Xperio 4.7 rom on my Xperia X1.
That uses the HTC task manager, and i want to be able to open it relatively easy in my home screen or with a softkey.
I set up the softkey, but that doesn't work since it returns an error, probably because it tries to open the standard task manager or something like that, and i'm not able to select the HTC task manager since its in the windows folder named TaskManagerApp.exe.
So i thought, lets make a panel in the home screen for the task manager with the CHome editor that was included in the rom.
I tried some things, but i'm not to good at that, can anyone tell me how to do it, or point me in the right direction?
I searched around, but i couldn't find out if someone had made anything similar before.
cheers!
