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

Wooo!!! man you work fast :O
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!

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!

$me implements both skins within all Free42.zip's
Hi,
i have recently installed the last version coreplayer on the hd, but it seems like the original skin is only up-scaled, as the buttons look rather "unsharp". I'm satisfied with the skin itself (some buttons could be a bit larger though) and don't need special design gimmiks, but a bit better appearance would be nice...
although i've done some google and forum search, it seems to be difficult to find vga skins for that application, and on the developer's site nothing seems to be mentioned about vga or skin download...
so does anybody have a vga skin with full functionality or a link for a skin download?
regards jan
I've been looking for a decent skin for ages but after a bit of searching everything I find is pretty poor. I hope someone can suggest a source for skins because I certainly can't find any nice ones.

I would be satisfied already with the original skin in a proper (w)vga resulution... but the nicer the better...
I got a black skin compatible with HD of this forum but I cannot remember where.
I have attached the file. Unzip and read the .txt file. Credit to the other guy.

Thaks, but i've seen (and tried) this skin earlier...
...first of all it seems to be a qvga skin as well, as the buttons and backgound look the same unsharp like in the original skin,
... in addition that skin doesn't seem to work fully (for me), e.g. the "filter icons" on the left side are not displayed...
... so I hope more people can post links for vga skins...

I am developing one as we speak but it's not easy as they don't even have the standard properly setup yet!
I am picking up a skin that was never finalised... see screenshot
CorePlayer is not the easiest app to skin

I would really appreciate that work. I'd even try myself, but unfortunately I don't have enough time by now to do it... it looks quite complicated and I don't know much about xml...
... the problem with the skins posted on the previous page is that they all seem not to be really vga, as the buttons and the background look quite "unsharp"...
...another problem with some of the black skins on the previous page is that the filters and "current selection" are not nisplayed at all, at least on my device... with other skins it works...
regards and good luck
p.s. if you just need some help creating the buttons and other graphic elements in vga, feel free to ask me for support
Here is a little teaser
After an hour or so here is a very basic skin - it needs ALOT of work it's NOT FULLY FINISHED so when I get time I will polish it off nicely...
Looks a darn site better than the default one though.
Unzip it drop it in program files/coreplayer
Should keep your eyes happier while I try to get to grips with the XML
that looks really nice already... is the skin now a real vga one or an expanded qvga one?
the search bar for youtube doesn't work (at least on my hd), several functions are still completely missing (but you've written that in youir post)... but once again: great work, looks really nice already... if you need assistance creating vga buttons let me know...

I tried at 196 DPI (native to phone) which gave the best result although txt was too small so this one is at 96 DPI... still need to look through XML properly to work out alignment txt size etc in order to make 196 dpi thumb friendly (text was just too small)

would be great if you could make it look (and work) nice on 196 dpi... I haven't found any skin yet which is capable of that... you'd be my hero ;-)

CPS, what FONT are you using on your device and how did you install it? looks nice
CPS nice work so far. This skin would be cool. Good luck with development, I'll happily test it for you.
Wish I could help, but have no idea about it.
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.

Can not search on Youtube also
can this be used on the touch pro?? i know its the blackstone section but this is the first vga designed skin i have seen for coreplayer and i desperately need this lol, ill hold out a little longer for a finished version
thanx
I would really like this as well, it's looking very nice! I'll keep an eye on this for the finished product, keep it up!

probably in the next 48 hours or less. I suppose it is similar to that but i have never really seen that one in action. Mine has a lot of different screens with different navigation icons on each depending on waht screen youa re on. I also dont like sounds with WAD2 very much because they are always a little delayed. I did obtain the windows 7 icon pack so am too using actual icons but of course ther arent always icons for everything you want to do so I have created some myself. I am still creating some docks and buttons to increase functionality as well so HOPEFULLY i will have enough free tim ebetween work and my family to get it out the door and up on swampthing. stay tuned
Looking forward to this one! Does the disc spin round?
added some updated screenshots to the first post

No, i havent dived into Mortscropt yet which would probably make that possible. For now just the buttons press
cant wait !
wow man, this looks cool, cant wait until the release !!
I have found a limitation of WAD2 that involves to many docs in a theme. I emailed everyone who purchased and downloaded this theme from me so let me know if you didnt get the email. I made a new version wihtout the WAD2 limitation.
Pointui Home 2 is Out.
Not testing yet, i just install it, but looks prety great!
http://www.pointui.com/
Runs and looks great, but things i dont like:
- Too much space at the buttom and
- i had to install it on the internal storage and not on the SD Card
But the rest is, as i said before, great. Good work i think.
Finally!
Looks and feels great - I think I would def upgrade to pro for unified messaging etc.
I am a happy bunny! Might just have to ditch touch flo 3d
Dont work for me Have a Swedish stock ROM.
runs great!!!
well it was running good until it locked up my device lol, soft reset time
I dont like it, something is missing
It looks really great and the animations are smooth. But it misses some features but I think they will come some time because it seems rather easy to write Apps for it. Not like Manila where you have many problems with adding your own stuff.

customization? not even unicode fonts
a thin layer of candy eye skin and after one touch...back to the old WM really, nothing to trade the tf3d for...uninstalled it after 15 minutes!

unfortunately none of that works. Even the folks on the forum are having problems. Looks like it isnt working correctly yet.... but it is still considered beta so ....... modding those files only makes all the weather disappear Guess I will wait on this one for a bit

yes going to have to agree here. I am open to trying out new versions, definitely has potential with some additions and things you mentioned
No Thanks
I was a massive fan of PointUI v1 and had been looking forward to v2 being another huge step forward.
However, I have to say that it looks like a great big bag of crap next to TF3d (and I'm not a big fan of TF3d). Furthermore it seems to have limited functionality, is only a plugin and although it openly states it is a beta, the tone of the feedback in this site is distinctly mixed.
I think I would forgive the bugginess if it just looked better and brought something I thought was useful. But even the screenshots on PointUI's own site look poor quality.
Lastly, the 'Pro' version is paid for software - so how much? What will it do that Mobile Shell and WAD don't? Maybe the applet development will make it a must have...but it certainly needs a few good skinners on the case...
In summary...disappointed - just my personal opinion

Agreed. Not impressed at all...I'm sticking with WAD.
mmm
Yup aggred , instaled it .. and it was not as " smoth " as the 1.X, why have small buttons?.. why have news feeds?
I have a theme now for TF3D and it kinda looks goods... staying with that for a while .. sorry point guys
I quite like it, but it seems that I'm in the minority.
I've added my home town to the weather applet without any trouble at all, also local news in the today feed. Not sure why someone was having a problem configuring that. Pilot error?

It is hardcoded. I have the same problem on my dutch device.It doesn't find the install path on localized devicesI didn't see any icon neither.
So I started it manually.
