Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a theme generator application available which runs on the device itself? Preferably PPC 2003 compliant.
I would like to be able to create themes on the device itself, since I'm not always carrying my laptop around, and I'd like to be able to create some themes using pictures I've taken with the onboard camera.
Therefore I don't have the need to transfer the images ot my laptop, create a theme from there, and subsequently transfer the theme back to the device.
If such an application does not exist, then I will try to create my own

Uh, yes, but maybe you didn't quite understand my question...
I know how to create PPC2003 themes from my laptop, but I want to be able to create them on my MDA-II, without the need of using an additional computer running a theme generating software utility
And for this need, I haven't found a proper result using the search
I found it already, so forget my last post
TKCreator is indeed a theme generator for PPC, but I found it quite inadequate (no image resizeing/cropping/scaleing, not being able to set background colors for notes/inbox) but other options are well implemented though (the UI for instance is quite intuitive)
But since I still miss some important options, I will look further, or give it a shot and develop a PPC-version of a theme generator
yeah maybe you'd have to i dont think too many theme developers would like to work with such a limited size screen
which is prob why there are not more tools which does that
maybe you could even sell it

Maybe you've got a point there... In my case, I'm often on the road, and I do not carry my laptop with me all the time. Especially when I occasionally travel by train, I'd like to create a theme using my MDA.
Maybe I'm a rare specie, and this is probably why there are not more equivalent tools So selling it would not be an option I guess, I'd rather give it away for free to the few hardcore (or masochist? ) theme-designers
hhhmmpp free you say!
next you'll be sharing the source with people who have an interest
bill gates is not angry with you
he's just disappointed!

Hahaha, he might be
But thinking of it, the need for an application like this is quite low, as opposed to an app like PocketZenPhone -- now THAT should be sold to Microsoft! -- so I will first deliver it as a freeware tool
MTUX SideX has a module called "ThemeX" which, among other things, has an on-device theme designer.

Ive searched the forums and the web for audiobook players, and not had much luck. Ive recently found someone who has written something for a pocketpc, but only posted the source code.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/abcPlayer.aspx
If anyone else is interested in a player, and has the ability to compile the source code (i believe you need VS2008), and can produce a cab file that will work on a LEO, I would be most grateful.
It may be quite a useful app for others that want an audiobook player, and I believe the author has allowed the use of it for further development.
The zip file on that page already contains the compiled executable. Look under bin\release. Just copy all the files (dlls, exe, skins, etc.) to your device and run it, you don't need a CAB.

Could you please upload the zip file? I'd rather not have to register to yet another site just to DL thia and try it out.

well it's not too difficult to register to that service.
but well I can understand you
here is the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/328172883/abPlayer.zip

Thanks!! I'll give it a try. I've been using S2P until now but it is less than perfect for audiobooks. Hopefully, this will be better as it is specifically designed for this purpose.
Motisu, did u have any luck running it? I managed to run it, but it doesnt display any of the icons. Just block graphics, without skins. It must see the skin directory, otherwise it complains the directory is missing, but doesnt use it.

Yes, I've been using it exclusively for my audiobooks ever since I DL'ed it. The only complaint that I have with it is that in order to rew/ff within the file, I have to bring up a different page and then go back to the play page. In S2P, I just have to tap the screen to bring up the position bar. Other than that, it is really a great app.
BTW,to answer your question, yes I do have the Icons but the text is a bit oversized. I am running this on a TP2 with a WVGA screen and a larger than regular text so the font is a bit too large
I use CorePlayer. It works fine for me and always has.
is there a program out there to make a favorite/bookmark into a cab file so it will install as a .ink or program file? my whole idea is to make a bunch for things like fedex/ups tracking, store locators, and random rss feeds and some random websites for easy access. i want to make a folder in my start menu for these and iconize them to look like apps. thanks in advance. i am 100% willing to share my work if i can get the program and i am willing to take on custom orders.
Something like this i found long ago
The only ways I know of are either making a Widget or Making an exe that browses the site like I believe that starbucks one is. I did something similar for YouMail In visual studio.

the starbucks.cab actually creates an .ink file that when launched, directs you to the store locator page on their site. i downloaded it probably 2 years ago and i forgot from where. it is exactly what i am looking to create. i dont want to make wigets because they take up alot more space than an .ink file. as you can see, this cab is a measly 12k and wigets can be 100k+.
I opened the cab in WinCe Cab Manager and it has an exe in it and also a shortcut its not hard to make one of these the exe is still very small mine for you mail is 22kb and it has a few feautures but it just gets the job done.
ive never used visual studio in my life, but i learn new software very quickly. let me know which version of visual studio i should use for wm6.5 wvga and i will get it crackin and pump out exes all weekend
btw with everyone looking at this thread, leave comments on which sites you would like me to create, like i said i got all weekend to work on this...
visual studio 2008 you kinda have to know a lil visual basic or some programming language you can now add 6.5 and 6.5.3 sdk's to visual studio.
cool im bout to start working on it now. thanks!
just downloaded vs 08. im reading all kind of tutorials ive found about it to make exes. lets see how long it will take me to figure this out
Are we talking like IE or Opera or something else?
Because for IE it's easy, you have Windows\Favorites and file name is what ie uses for name and inside is like
[InternetShortcut]
URL=ht+tp://something/
without the + of course

ok im stuck, please someone help if you can. i looked for a wm template for vsb8 to make exes and i cant find one, so i basically reverse engineered the starbucks app i uploaded to see if i can just switch out the site and icon and i cant. credit and appreciation is granted to anyone who helps out!
{SBR}_L3GION, thanks for the jumpstart on this. unfortunatly after 5 days of trying to get a template for wince exes, i had no luck. like i said before, i dont know a damn thing about vsb8 and i tried to learn and failed, so i am ceasing production with these. it was good while it lasted. again thanks.
for an easier approach, try using link creator from freewarepcoketpc.net. paired with an icon changer. you can grab any favorite you have saved and make a link to it in the start menu, then use icon changer to make a high def. icon. use iconpedia, they have awesome icons for free!

I don't really understand why you want an .exe, when a simple .lnk file will work just fine.
Anyone know of anyway or app to edit a pdf file and add a signature to it? Best example, anyone had to get a fax from insurance company, sign it, then fax it?? I have tried a few on the market but can't.. then had an idea of getting the photoshop app and adding that signature but I guess it won't open pdf extensions or try to convert it jpeg or so, make that edit, then convert it back to pdf and send my file just wanted something on the go if I am not around a fax or comp.. thank you.

Finding the correct app is not the problem, it's the format. Unfortunately most PDF's cannot be changed or edited unless you manage to find an editable pdf.

What he is describing is adding an image as a layer on the pdf, which is actually fairly simple to do programatically. If he wanted to digitally sign the pdf or edit text it would be harder.
Really the only challenge I can see is the viewer for placing the image. Taking a png or jpg and putting it at a specified coordinate on an unlocked pdf is easy. All you would need is a subset of itext. (the digital signature stuff in itext would probably cause issues in android thus the subset.)
it would be a little kludgy but you might be able to do it using an annotation in repligo; then run a separate program to replace the annotation with the specified image.
All that said, I have not looked at pdf manipulation on android before. There might be something that already does it (repligo would be my bet if anything) or itext may use too much memory since it does create a map of the pdf in memory. You might need to subclass parts and make a pdfreader that only stores the appropriate xref tables.
I am on a non compete with my prior company right now and can't write anything involving pdf manipulation without violating it. If someone does want to write it though I would be happy to give pointers.
Thank you janetpanic repligo is what I was looking for.. to add freehand drawing for a signature. This is gonna be useful

I'm looking for an application where I can add my own recipes and generate shopping lists. I'd like one that I can use on my computer and then transfer the data through cable, wireless, or even busybox. Anyone seen anything like that? I'd pay for the app. As many as there are out there, it astounds me that such a application wouldn't be available...if worth money (DEV's!).
Anyway...any help would be great!
I use an app called Recipes. I think it has all if not most of what you're looking for
You may be thinking of "Allreipes". It doesn't have a way to work with your PC...at least not that I have found.
