Hi everyone! @kwerdenker I'm hoping for your response
I'm at the first attempt at using using Zooper and I'm trying to create a music widget using this guide: http://webermatters.com/everything-zooper/creating-a-zooper-media-widget-with-media-utilities/
The problem is that the widget isn't displaying next,play/pause,previous buttons, coverarts and infos about artist etc.. Buttons work though, in fact I can play music though the widget.
This is my Media Utilities configuration and my widget.
Thanks in advance for the support!

Please post your Zooper template. With only the screenshot to go on I can't say much. Also which media app do you use? In case of problems you should always use Google Play Music to check, since it's known to be the one with the best success rate.

Thanks for the support! The attachment was in my autosave folder, is it what you're looking for to help?
My first guess is that you're not specifying where the image is for the play/pause/whatever buttons.

In fact I'm not In the guide I linked if the first post it's not specified and I don't know how to do that.. However, when setting the coverart the screen in that guide show a path for the image in the advanced parameters, but it seems that I can't add the path. So, where do I have to put the coverarts? Also, how can I match every coverart with its respective song? I thought it was automatic as I bought a pack of widget that works well by default..
Sorry for all the questions but I'm really new to Zooper!

Ok, so here are two things:
1. You have to keep the case of the tags! #tmu_track# won't work, only #TMU_TRACK# will. You can see this throughout the whole tutorial.
2. The wording of the paragraph concerning the buttons can be misinterpreted which I assume you did. Assigning an action to a bitmap module does not automatically apply an bitmap appropriate for that action. You have to assign the play, pause, previous, next graphics yourself.

Coverart is the only one of these that will be auto-loaded for you with the advanced parameters. For all others you have to find your own button bitmaps and assign them manually to the Bitmap module via the Bitmap option directly under the OnTap one

Ok thank you very much! I got almost everything sorted out, only the play/pause button is missing together with the overlapping text. I'll see what I can do and I'll ask here for help or to show the final result :good:
@kwerdenker
I can't get the play/pause button right. I have the images for the bitmaps but I can't find a way to get the play button switch to pause when the music is playing and viceversa.. Can I use the media utilities action to put the commands in only one bitmap? TIA

If you are using bitmaps for the buttons, the simplest solution is the following: use two bitmap modules (one for play, one for pause), apply the bitmaps and the appropriate OnTap action and position them where you want them to be. Then add this as an advanced parameter to your play bitmap
Code:
$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?[ox]9000[/ox]$
and this to your pause bitmap
Code:
$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?[ox]9000[/ox]$
This will effectively move the bitmap "off screen" when the condition is true (I think ISPLAYING is pretty self-explanatory )
Thanks for your answers @kwerdenker, here is the final result! I'm proud of my first complete home I think I'll refine it..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It might be a stupid question and if so dear administrators please remove this thread. I am wondering if anyone found the names of the buttons in the command bar (the bar below) in the new winmo roms such as 23053+.
This should be winmo graphics and no manila files and thus more easily to modify, I guess.

They actually can come under different names depending on which theme you select. The easiest one to look at is prefixed with ClassicBlue, thats the MS set

Thank you for your quick response. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, since these weren't the icons I was looking for and the buttons in the command bar don't change when you switch themes.
I added a full screen shot and marked the buttons.
Thanks anyway.

Hello, i am trying to post few extended controls from SenseSDK from eboelzner with source code.
They all inherit SensePanelBase
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648906
They all will work under SenseListControl or direct on form.
Controls name starting with SensePanel only work under SenseListControl.
Code may be bit dirty, but is due to lack of time. But will surely be fixed and optimized.
Right now controls do not have documentation. I am working on it to make it and will post at earliest.
However there are examples for all controls in a demo app for VB.net and C#.net.
http://sensesdkextended.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets
Controls:
1. SenseButtonControlEx (very basic release)
2. SenseHeaderControlEx (2 Different Styles, see screenshots)
3. SensePanelItemEx (4 Different Styles, inludes multi columns, see screenshots)
4. SensePanelLinkLabel (see screenshots)
5. SensePanelNumericItemEx (2 and 3 digit support, see screenshots)
6. SenseSelectionControl (under development, do not use as it is incomplete)
I did not get much time to test. however i am fixing bugs at earliest on them.
Give feedback with a reason on how you want to use this control as, helps me a lot to develop further, and if i know how it is going to be used, then it will give me motivation too
Requirements:
1. .Net Compact Framework 3.5 (requirement of SenseSDK)
2. Application running without any errors using SenseSDK
Screenshots in Post #3
I know lots of developers are looking for this controls. Would be helpful to them.
If there are bugs, post them here, and they will be fixed for sure.
Feedbacks would be great.
Will add more controls soon.
Have Fun!!
[Downloads]
It was getting difficult to manage multiple versions, and release.
So now i am using Codeplex for everything.
It has Complete Source Code, screenshots, and releases for download.
Has a compiled Dll which simply can be added as Reference.

I think it would be very useful integrate in this custom item the automatic resize of the height according to the length of the text and the screen position (portrait or landscape).
PS:No normal Thumbnail Support?

There is no support for landscape in SenseSDK, so nothing much we can do as we are just inheriting SensePanelBase.
Regarding, thumbnail support, i will get it checked and get it drawn. thanks for noticing, missed it completely.
Good to know you was able to make it work.
I would also suggest you to study the code so you can understand it completely and also do changes like you need, that is the main reason i am providing code.
if you find bugs, do let me know.

I'm tring to understand the code for Thumbnail support but with no result because the SensePanelItem have Thumbnail and iThumbnail support and I try to integrate Thumbnail in your SensePanelItemEx but the text don't go at the right of the thumb, i think because i've problem to manage the Rectangole in the panel..
I need to have like as the screenshot, with bold support!
PS: i don't understand the no landscape support..
The senseSDK go fine in landscape.
I think that we can user the SizeF stringSize = g.MeasureString(s, f); that you call in OnRender function but that you don't use, and the text don't go in multiline.

If you can post a screenshot in landscape mode, would be appreciated.
Thumbnail support is already coded few hours ago, and going through some basic testing.
should be posted in next few hours.
and will look same like your screenshot.
in the last screenshot you provided, i believe you are setting the height yourself for the panelitem?

Yes, it is because i need MeasureString onRender!
Now i manually add a \r\n when the string is upper of the width of the panel, and add a costant height on every new line , but not working good in landscape mode and in different resolution mode.
See my screenshot for landscape mode.

I already figured out the issue for height, and MeasureString is being integrated.

Do you think in first screenshot of SMS you showed, the thumbnail should have been moved to top align, rather then middle? or should have option for top,middle,below?

I think that would be great to set the position in screen.
In my app i need in the list of sender this right size and middle, but in SMS that i show i would have the thumb a little small and at the top (align of the first line of Primary Text, that is the contact name )
Thanks for your work i wait for automatic height of the panel!

Check out the Task and the short description I posted for another user here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49240625#post49240625
Since the Tasker variables are shared over all widgets, you can use the OnTap action on one widget and use the variable on another one. If you want multiple toggles, just clone the task and rename it and the variable.
If you have any further questions, just ask
Hey, thanks for the help.
Tasker can't import your xml because there is no "%1$s". Can't say what Tasker is trying to tell me with that ...
Am i doing something wrong? I just press import and Tasker tells me that it failed.

How did you download the XML? Did you open the website and pressed "Download"? If not, it might be corrupted.
I usually import Tasks by long-pressing on the "TASKS" tab in Tasker and then selecting the XML. So far it seems to work on my end.
I took the xml file an copied it in the Tasker auto-import folder.
In Tasker i pushed the little house in the bottom left corner and chose Import.
If i do it your way Tasker doesn't show any file to import in the auto-import folder.

Then I'm currently out of ideas to be honest. The same procedure works on my side
Greetings!
I have a Tasker task that goes out and grabs an image from the web. I save it with the same name in the same location each time. And I verified that it is different.
In Zooper I added a bitmap module and pointed at that image. The image never changes. Not even on a reboot of the phone.
So, what is the trick to get it to update?
This will be my new thing to learn today!
Thank for any help in advance!

Saving it with the same name is actually the problem in this case. Zooper caches external images for its widgets and doesn't reload them after the initial load. If you want your image to change you have to use the same method Media Utilities uses for the coverart: Save the image under a different name on each save (append a random number or a timestap to the name), push the path to the new image as a variable to Zooper (lets say "CHANGINGIMAGE") and then use that variable as an advanced parameter on the bitmap module in your Zooper Widget as follows
HTML:
[b]#TCHANGINGIMAGE#[/b]
Since the name of the bitmap changes, Zooper recognizes it as a new bitmap and will reload it on the widget.

Interesting! That variable would have the path to the image is what I'm understanding. The rest makes perfect sense!
Thanks @kwerdenker
It works .. but
It only updates when a minute flips. It doesn't change on request. I'm even displaying the Tasker Zooper variable and it changes but the image waits till the minute changes.
I there a way to make the widget refresh itself automatically??

[SOLVED]
Ok I feel like an idiot now! After staring at this for an entire weekend back and forth from other things. I finally licked it!
It's all about bitmap opacity
The Tasker part was just to supply a 0 or 1 as the toggle switch via the ON TAP event supplied by Zooper.
You have to have two bitmap modules in the exact same position to create the switch effect.
Code:
$#TMAPTOGGLE#=0?[b][bo]ff[/bo]/sdcard/ZooperWidget/Bitmaps/map.png[/b]:[b][bo]00[/bo]/sdcard/ZooperWidget/Bitmaps/map.png[/b]$
That above was my first module and below that I had one with the same code except I was testing for a 1 instead of a 0 and the bitmap name was different.
I would be nice it Zooper gave the mechanism to do this with out having to reach out to Tasker. But it works! :good::highfive:
