Author: Pi3cH
Category: Functional
Date: 19 Nov 2007
Version: 0.2

This skin contains:
1. Windows Media Player 10 today plugin. You can play your music files from today screen.
2. Unread SMS
3. Hijri shamsi date (Jalali Date)
4. Urgent Memo! Many time I forgot to read my recording notes in my notes folder. I called this recording notes as Urgent Memos. you can use your voice to write notes, memo, tasks, .... there is a MortScript in this skin which count numbers of you recording notes (*.amr files) and add them to registry. So you see how many Urgent memo you have in your today screen. This script run we you power-on-off your PDA.
5. Digital clock.
6. Appointment and Tasks
7. set your device volume to mid level.
8. set your back light to mid level. (change code if not work for you.)

Installation:
1. Unzip 3Dskin-Pi3cH.zip (Contains: mscr.zip, 3dskin.zip, WMPTodayPlugin.cab)
2. Unzip both msrc.zip and 3dskin.zip files to your rltoday folder (not inside your skins!, if you are using my Office skin you need not unzip mscr.zip)
3. Install WMPTodayPlugin.cab to your main memory (not work if you install it on your storage card).
4. Open Init.mscr in Office folder and change part called "Disable and Enable today plugins". Add/Remove those today plugins that you want to be loaded when this skin is loading.
5. Run Init.mscr in Home\mscr\.

Note: Never change skin with default rltoday skin changer option! otherwise many future would not work for you. Only run Init.mscr!

Comments are welcome.

What do I mean by functional skin?
Different skin in different locations, for e.g. we you are at your office you need to do some different things with your PDA that you do not need or not able to do them when you are outdoor.

I've thought about having a skin for when I'm on the move and want to use bigger buttons rather than the pen, but find that MortButtons is the answer. I did have a skin with a big digital clock but found myself switching back to my standard skin too much.

May be it is too personal!

Mark I had similiar problem. I coded a script for automatic skin changing. This script change rltoday skin, today plugins, volume, backlight, ... at specific time of day that setted in INI file.
The intresting part is that it turns my phone(signal) off at night and turn it on at morning.

If you think it can be helpful, I can share it.

well, your skin made me finally sign up for this board. I have tried about 20 skins in the last couple weeks and find that this one suits me best with just a few changes to the programs I prefer.

The one thing that I thought I would try to be clever with was removing the Jalali Date. I wanted to replace it with a system memory and sd memory meter. Something small. Unfortunately I do not know how to edit mscr files. I tried getting crafty and editing the skin file and registry, but found out that while removing the Jalali Date, it obviously must have been parented by the mscr file because I would get an error every time I use my phone.

So, at the very least, is it possible to get that Jalali Date removed as it not only confuses me, but it serves no purpose for me AND at the very most, would the meters be an easy add on?

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. To remove Jalalidate simply open Skin.xml and remove all the line from line 18 to line 29. this part:

Code:

     
     
     

     
     
      "

     
     
     

to add system memory or sd memory metter you should first create mscr files. for makin mscr code in order to get memory status you can use below code as sample or download my Pi3cH tabbed skin:

Code:

#Get Memory
MainMem = FreeMemory() / 1024
TotMem = TotalMemory() / 1024
SDMem = FreeDiskSpace("\Storage Card") /1024
RAMMem = FreeDiskSpace("\") / 1024
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "MainMemory", MainMem)
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "TotalMemory", TotMem)
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "SDMemory", SDMem)
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "RAMMemory", RAMMem)

thank you for your reply and the insight on how to adjust it. I did try removing that script from the skin file and I received an error every time I used the phone. The joys of modifying!

I'll keep looking into it.

Kepp up the good work!

To stop jalalidate script run at each device power on download and run attached script into your pda.

right on man, thanks a lot! I'll post up if I get some decent looking meters in place of the jalali date.
