Pi3cH Skin
Author: Pi3cH Wink
Category: Enhanced

Here is my personal rlToday skin for my pocket pc.
Purpose: You have many favorite today plugins but you do not have enough space in your ppc screen to view all of them and also you hate scroll bar on your today screen. By using this skin you can categories today plugins in 5 tabs and view them according to your need.
AND! I like to create everything with these two great software rlToday and MortScripts!

Feathers:
* tabbed Today plugin – finger friendly
* Ability to load/unload other today plugins
* Battery, Memory, Signal, Incoming & Outgoing calls duration, RAM & SD free space and platform status (I search for good status today plugin but I can not found good one! So I tried to code it here Wink )
* Total number of Notes, Answering Machine (Gigabyte pdas) on today screen

Today plugins that I used:
1. TaskPlus140
http://software.forest59.com/taskplus.aspx

2. verizon speed dial plugin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=918942&postcount=9

3. Window Media player today plugin
Download my Home Skin - http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1089 and extract WMPTodayPlugin.cab from it.

4. WM5 buit-in today plugins
Wink no download link!

5. and a today plugin for taking notes (thanks Zierroff)
http://www.freewareppc.com/graphics/handwritememoforpokep.shtml

Theme:
No! NO! it is not wisbar!!
I use Skinmobile5 with it’s great functionally for changing top and bottom bar with your favorite picture.

(If you can not find any above software just let me know, I can upload it here.)

What is your comments about this skin?

Updates:
1. Skinmobile5 added
2. Skinmobile5 help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1859078&postcount=12

I like this tabbed skin.  The skin and scripting components are well organized.  The individual tab.mscrs work more quickly than I thought they might, given my prior experiences changing Today screens with SK Today Commander and TodayX.

I had 2 problem areas using this skin on my ppc6700 (running wm5) as described below.

1.  tab4.mscr provided an error for battery information until I removed following lines:

#Get Battery
MainBat = BatteryPercentage()
BackBat = BackupBatteryPercentage()
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "MainBattery", MainBat)
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\Pi3cH\", "BackupBattery", BackBat)

The revised tab4.mscr now completes, but there is no "battery" information and "platform status" appears to be incorrect (shows "WinCE" and "5.5" versus WM OS 5.1.195).  As far as I know, I have not installed Emerym's Sys-to-Reg on my ppc.  If this is a problem, please advise which version that should be installed.

2. ChangeTab.mscr does not seem to run properly. ChangeTab.mscr operates the same way either by direct execution or by clicking on individual tab on Today screen.  The script appears to cylce through each of the 5 tabs consecutively, stopping only at tab5.  Is some sort of conditional "EndSwitch" required between the Cases?

As I am relatively new to rltoday and mortscript, I would appreciate any help or suggestions you might offer to eliminate these 2 problems.

1. please install last version of MortScript in your ppc. If problem exists again what is the error message?
2. "EndSwitch" only needed and end of switch condition like other programming languages (plz refer to MortScript Manual) . there is differenct between direct calling or clicking on individual tab. If you open skin.xml file you will see that on each ChangeTab.mscr the name of tab sent to changetab.mscr as parameter. in direct calling no parameter would be sent and no action happens.

Pi3cH

Thank you for the great skin, prompt help, and useful information.
 
I checked the copy of the mortscript manual I had and learned that the ChangeTab.mscr should have worked.  

I updated from Mortscript 4.0 to 4.1 and the ChangeTab function is now working as you intended.  I also was able to run the battery status after reinserting the previously removed code.

Hope you don't mind if I make some modifications to the skin for my personal use.

Would you mind posting the down load links to the plugins that you are using.  Especially the notes plugin.

Thanks and great work

Is it possible to use buttons to switch screens in the same way that tabs do?

I want to modify my iphone-type skin so that the bottom 4 buttons act as tabs.
Alternatively, is it possible to remove the lines around the tabs?

Yes it's possible.

You have just to mod this skin to do it; the principle is the same.

The changetab script calls the other scripts.
Each tab corresponds to a different skin and script.

You just have to create your skins and associate it with the script: skin1-script1-changetab.

It's not a big help... better it's to look at the skin and try to learn how it works.
