ThrottleLauncher v0.8 Alpha (freeware)
Requirements: PPC WM6
Overview: ThrottleLauncher is a launcher app designed for Windows Mobile 6. Basically it consist of several pages containing rows. Each of the rows depending of it contents can be scrolled horizontally by using the finger.
The app is fully configurable through xml files so the rest of the features depends on the diferent setups.
The rows can contain several type of items:
- Icons: can execute any program or link.
- Clock: analog clock.
- Text: can be updated periodically and can contain dinamic dates or registry values.
- Photo dialer: you can place contacts with asociated photos on a row.
- Running and recent apps: all running and recent apps can be shown inside a row.
Main features:
- Kinetic scrolling.
- Fully configurable.
- Skin support.
Update Description:
v0.8 Alpha (14-03-2008):
- "Time Bomb" increasing CPU usage.
- ShowText not working for application tag.
- Following ridingshark wishes.
- Solved background changing problem. Now you can change your today background without problems (hopefully).
- Try to solve again Sergio's reported bug....
- Posibility to show centered text under icons.
- Some improvements and bugs solved inside AppDB configuration tool.
- Some improvements on scrolling and hopefully bugs solved inside throttle (2 days usage time bomb reported by Sergio ).
- Now page icons (the ones with 'age' exec value are marked when the current page is the one refered by the icon).
- Some bugs solved (random two process for ThrottleTodayPlugin and hopefully all memory leak's...)
- New config parameter to achieve full trasparency also when performing scrolling. This is not recomended unless you have a powerfull device (on my Herald with OMAP 850 it goes tooooo slow....).
- New AppDB feature....
- Multiline text support. Now if text exceeds it's reserved width. It will go to next line until reserved height is matched.
- Workarround the startup problem when loading from SD card or ExtMemory. The workarrund is achieved by adding a registry entry named "TodayStartUpDelay". This will delay the loading of the plugin leaving some time to the OS. I've tried it with 10000 miliseconds with succesfull results.
- Solve the clock/text updating problem wich causes some elements/icons to disapear. Please report if you find it's not solved.
- Solve the reg dates parsing feature when reg entry is not present (example, when theres not next appointment).
- New feature: the updating elements stop when the screen is turned off to safe battery . The way for achieving this is now standar so maybe on some devices you can speriment some problems... If so please report.
- Removed the registry themes updates for instalation so you can install the new release without loosing your current setup selection .
- Optimized graphics and painting. Gullum's HTC theme now looks awesome with full alpha support for his icons
.
- Removed lot's of unnecesary backbuffering task's on non scrolling rows wich may turn into less memory and less CPU ussage.
- Solved almost all the posted bugs, I hope.
- Removed the 3 big DLL dependencies for today pluging including on the main app!!
- Theorically full SD installation support.
- Full back compatibility with previous version themes (in fact as you can see, theres not DefaultPlugins for this release as 0.7 will work perfectly). If you find even a dot not matching what you achieved with 0.7 release, report and I'll try to fix it.
