 @Zehlein

Thanks for your email response but I believe either the attachment got missed or perhaps got cut off by something on your end as gmail here shows no attachment on the message. I just wanted to let you know and ask if you could try to send it again. Gmail allows messages up to 10 megabytes (MB) in size. If the attachment is larger than that it can be sent in 2 blocks.

Thanks so much for all your help today!

 @Zehlein, thanks for the files. The time does display correctly now but the formating has changed to Military Time (IE 24 hr). How hard is it to have 19:15 displayed at 7:15. I think it was displaying it in this format on the previous build (granted it was the wrong time but)

 zehlein,

After ppl autogenerated the code, it could run it but only a blank (grey) window appeared. (no launcher icons and such.)

At the top of that window it showed Operator Static132

My question is, why didn't it load all the icons and such. I believe that I have everything placed in the correct directory. The menu button would click open for an option to exit (didn't work)

Thanks for your assistance.

You will have to use the timeformating routines the original code used. I simply bypassed them. Well, ofcourse you will have to find out where the error sits that lets the displayed time be zero or GMT. At the moment I don't have the time to do it myself (I have to go to work now...)

@ andason, no idea what is going on there. We can try to sort it out when I'm back from work or maybe another kind soul here might jump in.

 So, few mysteries solved. The slider.ppl won't run with PPL version 1.23 due to a newly introduced feature that is pretty much memory consuming. You have to set the
  font$ = g_loadfont("Arial" , 40, RGB(255, 255, 255), FONT_NORMAL);
to
  font$ = g_loadfont("Arial" , 12, RGB(255, 255, 255), FONT_NORMAL);
allthough it takes ages now to load and doesn't look that fancy.
I made a few changes to the time formating issue and it works fine for me now. If someone is still interested in the code drop me a PM (private message, yes we do have that now here!) with your email address and I will send it all to you. I can't check the AM / PM time format issue here because my time beeing german is 24 hours.

 Hi, I've just corrected the slider's clock problem and other minor glitches.

You may get it here... http://rapidshare.com/files/24651707/Slide.rar.html and please let me know does it work for you.

 Thanks A_C. I'll try it out as soon as I can. I see this version includes slide.exe. Have you repaired any of the issues of launcher.exe?

Thanks

 @A_C: the original author provided the source code. I think it would be a good idea to leave them in the project if you pass it on.

@tange1: I will send you the launcher and slide stuff again. Could you please tell me if the am/pm time format or the 24 hour time format shwows up with you!?

Edit: there is no way to close the launcher.exe "normally", so on my WM5 device the Softkeys are missing after killing the application. I will look after building in a normal way to quit the launcher and setting back thing to the normal state.

 @zehlein

I would love if it was not displaying in a 24 hour style. IE, 7:00 instead of 19:00 (Assuming its 7pm in the evening). Also, I noticed that the build you had sent me displayed 12:8 instead of 12:08. Anytime a 0 was in the minutes section, it wasn't displayed.

edit: thanks for the build, I'll test it out tomorrow evening and let you know.
Thanks Zehlein

I've not touched the launcher as there are a lot 3rd party programs that do similar trick better. But for the date/time problem, since the slider & launcher born from the same author, the fix can be easily done.

I think my fixes are very minor when comparing with the original author's master piece. And I don't want to contempt the original code.
For the date/time fix, I just used the Windows built-in format to do the trick:
GetDateFormat(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, 0, &st$, "dddd', 'dd MMMM yyyy", &s$, &sz$);

GetTimeFormat(LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, TIME_NOSECONDS, &st$, "h':'mm tt", &s$, &sz$);

 I did use TIME_NOSECONDS too... Please don't get me wrong: providing the sourcecode is simply a good way for others to learn how things can be done. The most interesting thing about the launcher for me was how the auther got rid of the WM5 softkeys, SIP and so on. I don't only want to marvel at some good work I'd like to understand how it's done too. Happy Easter!

 Hello all,

Does anyone have corrected launcher.exe and slide.exe files that correct the 4 hour time shift and the military time? I would like to see AM/PM time.

Thank you!

Thanks, Scott K.

 zehlein, would it be possible for you to share with us the part where he got rid of the WM5 softkeys, SIP and so on in the Code Sharing? That would be very nice.

Hi, I've not fixed the launcher because of the reason I stated before.
But the good news is I've made a newer version of slider for you...
http://rapidshare.com/files/25651637/Slide1.02.rar.html
The time is in 12 hour format; it loads much much faster & support ClearType.
Enjoy!

 hi ac, i had to register here to post my "Thanks" for the updated slider version.

right now i'am hopping through the forums (xda-developer here and a german xda-board have postings about the launcher&slider double), and try to spread and compare all the information.

1. the slider:
in your version it loads a lot faster on my HTC Artemis, date and time is correct and the font nice.
(if i had a wish, i personally would prefer 24h format, but your version is definitly mutch more stable than the original (or the time-fixedv2) in the xda-dev board)

as sad as it is, the launcher is very buggy. it even has a memory leak (about 0,1 MB drops every 2 seconds).

sadly iam on a mac and cant compile the sources myself.

yeah thats it . thanks again for sharing the binary.
...and if there might be 10 minutes free, i would be verry (verry) happy if you could compile a 24h version
greetings from berlin
grimmet

@tange1: i've attached it again.

As grimmet has already uploaded here, I'll not send you a personal email.

@grimmet
Thank you for your compliment. For the time format, I'm thinking of make it user configurable. Meanwhile, please be patient.

 @grimmet - Build is great - thanks!!! Anyway you can disable the animation on the "slide to unlock" ? I believe that this causes battery drain (at least on my PPC phone) as the screen stays active as a result..?.?

Thanks!!!

 Hi A_C, first of all thanks for share your slider version.
I think your slider is the best I've seen.
It work fine and fast in my WM5 VGA device.
Only one issue, in the top bar it appears the words "fligt mode". I supose that is due to me device is a pocket pc device not pocket pc phone.
It's posible to eliminate this?
Image: http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/3231/ capture1404200712281wv6.jpg

Many thaks...


EDIT: I think the problem is the VGA resolution. The date and the operator are four times big. The rest of the program (time, slide, wallpaper, topbar, battery) works fine.

 sorry to crosspost here, but i wrote a little overview on all now available files, and releases in the xda-dev forum. it looks like some guy is going to re-write the launcher.exe , and if A_C really comes with a configurable slider this is a huge community (and of corse , programmers) afford.
thx for making this hapen. (even if it is "only" about a piece off pocket-pc software.)

Sure. I will try to brake it down to the needed code and place it in the Code Sharing section.

Edit: No need for it. He simply used what Richard already posted to the Code sharing forum.

 Hi all,
Sorry for the late response, as I was overwhelmed with the compliments and requests. After calmed down for a while, I decided to release what I've done so far including the source code. I'm not hurting anyone or helping anyone. Just want to let you guys know there is no limit in your dreams. And hope someone will make it a nicer dream.
So here it is the version 1.03 with configurable date/time format & animation; avoid loading twice; run at background... etc. Please read the readme.txt for details.
http://rapidshare.com/files/26094333/Slide1.03.rar.html
And the source code is being posted at the Code Sharing forum.
As usual, enjoy!

If you have a chance to update your XDA dev post w/ links to the new build of the slider app provided to us by A_C it would be much appreciated as I've linked to that post in other PPC forums. Thanks for the great overview.

 I was amazed when I tried it at how much faster this is than the original.

if it's not too much trouble, can the next version have the option to set the operator name in the INI file, for those who have WM2003/SE?


And maybe Landscape support and the ability to start automatically (I think that might have already been posted) in some future version?

Thanks

Thank you for your comment. But I'm sorry that as I do not have a WM2003/SE device, I cannot test it probably. Maybe other programers can help you.

For the Landscape support, that sounds possible but no commitment here.

For the automatically start, it's possible if you know what is Notification database...

 Has anyone come up with a way to have the slider app launcher after X minutes of inactivity, thus basically auto locking the device?

 Really, for customizable user name, I meant the ability to manually set the operator name regardless of OS, but that it would be useful for WM2003/SE users.

Thanks for the quick response!

Tange1: if you could make it start when you turn it on/wake it up, then you could just set it to turn off after X number of mins. I'm trying to figure out what the notification database is, so maybe...
