thnx to your precious help i could manage making some code tonight and here is a new version
re-download / re-install / re-spring needed ;)

235_teeh_BETA.theme.zip

What should be done in this version:
//Appigo todo plugin
SHOULD work fine. it’s based on 1.1.7 vividboarder todo plugin
One parameter might be useful: it’s “priority” i would like to add a cool little icon to indicate priority
but i don’t know what priority numbers correspond to (default seems to be 4)
please report ;)

//Weather icons
SHOULD be ok, since i checked and rechecked theme displayed icons with weatherApp diplayed icons in 15 differnt countries from African ones to European and American oh an Tokyo (obviously? lol)

//PUSH,
for some “why the hell technology is that way?” reason,
PUSH notificatios sometimes got arriving in a strange way..
so i made a workaround that i tested on Firefox to be working, but Firefox isn’t iPhone
so please report the way it works..

Still you have the debug version to make screens when there is something that doesn’t work the way it should:

235_tee_DEBUG.theme.zip




If you like my work,
please consider

  1. geo411m Says:

    just tested it and it’s working good but you sent it in french lol.

  2. ame235 Says:

    Ops, reupped file. in english ;)
    did you try push and appigo already?

  3. geo411m Says:

    push works fine and so does weather (although I liked the older icons better). I noticed that when you have a missed call you can’t collapse it all the way because the time the call was missed gets in the way. I haven’t tried appigo yet but looking at your code I need the older appigo plugin.

  4. DaveP Says:

    See to work good by Calendar is not showing up

    Thanks for the great work

  5. prof_hastig Says:

    Can you please send me your debug file? I use another Font, that needs some fixes in style.css and I have only the one from the original Gruppled Theme, but there are your additions missing, like Push.

    My Address: profhastig (at) mac (dot) com

    Thanks even for your work….

    @geo411m:
    //appigo
    Sh*#, i can’t get to understad which plugin for todos i have to put code in..(me: dumb)
    BTW, i left the other code commented so commenting out one and commenting other + line at beinning of lockinfo.js file should be ok
    please report which plugin support i should leave..

    //call collapse: will check.

    @prof_hastig:
    you can mod the one from gruppled easily!

  7. geo411m Says:

    @ame235
    This is the one you want to use because it’s the latest version that’s being updated. “com.vividboarder.lockinfo.TodoPlugin” The other one (cx.ath.jakewalk.TodoPlugin) is the older version and it doesn’t support native rendering and is therefore not being updated anymore.

  8. Ego Says:

    @ame235 you added the 2Do plugin.

  9. geo411m Says:

    Silly me. It works fine, I missed the fact that you commented out the older plugin. Sorry for confusing you.

  10. SupaBrotha Says:

    @ame
    Seems to work just fine and looks good to boot. Still think the icons are off a little but not much. I’m currently getting a cloudy with rain indicator whereas the native app shows it as cloudy with snow. The other icons are matching up pretty well, but I’ll keep my eyes open as the days go on for more issues.

    I do find that the theme doesn’t always load and I sometimes have to unlock and relock the phone to get it to show, but small issue.

    GREAT THEME! GREAT WORK! LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR WORK!

  11. Ego Says:

    Great work! The only thing I can’t get to work is the 2Do plugin. But otherwise awesome and thank you

  12. prof_hastig Says:

    @ame: No I can’t!

  13. ame235 Says:

    @ geo411m
    so the todo plugin can be considered as working? youpiii!!

    //call bug, made mods to css file, you were right. there was a 5px padding-top somewhere.

    @SupaBrotha:
    there are plenty of icon themes outhere really complete:
    one example is this one (wich doesn’t look ba on theme btw)
    http://lavana.deviantart.com/art/Simple-Weather-Icons-23626765
    its really complete, but as you notice there are still some icons missing.
    i’m not against evolution, it’s just, that beetween “freezing drizzle” and “drizzle” there sometimes just isn’t any icon :P
    and i don’t even know what drizzle means!! :(

    @prof_hastig
    As Pres. Obama said..

  14. Las Pecas Says:

    There is one thing i don’t understand… why the hell saurik isn’t able to get element done. You’ve managed it in less time with updates snd more. It’s not against you ame (you’re work is amazing) but i mean he developed cydia…hey

  15. Grodi Says:

    ame, check out the links. I’m afraid the BETA is the DEBUG.

  16. ame235 Says:

    @Las Pecas:
    I think that there is an enormous difference between a simple theme like the one i made (furthermore i did just adapt an existing one!)
    and creating an application that renders all this data in a native way.
    Application is harder to develop (that’s why it’s taking time i think)
    but allows more further developments and possibilities (ex: delete mails directly from the app or actually call the “missed call” contact by pressing it)

    Really, if elements comes out I think i will switch to it (if it’s as stable as lockInfo ;) )

  17. ame235 Says:

    @Grodi
    I just updated the beta with a version near to release to see if there are bugs in that way.
    it’s not the debug version, which shows raw data..
    but the javascript is compressed to make it smaller and faster to render..

    you have a specific bug?

  18. Grodi Says:

    I just sent u a screeshot

  19. Karohe Says:

    Thank you Ame for all the good work.
    I couldn’t figure out why I don’t get anything from todo plugin, until I upgraded to the latest version of “todo” :D
    Now all I get is “undefined” with correct due time and date. Any suggestion what might be wrong? do I need to change the configuration of the todo app?

  20. ame235 Says:

    @karohe
    if you would gently install the debug version and send me a screenshot of that event..
    i would make my best to find a solution

    also please confirm todo plugin used and version of that plugin.

  21. StarSoft Says:

    Works nice. The weather seems to be right now.
    The Push pluton is displayed properly just not cleared when checked. But I know that is something the plugin needs to do, nothing you can change.
    If you can make it optional to have the calendar items collapsable and maybe the number of items displayed, I would be completely happy :D

    Right now I edit the files myself with every release, it’s no problem :)
    Next I will try to test the todo plugin, if I can find the right one to download.
    Nice job again :)

  22. dmeerpa Says:

    There are 4 priorities

    High | Normal | Low | -

    default is -

  23. geo411m Says:

    I see the same thing StarSoft is talking about. If you get a push and go to the app it doesn’t get cleared. Also, todo has the same problem that calls had. When you collapse all the last items time still shows.

    I just got to congratulate you, this has turned out to be the best lockinfo theme by far. you’ve managed to take an HTML theme that pulls it’s weather using the native weather plugin. GREAT WORK!

  24. ame235 Says:

    @Starsoft,
    you’re right that is some data (collapsed /shown items) that can be recieved from plugin
    will integrate that ;)

    @dmeerpa.
    i don’t use todo, but from what users send me in debug,
    i recieve prioity = 4
    so you mean that 4 = “-” ? the default? and High=1, normal=2..

  25. dmeerpa Says:

    Are you sure the 235_teeh_BETA.theme.zip is you latest version ?

    The newest files are dated 13-1-2010 12:03 but in your blog of today you are talking that you did some code tonight, that should be the night from 14 to 15-1-2010.

    Also the weather plugin from your yesterdays post is missing

  26. dmeerpa Says:

    Yes when I create a new entry in to do, I got a bar ‘-’ as default priority.

    see this image for the displaying order:
    http://www.geardiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/iphoto-137-331×500.jpg

  27. dmeerpa Says:

    Oké I redownloaded with another browser, nog there are files from 15-01-2010. I think Google Chrome didn’t redownload the file but took it from cache…

    sorry for the falls alarm

  28. StarSoft Says:

    What Geo said is right. The date and time format is too long and is displayed below eachother expanding the div making it too high to fit in the fixed values you have set for every item.
    When collapsing the category there remains a white space.
    Here are some screens explaining it better.

  29. SupaBrotha Says:

    Where is the lockinfo 2.0 release? I’ve seen people say it’s out but not seeing on David’s repository or anywhere.

  30. StarSoft Says:

    Oh. Forgot to mention it shows an empty value and for items where no date is set it will use the fiat of January. I can use the debug version if you like more info.

  31. dmeerpa Says:

    To-do works now.

    But the date and time are displayed in bold and not regular like the calendar

  32. ame235 Says:

    //Todo date/time bug,
    resolved, now the time expands its div..so if gets bigger, it won’t go “out of bounds”

    //@dmeerpa
    thnx for todo, i’ll install it to debug in a better way.
    AND use it for my personal task managment XD (this theme is getting me crazy!! :P )

  33. geo411m Says:

    I was looking at an original weathericon theme and i know why the weather icons didn’t work before. It seems weathericon uses yahoo weather and thats why we got the wrong image when using apple weather. Looking at the icon theme I see that certain icons (#34,44, etc) have more than one icon depending on the time of day. Example would be 34_day.png and 34_night.png. So under certain conditions this can be wrong unless you either code it to use day/night or use a time generic icon.

  34. ame235 Says:

    @geo411m:
    that’s what i was trying to explain last day,
    actually i can code that withut any problem because i can get Day/night parameter.
    problem is: what code goes to what image?

    secondly, i’m not sure of all this: if you notice the weatherApp changes background color (blue-violet) for day and night,
    that might be the only reason for the night day parameter to be there..

  35. geo411m Says:

    I have the images for one of the weather icon themes. It has all the images including day and night extras. I would imagine that you only have two choices to make with regards to day/night codes, pick one and see if you’re lucky :-D .

  36. ame235 Says:

    I stop for today.
    //added icon for priority in todo,
    //solved bug for todo items&dates
    //solved several other bugs..

    now i have a problem & need your advice
    someone told about taking in count plugins preferences like “max tasks shown” for todo,
    this is very simple to implement, problem is:
    if you set the plugin to show 2 task max, the plugin will return only 2.
    so you won’t be able to “load more” in lockinfo with this theme..

    //option 2:
    the theme already has some settings for max todos/twitters…
    in config.js,
    with those, theme shows only the number set there bot adds a load more bar that shows more when clicked.
    (notice that if you tell plugin to show max 2 it will still show max 2, even if config.js says 5)

    Which option do you prefer??

  37. geo411m Says:

    I prefer if you can get all the setting to work through the lockinfo preferences. It just seems like a better way to modify it.

  38. geo411m Says:

    also I don’t know when you upload a new version as you use the same link name/filename. It would be helpful if you edit your post saying when newer version was added and maybe a beta version number. It would be easier for you to troubleshoot or know if you’re getting duplicate bug request. by the way did you upload your latest version yet?

  39. Grodi Says:

    I’m afraid the Todo time/date bug is still there…

    I tried to email u a screenshot, but got an error message. Will try again

    Have some rest, you deserve it. You’re doin’ a great job here. This theme is getting better and better. Congratulations

  40. ame235 Says:

    @geo411m:
    YUp you’re right,
    i just can’t afford more space on server that’s why i kept rewriting same file.. :(
    anyways, hopefully the theme will be over soon if lockinfo 2.0 doesn’t lock eveything..

    BTW anyone knows where it is? i searched for it on mr. ashmans beta repo, nothing.

    @grodi..
    Ops just what wahs saying geo411m..
    i didn’t up this version for the moment..that’s why you don’t get it solved….
    sorry -_-’

  41. geo411m Says:

    you don’t need to change the file name then. Just add a change log to your post. Example “update @ 10:00. fixed xyz bug” Trust me it’ll be easier for you because different people are starting to get different versions.

  42. geo411m Says:

    Lockinfo 2.0 works fine with your theme. I’m using it now. 2.0 has some nice features like email preview from lockscreen and the homescreen option is a lot more stable now.

  43. Grodi Says:

    Geo411m, where did you find lockinfo 2.0?

  44. geo411m Says:

    I got it off the default repo early this morning. Has it been removed? also check iphone.ashman.com/lockinfo.

  45. Nosamwe Says:

    I prefer option 2. While I agree it would be nice to edit preferences in lockinfo, I really like the load more option and having complete control vs just the choices listed in lockinfo. For example, I have several email accounts on iPhone and max choice of 20 vs being able to choose 40 is great.

  46. Chris Says:

    Can’t wait for the new beta to knock out the annoying date/time glitch in the Todo plugin. Other than that little problem, I’m LOVING this theme!

    Also, I’m itching to get my hands on LockInfo 2.0, so if anyone can definitively find a location for it, please share!

  47. Raky Says:

    Could you please add support for Things?

    ctx.ath.the-kenny.ThingsPlugin?

    This theme is great and I’d love to see Things supported so I can use it!

    Keep up the great work, this looks beautiful!

  48. Gordon Says:

    your theme work great on lockinfo 2.0.
    actually , the repo “beta” is no longer available . u may check it on
    new cydia lockinfo repo.

    iphone.ashman.com/lockinfo

  49. prof_hastig Says:

    Obama said: Yes You! Can!

  50. dmeerpa Says:

    For the day night parameter, couldn’t you use the clock.

    Let’s say 19:00 is starting the night, 06:00 is starting the day. Maybe with a variable defined in the config, so it can easely adapted to the preferences of the user.

  51. Tim Says:

    I have 2 small problems:

    - The colors of my calendar don’t match, all items are given the same color (bright green)
    - Notifications (push) don’t disappear after opening the app that received them (whatsapp), they keep showing on the lockscreen.

    Any way to resolve these issues ?

  52. Grodi Says:

    @dmeerpa

    What’s exactly the deal with the night/day parameter? It is working for me. Yersterday it turned to night mode at the right time (the big icon sun turned to a moon). Am I missing something?

    Btw, Obama was right, added the new repo, and lockinfo 2.0 showed up. Love this new version (Ame, a few new things to implement, I’m afraid ;-) )

  53. dmeerpa Says:

    @ Grodi: It was a reply on these two postings.

  54. StarSoft Says:

    @Rime
    The calendar items only have a different when you use multiple calendars. The iPhone calendar only will show green dots, if sync with another calendar you will see those items have different color dots.

  55. StarSoft Says:

    @Tim i mean :s

  56. lk Says:

    Is it possible to have a button that clears the notifications history? Also a refresh button for the weather would be nice.

    Other cool things would be:
    - the icon of the application near the relative notification
    - touching the notification opens the application after the unlock (exactly how the popups work)

    Thank you anyway, I love this theme!

  57. Tim Says:

    @Starsoft
    I’m using multiple calendars, but still i only see green dots.
    With the default lockinfo screen (without the theme) I see the colored dots.

    Not sure how to fix this…

    I definitely support a ‘clear notifications’ button, it is kind of annoying to have old messages on that screen…

  58. StarSoft Says:

    @lk
    The clear notification button would be nice yeah and possible to implement. I think the weather refreshes when you open your weather app, but not sure. Don’t think the weather plugin can be forced to refresh with only html or javascript. As all what happens in this theme is that the information given out by lockinfo (and it’s plugins) is changed in view by html and javascript, nothincg can be controlled with it i think.

    The other two changes i think are not possible with only html either. This is why the real Elements app would come in handy. Otherwise ame235 needs to include icons for all the applications which use push (or a couple and one default when an icon is missing). But starting an app through html is not possible besides i think Facebook as it uses some sort of links in the contact-list to start up, but not sure those work in html.

    @Tim
    Sorry didn’t know you had. Sounds like a coding problem then, for me it works fine.

  59. lk Says:

    Cool, the new lockinfo can delete email and sms’s! Will it be hard to implement in the theme?

    Can i ask you guys if you can move twitter to the bottom? It stays on top of the other plugins even if i reorganize it at the bottom.
    I’m having problems with the mail now, it doesn’t show up even if i have new emails. Can it be related to lockinfo 2.0?

    Other cool things would be a refresh button to download new emails :D

  60. ame235 Says:

    @Starsoft, Lk, Tim..
    //weather refresh:
    StarSoft is completely true, i removed the (onclick) refresh for the weather as the data recieved is still the same, until it changes…
    so the plugin decides when there is new data.. Well if you really whant a button i can make it, but it don’t think it will refresh faster.

    //app starting:
    I already talked about this, and again thnx StarSoft for repeating, this is just a theme guys, it might look as complete as you want, it’s not an app.
    we’re all waiting for Elements here :p

    //Clear notifications:
    i’ll look it I can make a workaround..might be possible.

    //icons near notiications:
    nope, this would be enormous work of referencing app name + icon just to show a little icon..
    OMG where did the terminal user go? ?ü!!üü

    Oh, idea: gonna make a personal theme less GUI more code! YAY!!

    //////////////////////
    Besides all this,
    i think there are more important bugs than those ones.. I still have something like 20 main bugs…
    One of them: sms DATE, returns an absurd value. like in year 2041…and that must be the plugins fault, so no sms sent time…
    i don’t remember who told me about a scrolling problem, but since i installed Appigo i have that problem,
    and it’s annoying!!!

  61. lk Says:

    uhm… alternatively you can you implement a holographic 3d interface that comes out of the screen if I’ve got a new IM message? xD

    Aside from that, I see the new lockinfo can do a lot of nice things that interact with the apps of the phone.

  62. ame235 Says:

    That’s because lockinfo is an application.. not a javascript ;)
    and again, that’s why it would be great to have elements,
    BTW, you can still ask Mr. Ashman to sell you the code and develop it from there :P

    Ps: i’m working on the holographic interface, but it’s unfortunately not 3d XD

    oh and here is the

    235_teeh_BETA.theme.zip v 0.99-2

    (file reupped.. so clear cache ;) )

  63. geo411m Says:

    It’s looking great. I see you added the todo priority icons. It looks very polished. You managed to get out the collapse bug and you adjusted the fonts. I’m still looking it over but haven’t found any problems. I have to say it appears near perfect now.

    BTW, I’m glad you used a different link name. It makes it easier for us to know when it’s updated.

  64. dmeerpa Says:

    @ TIM

    The default LockInfo shows a dot that corresponds to a specific calendar.
    This team shows a dot corresponding to the type of appointment. (Birthday, all day, appointment)

    Personally I also prefer a dot that corresponds to a specific calendar. With the exception of a Birthday, that may be another icon, like a cake.
