rlToday Help Please :)

cincy1020 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-21-2007, 09:19 PM

Hi am trying to set up rlToday, and my SMS button keeps taking me to mail application. SMS button is currently configured as follows:

<Image x="5" y="15" source="bg_s.png" />
- <Text text="SMS" x="26" y="17" alignment="Center" color="RGB(160, 160, 160)">

<OnClick File="\Windows\tmail.exe" />
</Text>
- <Registry key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\U nread\Count" unknown="0" x="27" y="33" alignment="Center" color="RGB(230, 230, 230)">

<OnClick File="\Windows\tmail.exe" />

What would be the correct path in order to take me to SMS inbox (on a Treo 750 WM5)?
Thanks so much!!

PS: SMS counter does display SMS count correctly, just wont take me to SMS app when clicked

"\Windows\tmail.exe" opens the Outlook email in wm5.

I'm on wm6 and there might be some differences, since tmail in wm6 doesnt open outlook directly, but the link I use to open sms is "Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS".
For MMS use "MMS" instead.

Hi Blablum:
Thanks so much for your response! Unfortunately, WM6 must be different than WM5 settings, because it did not work at all

Thank you for taking the time to respond though.

If anyone else happens to know how I can get my settings right, I'd really appreciate the help

I think the problem is rltoday does not support having two pairs of quotes in the link. Make a text file with the following line on it:
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS"
Save it as sms.lnk and click on it on explorer. If it works, you can make onclick in rltoday with this file. It works for me.

Hey:
You are great! You are absolutely right, that worked perfectly. Now the only thing is I'm not sure what I need to replace.
Here is the code I am using, I wonder if you could please let me know where I need to put the path you gave me? The bold red letters are the two places I have tried the path you gave me, and neither worked. I kept getting an error message.

Also, do you happen to know of a way I can add a tiny clock icon, which can be clicked on to go to alarms, like the one next to the default today screen date? The reason I ask, is that I would like to remove the date from today screen, but don't want to lose easy access to alarms.
I really appreciate your help

Thanks so much!

Save sms.lnk to \windows and use <OnClick File="\Windows\sms.lnk" />. For the clock you can use something like

<DigitalClock x="120" y="12" format="HH:mm" color="RGB(255, 255 ,255)" Alignment="Center">
<OnClick File="\Windows\clock.exe" />
</DigitalClock>

but you'll have to adjust position and size.

Hi Blablum:
You are awesome!
I haven't tried the clock thing yet, but your suggestions for SMS, were right on. I changed path as you told me, and it's working perfectly.
Seriously, thanks so much for taking the time to help a newbie

Hi Blablum:
Clock worked perfectly, just as you said

One last question, then I promise to stop bugging you

How can I get the clock to be an analog clock? If that's not possible can the digital clock be in 12 hour instead of 24 hour format?

Thanks again!!

You'll have to use the AnalogClock tag instead of digitalClock. Go over to rotlaus-software.de and check out the dokumentation to learn how to use analog clock, you will need a clock image and minute and hour hands.

And for future reference, you do not have to create a shortcut file to use a command that has two quote strings. For example...

<OnClick File="\Windows\tmail.exe" Command='-service "SMS"' />

If your command contains quotation marks within it, surround the command with single quotes instead of normal ones.

And to link to your email inbox, change the SMS in the tag above to the display name of whatever email account you want to link to

Anybody know why I can't use Chowfun as a font in Rl Today? I have installed the font in Windows/Font, and I have replaced the font names in the skin.xlm in the skin folder.
