Ptksl Appt Plug-In - Copyright 2004 Patrick Trent Sullivan, All rights reserved.
This Windows Mobile Smartphone plugin is a replacement for the built in "All Day Event Plug-In" and the built in "Calendar Plug-In". The plug in allows you to make better use of your home screen''s limited display area. Every 20 seconds, it will cycle through and display all your all day events and all the upcoming appointments for today and tomorrow. While not cycling, the plugin will display the nearest upcoming appointment.
In addition, the plug in may be "selected", and then you may manually scroll left and right through your entire Outlook appointment database. When you unselect the plug in (by moving up or down to a different plug in) the automatic cycling behavior will restart.
Pressing the "Action" button while the plug in is selected will launch the built in calendar application (just like the same action on the built in "Calendar Plug-In").
The demonstration version is identical in function to the full version except that the background image is partly obscured by slanted pink lines. You may use the demonstration version for as long as you wish, without charge.
The application has been tested on the Cingular branded Motorola MPX220 running Windows Mobile 2003. The performance on other smartphone devices is unknown (although no problems are expected).
The application is unsigned, and can only be installed on an unlocked device. If your phone refuses to install unsigned applications, you must contact your mobile operator for assistance installing unsigned applications on your device.
For detailed instructions please see the file PtkslApptPlugInREADME.txt which will be installed in your Application DataHome folder
