SmartVista Interface for PPC

Do you want nicer look and feel on your mobile smartphone?
More useful and easier for all your daily needs?

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]


See on this program. It displays all information in one conveniently screen.
It simulates rich Windows VistaTM interface in a small screen of mobile device, includes Sidebar.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

This program was designed for Microsoft Smartphone devices with landscape screens, basically.
There is no reason at all, to not use it in other mobile devices with Windows Mobile system.
Specially, because it doesn't use touch-sensitivity screen for daily operating, but hardware keys only.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

The background:
You can select the background image from a few pre-installed pictures, or you can use your own image as you wish. Read the instruction below.
You change the background image if you press Action key while no other function for this button is available at this moment.

The background changes own size and position slightly. And additionally, it can be coloured by one of seven basic colors in the sequence running. Or you can select the static one color you like, incl. completed black. See below screenshots where you can notice these features.

On the right side, there are items of so called sidebar.

You can keep a whole sidebar on the top of screen always, or you can keep only the clock on the top.

Above the clock there are a network signal level bar and battery condition status.

On the top of sidebar, there is the animated weather icon and current felt temperature.

Certainly, to get weather information, you have to connect your smartphone to the Internet and download the database. You can do it manually, or this program can do it for you automatically every day, while you sleep.

In this program there are more screens. You can change the screen by Left or Right key (in PPC with touch-sensitivity screen, also by tap-and-move over the screen to the left or right side).

Although, the freeware version does not displays too much on other screens.


The Start Screen tries to show you all Today's important matters and subjects.

Depend from the case, if some item exists or not,
you read on the left side, below current date, as follow:
# Sun times
# Today's special name of day or allday event
# upcoming appointment from your Calendar
# alert about missed phone calls
# alert about received text messages
# the latest weather status
# the latest news from selected service
# current device status (if it works in your device)

At the moment, when someone calls you, the special alert about incoming phone call displayed.

If the Caller's number exists in your Contacts, the name of Caller displayed, instead of number. If this Contact has a picture, it displays on the top.

If you haven't taken the call, the alert stays on the screen, till you move to another screen. When you press Down key, you can see the name or number of Caller. If you missed more calls, the number of these calls is displayed.

The same event happens when new text message was received.

If you press Down key several times, you can read the number or name of Sender, and preview the last messages text. If you want to hide this information, just press Up key.

And, the same feature happens when news from on-line service is downloaded. When you press Down key, you can preview the whole text of the latest news.

Additionally, at the moment when some of these above alerts run, you can use Left menu button or Action key, to quickly callback to the last Caller, reply to Sender, or to open the news web page. (See the changes of menu descriptions, while you press Down/Up keys.)

Please note:
on the Start Screen only Today's events are used.

Other Screens

The weather:
This list of upcoming weather forecast.

Temperatures and humidities displayed on lines and bars special diagram, additionally.

There can be showing from one to ten upcoming days, depend from availability of on-line service.

If you use advanced function: Wake up for updating,
this forecast is ready from the morning every day.

The news:
The list of downloaded news from on-line service.

News are displayed in order of date and time of receiving.
Additional separators of days added.

You can press down/up keys to highlight one of news, when you press Action key at this moment, it will open Pocket Internet Explorer, and connect to the link of selected news.

The received messages history:
The list of received messages, but not read yet.

This list displays Sender's name or number, the time, and the preview of a whole text.
Messages are displayed in order of date and time of receiving. But all messages from the same Sender, in the same day, were connected in one thread.

You can press down/up keys to highlight one of messages. At this moment you can use the right menu to quick do Reply, Reply with original text (first 10 characters), or Forward a whole text to someone.

The missed phone calls:
This list displays Caller's name or number, and the time.
Calls are displayed in order of date and time. But all phones from the same Caller, in the same day, were connected in one thread.

You can press down/up keys to highlight one of missed calls. At this moment you can press Action key to start callback to the selected Sender.

Settings dialogs
A small lists of pre-defined cities for weather forecasts, and on-line news services, are build-in and ready in this program.
You can select from these lists, or write your own localization or address.
Displayed title names could written independently.

For weather service, you have to write a city or post code, and tap Search. While you are connected to Internet,
you should see a list of compatible and available in this service localizations. Just select the one you want.
The weather.com service provides data of forecast.

For news service, you have to write a whole path to the URL link of, so called, RSS service.
You should browse news service web page to find specified RSS or XML file link.

Please note.
Depend on your connection speed, downloading weather forecast or news events may take a several seconds.
Depend on your connection agreement, it will charge you every day, if you are using "automatic" updating in this program.

Additional customization:
# Background image
Make your image in the size but at least 640x280 pixels, any number of colours, save in .jpg or .png format, name in the beginning with "background".
The program looks for all images begun with "background" in name within its installation folder. By default it's Program Files\JGUI\smartvista
# Weather icons
Smaller icons in weather forecast: collect all 44 images of weather statuses in one row, each image in 32x32 pixels, any number of colors
and 255,0,255 as transparent background color. Replace the original weathericons.png with the new one you made.
Larger animated icons in Start Screen: collect all animations in files names from weather0.png to weather48.png
Each frame in size 100x75 pixels, any number of colours and 0,0,0 as transparent background. These animations can have any number of frames,
under these rules: only one frame - no animation, two frames - rotate scaling animation, 3 frames - random frame and a little shacking,
less than 21 frames - animation in reverse loop, over 20 frames - animation in sequence loop.


Downloads:
You can download and use a freeware version, from this link or below on-line services.
This freeware version is no time-limited,
the only restrictions: you cannot read details on other screens than the Start Screen,
and automatic updating does not work.

The latest version: 1.15. updated 25 January 2007
(version number added in a welcome screen)


Works with WM2003,WM2003SE and WM5

Well herz serial Key: vis-3892-sm44Art

It's patially working on my Eten X500. Here's what I got:

1.There's no clock on side bar, just signal and battery.
2. There's no start or menue icons at the bottom.
3. If I click on the menu icon (which is not shown but clicking on the space) the menu comes up. But when I close it, the original "Today" screen is shown at the bottom. The only way I get it back is to restart the program.
4. I can't get missid calls or SMSs as it says unregistered version.
5. Finally, the program says it's version 1.2

Work on Portrait mode ?

It works , but it doesn't cover all screen , and you can't see the side bar ...
Anyway it is a really poor software

zaidam
15th February 2007, 05:47
Installed on XDA II, can't c the side bar...,etc. VERY POOR SOFTWARE designed.

ReVan
15th February 2007, 10:17
For all those who are complaining for the sidebar not appearing etc. and the software not working in Portrait mode. Then I suggest you all should go to the author's homepage and read that it's purely for SmartPhones. The PPC version has yet to be released which will support Landscape and Portrait.

Actually there is a version for Pocket PC devices available on the site.

They can be downloaded from here:

EXE version - [Only registered and activated users can see links] (.exe file for installation from PC by MS ActiveSync)

CAB version - [Only registered and activated users can see links] (.cab file for installation from mobile device directly)

Note: That this version only supports landscape, however (for now anyway).

I'm using a full version of WM6 now ... this Vista Interface still looks a hell of lot better ... WM6 is just faster, better written OS ... nothing new as of GUI.

Just wish this had all of the same features spb's shell has installed.... maybe once iphone comes out it might put some heat on Microsoft to make a sweeter looking GUI.

I just wanted to say thanks to USHDD for not telling everyone how dumb they are acting.

First post has serial on it, but this post is flooded with requests like "does it need a serial, is it freeware?"

I love ipmart forum the great content here. Let`s please not fill it up with "i`m too lazy to read the posts before asking a lame question"

well done USHDD, shame it`s a crappy app. For those that want a nice reskin, there are many more in this forum. Try Wisbar Advance 2 and Wisbar Advance Desktop, both great and work together too.
