nice!
yes, you need to download/install taskman&fileman seperately now, but it looks great .... good job!

Posted by Andy1018
Wow! got it now. Very excited with this app.

Posted by RB26DETTGT_R
Cool, this app looks nice. Anyone got a quick link for taskman and fileman?? Also, have any better skins been made?

I like the layout of the default skin, but it needs the day and date on it like azure. Im sure a few ppl have already made skins for it.

Where can we get the Tracker Skin Editor?

@SWEET HEART

When do you think your MXP skin will be released? It looks like the best skin for the way I use my phone. I have played around with FXP and I am very impressed, but I think it gets a little messy if you are constantly switching between the fullscreen skin and other programs. Also, why is there a line down the middle in the FXP skin?

Cheers.

I'm using Tracker 3 now instead of Handy Day.

Posted by ia29
is there any way to place icons symmetrically, horizontally or verticaly. it is difficult to adjust manually.

Attention!!
:shock: This is still a test version... there are still some bugs and he is not compatible with BugMe ! :!:

Symbianware have done an awesome job!
Freely placing the icons just anywhere on the screen is wicked!

Just some minor wishes for a next update:
- snap to grid (Some people may actually like to have the icons nicely aligned. A snap-to-grid function would solve that)

- lock icon: we can launch just about everything, but I really got used to the lock-icon in the previous version.

- Better themes: I'm sure the community will make a lot of skins but you as Symbianware should also include some more professional looking themes...

Posted by Bogus Jimmy
Agreed.

Snap-to-grid and lock icon would be great (although I am trying out SClock as my lock at the moment).

And on point 3, I think the skins available so far are quite amazing, especially the Warcraft skin (althought it may not be as functional as other skins). I think there is a lot of potential for some amazing things to be done with this program.

One comment. The idea that the skins are really functional and not just wallpapers (different skins have different capabilities as shown in the 3 default skins) makes customization more DIFFICULT. It's not as simple as pasting any picture in the background. It need some programming and button assignments like OggPlay skins.

But it does a good job in changing the phones User Interface -- easy acces to several tasks and applications. I liked the shortcuts to SMS, MMS, Dialing, and even documents (just like windows). And you can also change the icons easily just by associating a picture to the app. No more painstaking processes of changing application icons (as discussed in some other threads in this forum). = )

People who yak at how lousy UIQ is should try this app for a change.

Posted by jomni1
Grrrr. I take back what I said before in the previous post. Because I found a big BUG! Unlike Tracker 2, the shortcuts disappear PERMANENTLY when you switch Memory Sticks.

I use 2 Memory Sticks (one for apps and another for Oggs). I set up shortcuts on my Apps MS. I switched to my Ogg MS and the shortcuts disappeared like before. But when I returned to my Apps MS, they did not reappear.

Looks like im going back to tracker 2 for now.

I don't like skin. Miss the change-in-anytime wallpaper function.

Date and month are missing in most skins except Azure

And it's pain in the ass to have to make the small shortcuts again and again for every new skin.

@ Bogus Jimmy,

The line is a just an idea, FXP skin was just to test the functionality of the complete fullscreen of tracker 3!

There will be more fullscreen skins, and there will be a open source skin, so u guys can edit it yourself, symbianware asked me if they are allowed to put the source on the website, i still did not answer, i dont like it when people change/edit my work!

Ok i understand that u guys want backgrounds...

Note that MXP will be released today, i think...

I just love the way the MXP skin looks. When can we get our greedy little hands on it ?

Tracker 3 rocks my phone.

|o| !!!!

Guys, do realize that MXP has not the functionality of the FXP skin, MXP is more lighted and a smaller skin, its main work is to work between normal apps, so...

It should be in one hour on the site of Symbianware!

Posted by Andy_P
So far it looks very nice indeed.

Well worth the wait.



Posted by axl
I am going to get it for sure!

I think I will learn how to create the Tracker Skin with their skin editor, then perhaps I can put the skins on my site (www.symmobile.com) for people to download.

BTW we have just get listed on SymbianPages.com.

heh, i've messed around with the skin editor...turns out pretty much to do to get a skin to work...still haven't got the date right...

You know how the fxp skin is full screen, how can you make it so that its still full screen, but all the bottow p800 stuff is shown (battery, signal, bluetooth etc.....) This skin would be awesome if:

-we had the skin semi fullscreen, so that we could still see the bar at the bottom with battery, etc
- DISPLAY THE DAY AND DATE on the normal screen along with thew time thats already there.
- take away that line down the middle (although its good to use speed dials on one side, apps on the other.

If somebody can show me how to do this, id be sweet. I dont understand how to do it myself

Posted by ShaneMcFarland
Umm, I don't know...I have to admit I'm a bit disapointed here.

There ARE some definite improvements, but for one, I ALWAYS used jog dial in for fileman and jog dial out for taskman. Now I can't do that. I liked having a separate lock screen. The today screen load is even SLOWER this time around. You can't align icons. For some reason I can't see the entire date STILL (right now I'm missing the 'T' and half the "u" in tuesday, and the number of the date (14). Anyone want to tell me how to fix this problem? (azure skin)

Posted by kearnage
I too am a bit disappointed with this release.

1. I don't like the fact that TaskMan and FileMan are separate applications

2. I don't like the fact that you have to press the blue button to unlock the phone. While I'm at work I have my phone sat in the cradle and I use Remote P800 to access it. Now I have to keep reaching over and pressing the button before I can do anything. I might as well just pick the phone up. I would like the choice of a button on the screen as before or pressing the blue button.

3. I don't like the fact that there is no longer a separate lock screen.

4. It would be nice to have the icons snap into position if you wanted them to.

There are some really nice features here, don't get me wrong. It just seems that SymbianWare have fallen into the same hole as SE did when they first released the P800. Put some amazing features in to impress everybody but forget to put in the basic features that made previous models so good.

Posted by Mimzo
I agree that having snap-to-grid or any other way of making the icons line-up or cascade into place is absolutely essential. If you're OCD like me, you like your icons neatly stacked and carefully aligned on your desktop. Instead of being scattered with uneven spaces here and there between them.

That's my main reservation about Tracker 3. Apart from that, and as I said before, Tracker 3 Rocks my P800

MXP is up and I just downloaded it.

I feel like a little kid happy with a new toy with Tracker 3

how do i download tracker3?

i used the link at the bottom of the page and it wouldnt install.

i am using my p800 via o2 gprs.

all that happens is i get the message å›: in the p800 viewer.

what have i done wrong? can u email me the solution 2 adrn22m@o2.co.uk please?

i have bought tracker2, how do i upgrade 2 tracker3? how much does it cost 2 upgrade?

i am still new 2 all this, so any help would be appreciated.

ok, i went to:

http://my-symbian.com and downloaded all 3 components of tracker 3, and entered the original code and email address 4 tracker2 in tracker3 and the 2 sub component parts, - the running application manager and the file manager, and it converts the demo in2 the registered version. thanks sweetheart!

it is great now we have the 3 applications of tracker2 in 3 seperate indipendant programs, less memory is used so can run more applications!


i still cant use the link sweetheart posted though at page1.

anybody know why? it has happened loads of times on o2 and orange dial up and gprs internet and wap, so it is not due 2 the network settings!

thanks everybody! tracker in any version is fantastic! i most often use the application manager as most programs cant be closed from within the program! cheers sweetheart!

I have a problem with the skins.
When i have trabnsfered a skin to the phone eg the documents map, how do I make tracker see it? I use the funktion lmport kin but it dont see it.

Posted by welsh uk
I have to admit that at first i was a bit dissapointed in tracker 3

But after playing with it for a while i am much happier with this app

The full screen desktop is much better and if i want to see the battery just click on the top right hand corner X then go back to desktop

Importing the background is now a doddle now that i have sussed it out

And being able to pick your own icons for the desktop is a much added bonus

Overall i will be now sticking with tracker 3

Posted by Venus
May be a stupid question but I have the up to date version of Handy Day, what does Tracker have that handy day dont ? is it much better ?

Also does Tracker have the facility to show a pic of the person who has sent you a text message on the desk top, from the website it looks like it does !?

Posted by Mimzo
@Venus

Tracker 3 is much more customizable than Handy Day. It is also more versatile and does a lot of things that Handy Day does not do. Concerning the pictures you saw, these are shortcuts to send SMS to people for which you have pictures associated with their contacts.

Learn more about the full list of features Here

Is it possible to make tracker start automatically when you turn on your P800? So you'll get tracker as your default desktop?


Posted by efjay
Can someone say what the actual improvements are in tracker 3 apart from skins? Any improvement in the today screen, does it show new emails, how about automatically compacting memory? Cant say im too excited about just putting "themes" on my phone, how about practical improvements? Sman to me looks to have better functionality

No problem

Posted by mmsman
um...oh....great program but, may I ask how can you install themes, I put the skin files in other and documents directory but how do I get it to work with tracker?

or have I missed something logical and I'm anoying all of you....

Posted by RyaN
are you trying to use the old tracker 2.0 skins?? if so, i dont think they work with 3.0. please correct me if im wrong..

Posted by welsh uk
Use fileman to move the file from other to the tracker skins folder

Then under skins you will be able to use it

Tracker3 don't use background picture like tracker2, you can't change them... it is a complete skin that you can't change like that, you will have to create it all and believe me, it' s not that easy ! lolll



Posted by RyaN
yeh yeh i knew that. and im just starting to release how difficult its gonna be to create your own one! lol. many many wasted hours ahead i feel!!!

*Kuh*, many hours?

I dont think u even can gues how many days i spend making FXP skin!
2 WEEKS!

Making skins cant get easier, i was able to make these 2 skin cause i have the experience...

One tip thoug... Just use your imagination, and do not immediately start with editing the original source codes, design your skin first, thats the best way...

More skins to come...

is there gonna be a better skin editor? like 1 where we can make skins easier? right now i cant change the background and its just so annoying to make a whole skin just to change the background. skins r a nice idea but there should b a feature to change background aswell?

Posted by skabbe
hmm is there a way to make the screan NOT to light when i press the screan while it locked, i like the bluebotton tho..

Posted by [-SWEET-HEART-]
