Anyone planning to develop Panels?

[Reggie]

I'm just wondering if there are developers around who are planning to develop Panels.

[Massamino]

Maybe. I'm not a C programmer but a C# or VB .NET one. So if it is possible that someone makes a overlaying framework to use it in c# than I could make something maybe

If you can do nice changes in XML I might attack some when I finally buy my phone.
I took a look at the HTCHomeSettings.xml from the TouchFlo-port to X1 and it doesn't seem too hard. I don't know what all the parameters is about, but at a first look it's quite simple.

messed around with the native panel examples
and one have to do pure win32 code to do stuff
so the time from start to where one got something
to show and that works takes a bit longer
then in .net and even old microMFC

but then many developers write in pure win32 anyway
because that's where the speed is to be found
on windows mobile

I am quite a good software developer in C++. If you guys can think of anything that I should make, and I also think that's a good thing for me to have, I'll do it :-)

youtube panel
itune remote panel and maybe play local m4a stuff
skype / general IM panel
2th life panel (that is if it was not a general fail these days)
joost panel
google earth panel
hp48 emulator panel

is would i would make if i had more time
and is doing mostly .net these days and panels are
pure win32 so it takes a lot more mucking about
to get something up and running

but i will kick my own end to make something sooner or later

btw feel free to steal my ideas

A notepad panel. Switch to it and you can jot down notes with the stylus or switch to text mode and type notes with the keyboard.

Definitely MySpace panel would be awesome!

Just my 2 cents...

Let's not create a panel when an application would do the job just fine. A Panel is essentially a Today screen replacement. It creates an environment, a purposeful portal for your device. It may perform a function or a set of functions and still allows access to your other applications and services.

I agree. Panels would be useful when collecting some more apps, functions.
Would be great to have some simple tools to do that by oneself.
