Please post any comments and feedback about the release in the Community (registration required, its free).
A major addition to 2.1 was script error notification, as a result we’re seeing some applets are requiring some fixes. The community has been fantastic and gotten together a list of applets that are error free.
The 2.1.02 release adds in the outputting of the error messages to a text file so this information can be fed back to the applet developers.
We’ve had some great feedback and suggestions from the community with our 2.1 release. We have implemented some suggested functionality and fixed a few bugs, 2.1.02 is now available. Release notes are in Docs for those interested.
An important component of the 2.1 release was the inclusion of a Common script location for useful functionality and customisation. We have included classes for Bitmap Label, Variable Edges and Twitter. Pro also users have access to extending Screen related methods for a large part of Home.
We have updated the theme files to include some generic buttons, edges and title for themers. When creating a theme please note that any resources in the applet take precedence over the theme. Please remove any images in the applet to ensure you see the them images.
The applets in the 2.1 release that use these graphics and are a good example of how they are put together in an applet are, Messaging, Tasks and Appointments.
For Pro themers there are specific edge graphics which are specific for the Contact Screens.
The default theme in Docs and details about the theme will be updated over the coming days.
If you’ve been following our Roadmap then your wait is finally over, 2.1 is here. If you’ve just joined us then great timing, 2.1 contains a healthy list of enhancements and fixes along with a new default theme.
Pro customers can update from their phones or in the link originally provided when they purchased Home 2 Pro. As there have been changes in the default theme we recommend you backup your current copy and do a fresh install.
