-
- Important note: Before updating or deleting any Hackmaster program,
- be sure to disable the application first in the Hackmaster control
- screen. Also turn off "TealLock" first if you are running this application.
- If you fail to do so, your TealGlance will not operate, and Hackmaster
- will get confused until you disable and re-enable TealGlance a few
- times.
-
- "TealGlance" uses the "HackMaster" System Extensions Manager by Edward
- Keyes (*See references below). This is a safe and standard way to
- add and manage extended system functionality on the PalmPilot.
-
- Use the PalmPilot installer to install the program file "TEALGLNC.PRC",
- "CALLGLNC.PRC", and "HACKMSTR.PRC", if you do not already have it
- on your machine. Instructions on how to use the PalmPilot installer
- are in the PalmPilot Handbook that came with your Pilot, PalmPilot,
- or WorkPad.
-
- "CallGlance" will appear on your applications screen as a standard
- program labeled 'Teal Glance' (with space), but the real program is
- hidden and is activated only through "HackMaster". To turn on "TealGlance",
- simply click on the "HackMaster" icon in the applications launcher,
- and click on the checkmark next to the "TealGlance" entry in the "Hacks"
- list.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Using the Program
-
- By default, "TealGlance" is automatically activated when you turn
- on your Pilot using the green power button. The information window
- will pop up and disappear after a configurable time limit. To make
- the window disappear sooner, just click anywhere with the pen or press
- one of the buttons on the Pilot, such as the up and down scroll buttons.
- If you hold down the pen, TealGlance will stay on screen until you
- release it.
-
- As an alternate way to bring up TealGlance, use the CallGlance program
- (appears as "Teal Glance" in the App launcher). The display will come
- up and stay on screen, updating itself every 30 seconds until another
- application is selected.
-
- To configure "TealGlance", activate the Hackmaster application and
- click on the plus (+) button next to "TealGlance". Here, you can adjust
- the format of the popup window, set the time it stays on screen, and
- adjust many other options. Additionally you may enter a keyword you
- receive when you register the product to remove the 'Please Register'
- text in the popup window. When you enter the password, the entry line
- in the config screen will still remain as it is, but you should not
- longer get the "Please Register" messages.
-
- Datebook events appear in chronological order by start time, and are
- included up to an hour after start time (in case you're running late),
- or until the stop time has passed, whichever is latest. Tommorow's
- events are shown, if selected and there is room, after today's event
- separated by a horizontal line and enclosed in brackets.
-
- Unchecked ToDo items in the selected category are shown sorted by
- priority. If you are using the Alt-ToDo feature, the current category
- can change depending on the time and day of the week. See options
- below for more info.
-
- You may click on an entry to go to either the ToDo application or
- the Datebook application. This feature requires that your hardware
- buttons have the default mappings to the standard ToDo and Datebook
- apps. You will go to the correct day if clicking on a datebook item,
- but when going to the ToDo list application, the current category
- may not reflect the item you chose. You may also click on a checkmark
- box on the TealGlance screen to check-off a listed ToDo item, provided
- you are not activating TealGlance from within the ToDo application.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

-
- * Dusk
- Set dusk time (for backlight option above).
-
-
- * Enable when Locked
- Set whether TealGlance is activated even if Pilot is locked.
-
-
-
- * Disable if off less than xxx mins
- Doesn't come up if PDA is turned off less than a specified number
- of minutes
-
-
- * Disable after on for xxx mins
- Set a minimum time between popups, regardless of the Pilot's
- on/off state. After it's already been popped up, TealGlance
- won't come come up at powerup again unless the specified number
- of minutes has passed.
-
-
- * Power Off after timeout
- Turns off Pilot if TealGlance is activated at powerup and is
- allowed to time out without a key or pen press.
-
-
- * Bold Font
- Use a bold font for appointment and ToDo item display
-
-
- Datebook Options
- The following options may be changed by pressing the 'Date Options'
- button on the config screen.
-
-
- * Show Tomorrow's events
- With this option on, tomorrow's datebook items are shown below
- today's remaining ones, with a line separating the two.
-
- * Show Untimed events
- With this option on, untimed events are shown in TealGlance.
-
-
- * Do full scan of datebook
- By default, TealGlance assumes the datebook is sorted by date.
- The standard Palm applications guarantees this to be true. Unfortunately,
- many third-party conduits and hotsync replacement programs have
- bugs with scramble the Datebook, causing entries not to appear
- in TealGlance. Choosing this option forces TealGlance to look
- through the whole datebook each time, so it will find items
- even in a corrupt datebook database.
-
- ToDo Options
- The following options may be changed by pressing the 'Date Options'
- button on the config screen.
-
-
- * Show when due
- Allows filtering of which ToDo items to show by Due Date
- Choices Are:
-
-
- * Show All
- Show ToDo items ignoring Due Date
-
- * Due Today
- Only show items due Today or earlier
-
- * Due Sometime
- Only show items with some due date set
-
- * Today or Unset
- Only show items due Today or without a due date set
-
-
-
- * Primary Categories
- Sets the default categories of ToDo items to be shown. Up to
- two categories can be selected. If only one is needed, set them
- to be the same.
-
- NOTE: PalmPilot OS2.0 (personal and professional) filters out
- empty ToDo categories from appearing in the settings menu. Because
- of this you will not be able to select a Category if it is empty.
- If this happens, just create a temporary ToDo entry to make
- the category appear.
-
-
- * Alt Categories
- Sets the alternate categories of ToDo items to be shown during
- non-primary hours (by default 9am-6pm Monday through Friday).
-
-
-
- * Primary Beg Time
- Sets start time for when the Primary ToDo category becomes valid.
-
-
-
- * Primary End Time
- Sets end time for when the Primary ToDo category becomes invalid.
-
-
-
- * Primary ToDo Days
- Selects days for which the Primary ToDo category is valid.
-
-
- Advanced Options
- The following options may be changed by pressing the 'Advanced'
- button on the config screen.
-
-
- * Simulated Buttons for Goto
- Simulates a press of one of the app buttons for app-goto instead
- of directly calling the system applications. You can use this
- option if you're using a ToDo or datebook replacement and want
- to go to it instead of the standard system app. If the app you
- want to call is 100% compatible with the standard app, you can
- use the "Alt Date App" and "Alt ToDo App" options below.
-
-
- * Pass-thru button presses
- Normally, if you press a button when TealGlance's screen is
- up, it dismisses TealGlance, but doesn't perform its normal
- function afterwards. This allows you to, say, press the Power
- button twice when turning on the PalmPilot to immediately dismiss
- TealGlance. When this option is set, the key instead performs
- its normal function after TealGlance goes away.
-
-
- * Ignore pager activation
- If selected, this option forces TealGlance to check it the PDA
- were woken up by pager hardware. If true, TealGlance will not
- come up. If you do not have Pager hardware or a Palm VII, you
- should leave this unchecked, as as it makes some assumptions
- about the hardware you are running to make its check.
-
-
- * Disable button power-on
- This feature allows you to prevent accidental power-on, particularly
- on a Palm V, by automatically turning off the Pilot if turned
- on via a specified key.
-
-
- * Scan for alternate files
- Some desktop synchronizing programs create datebook files with
- different names than the standard 'DatebookDB' database. Set
- this option to tell TealGlance to scan for these databases as
- well, especially if you are finding that datebook entries are
- not being shown.
-
-
- * Alt Date App
- Select and set this option to choose a Datebook replacement
- app to call when you click on a datebook item. Note that the
- replacement application must be 100% compatible with standard
- app's record-goto mechanism to work properly.
-
-
- * Alt ToDo App
- Select and set this option to choose a ToDoList replacement
- app to call when you click on a ToDo item. Note that the replacement
- application must be 100% compatible with standard app's record-goto
- mechanism to work properly.
-
-
- Brainforest Options
- TealGlance offers support for using Aportis Brainforest trees as
- sources for ToDo items. You can select up to two Brainforest trees
- to be scanned at any one time. Two can be set to supplement the
- Primary ToDo Categories and another two can be set to supplement
- the Alternate ToDo Categories. The entries are treated as standard
- ToDo entries, ignoring repeating and start dates.
-
- Note that clicking on a Brainforest item will start Brainforest,
- but won't automatically take you directly to that item or tree
- due to differences between the standard applications' record-goto
- mechanism and Brainforest.
- The following options may be changed by pressing the 'Brainforest'
- button on the config screen.
-
-
- * Primary Trees #1 and #2
- These are the two trees that can be used as sources for ToDo
- items during Primary ToDo hours.
-
-
- * Alternate Trees #1 and #2
- These are the two trees that can be used as sources for ToDo
- items during Non-Primary ToDo hours.
-
-
- * Show root branches only
- By default, TealGlance scans down a Brainforest tree from top
- down, reading all leaves of the tree. If you set this option,
- only items from the topmost level (Leftmost in Brainforest)
- get displayed.
-
-
- * Show before standard
- If set Brainforest entries appear before standard ToDos instead
- of after them.
-
-
- * Show Memo leaves
- Shows memo-type leaves in TealGlance. They appear in the ToDo
- list with a rectangular document icon instead of a checkbox.
-
-
-
- * Show ToDo leaves
- Shows ToDo-type leaves in TealGlance. They appear the same as
- ToDo list items from the standard ToDoList application. If neither
- this nor the previous option is set, no Brainforest items will
- appear.
-
-

-
- Troubleshooting
-
- Installing and Running
-
- If you are having problems getting the program to run, be sure that
- you have installed all three files: HackMaster, TealGlance, and CallGlance.
- Refer to the PalmPilot manual that came with your unit if you are
- unsure how to do this.
-
- Afterwards, be sure to activate "TealGlance" by running "HackMaster"
- and selecting the checkmark next to "TealGlance". If it still does
- not work, try unselecting and reselecting the checkmark. If "Hackmaster"
- has gotten confused because you either updated or deleted "TealGlance"
- without first deselecting it in "Hackmaster", "Hackmaster" will likely
- crash, but with no lingering side effects afterwards.
-
- Lastly, check the "TealGlance" options in "Hackmaster" ('+' key) to
- insure it is set up to activate by your desired choices.
-
- Other questions
-
- * " It doesn't work properly with Fitaly Keyboard "
- Make sure TealGlance appears above Fitaly Keyboard in Hackmaster's
- list of hacks. Do this by deactivating and reactivating TealGlance.
- Also make sure you have the latest TealGlance.
-
- * " It doesn't work properly with DateBk3 alarms "
- Make sure you are running version 3.0 or newer of Datebk3. This
- new version reportedly reduces stack usage, making it much more
- compatible with hacks like TealGlance.
-
- * " I deleted it and it still comes up "
- As noted in the documentation, before deleting TealGlance or any
- Hackmaster app, you must first turn off the program in HackMaster.
- If you forgot, you'll need to restart the PalmPilot using the pinhole
- in the back.
-
- * " TealGlance still doesn't come up at power-on "
- Are you running PowerHack? Make sure TealGlance appears first in
- the Hackmaster list by deactivating and reactivating it.
-
- * " My datebook events aren't showing "
- TealGlance only shows "upcoming" events, not those that have expired,
- and will show as many as will fit, unless you have TealGlance setup
- to show To-Do items as well. If this is the case, it will stop
- at half screen. When you register, the space behind the 'Please
- Register' box will also become available.
-
- * " I checked. They still aren't showing "
- If you are running Groupwise/Syncwise (or similar sync/datebook
- replacement), this program appears to have a bug that mis-sorts
- the datebook database, rendering some items invisible. To check,
- download "dbScan" from http://www.gorilla-haven.org/pimlico, which
- can be used to check the datebook database's integrity. TealGlance
- 2.62 added a feature that assumes a damaged database and does a
- full scan of the database each time. TealGlance 2.83 added a feature
- to skip over damaged records in the database instead of aborting
- when it encounters one.
-
- * " I'm running Easysync. Is that a problem? "
- It appears to be. The Easysync package seems to rename the datebook
- database so TealGlance can't find it. Try setting the "scan for
- alternate files" options in the advanced options screen.
-
- * " Can TealGlance's screen scroll? "
- Not yet, as it was intended to just preview the next thing coming
- up. We may add this in a future version.
-
- * " I hotsynced a new version and it crashed "
- As noted in the documentation, before HotSyncing a new version,
- you must turn off the program in HackMaster and turn off TealLock
- if you are running it.
-
- * " Help. TealGlance locks up. "
- Check to see what other applications are running. There are known
- incompatibilities with CheckIn and GlowHack. You should no longer
- need GlowHack, as TealGlance has options to provide GlowHack functionality.
- We are currently also looking into possible interactions with Snoozehack
- and 'memoplus' alarms.
-
- * " Can TealGlance show Franklin Ascend to-do items? "
- Not currently, as Franklin's data format is not public knowledge.
- We are currently exploring this possibility. The Franklin folks
- have contacted us, but have yet to prepare and send us a data specification
- so we can continue.
-
- * " It crashes when I press the Register button. I am using EVPlugBase.
- This is a bug in the Hackmaster replacement EVPlugBase. We recommend
- using Hackmaster instead until the EVPlugBase is fixed to accurately
- mirror Hackmaster's behavior.
-
- * " TealGlance doesn't work with the Palm V button hack. "
- Use the power-up button disabling features in the Advanced config
- screen of TealGlance 2.80 or greater. These allow you to automatically
- turn off the Palm if it is accidentally turned on by one or more
- specified keys.
-
- Compatibility
-
- As we cannot control the style and robustness of other products, we
- cannot guarantee compatibility with PalmPilot applications beyond
- those included from Palm Computing. However, we try to resolve compatibility
- issues as best we can, working with other developers where possible.
-
- "TealGlance", like all "Hackmaster" applications, hook into the PalmPilot
- operating system in a way which may not be compatible with all other
- programs of this type, as all such programs must share limited system
- resources. If you experience unexpected behavior or crashes, always
- try disabling all other hacks to diagnose whether what you experience
- is the result of a conflict.
-
- * "Palm V Button Hack"
- Use the TealGlance "disable power-on" features under the advanced
- menu instead to access some of the same functions.
-
- * "EVPlugBase"
- The Pilot reportedly crashes upon pressing the 'Register' button
- when using this Hackmaster replacement. We recommend using Hackmaster
- instead until EVPlugBase is upgraded to fix this bug.
-
- * "ReDo"
- ReDo wakes up your Pilot at midnight to reschedule events. The
- new version of TealGlance ignores alarms at midnight to avoid
- coming up at this time. Set ReDo's wake time to midnight to
- best avoid a conflict.
-
- * "Fitaly Keyboard"
- Fitaly Keyboard does some intense hacking of the Operating System
- to do its stuff. Be sure TealGlance appears *above* Check-In
- in the list of hacks in HackMaster. When you decactive (uncheck)
- and reactivate (check) a hack in the list, it's moved to the
- top of the list.
-
- * "GlowHack"
- Known to crash when TealGlance is active.
- Use "TealGlance's" backlight-activation option instead
-
- * "PowerHack"
- Make sure you have an updated version of PowerHack. Version
- 0.95 reportedly fixes a previous conflict with TealGlance.
-
- * "Franklin Ascend"
- No compatibility problems, but we're currently accessing the
- demand and viability of adding an option to list Ascend ToDo
- items instead of the standard PalmPilot ToDo application as
- a service to your customers who use Ascend.
-
- * "Brainforest"
- Compatibility options have been added with TealGlance 3.0. Note
- that clicking on a Brainforest item won't take you directly
- to that item, however, due to differences between the standard
- applications' record-goto mechanism and Brainforest.
-
- * "Check-In"
- Check-In seems to have some compatibility problems with TealGlance.
- When using Check-In, be sure TealGlance appears below Check-In
- in the list of hacks in HackMaster. When you decactive (uncheck)
- and reactivate (check) a hack in the list, it's moved to the
- top of the list. Better yet, use TealLock instead.
-
- * "Datebk3"
- Make sure you have Datebk3 version 3.0 or newer, which greatly
- decreases stack uses for compatibility.
-
- * "Syncwise"
- We believe this hotsync application can corrupt the datebook
- database and do not recommend it for this reason. If you find
- datebook items are not appearing when they should, try selecting
- the "Do full scan of datebook" option under the details menu.
- If this works, download the freely downloadable program dbScan
- to check/fix corrupted datebook records.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
