Hey Vito Technology and Olya


First off I have to say thank you to you guys for creating such an amazing Windows Mobile application/Mobile shell. You guys are really raising the bar for all the other developers out there on this platform and for other cell phone OEM manufactures.


Anyhow, I have been using Winterface heavily. I Really like it. Here is my list of suggestions and general thoughts. No way is this ment to disrespect or discredit your work. I just love it and cant help but suggest the following.


1. Please add a today plug-in ASAP.

• I dislike gesturing to always bring Winterface back up. Or using the standby button to bring it back.
• I see no reason why this can not be added? comment on this suggestion?

2. Please fix the battery icon.

• it links to nothing.
• Perhaps it is just the upside down V gesture beta I downloaded off your guy's blog, but it wont open battery settings right now.

3.Task manager built into winterface

• I know this is an easy improvement. Please can you SHOW the memory % in use and update as you closethings.
  
• maybe even the CPU %? This would be so great. also show as you close things the updated %
  

4.Winterface needs a weather app built into it

• ASAP. what needs to be added is something similar to task manager built into Winterface.
  
• A pop up window with the weather integrated into it. This is doable i know you guys can do it.

5.The slide to unlock

• sometimes it lags before you can slide and unlock the phone.
• Perhaps add a password option so that once you slide to unlock you have to tap a numeric password? That would be nice.

6.The "Profile" sound menu

• add an "advanced link that takes you to the sounds and notification settings link. THIS WOULD BE VERY EASY addon so worth it.

Those are my main issues I have with Winterface that need to be addressed in the coming versions asap.

Their is one other gripe a lot of people have and comment on. We should be able to add custom image on background?. Perhaps allow people to develop custom icons or select icon files. Some people whine about IE's grayed out icon and want the colour one for instance. I dont care about this at this point at the produts development


What would be nice is the background image, but it might mess up the slide to unlock at present you can see all the emails/missed calls/sms's ETC even though its darkened. Pictures might ruin that. So you would maybe have to re work the slide to unlock to show notifcations differently. Keep this in mind before adding images. Rather wait then have this issue.


Perhapes if main menu has custom background. Slide to unlock can have a new notification showing missed/new things AND HAVE ITS OWN BACKGROUND?


The V gesture right now does not always worked.... but like i said today plugin is the way to go.



Anyhow, if you ever need someone to beta test or provide thought out feedback on things i am your man, just pm me here or check your email

Thanks a lot for your great feedback, I've put your ideas in the wish list. We'll probably manage to realise some of your ideas.

A new version has just come out:

New features:
1. New start up gesture. Instead of "rainbow" upside down tick "^"
2. New gesture to close any current application "v".
3. The ability to add separate files on the screen.
4. New applets: Calendar and Tasks show the number of upcoming events and tasks
5. The ability to disable lock screen feature.

Fixed bugs:
1. There is no ability to delete Menu and Running.
2. Bugs with battery and bluetooth were also fixed.
