What really kills the battery is fetching mail into the lockscreen.
I have disabled everything that have to do with mail in IntelliScreen, except för the Taskbar icon, now battery lasts alot better.

Hmmm...it's a pity though I only use this in the evenings or during weekends...it's one of the best things of the app...I will monitor it and see how it looks with my phone
iToday is any better?

Not really - uglier and only allows the three next calendar events.
Very limited settings alternatives.

@theplague: 0.95 has a manual refresh option for mail option. Go to IntelliScreen's mail setting and turn 'Tap to Check Mail' to ON. Then you'll have a micro-button for that on the lock-screen itself. That should save battery.

Btw, this is my skin. It only looks good with a dark background too, because of the overlapping 3 or 4 pixels over the clock background.



Let me know if someone wants it.

Hi deuxani, would you kindly share it?. Thanks.

Please post that black theme!!! It looks way better than all of the windows this program makes...

PM it to me or post it here!! Greatly appreciated!

Mine is turned on, and the battery drains fast. Did not have this problem until the latest version, so something is different.

e.g. red (the lower left corner one)
Hexadecimal: ff,00,00
Decimal: 255,0,0
255/255=1, 0/255=0, 0/255=0

so when you want to switch the color inside your intellskin.xml , the code will be 1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0
(the last 1.0 is transparency)

Cheers for this, that was the key i was missing - more so the last being transpancy / opaque levels! now it makes sense! slight oversight by moi, cheers for the info

Here is the black one. If you want a complete black background, just take a picture with your iPhone's camera with your hand in front of it, set it as wallpaper and then delete it from your camera roll

For those having battery issues: One of the most recent versions of IntelliScreen had a setting in News to control the frequency of updates, and the default was quite often (every 1/2 hour or something like that). After changing that setting to "Every Day", my battery issues were completely resolved.

Maybe that will help some of you too.

Thanks Dave, there are so many options in the incredible app that it's easy to get lost! I would rather have this option in a more suitable location though...

Has anyone else noticed that IntelliScreen changes the functionallity of the volume buttons? I think that it is the reminder for missed calls/sms/email that does it.

Usually, the volume buttons change the ringer volume (you see the text "ringer" above the volume symbol). But when I get a missed call, and the reminder sound goes of, after that, the volume buttons seem to change the system volume instead (no "ringer" above the symbol, and does not affect the ringer).

If I then go into Setings -> Sounds and change the ringer volume there (by dragging the knob), the volume buttons are restored to change the ringer volume.

Thanks for the skin. You should provide this to the developer to inlclude in his next release.
