IntelliScreen Help

The View Layout screen allows you to edit your IntelliScreen's content.

Customize which content to display:
You can enable and disable specific content items by pressing on the bottom toolbar. IE, if you don't want weather to display, simply press the weather icon until it is dimmed.

TIP: You can reset to the default layout by pressing the reset icon on the bottom right of the layout toolbar.

The # badge on the content icon represents which IntelliScreen page the content will display on. If the icon is dimmed, the content will not be displayed. If the icon shows "New1" or "New2", the content area will only be displayed if new messages are available (see below)

TIP: You can switch between IntelliScreen page 1 and page 2 by double tapping on the time/date area.

Show items only If New
If you only want to show your mail or SMS when there are new messages, you can press the mail or SMS icon until they show "New1" or "New2" (for showing only if new on IntelliScreen 1 or IntelliScreen 2)

Only If New Layout Behind Other Content:
When setting items to only if New, you can place the content box "behind" other items. IE, the default layout is setup so if a new SMS message appears, the Weather box will be replaced with the SMS content box.

Only If New Layout in Date/Time area:
You may also place the Only If New content box in the time/date area. This will cause the content box to be positioned in the first available position. The first available location is searched via the following process:

1) Unused space
2) Largest unlocked content area
-If the content area can fit two content boxes, the original content box is split into 2. Otherwise, replaces content box.
3) If all content area is locked, replaces first content box.
- If the content area can fit two content boxes, the original content box is split into 2. Otherwise, replaces content box.

TIP: You can lock/unlock the position of a content area by double tapping on the content area.

Resizing Content Area (Premium/Trial only)
You can resize content areas by pinching the content area:
1) Pinching in a vertical fashion will shrink the height of the area
2) Pinching in a diagonal fashion will shrink the entire area to proportion.

(Known Issue that the resizing on 2.0 is still buggy)

You can choose from a few different IntelliSkins (Premium/Trial only).

Cell Separator
You may also adjust the cell separator of content areas.

After choosing your skin, you may preview your new skin in the preview view.

You can customize your own IntelliSkin and make it available to others. The skin file is located in /var/mobile/Library/Intelliborn/Skins/intelliSkin.xml. The file is pretty self-explanatory.

You may download a custom IntelliSkin via HTTP.

You can choose which Calendar items to show. Note, you can control whether or not Calendar items show on your IntelliScreen via the View Layout

Note: You can control whether or not Mail will show on your IntelliScreen via the View Layout

Managing Multiple Email Accounts (Premium/Trial Only)
While there is only one mail content window in IntelliScreen, the mail content area can allow you to scroll through multiple email accounts (Premium/Trial only). The most effective way to do so is setting the mail accounts to "Only New Messages".

You can select which mail accounts to show by tapping on the mail account.

Note: You must receive email to the account before you may select the account.

You can reorder your mail accounts by pressing on the right hand side of the account and sliding the account up or down.

Tap to Check Mail
For non-push email accounts, you can enable Tap to Check Mail. Tap to Check Mail will display a refresh icon on your IntelliScreen to request a mail fetch. This is the same functionality as going into the Mail.app and pressing the refresh button.

If you enable tap to check - your Mail content area will show even if you have it set to New1 or New2 in the View Layout screen. While the mail content area will be displayed to allow you to "Tap to Check", it may not show any messages depending on your Mail display preferences (ie, Only New Messages and the Mail content area is set to "New1").

Tap To Check will only enable if you have your mail fetch time set to an interval other then manual (Under Settings --> Fetch New Data -> Fetch).

On Lock Screen: Jumping to Next Account
You can jump to the next account in the Mail content area by double-tapping the mail account.

You can choose which SMS items to show.

Note: You can control whether or not SMS items show on your IntelliScreen via the View Layout

Note: You can control whether or not Weather will show on your IntelliScreen via the View Layout

Multiple Weather Locations are supported for Premium Users.

Entering Weather Location
You may type in a Zip Code, or City,State, or City,Country. If the weather does not match your location's weather, try visiting http://weatherunderground.com and looking up your city's name on their website.

International Locations
You can try typing in your city,country. If the weather is not properly displayed on your IntelliScreen, try visiting http://weatherunderground.com and looking up your city's 4 character code in the source drop down box on their website. You can then use that 4 character code and assign your own label.

Special Character Note: WeatherUnderground does not appear to support special characters such as ö,ä, ü. ß. One example is Göttingen, Germany. You will need to type Goettingen (or Goettingen, Germany) for your weather to appear)

IntelliAlert View
The IntelliAlert View replaces the Apple blue alert window on your lock screen. This provides a better integration with IntelliScreen as the window does not appear above the IntelliScreen, but rather below.

Taskbar Icons (Premium Only)
Taskbar Icons allow you to see if you have a missed call (or voicemail), new SMS message, or new email message at a quick glance whether you're in another Application, listening to music, or on the lock screen.

You can enable alert reminders for unread SMS, unread Email, missed calls/voicemail, and repeating calendar event alarms.

Quiet Time
If you don't want the reminders to occur (ie, at night), you can enable Alert Quiet Time

Alert Types
You can set alerting types including vibrate, sound, and flash.

You can choose the Alert Sound which includes the system ringtones and your custom ringtones.

Alert Sound Note: The sound alert respects the silent/vibrate mode of the phone. If vibrate mode is enabled, the alert will not sound.

Alert Flash Note: The flash only occurs when the screen is locked as to not interrupt your phone usage.

SMS Privacy (Premium/Trial only)
