Small configurable Today Plugin for date & time for Windows Mobile 5.0

This is a really old project that I made back in 2006 for Windows Mobile 5.0, that I now want to make open-source!

Back then, it was really a huge success, having more than 80.000 downloads from multiple sites!

Here's the original text...

For those unaware, on the latest ROM's, i-mate removed the clock from the Today Screen's title bar and put it together with the date plugin, doubling its size ... Now that's a real waste of space on the Today!

So I decided to create a small plugin that shows the date, internet time (Swatch Internet Time) and the current time! Tapping the plugin panel shows the Date/Time, as it currently does in the native Date plugin.

You can configure the plugin by going to Start -> Settings -> Personal and then Today -> Items, pick TodayTime, tap the Options button e use the table below.

Use the following for the Date:

• d -> Day of month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit days (1, 2, 3, ...)
• dd -> Day of month as digits with leading zero for single-digit days (01, 02, 03, ...)
• ddd -> Day of week as a three-letter abbreviation (Sun, Mon, Tue, ...)
• dddd -> Day of week as its full name (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, ...)
• M -> Month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit months (1, 2, 3)
• MM -> Month as digits with leading zero for single-digit months (01, 02, 03, ...)
• MMM -> Month as a three-letter abbreviation (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...)
• MMMM -> Month as its full name (January, February, March, ...)
• y -> Year as last two digits, but with no leading zero for years less than 10 (99, 0, 1, ...)
• yy -> Year as last two digits, but with leading zero for years less than 10 (99, 00, 01, ...)
• yyyy -> Year represented by full four or five digits, depending on the calendar used (1999, 2000, 2001, ...)
• gg -> Period/era string

Use the following for the Time:

• h -> Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours; 12-hour clock (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, ...)
• hh -> Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours; 12-hour clock (08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 01, 02, ...)
• H -> Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours; 24-hour clock (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ...)
• HH -> Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours; 24-hour clock (08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ...)
• m -> Minutes with no leading zero for single-digit minutes (1, 2, 3, ...)
• mm -> Minutes with leading zero for single-digit minutes (01, 02, 03, ...)
• s -> Seconds with no leading zero for single-digit seconds (1, 2, 3, ...)
• ss -> Seconds with leading zero for single-digit seconds (01, 02, 03, ...)
• t -> One character time-marker string, such as A or P
• tt -> Multicharacter time-marker string, such as AM or PM
• @ -> Swatch Internet Time / swatch beats (@100)

You can also use the text you want, just delit it with the ' (quote). For example for a date like "Today: Sunday, March 5, 2006" you could use the format "'Today:' dddd, MMMM d, yyyy".
