Hacking Today Screen - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Is there any way of getting the today screen to show more items than by default - like the next n days worth of your schedule.
The only adjustment is in Settings > Today > Calender Options but this isn't really powerful enough.
thanks for any solutions in advance

i'm not sure if you are asking if there is a hack to get more then the 13 today items on the screen or if you want 1 of the items to show more info then it show now
more appointments dont mean extra today items it just mean that 1 today item use more space then default
i would try out the free program Calender+ it got alot more options then the default calander today item

thanks
hey thanks Rudegar!
Calendar+ is great. Just what I needed. Qua-la-tie.

Calendar appointments

Is there any way to get more than the next appointment to show up on the today screen ? I would like to see if possible at least the next 3 or 4 items on my today screen instead of just the 1.
Any way to do it ?
~ Click Start and then choose Settings
~ Click on the Today icon
~ Click on the Items tab
~ Click on Calendar
~ Click on the Options button
~ Then click on Upcoming appointments
That should do the trick, or you can download the Calendar+ plugin which gives you even more possibilities. Search for Calendar+ on this forum or on google.
Had already tried your first suggestion, but it didnt seem to make any difference. However cal+ has given me what I needed.
Many Thanks.
cal+ works great upon initial install and is solid unless activating and deactivating a few feature/options more than a few times... then it becomes a bit buggy on my wizard. so i was wondering if anyone is using something similar?
also, can someone please direct me to the reg-hack to free the date plugin so i can place it in any order on the today screen???

Calendar Issues

I recently switched from XDAII to a TYTN.
Until now, no problems exept the calendar.
If I have like three appointments the next day, the device only shows me a maximum of two on the start screen, where on my XDAII the list was unlimited . Pretty annoying cause I'm used to see all of them when I switch my XDAII on and have an immediate overview.
Is it possible to change a setting so the calendar goes directly to the month lay out? Now I always have to toggle up via day, week, month or go via menu, view...
Also, if there are two appointments on the start screen and I tap on them, the device will always go to the "oldest" appointment.
Any settings I could change?
Thanks
No reply because it's so obviously simple or nobody knows..?
Anyone?
Come on guys, give me a tip here.
I did the normal stuff like going to start>settings>today>Items>calendar but then the "options" button is not available so I can't activate the "show all apointments".
What is a recently good and stable program to add programs/shortcuts on the today screen?
I looked into Claunch but that site is so old...
Pocket Breeze

I gave up on the OS Calendar today screen - no matter what options I selected, it would only display 1 day at a time... so I use PocketBreeze now... it very configurable, looks good, works well and seems compatible to WM6!

Not sure about the calendar issues.
Claunch may be old but it's a good one.
I use Wisbar Advance used in conjunction with Wisbar Advance Desktop. Can also be used for those cool customisations as well. Also permits multiple desktops so you can spread out your icons and plugins over several pages to save clutter. each desktop can be customised differently.

Calender & the Today Screen

Hey. Is there a way to limit the amount of (calendar) appointments displayed on the today screen? Or a way to limit how many days are displayed (i.e. only show appointments for the next 3 days)? I assume that this would be a reg hack, because the normal options don't cover this issue..
Thanks; I appreciate it.

Google 'Calendar +', it does exactly what you've asked for and it's free

Appointments on Homescreen

I am a smartfone newbee, I got my HD today, got most things set up OK, but cannot get my apointments to show on the homescreen.
have gone into Today, appearance is set to HTC Black if I go to Items the only one ticked is TouchFLO 3D I have tried ticking some of the other boxes then OK but othing changs. If you go back into today only the one box is ticked again. the move and option buttons are gryed out.
Anyhelp would be appeciated.
Touchflo3D replaces the today screen, so when it's active you can't have any other option running in the list of today items. If you want to customize the today screen in a more traditional way, start by disabling Touchflo 3D and soft-reset your phone.
hm ... isnt it possible to customize tf3d via mod so i can add appointments to my today-screen?
if its possible, which mod do i need?
There shouldn't be any need to modify the Tf3D screen.
I have several appointments daily showing on the Home Screen.
To see the remainder, all you do is finger swipe Up.

Beards - I'm inpressed by the fact that you can finger-swipe up and see more of your appointments. TouchFlo will only display 2 current appointments and 1 all-day event. How do you get it to display more appointemnts, then?
Your answer will no doubt please loads of HD users who face this same problem.

Absolutely nothing..... I've just sat here generated 1 test appointment for today, 3 test appointments for tomorrow and an all day event tomorrow.
All 5 show up on my Home Screen.
Beards
hm ... i think i made a slight mistake
i actually meant tasks not appointments ....
afaik its not possible with the tf3d home screen ... unfortunately
but about appointments ...
where can i set a all-day event?
and why are only appointments of today being displayed?
of today and tomorrow. to make all day appointment check settings when making a new one
That works for the following day, but won't look beyond. That is the real issue.
I had a plugin on my TYTN2 that would show appointments up to seven days, cant remember what it was called....

Maybe installation of SecondToday and TodayAgenda app is an option for you.Then you can switch between TF3D screen and a traditional todayscreen(SecondToday)with all appointments and tasks(TodayAgenda).
You can customize it for your special needs!

Calendar for Today?

Does anyone know of a simple Calendar plug-in for Today screen which will just show me the Month view? Preferably free... I have used Quick Cal but its not free. Also should be able to accommodated the HTC Today plug-in. Wish that had a calendar view in a tab!
Well I dont know quick cal, but maybe Calendar+ is something for you.

rl-today is another option. basic skins usually have the monthly view. though is much more (and more complex) than a today plug.in
Thanks I downloaded the rlCalendar. Really good since you can customize it so easily. Only if it had a calendar "scroll" option where one could see future months. But will do for the moment.
I have not tested rl calendar but in rl today it is really easy to add several months at a time. to have a button to go forward and backwards showing months you will need some more advanced stuff with rl-today and mortscript.
