Instead of installing yet another program, you could also go to your device settings - buttons - and map one of your buttons to the "Start Menu" command.
The (while still in device settings, go to "Menu" and designate those specific applications you just mentioned to appear on your start menu (I think you can specify max 7).
That would allow you finger access to those apps without adding another prog and also remember that the more stuff you add to today screen it eats up your battery.
cLaunch is much nicer looking than you think
The program is very customizable
Craig, this is my setup using claunch and a number of my hacks.

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut to Settings?
I've just recently bought and installed ProgramMenuPlus to cascade my Start Menu but only thing is that it doesn't handle the Settings menu so I need a shortcut to be placed on the Programs Menu.
Can someone help?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp
I have all of my control panel plus some extras as a cascading menu in SmallMenu, with icons. If you want, I can zip them up and send them over.

thanks Vijay, you're a legend on this boards. I managed to work out that with ProgramMenuPlus, you can add an extra icon on top of the normal Start Menu (just like in Seymour) and have dual Start Menus (the MenuPlus & the original Menu).
By the way, am looking thru the list of apps you wrote...I like the VJLumos, it adds that extra brightness at night for reading and makes a good flashlight
Keep up the good work champ!!
I actually use SmallMenu and ProgramMenu.
This is my SmallMenu replacing the start menu. I never use the start menu anymore (and obviously this is without using ToggleToday, for clarity):

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I use a much smaller ProgramMenu menu assigned to my contacts key, to just load up PIM stuff etc very quickly, eg calendar, contacts blah blah. That way it's even faster then navigating SmallMenu's submenus... I launch it with my thumb, navigate up/down with dpad and enter. Very quick..I really like SmallMenu.
Thanks for your comments
VJLumos is very much for those who like to live on the edge, but the effect is certainly worth seeing. i wonder why they didn't implement the brighter screen to begin with! I've been doing some slow work to find a better way to implement it, but I'm waiting on some slightly better tools before I can finish it...

Hi all, I'm finding a plugin to make direct calls from today screen like Palm Treo 700w look here http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo700w/today.epl
bye
alberto
did you find it? sounds great!
it would be nice if somebody who ows theo 700w get the necessery files for rest of us :twisted:
Treo700w users come on!
I guess not many Treo700 users will be reading this forum.
However, if you find this Today plug-in, let us know: I'd love to try it.
yes! it sounds like a great idea.. even for people developing soft for pocket PC devices..
I've been googleling for this kind of plugin as a part of a software to buy/download, but nothing similar..

Though if you start using the 0 - 9 buttons you can dial the number that way from the Today screen, if that's any help.
Though also, with that AND the Contacts software/hardware key, I don't honestly see what the point of such an app is?!?

Maybe for those few who uses the phone in portait mode..
But again, that would require them to open a SIP.
Would be easier to just press green button and dial..
I dunno..
And also, contactbreeze, from SBSH, properly configured, is very simmilar and more simply for searchs.
Have Fun
but noone have buyed Treo700w? possible?
That'd be ace if there were a version for the Exec.
SPB Diary has a contacts plugin that does almost that. You'll get a contact list wich you can dial from.
Guys
How can I create speed-dial shortcuts on the Today screen to start a phone call directly from the today screen? Is there some good freeware that lets you do it?
I can do it using a menu .. but how do I do it as a shortcut?
- JoKer
I don't know if there's any software for this purpose, but if you don't find it you can easily implement it using an application launcher + mortscript.
iLauncher does that .. but right now .. I am trying to spend my money wisely ..

Vijay .. Thanks a lot, totally forgot about your apps. Now a really stupid question. How exactly do I run these apps and provide command line options on my TyTN?
Whatever's your poison. Use gsfinder/resco to make shortcuts generally.
I use claunch to launch speed dials from the today screen... but you can assign to hardware keys or other launchers etc.
One combination I'm testing right now is to use a hack I've written to assign an app to the video key, and use that to launch "Launcher" from the Samsung rom. Using Launcher I can assign a menu full of my calls, so I can switch tasks and make calls from one thumb + wheel.

Hey,
Ive written a Listcontrol with Scroll support. It supports scrolling, activating
and dragging ( wait short when touch the Display, then you can drag ).
This Zip contains two files, grid view and list view.
It would be nice if you can test it, and give me a feedback. For testing it is also a little ApplicationLauncher, which should work for english ROMs.
It requires .net compact 2.0
greets doena
The control itself seems to work fine on my T-Mobile Wing, although the font in the grid is way too small and the grid's scrolling seems smoother than the list's. The list is kind of slow.
Also when clicking on the task (outlook) application in the start menu (both list and grid), it crashes:
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfor startInfo). It's part of my recent programs list, so I don't know if that could be the reason?
Do you plan to release the control?
Working ok on my prophet grid icons and text to small list just plain white grid runs better and managed to start screen shot

Hey,
thanks for your answers, its nice to show you're interested.
I have just changed the ListView, so it scroll like the Grid one, and shows Icons.
With the icons and App Launch Exception I have to look, what could be done, but I will find a reason ;-)
Sorry for second Post,
I have now changed the Font size in Grid view,
you ll find it in Atachment

PS: please dont use the minimize button, it doesnt work well
I'm just thinking about all the apps I currently use on my Kaiser and how they'll work on the HD2 and i've got a quick question!
Assuming i leave all the HTC stuff as it is - how will I access apps that I currently access through the quicklaunch bar?
Examples of these apps are:
Magicall (used to screen/block calls)
PhoneWeaver (for customised profiles)
Pocketcontroller (remote desktop)
Also - does anyone know if SBSH's "Calendar Touch" integrates well?
Grateful for any feedback
(here's my current homescreen to show what i mean by the quicklaunch bar - in case i'm naming it wrong!)

You've got the choice of TouchFLO, Titanium (Windows Default, as it's called), or the old skool Today screen, as you've pictured.
I'd recommend playing with the first 2 before deciding how to set the phone up, as they offer a great deal of choice, especially with the excellent modding community on here.
There's a bunch of "buttons" on the home page of TouchFLO that allow you quick access to apps, contacts, or bookmarks, and you can arrange that as you like, so I assume that will give you the same thing that you currently have.
Hope this helps
Thanks
I know about the application shortcuts - but i'm not sure they'd offer the same functionality. For instance, when i tap on the PhoneWeaver button, it brings up a list of what profiles i can switch to etc, if i make a shortcut, i think it'll just load the program.
BTW remote desktop can be troublesome without stylus. I suggest you try it somehow before you buy it.

Oh right, I mean the other way round (remoting onto the phone from the PC)
