Look for those launcher plugins for your Today screen. There are a few around, but I'm not sure which one is the better one. Look for the thread on the Today (eg member showing off their Today screen setup) screen and look for the screen with the thing that you fancy. The thread (post) should tell you what plugin they are using.
Vista mobile is just a theme. It is a Vista-wanna-be-look-alike for WM5. It uses various ways of changing WM5 to look like Vista. Similiar to Apple-wanna-be-look-alike WM5.

Try www.clubspb.com/forum/
Look under the Pocket Plus Forum. It's slowly coming out. The icons are a mess to make. I gave up and left it to other people to do.

the home plugin is downloadable through the plugin, and as the title says it is fully customizable. You'll probably find that font/style here.
Below are icons that can be used pocket plus 4
Hope this helps

I posted the link above http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308 - where the HTC Home Customizer can be located. The HTC Home Customizer must be installed onto your device first. once installed, you will have the option of changing your HTC Home screen's theme/appearance, icons, clocks, even weather icons, but you must install first. Only through the HTC home customizer, you will be able to download that appearance.

i imported the iphone icons into the spb pocket plus icon folder but i cant use the icons..what am i doing wrong?
Those iphone icons were made for Pocket Plus 3. The PP4 format is a .dat file with separate files for the icons and masks. It won't work.
Also, the Vista icons posted here are not for VGA devices.

In relation to the Iphone icons, this conversion might work for those interested
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329157&page=4&highlight=iphone+icons
For the vista icons, I was under the impression that the device used was qvga because VGA wasn't mentioned. .
I'm not sure where those are located, I guess the search goes on then.
Hope this helps
if your still looking for pocket plus 4 icons we're making ALOT of new sets over at spbclub.com check out the forum...
you wont be disappointed =)
Hey guys,
I love the functionality of HTC Home. However, I wished that the clock part of HTC Home is slimmed down so that there is more space for the today screen?
Is there any fix or alternative software that can please this soul?
Thanks

wisbar advance desktop...
its great, basically its a launcher that replaces today, but you can embed today plugins in it, so you could make the clock with a small font, then icons for the home tabs underneath, which correspond to programs, or docks, which arer small boxes that appear which have more shortcuts in them..
just a suggestion

Does it have a section for fast contacts ? I've seen phoneAlarm, has most of the stuff except the contacts part. That's what I love because when I'm in the car its easier to make a call.
hotplainrice,
I must admit I don't use the home plugin as I find it rather crude in its look and function. I use a combination of SPB Pocketplus, SPB Mobile Shell, and their telephony plugin (can't remember what its called but checkout their website). I must admit my device is highly customised; however I like it just the way it is.
Have tried to use Wisbar but found it a pain to get the look and functionality that I have been looking for. However I have seen a lot of good stuff on the Wisbar forum so please keep an open mind.
Cheers
WB
yer erm you can make docks with contact pictures, so ive got mine set up to look like an iphone, ive got the phone button which goes to phone, or opens the dock with favourite contacts, then ive got sms, lock/internet, media player and finally my programs dock. And in my programs dock, i have a link to another page on WAD [it can have many pages] which has all my windows today plugins.. so has speed of the iphone and the functionality of windows.. so to answer your question, it does have easily accessible contacts, but you have to customise it yourself..

I once used HTC Home Plugin, but troubled with the weather panel, so I uninstall it, and imo, the closest app to HTC Home plugin is SPC Mobile SHell 1.5 + SPB Phone Suite. Closest to intersface, yet more powerful ability...
just like those two guys, i use spb programs... when i said i had today plugins on a seperate page, i meant i have spb pocket plus 4, with diary and weather integrated into it..
spb programs are great
and wisbar is a pain, but once its done, it works perfectly

There is of course the other HTC app "HTC Plus!" Clock, shortcuts and links to message folders without taking up the entire screen. Doesn't have the weather functionailty or music player control tho
rltoday has a skin that is like HTC Home but is slimmer. Might want to give it a look.
Check out HTC Plus! SHould be on the forums somewhere
Thinking of going down the wisbar way. HTC Plus is too simple, no contacts tab. Thanks guys for the replies.
i can send you my theme if you like.. i paid for it, but dont mind sending it.. just so yoou can get a go before you commit to buy it... but you'd still need to get the wisbar codes (10usd each).

Hey, that was cool, I'd like to have HTC Home Plugins Theme for WisBar Desktop... would you like to share for me too? tq =)
My last WisBar Desktop Theme was modified iPhone theme, create 3 virtual pages; Welcome screen, App shortcut, and Agenda (put pocket breeze plugins there)
thx!
deleted, double post...
check out my phonealarm skin I made long time ago http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=5136.0
Use phonealarm. Its alot better, less buggy and more options.
Hi, I wonder how many TF3D alternatives there are. I've been playing with Bell UI (nice but not so useful...), Point UI (too bad latest versions aren't compatible with VGA devices, looks very promising!), SPB Mobile (probably the best one, simple, effective, with a Black Today page Classic which suits the Diamond just perfect and has a lovely big analog clock, big weather indications, big net signal strenght & battery icons, missed calls, mails and sms, and all in one page! ) and WisBar Advance Desktop (which also is nice but just slightly better than Bell UI).
Here, I'm asking you if I'm missing something, or what do you think about the mentioned above UI. Did anybody drop the TF3D for another UI?
SPB pocket plus is great as an enhancement for the standard Windows Mobile Today screen.
You can create up to 6 tabs, each holding a combination of Today plugins, shortcuts and photo-contacts. When the tabs are set to auto-hide, you effectively have an extra page that appears when you minimize a window or press the Home key.
I have mine configured so that my homepage shows just a task manager and controls for Pocket Player. See my signature for screenshots...
Is it possible get that more those standard today screen as panel?
Cos I would like to have FEWidgets & iFronz etc. as panels and still have that normal today screen.
Any ideas?
That is a nice idea...!
2 today screens
The closest iv seen to solving this is to use a program called mtoday, see thread - Best Apps for the x1.
You can create 2 today screens with different plugins, run program, set profile 1 and save, then create shortcut, do the same for profile 2. In the programs menu you then find links to launch your 2 today screens. I have pocket plus 4 and touch 3d. Why use panel spaces switching this way is easier and faster.
Posted from my X1
Hi,
I think axjiii is searching a programme or a option to create a panel for a specific programme, for expamle a panel which launches iFonz or other programmes. I was also looking for such an programme with which I could create several panels for i.e. skype, TV, iFonz, etc.
BTW, is iFonz working on the X1? As I'm still waiting for my X1 I couldn't test it yet.
Well, maybe the TF3D panel launcher could be tweaked to launch FEWidgets and iFonz.
No iFonz panel as at yet, right?

Maybe you should try downloading the SDK panel editing package from Sony and dissect the "TF3D as a panel" cab: it just "runs" TF3D
There's also a "youtube" panel but it makes the same simple thing: when pressed, it runs the youtube app and turns "today" screen to blank
You could try to build a panel that runs your desired app
I'd also love such a feature. I have got the panels installed already (not using them though) and to me they very much seem to be something like multiple today screens. It would be nice to just keep the existing panels and the normal today screen and to be able to define another panel (or many more) for which you can define a different today screen with different plugins etc.
What would be very important from my perspective is the impact on resources, both memory and CPU. It would be good not having all today plugins running at all time, even when they are not visible, because many today plugins affect performance a lot from what I experienced. Also the time when switching the home screen via the panels shouldn't take too long, so, initializing the today plugins completely whenever switching today screens/panels would take too long in my point of view. Still, today plugins which run in the background need to get specific messages, e.g. GPRS monitor for still counting the data.
What I would love to have with such a solution would be to be able to switch panels/today screens by switching profiles, i.e. switching panels via commandline.

Looks quite simple for everyone who has Microsoft Visual Studio.
Unfortunately I don’t have MSVS, but I someone create a panel that simply call some app stored in registry (or panel1 for app1, panel2 for app2 and so on), it will be great! In combination with mToday or SecondToday it will allow for anyone to have multiple Today Screens.
I’m personally prefer to have on main Today Screen SPB Dairy and SPB Phone Suite (organiser) while on second Today a lot of shortcuts to useful apps and tools (pocket pc).
