I made a simple today plugin that can be used to add transparent space between other today plugins. The height of the plugin can be configured in the today plugin options.

Hi,
There is also the freeware Spacer (at: http://www.pocketmax.net/redial.html) which supports different landscape position and absolute positioning. And it includes 2 different versions allowing having 2 blank areas on screen

Have done a semi-extensive search to find a plug-in which allows you to place application shortcuts on the lower toolbar of the Today screen (not on the Desktop). True Toolbar is a step in the right direction, however, this does only show the running programs. Any other ideas? Thanks.
Dear,
I know a nice program called cLaunch for launching applications directly from shortcuts on Today Screen. there are many versions to it. Here is one of them www.freewareppc.com/utilities/claunch.shtml . Above all, it's freeware
Hope this is what you're looking for
Thanks, Ken_xda, but that's not what I'm looking for. As mentioned in my post, I'd like to have the shortcuts placed in the TOOLBAR on the bottom of the screen (not on the Today Desktop). The same way you can place the Quick Lunch icons in your lower toolbar in MS Windows.

maybe this one it sounds like it's in the buttom but the picture looks a bit odd
I should have mentioned it, sorry. I tried FastAccess. The idea is quite good. It adds a little toolbar to the bottom of the screen which toggles between showing/hiding icons of any programs you choose. But the execution is rather poorly done. It disabled the close/minimize button on certain applications and some design elements such as the size of the check box doesn't integrate that nicely into the existing user interface.
Try TrayLaunch from PHM....Works great and it's free!

Hi,
I remember having seen some weather plugin, where the radar map was quite large on the today screen. Since I have PocketWeather as a tab in PocketBreeze, I have plenty of space for that, but Pocket Weather just let me display a icon, not the map itself.
Is it a configuration thing, or would I need another weather plugin?
Check out the WeatherPanel wiki here http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
There's lots of custom layouts. You'll find something you like.
Using claunch and HTC Home Plugin (with HTC Home Customizer) as my today screen. see attached pic below.
I can't seem to get rid of the solid white line just above my claunch icons.
I've tried every setting in claunch; margins, height etc.
When I unselect claunch on the 'today items' it goes away and if I only have claunch by itself it's there, so it is definately not HTC Home.
Anyone encounter this?
The problem is not with claunch or HTC, it is your theme. You'll need to pick up a windows mobile theme maker (like this one), which will allow you to change the division line between plugins on the today screen. Unfortunately, as far as I know, you cannot remove the line - only colour it the same as your background to hide it.
I never would have got that.
Thanks man
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.

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).
How do everyone? I'm trying to combine two weather programs but have run into a problem. I originally wanted to just add the icons from one to another, but now that I need help I have a more ambitious journey in mind.
---
The programs are: Tonaya WeatherToGo (WTG) which is freeware and the ever famous SPB Keyboard. I'd like to add the icons (skins) from SPB to WTG so the footprint stays small while the look improves immensely.
1. WTG
Pros: free, small footprint, great weather source (noaa.gov), today screen plugin, multiple cities, updating options
Cons: only works for US cities, today screen is only accessible by touching screen, icons are old and stale, product no longer developed so it may not work for VGA and WVGA screens.
2. SPB
Pros: looks great, multiple weather sources, today screen plugin, works internationally, for various screen sizes
Cons: Size, size, size (extra large footprint) and not freeware.
---
So I tried to import the skins from SPB weather into WTG, but I only have the cab file for WTG and couldn't insert them. Honestly, I would be satisfied with this improvement and if someone wants to give me directions I'm willing to take them.
If a developer wants to work on this I'd be happy as pie and would only ask for idea credits and a QVGA version being made automatically.

Yes I'm aware there are a lot of programs but these two are my favorite after years of use and I would love them to be combined.
