date format in WM5

Hi all. I suppose this may be a WM5 regional setting issue but I searched all over with no luck. I want to change the format of the Date item in the Today screen. Currently it displays the date with a line feed (wrap) between the day name and the date, and it has the current time right-aligned on the same line. I don't want the time shown here - it's already on the top bar. I only want the date (and possibly a slight larger font size) here with no wrapping. Is there a hack for this, or do I need to get a additional Today plugin for this?

this is the thread for a TodayTimeCab plug-in that can replace the default date/time display, where you can opt not to show the time (can also select the font size).

thanks raymonds!

no problem.

Day and Date on the Today Screen

I have the 8525 and I updated to the new ROM a few days ago. My day and date take up 2 lines across the top now on the today screen whereas it use to take only line across the top. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to have it go back to one line?

Same Day and Date display problem
I noticed that too and was wondering the same if anybody else had this problem. At first I thought it might be a compatibilty issue with SPB Pocket Plus. Afterwards I did a hard reset with the default settings and the same double line display of Date and Time appears. It's become pretty frustrating and had to remove the Date and Time all together from the Today Screen. May be someone has a reg edit for this.
Is it possible to downgrade back to the original ROM? My 8525 has locked up a couple times since the upgrade, something that never happened to me before. Thanks

Interesting comments on the ROM. I too have lockup issues now more than ever. And yes, I understand that you can go back to the OLD rom. I may do that at some point. Not sure the "upgrade" changes are worth the pain I am experiencing with the lockups...looks like I just got locked up trying to synch.
And to your original question...I have two lines too. I guess I like that cause I used the large FONT and this caused the day/date to scroll off of the right hand side.

i also want to move/change/edit my date item on today screen!

Bumping this to see if anyone else has found a solution for this.

Try this cab I made http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,fileinfo/id,58/
It puts the Date and Time in the top by the speaker and GPRS icon, then go to Today options and do not use the Date on the main screen area.

try rlToday (search this forum). Ask those skinning guys there to get you a 1 line simple skin. It is easy to make.

Thanks I ended up using the cab that puts the date above the time.

iDiamond help..

When ever i try to add a icon like messaging or something like the youtube or windows live player to the idiamond screen it just freezes up on me and i have reset my phone. Can any body tell me whats wrong??

wow 28 views and no one can help.........

this is what dman666 wrote on his tread of this idiamond
--->> I freezes during adding a shortcut occasionally - dunno what causes it yet. Just reboot and go on
shaady wrote---> Oh, and if anyone is having problems adding more than 16 items, i tried just dragging the 15th across to the next screen, then it let me add a 16th on the second screen, and i just moved them both back to the first screen and it seems to be working fine. Its letting me add icons without problems now. Hope that made sense

Confirmation of calendar events/reminders

Hi folks,
searched around this forum (and others) unsuccessfully for hours now, maybe someone knows what i'm looking for.
I don't like the procedure of confirming appointments or tasks provided by WM6 in combination with tf3d.
If you can't confirm the alarm instantly it disappears after a while and the softkey is overruled by tf3d.
As you all know you have to press the top bar and after that the bell in the upcoming screen to bring the reminder in front and if you want to be reminded later you need two more fingertips.
What i am looking for (or what i'm dreaming about) is a fingerfriendly dialog (maybe in a transparent curtain style corresponding to tf3d or so) popping up and staying in front of the screen until it is confirmed, containig the information about the task or appointment, maybe the current time, buttons for confirmation or repeating after a while.
By the way a big thank you to all the developers and contributors, this forum is No.1 and helped me a lot for years now.
Thanks in advance

Me too!
Yeah, I'll second that! Bloody annoying when the pop-up disappears before you get a chance to interact with it. If anyone has a solution to this, I'm all ears

Pop up stays put when using S2U2

Cheers...

Thanks my friend... been using another screen lock app, S2U2 is alot better I have to say - and FREE!

Hmmm....., S2U2,
i followed the developing from on the beginning and used it on my old prophet (at this point a lot of thanks to A_C for this excellent piece of work) but found that the handling of appointments when popping up wasn't as good as the rest of the app.
The appointment comes up (as the native windows dialog, which is, let me say, not very beautyful, also the top bar comes up, cutting of the S2U2 clock) and stays on the S2U2 screen but if you don't recognize it and the device goes into stand-by and you switch it on later the pop-up is gone (at least on the prophet), which is no problem on a classic today screen, but on a tf3d screen the softeys are overruled and you have the "problem" described in my first post.
And as a locking solution you have some other opportunities today, SlideToAnswer and TouchlockPro are fitting my needs better on the diamond.
Also in times of eyecandy i think this dialog is a missing link in the chain of beautyness.
So i'm still in hope that someone has a recommendation, but maybe it's not a problem for the most.

calendar / sms lines

hi folks,
first of all excuse - if there is a thread about this already - i found nothing really related.
the 1st question is: how i can make it on the home-screen of tf3d to have more calendar lines - 10 or more and scrollable would be perfect.
the 2nd question is: on the sms-tab there are showing the messages in that way: only one per side - even if they are very short. is there a way to compact it to have more sms on one side and only scroll if nexessary.
thanks for your help.
best regards, twk1

no ideas ???
