I tried to modify HTC Home, because it is IMHO to big. I only need the Home Tab so i wondered if it might be possible that the tab selection is not being displayed to save some Space (in the pic is shown what i want to be displayed).
The greatest thing at all would be if only the Files needed for the Home Tab would be installed. But that is not necessary at all, because i would be able to figure that out by myselfe and create that cab file.

Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.
I'm looking forward for your help
Greets so far.
rltoday has a skin that will do what you want. Free program that works very well.
rltoday still have bugs, It can not work properly in my hima I have given feedback to the creator
It would be much nicer if the area you want to disappear could appear and disappear by selecting the tabs. That means when you click onces on the Home tab the clock display appears when you click it again it will disappear. And that way for all Tabs of HTC Home, that would be a great development for the HTC HOME.
Why not use HTC Home Custom 1.0 beta5? (HHC 1.0 beta5?)

Why? Cause what he wants to do is not possible with Home Customizer.
AFAIK it is not possible at all yet.
I would really like it if it was possible. Ideally with the custom if there's only 1 tab used the tab bar should disappear... It would be perfect
If rlToday doesn't bug for you, you really should give it a try.
I've been using it in place of HTC Home for weeks now, and never looked back.
It looks better, smaller, more customizable... simply awesome
Should check out the skins made by a person known as FOXCAT:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=762#p762
Thnx for your help so far.
RLtody seems to be a nice tool with great capabilities. Unfortunatly the HTC Theme doesnt work for me. It gives me odd graphics, but i havnt had the time yet to change the skin.xml for my needs.
But I'm shure i'll get what i want from this app. Indeed i'll get more i've ever hoped when starting the thread (A today plugin, exacly like i want it and fully customizable).
@PAPPL
It isn't possible to do what i want with any customize tool for HTC Home, because all that they are capable of is changing the reg keys in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Home and replace the Images. For both i dont need any tool at all. But there isnt any reg key (at least i found none) that is responsible for the task i want. Nor did i find the place of the prog, where the graphics are defined. I think the only way to find that out is to get a hand onto the sourcecode. But i dont know anything at all of reverse compilation.
Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.

Not too sure what you are looking for here, but you might give HTCPlus! a try. I find it a bit smaller and does what I am looking for.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something back with the community, so here's a new "skin" for JPLDialer_VistaII by JPL4.
I've created images to overwrite the default images in the JPLDialer_VistaII installation to get a working version of my mock-up below. I'm doing it this way since I don't know of another way to do it, but I'm all ears if there is a better way?
NOW COMPLETE: See below for link to files.
Best Regards,
d38

i like it.... very very nice and clean looking
Really like the JPLDialer_VistaII on PaulyA.com, but I wasn't thrilled about the grass image as it didn't fit right with the PocketCM contacts list I like so much, so, I designed a graphic "skin" to overwrite all of the graphics installed with JPLDialer_VistaII. Pauly A did all the work on the dialer, this is just cosmetic. All of the graphics are included.
1.) First install the "JPLDialer_VistaII by JPL4": http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
2.) Send the zip file below to your phone and unzip all of the images into your Windows directory (overwriting the files already there, I've named then the same). (Alternate to browse to the Windows directory on your phone when connected to your pc and overwrite the images that way instead).
3.) Do a soft reset. Ready to roll!
I hope you like it.

that is really nice, great work man, i use http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm this website every now and then to get skins from plus they are all free.....
I hope Paulya doesn't mind but I put the bitmaps together into a new JPLDialer cab to make the install easier. The dialer and the bitmaps are excellent.
EDIT: Couldn't attach so I linked it.
JPL Touch Dialer
nice i like that a lot more than the grass, thanks.
redial issue
if i open up the dial pad, and a number is at the top, if i hit the talk button or the hard button to dial from the phone, the phone will not dial the number. I am forced to hit call history then press dial from that menu. Any idea how to fix this issue. I am using a Mogul. Any help would be great
The redial and 911 functions do not work with this dialer. Can someone double check this? I am using a Sprint Mogul.
As in I can't dial 911??? Some one really should look into that.
P.S. Love the look of this dialer. But I suppose 911 should be an option!
Yeah, when you dial 911, the dialer freezes...which is kind of a really bad thing!!
Been a while since I've been able to check back here.
No 9-11 dialing? What? I just tried it on my 8525 (Windows Mobile 5) and it went right through. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you? I know this dialer doesn't use the smart dialer, but I didn't like that in the first place, I doubt that would be the issue for you?
R0N1N, VERY cool, thanks for doing that! I would like to know how that works... Any chance you could share a quick how to? Or a link for more info? Thanks regardless!
I'm going to make a new variation on this one, more of a black based theme, less blue this time. After using this for a while, I've noticed that I would rather see more variation in the button on / off states, especially outside on a sunny day. I'll post it here when it's complete!
Thanks for the feedback! As far as I'm concerned, all props go to PaulyA, but I do appreciate it!
love this skin TY!
I like parts of the HTC Home Screen but there are portions of SPB Mobile Shell that I like better.
I would like to combine the two like the following screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have gotten so I can put the SPB Mobile Shell plugin at the bottom (see screenshot below) but I can't figure out if it is possible to remove part of the HTC Homescreen Plugin.
Does anyone know if this is possible OR if their are plugins that will mimic the Clock and the Notification bar? If it will take a lot of work I wouldn't mind donating hosting or funds.
mot possilbe. at present there's no way to change the size of text or the items that are part of it, that's hardcoded into the dlls. Only thing that cn change is the fonts and icons
Now, you could taken it down to one tab by using either HTC Home Customizer or the newer versions of it add a nother tab in settings > today control panel. So you can take it down to the HOME tab only, that will leave you with what you want (but the House icon is still there, that's the best I can do...)
Don't know where to tell you to look but its here somewhere can't remember where I got it. I use HTC Plus instead of the Home Plug here it is with MobileShell
well then is it possible to create a custom today plugin like HTC Home?
you may want to check out rlToday, there are some really great skins for it. there are even some HTCHome inspired ones; just check out the rlToday forums.

Use rlToday, it uses xml so u can customize it urself ... like i did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=61600&d=1197558837
or maybe u just want this one (taken frm rlToday skin forum)

Hello everybody !
After numerous attempts to customize my HTC trinity for a thumb-based experience, I finally got onto some applications that really do the job :
- Tene's PocketCM for the contacts
- ArticCat's OTO for the calendar (works well so far, however I hope to see more of it soon)
- Paulya's Vista II dialer replacement
- A_C's S2U for the lock and S2V for the pics viewer
- HTC's PhonePad for the SIP and Mediaplayer for the music player
- SPB's Mobile Shell for the navigation and the menus.
What I'm missing is a launcher that would work as a today plugin, and that would support large icons in PNG format (thus, with alpha transparency). By "big" I mean "larger than the default 32x32 pixels that all launchers support" - 48 or 60 pixels beeing the size I'm after (something large enough for my fat thumbs ). I don't need tab support, since there are only a small number of apps I want to access from the today screen (typically 8-12).
Do you know if anything that'd meet my needs exists for WM5? Even for a small/reasonable fee (means, around 10-15$) ?
Thanks a million in advance !
I think i used claunch to put a really big shortcut (64x64px) on my todayscreen
Greetings, Vi
ThrottleLauncher
Search for the ThrottleLauncher thread here. No Today plugin yet but all indications are that it will be coming. Great launcher, you can size the rows the pictures are in to any size you wish. I am using 56picsels by 56picsels.
pocketage - no size limit
I tried to install PocketAge from the latest CAB I could find on this board, but something must have gone bad... My Trinity is now stuck as reboot
Everytime I soft-reset it, it got stuck then block at the following step :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course, none of the hard or soft buttons work and I can't dismiss this reminder. I tried to remove the corresponding event from outlook but I couldn't manage to sync the device. I noticed I can access the device filesystem. One strange thing, though, makes me thing that the system is not completely frozen : the clock on the reminder changes and shows the correct time.
Any idea how to recover my phone without having to hard-reset it ? Thanks !!!

yeah, claunch is a good one. it's a today plugin and you can use custom icons. not sure if they are png though never tried it. it has way more options than you need but you can configure it how you want....

Hi All,
I would be missing it completely, but can we add custom Today Screen items in WM 6.5? Something like what Titanium does? I dont want to use Titanium, but just add extra items to Today screen.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Chaks

i think you are talking about something like HS++ or rltoday.... installing those things should work fine just make sure you tick the appropriate box in today item...
Hi,
I want to create a new Today Screen item in the Windows Default Today screen like the Favorite People Plugin, but I dont want to use Titanium Plugin.
Is that possible?
Hi man,
have you finally find a solution, because i want to do the same but there is no Hello world app for that...
depending upon what version of manila you have, you could use TFDetacher (works with 2.1 but not 2.5). I use it to create a second today screen for my plugins, and have it set to a softkey to toggle between manila and the other today screen. I also use Second Today to have a third today screen that I have Weatherpanel as the only plugin; I use a hard key to toggle to it. Hope that helps.
I too am looking for a similar solution. I tried Titanium mod and I don't like it I gave it two tries and both times resulted in a hard reset. The program itself is fine and feature rich it just isn't mature enough for liking and I kept hitting too many bugs which for me made it unusable.
It ok I found one a little basic but works for my needs. I found it in the MS App store called "Home Screen Customizer" One thing I found straight away was the weather panel works for me first time. The titanium one always used to come back with either .net 3.5 message errors or state issues finding a certain url.
Also its quick and easy to just add my own apps to my own panel and remove default existing panels this all works on the fly without having to reboot or disable and reenable home screens.

Hello, just made an app that allow users to toggle your favourite Home.
I just create a shortcut to the Home you want., just have a look at this Video, maybe that will be easier to understand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpONctP2F8
I found that Home switcher need such a feature, I contacted the dev, but doesn't want to work on something like that, so I did it myself!
Remarks:
* Cyrket description here
* Use the longpress on homescreen and create a shurtcut? If you launch the main app, the shortcuts will be created on ALL your Home! so you will need to delete some ;-)
Just tell me if you find that usefull or not!

1.01: major bug corrected with HTC Sense
1.0: First release
First post edited, the app is now in the Android Market. All seem to work fine.
Does it make the different homes default or is it just to switch between them?

Just a switcher. nothing special and revolutionnary.
Just wanted to share the app that I made for a friend. some people really like it and use it.
I don't have a really need for this app myself, but the few friends friends that try it really loved it.
May i ask where that background image is from? its stunning
Whats the background you have in that video??
Last version in the ANdroid Market allow you to use the longpress on Homescreen to add shortcut only to your favorite home.
Can now be used with launcherPro dock.
Just made an update.
I am very excited for some features, because I am making something like the Sense Desktop.
This allow you to create different Homescreens with different wallpapers and icons.
Please send me feedback!
What's New?
You can now rename the Shortcut. ( and also changing icon in future donate version)
You can now change wallpapers for each Home
I hope this feature will allow people to create Theme like Sense ( one for work, for games, etc...
Possibility to make it the default home when you use a shortcut.
Unfortunately this will break the behavior of the Home button in home ( Expose on LauncherPro or getting back to default homescreen)
Hope you will love it.
Ouch... just fixed a bug that was very annoying!
If you choose EasyHome as default without setting a Home, the app crashed.
Now fixed!
Can somebody help me please, people in comment report crashes, but I've got no problem on all my phones.
