This is my home screen.
I'm running:-
1. PhoneAlarm at the top
2. Plugin of my own showing date, battery life, temperature, notes and voice notes saved/outstanding and operator (with phone number popup)
3. Customised AlarmToday
4. NotesToday (the tiny blue dot, when shrunk, and then in drop down mode).
5. My modded version of QOTD.
6. cLaunch with some mods of my own.
7. SideX to run today plugins I don't need all the time, eg PocketWeather.
8. All running with SmallMenu Plus as my start menu.
Update (15 August 2005):
This is using a program I've written to provide a bigger Today Screen, removing the menu bar at the bottom. I use the bar at the top, so that stays put!)
Basic homescreen:
Showing NotesToday drop down:
Showing SideX today item (Floating keyboard):
Basic homepage showing my phone number popup - I use a dual sim so I can pop up my current telephone number (cus I'm too lazy to remember it!):
SmallMenu start menu button:
Showing my tool to relocate start button so I can have full screen applications:
Sorry for all the photos!

Phone Alarm + Pocket Plus 3 + Pocket Breeze

Here's mine..
Marsware WeatherPanel
SBSH PocketBreeze
SBSH iLauncher
RhinoStats

that's mine

Mine is just simple:
From top to bottom:
Spb Pocket Plus
PocketWeather
Phone Dashboard
XCPUScalar (The buttons at bottom and CPU load at top)

Pocket breeze / contact breeze
DK Today
SPB Pocket Plus

This is mine! Very simple, cause I don't want a crowded today screen. I have Pocket Plus 3 and Wisbar Advance 2.4 installed with a custom made Windows Mobile 5.0 theme. I can use it pretty much as a one handed device now, cause I have the cascading start menu onder the contacts hardware button and the REAL close button under the agenda hardware button. So I can navigate and close everything on my MDA by using the hardware buttons and the navigationkey. (Btw if you hold the action button the context menu will pop up, for more non-touchscreen action. ) Me iz happy. :twisted:

I really really want that Phonealarm skin you have there......

dmmh - I haven't quite finished it yet; phoneAlarm still needs work on the textwindow (see the up/down arrows on the left? they blank the icons and show a textwindow containing info about SMSs etc. But Bruce (author of phonealarm) hasn't finished implementing it yet.
It still works well right now tho, shows calls/sms/voice calls (you get a red highlight when a missed call etc) and one click access to bluetooth and headset.
On the right you've got a display of profiles (I only use loud, vibrate, flight mode and silent). Clicking on the very left (invisible) will bring up config.
The whole thing is coloured to match my today theme, a plain magneto blue, to complement my OS X start button!
If you'd still like the skin, send me a PM.

OK here:

Here is mine
Shortcuts are all working and the window has tabs as you can see where you can switch to different pages.

I really like the "simple" today screens. Can you list what your using, from the top menu bar down.
Thanks

xcilion: it's beautiful, is it claunch, WDA, PPX or something else?! :lol:
Coming from the SPV Smartphone and p900 (WDA is like p900's Tracker software, which is a beautiful piece of software, highly recommended), I think the today screen should do that, show you what you're doing Today/let you use the phone at a glance on switching on the phone.
I think program menus/launchers should be programs away from the Today screen, because you've got to have Today plugins running in the background all the time, whereas launchers and apps you don't need often should be launched as needed to save resources (at least on HTC with smallish memory).
Did you remove the "NEW" taskbar yourself, or is that a 3rd party launcher? I've just made a tool to remove the NEW bar from normal today screen for an extra 26 pixels - yours looks great Size matters!

All: I've updated my screenshot to show this program I've written

PointUI + Cube running together ?

Has someone running pointUI + Cube flawlessly ? I have tried different cubes already but the don't seem to work properly with pointUI because in both programs you must sweep your finger from bottom to top to change or launch the screen.

You could always set the cube to open with a different stroke couldn't you????

yes, thats possible, but that is also a litlle buggie with pointUI.
I like pointUI and i like the cube, i have found some nice incons for the cube to match pointUI. Now the only thing left is to make them run together, has some any idea wich cube version to use ?

For all PointUI users who want to easily use their cube, you should change the Cutomized option for the action bar : choose the WM action bar instead of the PointUI one.

@ MonteCristoffOn, I already tryed that. example: When I go to the system menu (right top) and sweep my finger down/up to scroll trough the menu, the cube comes up. This happens when i have WM action bar enabled.

HTC Home Customizer - Missing Contact Icon

I hope someone can help...I have a Mogul and installed the HTC Home Customizer it works well but the phone is missing an icon.
Currently: Home, Weather, Launcher and Profiles
I keep trying to add the 'Contacts' but it does not show up when I customize with either the "Today" or "HTC Home Customizer"
It should be fairly easy but I cannot find where to make the change in the registry if that is where it needs to be done.

Which version of HTC Home Plugin are you using? It might only be a 5 tabbed version. Try this one:

Are you also running any form of the Flo Cube? If so. That Is why.
To solve you need to go to today settings, uncheck contacts, hit ok. then go back in and check it to show again. Should be fine.

Task Manager

Hello,
I was looking to find a good task manager for the Xperia X1.
The possibilities I found were: Magic Button, wkTASK and PBar. But I do not know which one to take. I like the 'taskbar' functionality in Magic Button and wkTASK, which I miss in the HTC task manager.
What task manager software do you use?
Request for advice in choosing the best task manager for the Xperia X1.
Thanks in advance for any support and advice,
Mike

QuickMenu. It's almost perfect (almost).

I have problem with Quick Menu. When I press panel button, the panel selection screen only shows after I tap screen.

Doesn't Quickmenu lack the support for fast application switching as with the taskbar functionality in wkTASK and Magic Button?
(taskbar as kind of like in windows xp/vista).

i use pocket plus for tasks it fits my needs, and the programm at all is great on speed, functions and memory usage

I would like to easily switch between applications. For example to and between my agenda and browser during a phone call. Which application is best for this?

This is the best one that I've found. Amongst other things, allows you to manage all those hidden applications running. http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

i use wktask, quickmenu and fdcsoft taskmanager, all very different and have different uses.

PocketPlus comes w/ "alt-tab.exe" which does the same thing as your desktop.

volume control via hardware left side control

hi, I've just purchased a HD2 and I'm new to WM.
After installing some tweaks, I discovered that when i tune the volume using the button on the side of the phone, instead of showing the original volume level in a black screen, now it shows a small window on the top right corner.
How can I get back the original black volume control screen ?
i'm on Manila ver 2.5.19211619 and ROM 1.66 with 6.5.2 OS.
thanks
SN

Have u installed any taskbar modification?

i installed the following :
- cookie's home tab
- flashlight
- CHTEditor
-.Net CF3.5
-bluetooth toggle
- close album with X
- disable accidental link
- lonngpress send key
- faster manila tweaks
- opera 6 tabs
-reset and wifi
- speed up screen scrolling
-start menu icons and BG transparent
will any of the above cos the change ?
Thanks

Its definetely not cookies home tab, flashlight and probably not Net cf3,5, your best bet is to uninstall app one by one and soft reset after each to find out which one could be the culprit.

Thanks.
it's the last one that removed the original volume control.
i now have a new 'problem' - i could not remove the icon completely. Tried removing and the msg is that there are icons that are not removed completely and asked whether i want to tremove them, i confirmed 'Yes' but that prog will still appear in the list of installed prog. Tried a few times and it is the same.
Now the silent/ringer mode icon is mission from the task bar.
Looks like I will for other icons or reinstall the task bar icons and make do with the 'not so nice' volume control.
Thanks again

Sktools is great in uninstalling things, u can try it.
