How to set Home Screen .. - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

on HTC home screen. How can I set it to show today date for calendar and task. I saw some of you have that on yours, and some even have how many days to the next task, etc.
How can I do that?

I use SPB Diary, others use SBSH PocketBreeze. Look into either of these and see if they are what you are looking for.

Thanks, but I was hoping that I didn't have to pay for another program

A Better weather program than Journal Bar??

Does it exist?? Journal bar has become unreliable and I am searching for a replacement... :?: :?:
SBSH's Pocket Weather is superb.
WeatherPanel is fantastic...well worth the money and you get frequent updates and feedback from the developer.

I use a free software called WeatherInfo. The service is by Weather.com and the program is by Shane Church.

I agree.
I've tested many. So far this is the best IMO as a stand a lone and Today plugin. During tests, I found other programs reporting incorrect weather temperature way off than reality. SBSH's Pocket Weather is the best choice by far and well worth the few dollars.
Is there a trial version??
try
www.ajoliver.fs2.com/pocketpc/todayweather/
thats where i got mine
of cause it could be that you already knew from a google search
yeah, I did try that link but it doesnt work.
That program is no longer free, but here's an earlier version that was freeware. I use it and it works fine.
I go with the other recommendations of spsh pocket weather. Feature rich and very stable

Thanks very much for that, xda-rocks. Much appreciated.
Have a look at WeatherPanel by Marsware (www.marsware.net).
Having used both SBSH Pocket Weather and also WeatherPanel I much prefer the latter ...
Just personal preference I suppose !

I had lots of problems when I used WeatherPanel (marsware) on a long term trial, which made me glad I didn't buy it in the end. After a while it refused to update itself for a week (by which time I had a blank Today entry) and then would suddenly start working again.
However, it was a nice, usable program and looked good.
i had tons of issues with Journal Bar
so i just jumped on the first free weather panel i could find
today weather
seems that it's no longer free
which is why i dident bother to fixing my link
by reversing the fs2 to f2s

Need a Weather Plugin

Can anyone recommend a good, simple, customizable weather plugin for the Today screen? I've been using HTC Home, but it takes up too much room on the screen.
There's always Spb Weather:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather/?en
I think it's been discussed a few times on the forum.
Yeah,
and also SPB MOBILE SHELL has the weather next to other good stuff for today screen ...
Damn, am I the only one liking it???

Thanks, mrlease! I had tried SBP Weather, but couldn't get it to work. Weather to Go does what I need it to do, and the price is certainly right. (Though I would have paid for SBP the other day if it had worked.)
Thanks again!
OK, maybe I spoke too soon. Weather to Go works fine, but it has limitations. It doesn't appear to update over a cellular connection (ActiveSync or WiFi only), and it doesn't show current conditions.
So, I guess I'm still searching. Again, SPB didn't work for me (couldn't get it to connect), so that's not an option.
You might try: http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketweather/. It is cheaper than SPB by $5. I heard it has a smaller memory footprint than SPB, but I can not vouch for that. I tried it and liked it, but decided I could just use weather on mobile google.

I like SPB shell as well. I flash so much though that Ive gotten to where I dont even bother putting it back on. It's a pain to keep settting back up. The weather for my city though never seems to be even close to what it is. I have just found Marsware WeatherPanel. Seems decent enough. Still taking any other suggestions though.

I'm using WTG with WM6. I can update the weather through my data connection, wireless or ActiveSync. You might be confused when you look at the detailed weather drop-down for a city. The update date and time shown is the last time that NOAA updated the information for that city. BTW, most weather programs only give you a simple graphic with the high and low temperatures,
I really like WTG because I travel through connecting cities and it gives me a look-ahead for potential weather delays for multiple cities. Having to update manually is a small price to pay.

I tend to agree here. SPB weather was very inaccurate for me. Sometimes it would be as much as 10 degrees off. They use some weather source that is based in germany by default I believe I heard. There are user made weather sources that seemed to work better, but they were a pain in the neck to weed through, install, and configure in my opinion. SBSH's pocketweather worked great for me. But I ended up just using either the web or googlesms for weather. I'm in Dunbar, WV USA.
try weatherpanel 2.5
www.marsware.net.
The software is now free so you don't need to purchase. Its customisable and can have animated icons. I used with no problems but now use htc home.
I went back to SPB Weather, because I don't like how SBSH weather shows the detailed information, besides, for unknown reasons made my virtual page (I use WAD) really slow, changed to SPB again and everything works ok now.
PS: Nothing against SBSH, I moved from SPB Diary to PocketBreeze.

It only allows to download trial versions, there's an option to pay 13 dollars.

calendar app with colors like Palm

is there one? I had a treo for years and really enjoyed the way I could assign colors to categories. I haven't found an app for the Mogul that allows that. Does anyone know of one I could try? thanks!
free today and tomorow only
free today and tomorow only - Pocket Informant - does what you want and more! http://software.pocketpcthoughts.com/product.asp?id=1025
not really what I'm looking for. I tried it and it's way too complicated! And it highlighted the whole appt, not what I'm referring to. Made it hard to read depending on the color. I am looking for something rather simple like the Treo 650/700 has.
There's Agendus.

Need weather...

I'm looking for a weather program for my XV-6800. I don't want something that adds weather to the today screen, but something that shows it seperately.
Any ideas?
Here's a great program, and it's free:

im just the opposite, I want some that adds something to the today screen. I use weatherpanel, but I'm looking for something new to use, that actually gets updated now and again. I like how I can make weatherpanel use small icons and get a 7 day outlook easily.

is there an app for ppc that displays a today plugin twice?

hello!
is there an app for pocket pc that displays a today plugin twice? I mean like having
two pocket msn plugins at a time on the SAME today screen??
please answer anybody
thank you...
Only know of SK Today Commander which allows you to configure multiple Today profiles, meaning you could have the same plugin on each of your Today profiles but you can only use one profile at a time. Same plugin on the same Today profile shown twice?? Nope, I don't think that's possible, but I may be wrong...

Could they be switch on events ?
Let's say one profile for portrait and another one for landscape, and it would switch auto. on rotation ? That would be very cool for themes

ok!! thanks for the replies,
one last question, if its not posible to activate
two plugins on the same today, then at least I could try changing the name of the today plugins, and installing another without overwritting,
Is it possible? how can I do it?
Have you tried Ultimatelaunch - I know you can put multiple plugins on one page; however, have not tried to put the same plugin twice.
I am gonna try this to see.
OK, I was successful in having the window's live search today plugin twice on the same page using UltimateLaunch. To do so you must create a new page with combination tabs - Just to add two today plugins. It worked for me.

Use Samsung Time. You can press and hold the clock to access the settings. You can choose your choice of 2 time zones. I have attached it for you.
You can display a plugin only once on a screen. Some launchers, like WAD, have a portrait and landscape view. Either way, even if you had the same plugin twice, it can only be configure once, so you would just have a duplicate.

As I mentioned earlier, I did have the exact same plugin working twice on the same page using Ultimatelaunch. I agree though, that they would both be configured exactly the same. I did not test using a different plugin on the same page twice, how it would react. I have one page in my ultimatelaunch setup displaying 2 different plugins and it works great; however, personally have no need to display the same plugin twice on the same page.
you're right I haven't thought that way,
they'll have the same configuration and it will be just a duplicate.
but I have an idea, I think if I could change the first plugin's name and install the second they will appear like diferent plugins and have separeted options
what do you think? is it possible, may be editing the registry.

Hey, that would be sweet. Might be worth a try. (Perhaps a new thread is warranted for this though?) Better do some reading first to see if this has already been done.
I've actually thought about this. I think it would be cool to have 2 rotating cubes of ultimate launch on the today screen. That would make ultimate launch the ultimate app for me!

I'm sure there is a lot more than changing the name. Plugins use .dll's for configuration.

It's not free, it's about $10, worth it in my opinion.
The site is www.ultimatelaunch.de, for english, you can find it on Handango.
