best multipage/multitab today plugin?

Hi guys,
What's the best multi page today plugin with the ability to insert today plugins inside pages?
I'd like if i could have first top half of the screen with htc home plugin and second bottom half with more than one tab with inside different today plugins.
Sorry for my english, hope clear enough...
TY
Bye

there is wisbar advance desktop (WAD for short) which can do some wondrous things and it is completely customizable and skinable:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
takes a bit to get used to, but you basically lets you create today screens and add what you want to them, including other today plugins and counters, text , images etc...sorry, not the best description. Have a look at the forum on the site to see what people are using it for.
Hope it helps

I like the good ol' HTC Home. Nice and simple.

I'm really digging on the the tried and true cLaunch lately. As I'm limited to a 240x240 screen, there are only a few viable options for the limited real estate and cLaunch is working nicely as an app launcher. In conjunction with Quickmenu, I manage my device and access my apps with minimal keying.

X2 for cLaunch. Simple, clean, multiple pages, custom icons (.bmp, exe, or dll) you can even change the size of the icons you want to make it more finger friendly. I set mine to 32 pixels, and took off all the borders and tabs. You can use lnk shortcuts.

I think OP 's original request was for something that is tabbed AS WELL as be able to include other today plugins as tab.
can cLaunch or ultimate do that?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can but there are some plugins it can't incorporate which I wish it could like the WM6 calendar and task plugins.

is there an english version of ultimatelaunch

This is a best plugin so far and uses a minimal amonut of ram considering how much works it does.
Anybody know how to put meter in this plugin like battery, signal, memory etc. And show running programs in a tab.

You can create your own tabbed today plugin (for FREE) by using:
1. rlToday
2. MortScripts

thanks its nice but is threre a plugin for unread msg and phone calls

That ULTIMATELAUNCHER thing seems quite nice - but I havent figured if it is possible to point it to a folder. It has super interface, but I find it a bit to difficult to configure...

Spb Mobilee Shell 2.1 + square VGA Themes

Hi Guys,
I followed with interest over the last weeks the development of Themes for Spb Mobile Shell.
There were a lot of Themes posted for QVGA devices - however few or none compatible to 240x240 (eg Treo) or 320x320 (eg i780) square VGA Devices.
After an exchange with JOPIEJ (who contributed some square Themes) I would like to start this new Threat - as the original Threats really become a little bit too difficult to follow with numerous Posts every day!
So - pls start posting away yr Mobile Shell compatible sqaure VGA Themes!

I thought this was a great idea..... but i guess the 240 x 240 is a dieing breed...

Perhaps you guys can search the skins thread and look for jolpiej. He created a number of 240x240 themes.
Put them over here so people can refer to it.

VGA
Hi,
I would agree that 240x240 will die sooner or later - however new Devices like the i780 (and as far as I know this Device is selling quite well) as well as the upcomming Treo 850 have 320x320 VGA = there should be an increasing demand.
Hope that some of the Guys who did all this great work for current QVGA will find the time to convert to 320x320 VGA Versions as well.......just a silent Prayer

jopiej-
Many thanks to you- for your work on square VGA theme, from another treo 750 owner!
I've been lurking in this forum for a while, trying to learn how to make my own theme.
I'm just learning how complex it really is, but I haven't had the chance to compare files (and the necessary changes) for a VGA 240x240 phone. (The square VGA devices do not seem to be a favorite anymore.)
I'm looking forward to your new theme! (And hopefully, I can learn from your expertise!)
Thanks again!
Bridget

How exactly do I install this?

First save your current theme files from device/program files/spb Mobile Shell into backup folder (If you unzip the new ones you will see the file names you need to save - they are the same - you will just 'replace' them.
Once you have backed up your original theme layout files, just copy the new ones into the same directory and soft-reset. Presto.

Notes : please select professionals screen for now screen.

More great work jopiej. Getting close to one theme for each day of the week!

@jopiej - Room for improvement?
Hi.
May I suggest you to include this weather icons in your wonderful creations?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2248748&highlight=samurize#post2248748
Also, i tried to adjust the status icons from the original Diamond skin to work with your Diamond+PS3 (240x240) theme with little success... I think that this could be a nice improvement.
Thanks.

Iphone-like taskbar

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.

The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.

Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.

Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.

Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.

- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.

I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*

all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.

as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore

Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?

can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers
for example in this pic, where it says Phone Off, i wud b nice if had a rogers logo or some type of Green icon so i know my gsm carrier is ONLINE

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.

any developement in this taskbar?

The Russians are testing SPB Mobile Shell 3.0

This is RC. Screenshots

Actually, the entire world is. It was leaked to the public.
I saw a link of an all black theme for it, now I can't find it.

cool but nomore widgets?

we all are trying it lol. and yes there still is widgets.
probs so far.
- it conficts with touchflo 3d
- no box to deselect in home plugin menu
- finger scrolling working ok but could be a lot better
- no panel included in the cab install like there weather and travel software (i have a x1)
- uses a lot of wm stuff instead of there own software (eg, clock, sms, alarms, calender etc). not really a prob but would have prefered if they used the own software (jaze it up a little.

there is a section in the program/settings menu called themes, black theme is in there but looks the same as having no theme

Installed this morning, loving it, does gradually hog the resources the more you do, but I guess the official version will be sorted, will definitely buy this, if there is only one bit of software you buy for your PPC, this is it..10 out of 10 from me.
Beats TF3D and SPB mobile shell 2 hands down.

to each their own, i installed the 'trial' and have to say that i got very disappointed; i used the v2 for a long time before i got my xperia and i loved it; now that i've seen the v3 it's uglier and less intuitive, i say no to that and stick to my tf3d which in general is also much smoother than this;
yark and blah...

Which UI do you prefer?

Just wanted to gauge what everyone's thoughts were about which UI they prefer the most now that there are so many options.
Which do you prefer using out of the below:
TF3D
TF3D2
Titanium
Point UI
SPB Mobile Shell

Voted for TF3D even tho I haven't tested any of the other, but I've seen youtube videos.

Neither of them..Sense UI all the way.

It doesn't matter if it hasn't been ported to the diamond..All I know is that Sense UI is the best UI out there. Just my two cents.

Wich UI do you prefer?
I would say PointUI Pro with the Sense UI themes and applets, works like a charm, feels smooth and lag free.

SPB Mobile Shell 3

SPB shell is the best for me, better than manilla, it can be configured like you want and everything it is very accesible and finger friendly.

Using titanium right now. But can't wait when HTC releases sense ui for winmo.
Also looking for good port of sense ui for now, which one you using CraZyLiLbOy ?

voted TF3D2 now it's very usable also with the "old" diamond
PointUI is really nice but wastes too much memory
SPB Shell isn't free

I really like SPB shell is the best.
Its finger friendly, customisable and easy to use.

I'm a Titanium user for now. But when Manila 2.6 shows up... I'll be switching to that!

Im with you on that one Trident. Can't wait for the Diamond Dev's to port it over

I feel all the new UIs are memory hungry, so use the old school Touch Home screen, got everything you need, and still room to fit a couple of home plugin's on the today screen, and it runs so much quicker than anything else I've tried (and I've tried them all)

does anyone knows where to find old school htc today for vga screen?
found couple htc today, but icons are too smal at vga screen.

This is the one I use, works fine both portrait and landscape.

Agreed. Everything is so much easier with it. You dont even have to use the start menu if you configure it properly.

SPB mobile shell is well worth the $30
