Question for developer genuises

Hey,
I am wondering if it is possible to create Today screen plug in that displays how many calls have been missed and if less then a defined number (say 5) displays the callers names/number if known? Has something like already been done? If not, how hard would it be to implement this? Any clues to help me to start this project?
Thanks

Check if phoneAlarm with an appropriate skin suits your needs.

Absolutely, PhoneAlarm is my recommendation.
If you're asking if it's technically possible, of course!

[unfortunately the bit you want, last caller info, is obscurred because it was my Mistress or somesuch]
From a technical point of view, this is very easy to do on WM5 using the state and notification broker.
DKToday might also be helpful and is free.

Any idea which skin I should use to get the functionality I need? MOst of the skins just show indicator or number of missed calls. I want to see whose calls I have missed from the Today screen.

PhoneAlarm skins can be built to show this info as standard (most skins have this feature hidden until "maximsed". But there's nothing to stop you doing it by standard)

Better interfaces for SMS\MMS?

I see there are a lot of homescreens and skins for the WM platform...but one thing that I'm really missing is some interfaces\apps for creating and sending SMS\MMS that are better suited for finger typing...since it all about touch on some devices...like my on Polaris
Does anyone know of something like that?
From what i gather sms\mms\email are all baked in to the outlook app on my device, but are there any better apps out there?

To faster create a new sms or mms, I use the HTC action screen.

The PocketCM contactmanager has a built-in SMS function. SMS history is shown threaded, MSN like. It does however have issues with several SIP panels, in my experience.
Just open PocketCM, scroll to a contact, select the contact and then select SMS to get in the messaging screen. The space in the bottom of the screen is for typing a new message. Four fingerfriendly clicks and you're typing away.

HOW CAN I SETUP THE HTC action screen. ?
THANKS

I've found the Cab on this topic.

Creating a simple Calendar App - need help

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

need to remove date from calendar slider icon on sense 2.1

I have searched through the manila files many times looking for the culprit here. I am now confident that what I am looking for must be somewhere else. I want to change (eliminate) the date showing on the slider over the calendar. I have spoken with a couple chefs as well as a few modders that have made sliders. The general consensus so far is to find a calendar icon that the date works well with. As you will see in my SS below, this is not really and option for my slider. Does anyone have some insight so I may finish my slider?
{
"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"
}
The black font "20" over my calendar is what I am looking for. I took this off my phone for now so I can't screenshot the calendar preview that comes up in the middle of the screen. That also has the annoying date over the icon. I am hoping someone can locate the file(s) I need to fix this.

Update:
I have looked through all of the graphics contained in the windows folder. No luck yet. My search continues.

Sadly i cant help you out...allmost got the same problem.
I want to remove the top black date-numbers, any ideas?

[REQ][Q] calendar mod

hi everyone,
i was wondering if there could be a mod for calendar on TF3D or SENSE that allow/set different colors for appointments so that it would be easier to point out which are appointments, notes, holidays, occasion or just by categories [color coded] , instead of the dull gray arrow, you know what i mean ^_^
i made a sample screenshot on how it would look like:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
i just picked out 6 basic colors, which i think is enough to set different categories
---
is there? or possible?
thanks for the time and viewing!

ahhh that would be a dream for me... i hope someone has the time to develop this for manila and/or sense. maybe this is possible with CHT?

calendar mod
i'm no programmer but, i think if someone good or better, would dig up the manila files... there could be a file/png/jpeg that would be able to replace the old "gray" arrow/pointer color, but that would put it on just one color...
with a little programming [i think] there has to be a way to make colors different by setting different categories...
this i say IMO only.. ^_^

i hope the colors are possible for the agenda view to....
