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.

I need some inspiration.
Heres mine

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

OK - so the cube is nice and all.. but I think using that same interface in a slightly different way would be so much better...
Here's my perfect version of the cube (coming from a non-programmer..)
slide-up, bring up task manager with first item start menu or list of frequently run programs, rest of the items what you're running so that you can quickly select a different app.
Slide-down, close that..
slide-down while in another app - minimize that app and show the today screen
slide-left, select last app
slide-right, select next app
Does something like this exist? I think it'd be so much more useful then what the cube/cube hacks are offerring at this point..
-mark
i was meaning to give the same thoughts...
or instead of a thinking of it as a cube.. why not explore and expand.. we dont have to limit the launcher just as a cube..
i think the problem is PEOPLE ARE BEING CONFINED BY JUST THE IDEA OF A CUBE.. with 3 or 4 sides.. 2x3 launcher, 1x3 multimedia and 3x3 contacts.
why can't it be 4 sides of scrolling list? why remain as 3 or 4 sides of nxm shortcut/contact blocks?
i mean, having a list instead, of cells or blocks, the entries could be infinite...
not just a favorite Programs (like that offered by the cube) but a complete application launcher itself.. much like the programs list of PointUI..
OR like this..
swipe up from any screen (maybe done by FTouchFLO gesture) = call up CUBE launcher face
from CUBE launcher face, swipe up = call up another face.. the Task manager face.. where running programs are listed
from Task manager face, swipe up = you get a Start Menu launcher.. it has all the programs/shortcuts listed inside the Start Menu\Programs
now there would be the problem of recognizing swipe up from finger panning/flicking scroll.. but that problem has been solved already by the gesture delays employed by FTouchFLO.. so, no questions there..
the question now is.. who is willing to do the task..
i think i'm talking in gibberish now, so i'll stop..
PS: anyway dude, the slide gestures of minimizing and application switching can be achieved by FTouchFLO.. there is a little config tool developed called "FTouchFLO Config" that enables you to assign gestures to commands easily.. though you need 3rd party apps to make the Minimize and Task Switch.. but those are not hard to find..
hehe..
I tried Ultimate Launch and Slither's. They both work, but it's not for me. I want a simple laucher that it's not a today's plugin.
UltimateLauch is a today's plugin which does its purpose to lauch apps, but you can't slide your fingers back and forth to change tab. You need to click on a tab to change...sometime i can slide my fingers, and it goes to the next tab, but it get stuck and I have to press the previous tab to go back. I know i'm being picky, but when i'm driving, it's hard to focus on the tab...I wish it can scroll thru a list of programs that you assign. Also, I found some great icons but you can't assign them to the indiviual program themselves. I think the icons are in .ico and the program icon are in .lnk
Slither's is a great app that it's not a plugin, but it offers too less of programs that can be loaded.
GSmart Touch, scrolling is soo horriable, I can't scroll with my fingers. I think it works well with a stylus.
If it can be like s2p like, just scroll until I find what I want and click and launch program. If it can see .png, .ico and any other formats that is out there for icon makers, that would be great.

you're wrong about UL ,we can use fingers to change tabs from right to left and left to right and you can use the gestures from up to down and from down to up to run applis
Try PointUI or IFonez though I prefer the former.
If you just need sliding + Ultimate Launch then use FTouchFLO with Ultimate Launch. It works
HandyLauncher.....very small launcher, can be assigned to any button so u dont have to go back to Today.
I'm not understanding your problem with UL, just make sure your screen gesture % is lower if it's not working for you. I use it and it always works, and quite smooth I may add.
Have you tried SPB Mobile Shell?
One of the main purposes of UL (aside from the launcher part) is the fact that you can slide from screen to screen. It is, simply put, the best program to do this with period.
I think the Cube is much nicer and I don't want 2 different menu interfaces its only confusing so do someone know how to disable the old startmenu? or ultimate make the Cube appear when I press the windows button
there is no need for, just dont press the menu button
the cube would need 10 sides to have all of the startmenu. sometimes you NEED the menu
why should the cube open with menu button ? it opens with gesture.
sorry this thread makes no sense for me.
i disabled the cube its nothing more than a ram eating nice launcher. and Ultimatelaunch can do that better and is easy to customize.
One of the 3rd party start menu programs has 2 options, if you press the little windows flag it launches the normal wm menu, and if you press start it gives you big menu, i spose it would be nice if the windows flag could launch the cube (and maybe chaged to a little icon of a cube) and the start bar would launch the normal menu.
because the startmenu isn't fingerfriendly, and its ugly oldstyle, and it's not needed to have 2 menusystem
both cube and startmenu. Or actually there's 3 menusystem, if you count in launchers from todayscreen.
I guess iCube could replace old startmenu.
also windowsicon already looks like a cube

I see you are asking this for several days now. in all kind of forums.
I don't have the answer for you, but i will tell you how i would try to find the reg key for example.
I would take a program that takes over the start button function ( quickmenu)
Then i will take a reg editor that can compare 2 registries (CEregeditor)
ok
step 1. make a copy of your registry
step 2. install quickmenu
step 3. compare your old registry with the new one and look wich regkey's quickmenu changed and added. (with the option to replace the windows startbutton on offcource)
step 4. try to find the "one" reg key change and try to make it so that it will start for example biotouch.exe
I hope i did get you started, as i'm not a programmer nor i hae any interest in the function you want to make, i will not try to do it myself therefor i wish you good luck with it and i hope for you that you will find it.
Greetz,
how do i get rid of senseless threads ? hehe
thank you re-mi I will try your description
regards
go to the link in my signature, download the Classblack zip file.. and take vjtogglealphaii from it and put it in your startup folder in "/windows/startup"
itll take off both your start menu and your softkeys... if you need to change anything message me ill tell you how to change the registry
I am looking for a solution for changing the programs in TF3D.
I tested already the Alt-tab.exe and the alt-tab in Aebuttons.
If you have 3 programs opened these alt-tab changes only to one or 2 programs.
I mapped the alt-tab to the back-sensor button (right button to "Home").
Does anybody knows a working solution?
Me too!
Furthermore, is there any way so set the taskmanager that comes with HD and is only useable in homescreen on a button, so that it works form any open window?
copy the TaskMgr.ink from windows to \windows\startmenu\Programs - It is not beautyful but it works. I´ve set it on long press phone button - bebause I need all buttons as they are
well the taskmgr.lnk contains the html-help to the taskmanager. if you start the taskmgr.cpl you have only a windoq of the running programs. not a finger-friendly solution.
Yes
I would prefer a solution as is already is on the HD on top of today screen. But I don´t find a way to get it to work on a button.
Hey try this one! I like it
