How are you guys customizing your today screens?

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies

matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468&highlight=

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers

matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.

Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using

Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin

Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

Yeah, that is what I was refering to. When do you think it will be released?
Many thanks

There's so many program's out there that can change the way you're today screen looks
- PocketBreeze
- PocketPlus
- RescoExplorer
- and many more
I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?

matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.
Many thanks

matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

i use .mobile contacts on my jam and it makes finding contacts and calling them much much easier while driving. don't know if its completely compatible with WM5 but won't hurt to try. heres the link http://www.sygic.com/mobile/phoneedition/index.php

The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!

Sounds good - any chance of a link?

Find it here http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/index.php
Chris Mckay the guy behind wisbar is very helpful. Wisbar 1 is free and wisbar 2 is only $10 a bargain in my book!

ULTRA COOL, ofcourse I will have it
very very nice, I cant imagine staying without those cool skins

has any1 cot a basic theme editor, i found one that does the job but only for portrate mode, i basicly want it to allow me to put everything grey/black and change the image on the today screen, but have the image work both landscape and portrate
thanks

ok, thanks
Enybody know what is name of that skin, where i can download that skin?

Yes its called vista lite - see here http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3435

Try themegen ce you can download it from this link (scroll down to find the post on page 1) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560&start=0
best free one i know

Hi all,
I have two questions about themes:
1. When using skins with the above cool tool, and use other themes, do the themes remove skin customizations? I want to use .tsk themes and keep the background picture and taskbar skins.
2. I have downloaded over 500 themes from the internet, anybody knows a FREE utility that changes the theme automatically and periodically?? I want to be surprised everyday with an new cool theme
Thanks all,
Mohammad
--------------------------------
Waiting for my XDA mini S with 1GB miniSD. Dying to see it in my hands ( I have been waiting for 40 days and there still 14 days to wait, this really sucks)

When you change the theme, the wisbar skins stay the same, so no worry's there. 500 themes !!! wow that's keen.
I think there maybe a theme changer but can't recall where = google it you have some time on your hands

Hi I have a question..
will installing and using this skin in particular, slowing down the performance a bit?
thank you

Some people with athe cingular 8125 have reported significant slowdowns but with me only a slight slowdown - better if you dont use the wisbar cascading start menu. There is a bit of a memory leak though, but a soft reset once a day solves this. Chris Mckay the developer of this hopes to have a better increased performance version of this soon.

yea i think so too, it takes slightly longer for me to open some apps too.

You can download Theme Generator from Microsoft which include "Theme Switcher" - you can tell in what time intervals and what themes must change :lol: nice app from Microsoft and it free :lol:
here you can find:

What program you are using to create Themes?
Which first I shoud try ? Which is the best?
I want create for landscape mode also.

that vista theme does look nice..
so what area the difference between the free and $ versions

downside of wizbar is it is a MEMORY and CPU BEAR! It will eat your battery like xmas dinner with the trimmings.

You can download it further down the page. It has wm5 features and can do landscape - although to get the landscape pic to stay i found a little tricky.

Is that blue taskbar etc..? that can definitely be changed persist with it - it has bit of a learning curve.

Great stuff! I use Wisbar Advance 2 but I dont have the skin!

Anyone know a Today Plug in that can do this?

I was wondering if there is a today plug in that will allow me to write or type my own message and show up on my today screen permantly (and allows me to change it through settings)?

Doesnt thebuild in tasks plugin work for you?? Or you want a more "post-it" notes kinda feel??

I just want like one line on my today screen to write whatever I want....for example......like the owner informations with phone number is 2 lines.....I want to disable that and write my own information in one line.....doesn't have to be owner info....just anything I want.....it's kinda hard to explain.....and I want to to be able to use chinese characters to write too.....

tbito, this was exactly what i was thinking of recommending to kiru...and i can confirm that it works with wm2005. i'm using a mio a701 and this is one of my plugins.

Yes, NotesToday is one of my staples. I think it's very useful.
I tweaked the default skin slightly to allow me to minimise it to a dot, (just above the weather plugin)
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then maximise it to normal:
I didn't end up using it much, but nice idea, well implemented, and well worth the $5.
V

hey vijay, very interesting the way you made it look so small and efficient! mind sharing it? :wink: interesting little application; although i don't use it as much it's good as a quick scratch pad for all occasions...

Someone just emailed me about the skin.
I've found a copy on my ftp - I haven't used the plugin for a while, because I'm still migrating my setup to WM5 and deciding on new plugins.
But hopefully this is the skin shown:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!tools/notestodayskin/notestoday_skin_new.zip
I modified the skin to take almost no room, but be stylus selectable, but particularly selectable with the dpad. I can't remember if I had to edit the registry, but basically you can switch minimised and maximised mode by scrolling down the today screen with the dpad and clicking enter. It'll shrink/expand accordingly
V

Hi Vijay,
I Guess this is off topic. But on one of the screenshots your have an extra blue bar underneath the start button. With two arrow vertical up anddown at the start and sms, phone, and bluetooth etc. in it. I also saw some sort of profiles program with the same arrows in a later screenshot. with seems like profiles to me.
Are those programs the same and if yes, which program is it? I'm tried several programs Pocket Zen phone and WM Profiles. But wasn't happy because the vibrate function didn't work properly on my wizard.
Let me know, thanks.
Cheers
Shah

Shah, the blue bar near the top in my 18 August 2005 screenshots is an early version of my PhoneAlarm skin. This was refined into the one you can see in my 5 April 2006 screenshot, at the top of the screen (being used via my VJToggleToday program).
This is used to select profiles (where the normal "Vibrate" icon is at the top of the screen, clicking this brings a drop down menu with my profiles, Work, Home, Silent, FlightMode)
PhoneAlarm is excellent, generally. Profiles are a very basic feature on any phone, and it's mindboggling that it's not a standard feature, but I like PhoneAlarm, and Bruce, the author (you can also see my slightly hacked version of AlarmToday as well in the screenshots).
My 5 April 2006 screenshot also shows claunch at the bottom (apologies for the stupid icons, I lost some icons when I changed phones), being used to change PhoneAlarm profiles with my thumb. So I can make calls/send SMS using VJPhoneTools, change profiles (PhoneAlarm), and launch selected apps all from the same plugin.
V

Vijay, do you not find PhoneAlarm is resource-heavy?
Also, is that skin on your home page? (I've had a look and can't see it)

Hi Guys,
First: THANKS YOU vijay555 for giving me the skin files! (I'll mail you later with my findings, regarding VGA and landscape use)

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Puzom:
I may have the skins at home. Frankly, it's easy to write your own. The standard skins are nothing exciting!
Webreaper:
My phonealarm skin is towards the end of the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
I've used PhoneAlarm for pretty much my whole year on XDA devs, and never found it to be a problem on resources. There are simpler ways of doing what it does, but it's useful, and gives me easy control of profiles etc. Bruce is filling it up with stuff I can't imagine needing, like cell based profiles etc, but I'm happy with the basics - notifications, mail count, profiles etc.
PhoneAlarm or a similar app is essential IMHO for effective use of the phone.
I've had trouble with AlarmToday since upgrading to WM5, but the old WM2003 version was flawless and very useful too.
V

Thanks Vijay. Your skin looks the simplest and neatest I've seen.
I really liked the idea of the cell-based profiles, in particular for things like enabling wifi for when I'm at home, but disabling it when I'm at work. Unfortunately, my house and office are both on the same cell.

very Nice and simple , what today plugins are u using,

This is mine at 192 dpi mode.
The meter bar is from pBar. This is also used for application switching, comm manager,and limited application launching.
The time and date comes from registry edit, and appears on all application, so that I need not come back to today screen to see the date and time.
The little circle with rotation mark is the dictionary lookup, and appears on internet explorer or word,where I may need help with the definition of any word.
I need to watch my data quota, so this status must be visible. Same for key stock investment.
The main application launcher is iLauncher.
Screen rotation is done with hardware button, so that I can still do it when browsing the net in full screen.

Pocketbreeze and ILauncher. Mine is almost exactly the same except my launcher has 4 tabs to his 2.

What software do you use to take a snapshot of your today screen?

I use iLauncher to capture the screen.

How bout a simple method to catch the screen instead of a launcher app?

Yes, I agree, WA3 beta 4 works well with my Dopod U1000. Athena's top specs should have no problem with it.
WM6 combined with WA3 is just like upgrading Windows XP to Windows Vista.

Good tip for people with the 6800, or any 320 X 240 and 240 X 320 screens, in google just type in the serch bar,
"320 x 240" and "240 X 320" for landscape and portrait pics..

lets see, visible, i have htc home, of course, and thats about it. the buttons are done with wisbar desktop and the menues and task manager are all wisebar advanced. power button is shutxp. battery meter at the top is vistahide battery gauge. i think that might sum it up?

Wow -- I really like that fact that you told us everything that you had loaded too. That really helps being new and such. Thanks.

Basically using the HTC Home Customizer with HTC HomeW6.
I have installed the HTX X-button but not really sure I like it. Open to other recommendations.
Also, I have the Stroths-Codyppc LedKiller 3.1, but it doesnt always seem to work -- real strange. Seems like once I sync up, it deactivates or something. Open to a better suggestion here too.
Edit: Actually the LEDKiller 3.1 does work as it is suppose to. I didn't realize that it would start blinking again if I had a vx msg out there. Ahh, still learning.

My today screen looks identical to yours so I won't bother posting a pic.
Regarding your task manager, I fully suggest wktask. It is customizable like crazy. For instance, I have mine set up so that a downward swoop closes all open apps. In one swoop!!! Tell me that's not convenient.

No you can't..sorry lol..

do you think you could run me through setting up wisbar desktop with that vista theme? I tried once, but just ended up locking up my phone and having to reinstall to be able to do anything.

I would be more than happy to help anyone with Wisbar, either advance or desktop. I have become quite fond of the programs. I will tell you that if you are using any of the new roms of new radios, for some reason wisbar is a little glitchy (they are slow to update their software). I used the vista theme for quite a while, had the windows, C:, sidebar, everything. But its a HUGE memory hog. As much as it was cool to show people that I could open a window on my "desktop", it wasnt worth having to wait 10 seconds to reply to a text message because the phone was loading so slow. I am actually using the vista theme right now on wisbar. Thats what the button on the bottom is. The Vista theme (original, not the crappy knockoff ones) is three pages, the one you see on mine, a desktop one, and a sidebar one. I have just removed the last two. If you are still interested, let me know. I have the original files for the vista theme, i can upload it and let you know how to set it up.
And Mr. Nur, I dont really know what you are trying to say in reply to the question about HTC home. The HTC home on my screen is the EXACT same one thats on your screen. I can customize it using HTC customizer if i want to and I have the 6 tab option as well (i just like only 5 of the tabs though.) So I guess i dont really understand the question. I am running that setup with HTC Home?

Win Ce Cab Manager and wallpaper tsks
Does anyone know how to make Win Ce Cab Manager change your tsk files. Or change the wall paper. What i'm tryin to do is install a cab that'll change my wall paper for me.

The only thing I wan't people to do when they see the thread is download that program and post 2 pics of their phone, i'm just hosting a thread so anyone can show people what there phone look's like after putting time into it..

Mine's not anything special at the moment because I just flashed to the new ROM this weekend and I haven't gotten around to setting it up all the way yet. I will probably not do too much customizing until I get a ROM I want to settle on.
