i must be dumb, cause i couldn't find anything about this in any of the Ultimatelaunch threads. i just started using UL yesterday and i want to use a combined tab for 3 today plugins. HTC Home, Tasks, Calendar. unfortunatly, tasks and calendar DO NOT appear in the Today Plugin menu in UL.. so instead i'm using SPB Diary.
does anyone have any idea how to add them?
thank you very much.
your right, UL cant display some of the build in original windows plugins, Daniel wrote me that they are completly different coded or something.
SPB Diary is too heavy for me.. i would like to use something lighter. can you recommend on something similar to the regular ones that i can add?
Today Agenda
try freeware: "todayagenda"

yep... same limitation for throttlelauncher. Only DLL based plugins have the possibility to be embeded inside other today plugin. You can check HKLM\software\Microsoft\Today\Items\*****\ (where ***** is the plugin name) for the key DLL. If it exists, the plugin can be embeded... If not... search for an alternative .

I just find it easier to interact with than Today Agenda, SPB Diary and PocketBreeze
thank you very much

I Heard some things about spbplus, ilauncher and others. Now you as experinced users please advise me about which one I must install.
Thank you
I would go with:
Pocket Breeze & iLauncher
They are from SBSH and my favorite Today Plugins. Spb Tools are great too - but slow down the Wizard much more compared to the SBSH Tools.

Bingo !
Fully agree on this, specially the support at sbsh is fantastic

I installed SBSH PocketBreeze & iLauncher yesterday & think they're great, definitely recommend them
Don't forget Resco Explorer today plug-in, i couldn't live without it.
Another nice thing with PocketBreeze is that it uses the D-Pad; I'm into the no-stylus mode. Also it allows tabs-- I run PocketWeather (very nice), Backup, and ContactBreeze. Although ContactBreeze is merely "OK" in my book.
Separately, I run LVM time, which gives a narrow Date/Time strip on today and also puts the time in the taskbar, screening out the battery. It's free!

I have the Rescoe Explorer today plugin. How does it compare to PocketBreeze? Is one better or faster than the other, or should they be used together?
I am a big fan of SPB PocketPlus. Its not free but imo its the best one around. Its got a battery indicator, the requisit today screen tweaks like icons, indicators and tons more.
Pocket Weather
Is SBSH Pocket Weather transferable between devices i.e. if I pay $10 now & install on my Wizard will I be able to transfer it to a Prophet later?
Rather broad question...
*muttergrumble* dupe reply
Rather broad question...
It's a rather broad question, isn't it? What is the best Today Plugin for what? Launching applications? Showing the weather? Showing your agenda? Controlling a media player?
I am using WisBar Desktop, You can make as much as You want windows
with shortcuts of programs like desktop version.

They do totally different things, so can be used together.
I use spb pocket plus and pocket breeze. Pocket breeze is a must have,IMO
I love being able to access my calendar on my phone. However, it seems like I just get small chunks at a time with the built in calendar app. When I zoom out to see my whole week for example, I only see blue lines. I don't see exactly what the appointment is.
I know that is in no small way due to the limited size of the screen but I am looking for a more effective way to display my calendar.
I am currently trying pocket informant and it gets me closer to what I want. However, it has a couple screwy issues such as the bottom arrow of the scroll bar not being displayed etc.
So, what do you guys use? Or, are you happy with the built in calendar app?
Is there another forum that would be better for me to post this question? It's not directly related to the 8525 after all.
I'm using Pocket Breeze and very satisfied with it.
i use today agenda, its a killer app with many different customizations.. Dr. P got me hooked on this app!
http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda
I use SPB Diary, perfect today plugin that completely replaces the agenda. It's also the only today plugin I use or need.
I use SBSH.net PocketBreeze. I beta tested SPB Diary 2.0 and even tried the final version but wanted more control over customizing so I stuck by PocketBreeze. Still SPB Diary is also a fine product. You can't go wrong with either IMO. If you want to see your appointments in Calendar though I think you have to use one of those Power PIM apps [Agenda Fusion, etc etc] personally I find them overkill for my needs I stay with the default PIM and PocketBreeze.
I like pocketbreeze for the today screen display of the calendar. It's just when I go into the calendar app itself that I'm thinking there should be something better.
I'll check out your ideas. Anyone else?
I like the FREE Calendar+
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
Not a replacement for the MS Calendar, but rather a Today plugin.
I think it looks very similar to "View as Agenda" on blackberry.
also try out pocket informant alot of PB users also use that app.
Another vote for TodayAgenda. Excellent app. Free, small and highly configurable.
I've been using Pocket Breeze and Pocket Informant together since I had my old Orange M2000 and it works very well for me.
When using TrueVGA, I get a lot of "extra space" on the ToDay screen and I would like to display some more upcomming events (from the calendar). I tried Calendar+, but whit this installed WM5torage wouldn't work so it had to go.
Do you have a calendar plugin to recommend? Preferably free...

The best today plugin (but unfortunately not free..) has got to be SPB Diary 2 (and WM5torage works with it). I completely replace the Today screen with it as it does Diary with integrated Tasks, Tasks, Contacts, Notes (including office docs), Mail and 'Special Events' like Birthdays/Anniversaries (which I never use because I'm a Yorkshireman and Hallmark aint getting any cash out of me).

My own experience with WM5torage tells me that all plugins will have problem when you use WM5torage. You have to temporarily disable all plugins before using it. So don't give up on Calendar+ if you like it.

Really? So there are pluggin which could co-exist with Wm5torage ? This is new to me and it is a good news. This give me my next fun project - investigation and replacing all my plugins!
I am using TodayAgenda which I prefer over Calendar+
So I've done a bunch of searches on google and not really come up with any results. I'm looking for a pretty small (or adjustable height) today plugin which can display my most recently received emails, I like the email aspect of SPB diary, but I wouldn't really use any of the other tabs, and when I use it as a tab on ultimatelaunch all of ultimatelaunch's gesture commands get ignored (swipe left for left tab etc...), which I can't really deal with as I have other today plugins on my ultimatelaunch, plus SPB diary is like $20 and i'd prefer freeware if I can get it
If anyones knows of a plugin fitting that picky description let me know
Thanks.
PS: I'm also looking for an audio today-plugin with few more controls and not quite as compact as the htc audio manager today plugin, so if you know one I'd be grateful for that too
hello
excuse me for my bad english please.
You can use Today Agenda
pocketbreeze will do it as well and its not 8 years old

ThumbCal is what I use. Finger friendly and it replaces your current calendar
Just looked at thumbcal (screen shot page: http://www.thumbapps.com/pages/home/thumbcal/screenshots.php ) a little bit. A lot to like there, but it's missing two screens that, for me, are very important.
I'm using Pocket Informant right now. It's a quite complex program, and I know I'm only using maybe 20-40% of its functionality, but that's all I need. The two screen I referenced above are the week view, where the next seven days are displayed with appt names. And the month view, were I can see the fill month AND on the same screen see appts for the highlighted day. These are must have screens for me.
On the other hand, I do love how big and clear ThumbCal is and I do like the 'finger friendly' aspect of it. If they added those two views, I'd be very tempted to switch.
thx for both comments...trying thumbcal not...
Pocket Informant is what I use. I have used it ever since 2003 and it's great!
