Look for those launcher plugins for your Today screen. There are a few around, but I'm not sure which one is the better one. Look for the thread on the Today (eg member showing off their Today screen setup) screen and look for the screen with the thing that you fancy. The thread (post) should tell you what plugin they are using.
Vista mobile is just a theme. It is a Vista-wanna-be-look-alike for WM5. It uses various ways of changing WM5 to look like Vista. Similiar to Apple-wanna-be-look-alike WM5.
Hi.
I'm looking for a way to link back to my desktop.
Say I have installed one of those IPhone look launchers, and I want the calendar button to take me to my desktop where I have my pocket breeze installed, then I can make a link on my desktop to switch back to the launcher.
Does any one know how to do it?
Thnx
Itsik
Any one ???
Hey guys,
I love the functionality of HTC Home. However, I wished that the clock part of HTC Home is slimmed down so that there is more space for the today screen?
Is there any fix or alternative software that can please this soul?
Thanks

wisbar advance desktop...
its great, basically its a launcher that replaces today, but you can embed today plugins in it, so you could make the clock with a small font, then icons for the home tabs underneath, which correspond to programs, or docks, which arer small boxes that appear which have more shortcuts in them..
just a suggestion

Does it have a section for fast contacts ? I've seen phoneAlarm, has most of the stuff except the contacts part. That's what I love because when I'm in the car its easier to make a call.
hotplainrice,
I must admit I don't use the home plugin as I find it rather crude in its look and function. I use a combination of SPB Pocketplus, SPB Mobile Shell, and their telephony plugin (can't remember what its called but checkout their website). I must admit my device is highly customised; however I like it just the way it is.
Have tried to use Wisbar but found it a pain to get the look and functionality that I have been looking for. However I have seen a lot of good stuff on the Wisbar forum so please keep an open mind.
Cheers

yer erm you can make docks with contact pictures, so ive got mine set up to look like an iphone, ive got the phone button which goes to phone, or opens the dock with favourite contacts, then ive got sms, lock/internet, media player and finally my programs dock. And in my programs dock, i have a link to another page on WAD [it can have many pages] which has all my windows today plugins.. so has speed of the iphone and the functionality of windows.. so to answer your question, it does have easily accessible contacts, but you have to customise it yourself..

I once used HTC Home Plugin, but troubled with the weather panel, so I uninstall it, and imo, the closest app to HTC Home plugin is SPC Mobile SHell 1.5 + SPB Phone Suite. Closest to intersface, yet more powerful ability...
just like those two guys, i use spb programs... when i said i had today plugins on a seperate page, i meant i have spb pocket plus 4, with diary and weather integrated into it..
spb programs are great
and wisbar is a pain, but once its done, it works perfectly

There is of course the other HTC app "HTC Plus!" Clock, shortcuts and links to message folders without taking up the entire screen. Doesn't have the weather functionailty or music player control tho
rltoday has a skin that is like HTC Home but is slimmer. Might want to give it a look.
Check out HTC Plus! SHould be on the forums somewhere
Thinking of going down the wisbar way. HTC Plus is too simple, no contacts tab. Thanks guys for the replies.
i can send you my theme if you like.. i paid for it, but dont mind sending it.. just so yoou can get a go before you commit to buy it... but you'd still need to get the wisbar codes (10usd each).
rory

Hey, that was cool, I'd like to have HTC Home Plugins Theme for WisBar Desktop... would you like to share for me too? tq =)
My last WisBar Desktop Theme was modified iPhone theme, create 3 virtual pages; Welcome screen, App shortcut, and Agenda (put pocket breeze plugins there)
thx!
deleted, double post...
check out my phonealarm skin I made long time ago http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=5136.0
Use phonealarm. Its alot better, less buggy and more options.
Anyone know how to add your own icons for programs you add to the launcher? The default selections had custom icons, but when I add a program from the list to an empty laucher spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can that be changed?
Hmm
If its on the storage card it may not use a icon. How ever if it is in the Main mem it should use the current icon on the shortcut. There is a program to change them but did u install the HTC Home Customizer!?
Yes, I installed the customizer, and chose an Icon set. When i went to the "Launcher" tab, there were about 6 entire already there, like "backlight" and "Launch Program Folder" and "Lock Device"
All of those options had custom icons. However, if I add an app to a blank spot, it uses the default windows icon. Can I provide an icon of my own choosing for the phone to use in that launcher spot?
I would like to do exactly the same. have nice launcher icons for other programs. Like GroupSMS. Help Anyone?
THX

I was poking around in the registry and noticed therfe was a value called iconpath in HKLM/software/HTC something or other. Maybe that would work?
Its best to resize them to 32x32 before setting them as custom icons or your launcher looks messy. Took a while before I could my the Opera icon right I store in the My Pictures folder and Im doing just fine.
How?
You said you were able to resize the icons, did you do that with the directory listed above?
there is a tutorial on the HHC site.
Im having the same issue. Im using the stock Spb MS / Suite / Weather / Plus tabbed layout. When I added programs last night *some* of them showed up correctly, but now this morning after powering back on, many are the default windows icon.Example: Resco registry editor and Resco explorer. I tried changing the icon, but in Spb's menu it only shows icons in Spb's bank of icons.
Very annoying. Still playing....

Hey there,
Just curious, is it possible to port the facebook panel application simply into the program files?
(I'm no good with coding but I'm sure one of you guys/girls could do it?)
If it's possible to take TF3D from the Today list and turn it into it's own panel, surely you can reverse engineer the Facebook panel to act as a program?
Basically, it annoys me that facebook becomes the 'Today' screen and I'd rather just use it as an application (like Windows Live Messenger), plus, when Facebook is loading the Task Manager disappears :S
I would lik to know if this can be done also. I know other programs have been ported from panels to the program list.
Look at this one...
