Why dont my programs close when I press the X at the top right? This is very annoying. I have to go to my running programs and close them manually, grrr. Anyway, is there a way to change the default behaviour so that the programs do close? Or is there a utility to do so?
Thanks
Allan
it's always been that way with pocketpc / windows ce
it's ment to be that way
pocket plus let you do it different but with some applications it mess up pretty bad if they are closed like that
like if you write an sms and send it and then close outlook before the sms is sendt 100%
Use Tascal Close all application from this site.

Dear "allanmb", try spb Pocket Plus 2.0 or 2.1, it has the "close" button feature, in addition to other useful features, like:
Today plug-in.
Short cuts to programs
Drag-and-drop in Today plug-in
Saving webpages and pictures in PIE
New window support in PIE.
Taskbar battery indicator (in the top)!
Extended themes
Storage card formatting
ZIP support.
"Folder Up" button added.
And other features.
Any way, it is a good tool.
Another good software that has this feature, is Battery PackPro from Omega One, it has alos "close" button features, Today Plug In, Battery indicator (nice one)!, and other features as well!
Both are good.
Wizbar advance also allow program closure
Hello,
Another program I use a lot is Wizbar advance currently at v. 1.3.2.2 from Lakeridge software (it's freeware).
It's also skinnable, shows battery/ memory in top bar etc.
If you do choose to use it though, watch out for it hiding your notifications eg. sms etc. - it only shows a static notification icon. I would recommend PocketZenPhone running along side it. (Also freeware, available in these forums). PZP allows profiles like the nokia phones for meeting, silent, pager etc., but also allows huge customisation of the phone within these profiles - including changing the way the leds flash when there is a sms or message waiting!
PS - There should be a wizbar advance for phone edition PPC soon, and they are currently beta testing wizbar advance version 2, so hopefully some of the issues will be cleared up.

I would like to see a today plugin that features quick contacts (Kind of like the HTC home plugin).
The features I would like to see are:
* Today plugin
* Either use photo or set text for each contact.
* Opens contact in default contacts app, doesn't just dial (ie so you can choose to send an SMS)
* Vertical or horizontal list scrolled by gesture. Vertical or horizontal option would be nice, but vertical scroll probably more important - a lot of cube apps (eg ultimatelaunch) are controlled by horizontal gesture, if we could have this contacts app controlled with vertical gesture it would not interfere.
Please note that I mean a gesture controlled list WITHIN the today screen window, not as a seperate full screen app - plenty of things already do this.
* No add contact interface would be required, adding contacts to be included in dialer into a regular outlook category would be perfectly acceptable. Showing photo if contact has one or name if not would also be perfectly acceptable rather than an interface to select that.
V2R Photo Dialer 2 is almost exactly what I want but is controlled by horizontal gesture only. I tried to contact V2R to request this change but I received no response.
[Edit: Thinking about it, it doesn't need to be a favorites dialler, it could just have tickboxes for each category - if you want to use it as a favorite contacts launcher, just set it to the "favorites" category only, or you could leave all categories on to show the whole contacts list]
I'm using Face Contact which has all you've asking for, except horizontal but if you use Ultimate Launch then you can exclude the plugin from the gestures of Ultimate Launch.
http://www.cnetx.com/products/contact/
Nice app - I prefer it to the V2R one. I have emailed the author asking for the option of vertical gesture to scroll the list. I don't care if the list spins horizontally as it is, as long as I can spin it with a vertical gesture so it don't interfere with ultimatelaunch.

You can do horizontal scrolling photodial with my app, throttlelauncher.... It's free, so if you want to, try it . You can install it from http://www.throttlelauncher.com. After making the full instalation (use the exe setup or install both cabs) here you have a little setup cab for a theme showing only a contact row (if you're interested, you can have much more showing app's and other stuff in multiple pages). So to sum up:
- Go to http://www.throttlelauncher.com/
- Ensure you install everything on the same media (SD or device)
- Install both cab or use the desktop instalation in full mode.
- Install the cab attached to this thread.
- Enable throttletoday today plugin (it might take a little bit to load)
- Add as much contacts as you wish to the row .
Feel free to post any comments, requests or constructive critics . You can customize an xml to make the photos biger, order them in multiple rows, remove the ad delete icons, etc. Hope it matches what you're looking for....
Thanks for that, but the ThrottleLaunch PhotoDialer only allows scrolling of contacts via a horizontal gesture. I need to control it with a *vertical* (up/down) gesture. Also, ThrottleToday will not show inside ultimatelaunch - it will show if I put it on the main Today screen, but trying to add it as a today plugin in ultimatelaunch does nothing.
I did get an encouraging response from the makers of Face Contact yesterday though:
Hello,
thanks for your feedback.
At first thought, the idea of using a vertical gesture and having the list scroll horizontally appears a little bit disturbing, but we think we understand the rationale behind your suggestion.
We will indeed play around with UltimateLaunch to see if you can find out an option that is both intuitive and that allows Face Contact to be usable within their interface.
As it is now a possible solution is to exclude our plugin from being affected by Ultimate Launch gestures, so that when our plugin is active (and only in this circumstance) the left-right gestures will actually scroll the contact list instead than spinning the cube. Then, as soon as you apply the left/right gestures outside of our plugin, the cube will take control.
When developing Face Contact we left the door open to the possibility of having a vertical layout of the contact list, though, of course, this doesn't fit well with the current Today screen organization, which assumes all plugins are placed horizontally. In other words, it wouldn't be that difficult for us to layout the whole list vertically instead than horizontally,
So, we will definitely keep your comment in mind, as it is possible that within a different context (such as Ultimate Launch), we could actually provide both a vertical layout and vertical gesture, which would indeed make quite a lot of sense.
At this stage, having just released Face Contact a couple of days ago, we are currently gathering feedback to see how to move on with further releases and updates.
So, your feedback is very welcome: thanks again.
Best regards,
The CNetX Support Team

I downloaded Face Contact last night, and so far I am liking it. The reason I went with Face over VR2 is the space issue. VR2 looked to take a lot of space up in the Today screen, and being on a 240x240, space is a big issue. Face seemed to take a minimum of memory and leave room on my screen. I have it in a Shell tab with the native Palm picture dialer. The only option I could think of adding is the ability to dial automatically when the picture is pressed. I know that can lead to a lot of mis-dialings, but maybe a setting like normal usage until the pic is pressed for a second or so, and then the chosen primary number is dialed. If that makes sense great, if not, please let me know and I will try to explain better!!
Here is a screen shot of where I have Face on my Today screen:
im using face contact. it does everything you are asking for. im also using ultimatelaunch, the two make beautiful music together. especially if you choose the "disable gesture" feature when you enable it in ul. ive played with this quite a bit, and it is very intuitive how smooth everything STILL works. especially for these to be a first version for both apps. experiment with it. the result is perfect
Lots of nice feedback here: thanks guys.

I'm not sure if this is referred to Face Contact, or to other software you are using. If you are actually talking about FC, then please note that you can easily reassign the TAP and TAP & HOLD actions to trigger different commands, including CALLING the selected contact. Just check the "Action Settings" screen and you'll find the options there.
Also note that when Face Contact is the active plugin you should be able to CALL the selected contact by simply pressing the START CALL key of your phone. This is usually easier and less error-prone than having to tap or tap and hold. And, if you call by using the START CALL key, you can use the tap and tap&hold actions for other things, such as displaying the shortcut menu, or accessing the Face Contact Manager.
PS: we have included quite an extensive help file, with lots of tips and tricks and information on things like this. Maybe you may want to give it a quick look.
I guess I missed the tap+hold part, that is exactly what I was getting at!!! I guess this app has just about it all for me then, I will keep testing like crazy, but so far I am very pleased with it!!!
i'm using throttle now, but the pics look like garbage. I'm seriously OCD about the dumbest stuff, so I'm still looking for an answer. I just want face contact to have a transparent background, and I'd buy it.

Hi evilc!
Sorry for the delay on the answer. Vertical scroll on throttlelauncher is planned for a further release (probably 1.0), it's still alpha so many things are missing but I thought It will mach what you where looking for... Any way, I've install UL and find out why the plugin is not showing... seem's that UL doesn't work exactly like the today screen when hosting today plugins (probably to save some memory) so the today plugin exe is not launching. To sum up, to make throttletoday plugin show inside UL the only thing needed is running manually the ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe located on the throttlelauncher instalation path. At least that worked for me. Also as you've said the horizontal scrolling will interfer with the tab change gesture so disabling os setting a time out it is needed by now....

Hi shed!
If contact photos don't look good you can try playing with the config.xml file to change the contact photo width an height values (I recommend to keep the 3/4 ratio if you use standar photo dial photos). The config.xml file will be inside the PhotoDialer1Row (or 2Row if you use this one) on your setups folder on your throttlelauncher instalation path. All you need to do is search for the allcontactswithphoto tag and play with it's height and width attribute.
Gabibbo:
I saw your post and had already replied. I'm just waiting for the version to show up.
APBilbo:
I have thinkered with that setting, the problem is in just how throttle scales the images. I don't recall the terms, but the scaled images are distorted.
@evilc .... I too use face contacts in a UL panel. When you use the disable gesture feature, It only disables the gestures from being passed to UL in the active plugin area. You can still spin the cube via gesture in an inactive area of the panel. Or if combined with something else, an area that does not otherwise respond to a gesture. Try it out.... In my case I have found that though it is a great idea, the vertical gesturing is not necessary for a fully functional solution.

Yeah, I realised that a while ago, it is OK if you have something else in the UL tab without gestures disabled, so that you can gesture left in that area to spin the cube.
I think overall, the interface I would like would be gesture left/right between the faces, then up/down to scroll info on each face. I think for this interface, a vertical list would be more suitable than horizontal scrolling icons, it would just work better visually.
I really like the music browser in conduits pocket player - I would kill for one of those in a UL face along with a contacts list done in a similar manner on another face, thumbcal (with scroll month by vertical gesture) on another face... That would be nirvana for me.
hi, i'm using the standard windows today screen, i guess i'm old-fashioned but kind a got used to it. the problem with the HD is, it will only view one appointment at a time, even though i have multiple appointments on that day.
any suggestions..
For a much more powerful calender today-plugin you can try TodayAgenda (freeware) or SBSH PocketBreeze (shareware) or SPB Diary (shareware)...
which do u recommend. do they support the WVGA screen on THD
TodayAgenda runs without problem on HD res
D'rath
I have invested in Spb Mobile Shell, Diary and Phone Suite.
Switching to this through SecondToday, I now have a REALLY powerful and flexible PDA.
I can see ALL my diary appointments for the next month and all birthdays for the next year. I use Gyrator to place the PDA in "lock" mode whenever the stylus is inserted, and this then also activates the "Spb Today" function, showing a really useful Today screen. When the stylus in withdrawn, the PDA unlocks itself, and a single button press takes me back to the TouchFlo Today screen.
Through Phone Suite - which I only use to configure the ring volume - I can set a better selection of ring volume, ring type (ie vibrate, ring, mute, level) and can even program different ring levels for different times of the day (eg if I am at work) or if I have a calendar appointment.
I hated the TouchFlo display at first, but now coupled with Spb (which I have to say is first-rate), I now really love this PDA.
TodayAgenda, SPB Diary
Tried installing both on my TouchHD, installation successful, but nowhere to be seen under PROGRAM? Any suggestions?
I am not sure, but dont you have to activate them under the option today (due to tha fact that both are today plugins)? I also think you have to use secondToday to use these programs.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Greetings
Ascenca
Thanks for your response. I checked under TODAY and found TODAY AGENDA. Ticked it, but didn't see it anywhere else. Checked TODAY again, and found that it was unticked. Only Touchflo3D was ticked. When Touchflo3D was disabled, only then TODAY AGENDA appeared on the TODAY screen. Is that how it should worked? And if you don't mind what is Second Today?

I can only speak for Spb Diary here, but it does need Spb Mobile Shell in order to work. Mobile Shell can easily be switched to by using SecondToday.

SecondToday allows you to have in addition to the TouchFlo a second today screen assigned to one of the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen (above the hard buttons).
I use this with SBSH PocketBreeze - excellent app. I have also in the past used SPB Diary which also is very good.
Using secontdtoday I am now able to view my whole diary (and access all the other SBSH features) and swop back to TF3D.
TouchFlo (TF3D) will not allow you to have other today screen plugins (I think). Hence the need for Secondtoday. Search the forum for secondtoday. It also is in my recent post 30 minutes ago in the working applications thread.

Hmm, it's working fine for me. I don't use the quick dial icons but I just tried it and I have no problem. Just added the quick dial I wanted to the program shortcut-list and pressed OK.
When do the options menu close -when you choose a person for quick dial or sometimes else?
I would just use the spb panel and edit one of the menu icons there to be your 'most used' programs

I just want to make sure that you realise that it takes a few moments for the Sony Ericsson screen to update after you make a change. If you've hard reset before the panel has updated, you will have over ridden the changes you tried to make.
I've added a couple of programmes and three speed dials to the Sony Ericsson panel to test it out, and it works fine.
This is the panel with the smaller calendar and clock, not the panel with the larger calendar and clock.
I cannot seem to get more than five shortcuts to show on the screen, however. Not sure what's up w/that because there is clearly room for 10.
^^^ Two SE panels are just identical, they show a big clock only when there's not much on the screen.

Just be sure you have FREE blocks when adding new items!

You have to set up the rows you want the shortcuts to use too.
If you set 2 rows, there are 10 shortcuts.
PS. As mentioned before, the two SE panels are the same.
I use these to get all the things you want:
- Pocket Digital Clock
- (SPB Weather)
- SPB Phone Suite
- Pocket Breeze (really good)
| - SPB Pocket Plus : as a slide away tab in Pocket Breeze
| | - Some other today plugins as tabs in Pocket Plus.
| | - Favorite programs as tabs in Pocket Plus.
Try them out (Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze), they all have trials.
Oh, and I can NOT recommend SPB Diary, it is much slower than PocketBreeze.
soudns you like a mix of several things, so you could make your own in WAD or search through dev&hacking for some of the many options there are.
There's some absolute corkers around..

sounds exactly like the probem im having. You just press the + in set speed dial thing and it just closes up and shows the error report thing.

When I first acquired my X1 I faced a similar dilemma. I tried various panels eg SBP and TF3D and got them set up to do what I wanted, but none had all the features I required. My main requirements were...
Had to be finger friendly
Speed Dials readily accessible
Favourite programs readily accessible
Toggle bluetooth on and off quickly
Show upcoming appointments
While browsing through these threads, I stumbled across mention of the iFonz interface. Its a copy of the iPhone. Check it out. I think you'll like it.

i think u find u can download it NOW. i already have.
there are a few neat changes. at the moment i cant connect to the facebook using the widget over data, it seems to only work over wifi.
there is a 3d sms & email app but its in the options menu and does nit work if u press on the standard sms widget (takes u to normal wm sms/email screen). and dont see an option to change this but as its just been released they may bring out a update build with the bugs fixed and maybe the option added.
u can choose to have 1,3 or 5 screens in lifestyle and professional mode, u can also choose to only have pro or lifestyle.
there is a reflections on the carousal mode and it moves by the movement sensor but both of these wont work on the x1 as gpu acceleration is disabled by the shell on x1 and it does not have the accelerometer to move the carousel.

It is possible to get to the 3D viewed Mails and texts through those widgets. If you create a new widget "Text" or "Mail" stay with your finger on it till the soft vibration. Now you can select "Standard action" (may be different in english version) and then select 3D View. Does that work for you?
I like it. Not so much I can use, but still much better.
They updated weather widget.
Carousel is much faster...but I wld lyk the new carousel :.(
And widgets look different (I actually like the old connection widget better)...
all in all good, but still things I would like to see. What is nice as well is...you have a widget called "Picture/Photo frame". That makes your layout even better!

If you use the single wdigets (not the 3in1 thingy you know from earlier versions) you can change the standard action. just select "edit layout" (i'm not 100% sure about the terminology used to name the icons since i'm on the german version) in the bottom right menu and click and hold the widgets. a special "widget menu" will show up, that has a "standard action"-button to change whether you want to use the 3D version rather than just open the messaging app.
its possible to get 3D message on the way in the post above, but its not user friendly. For example there is no NEW massage option, im using classic view,until they fix it... but,this shell is best that i have use...
Best WM Shell so far...
There are a few thinks I would like to suggest:
- New widget download service
- RSS support (widget or something)
- 3D messaging support with full HTML included
- Facebook, Twitter news (like sms or e-mail icons)...
Is it just on my phone or is the 3D message flipping very slow?
Not very..but you know, not fluid. It annoys me. Use the standard action until it's faster.
