today items tuck up under start bar - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I recently started having an issue with Today screen items tucking up under the Start bar on the top of the screen. What I have on my Today screen is Spb Time and Spb Pocket Plus (in that order). I do not see any options in those apps that would cause this. If I add something like Date to the top of the order, it too appears tucked up under the Start bar making it completely covered. Is there something in the registry that controls where the 'top' of the Today screen is?
Thanks!
POSSIBLY RESOLVED
see below

Oh well. Seems it might be related to nueNoBar-103-v1.3. I uninstalled it and now I do not have the same behavior.

What software is this?

Guys,
Can anyone let me know what software is displaying these indicators for battery, memory etc?
It dont look like SPB to me - as I am using it - but none of the themes have this - moreover the setup icon on the left is different.
thanks/Dev
Some ipaqs come with an today plugin like that and I know there is a full version that can be purchased. I'm afraid I don't remember the name of it.
I think it's SPB Pocket Plus, i'm almost sure.
rhinocode today panel 1.33
hi,
it is rhinocode today panel, I have installed this on my Jam. However the icon that allows u to adjust the brightness appears but does not have the bar at the bottom which allows u to adjust the brightness.
thx

Moving Time to menu bar?

does anyone know how i can move my the time to the menu bar on the Today Screen? My the time is currently to the right of the date making the display use up 2 lines instead of one. The time is shown on the menu bar when i'm running other programs though just not on the today screen.

This is what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
It is a today plug-in that puts the time in the menubar. You can optionally have a very compact date/time on your today screen as well.
Best of all is the price: FREE!
thanks

Small 'Today' Problem

on the htc4350/herald you usually have 4 small icons which leads to the Battery, the thing that flips the screen, another icon thet leads to the comm manager and the 4th one for the backlight and that stuff.
now what happened to me is that the first 2 icons dissappeared but if i tap on the wallpaper exactly where the icons used to be, they still work.....how can i get those 2 icons back? (the battery icon and the flip screen icon)
thanks
I'm not sure if you've fixed this problem since the post is so old, but if it does happen to you do this:
1. In TODAY SCREEN ITEMS, Edit the HTC Plugin Icons to NOT APPEAR on the Home Screen. Exit the TODAY SCREEN ITEMS and reset your device.
2. Go back to TODAY SCREEN ITEMS and put the HTC Plugin Icons back. This should now enable all four of those icons to appear on your screen. Doing this and moving them up and down will enable it to re-apper!

Anyone with programing skills willing to help?

Hey all,
I recently bought my first PPC ever, the HTC Touch. Not very much later I discovered rlToday and designed a skin in Photoshop. Pi3cH coded it and I tweaked it some more. Besides rlToday I use S2U2, TodayShrink and PCM Keyboard.
The result can be viewed here...
For those who don't understand Dutch. Underneath the appointment is the task section (Total, Important, Today, Overdue)
Now I have some problems I can't resolve in rlToday. I saw Grump on this forum for example that made an app for the iPhone skin and I was wondering if some guys are willing to get this done for me as apps can do more than rlToday.
What am I missing and can't I get done with rlToday:
1) topbar should be something like iPhone or S2US style
No start logo but still its functionality when tapping the icon on the left, smaller than WM6 topbar and nicer icons for Wifi, BlueTooth and stuff.
2) Now I'm using Mortscript to get the appointment coming inside the screen, but I only get the first upcoming one. And if that appointment is now, the next one coming is shown underneath it.
I would rather always see the next y (2, maybe 3, or for the today and tomorrow for example) upcoming appointments along with the location (if available), rather than the 1st upcoming or current and next.
3) Get rid of the circle on the bottom 3 icons when the number of missed calls/new sms/new email is 0.
4) get a highlight effect when tapping one of the 3 bottom icons, just like TouchFlo Cube for example (see pic 6 at my rlToday skin of the Cube 6 app side I changed, it turns blue when tapped).
Just wondering if this is in any way possible, without having a slow and without battery/memory consuming.
No one that can help me out?
You might be able to accomplish this solely with Wisbar Advanced, Wisbar Advanced Desktop (WAD) and a today plug-in.
1) Wisbar Advanced can definately make the top bar look like an iphone. As an alternative you can just run WAD in full screen mode to get the same effect. You won't have the iphone top bar running all the time but just in this screen. But as a trade off it'll be one less program running in the background. Along with the visual customization, Wisbar does have a decent start menu.
2) Doesn't the built-in calendar show the next couple appointments? If not, then there might be some pre-existing today plug-ins that can fulfill this. You gotta do some searching in Google or on this board for that. Worst case scenario, asking someone to program you a today plug-in is a lot easier and quicker than doing a full GUI.
3) WAD already does this and you can see some of their iphone themes already have that. What they do is draw a background circle without any text. And then the top text is drawn using a command like %Unread:SMS%. There is commands to do this for missed phone calls and any other e-mail account you have setup in the device.
4) WAD allows you to have two button states. Normal and pressed. You just need to create two different images for each. I've also came across a thread here in XDA where Speechman created a couple WAD screens where the button would move a little bit. And then use Mortscript to tie it together where it'll make it look like the button (or perhaps the phone) vibrates when you press a button. Here is that post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1809601&postcount=9
5) To address your speed and memory concerns...I don't think WAD is that bad. It uses about 700-800KB of RAM. No noticeable speed down. If you or someone else builds a custom GUI it will most likely take up even more resources. But atleast this way you can get what you want with $20 worth of software and you have the option of customizing it any way you like in the future.

Thx, I've tried WA2 once, but I cannot change it the way I want it, way too much stuff you need to adjust to get it how you want it. I just want to get rid of the start logo and icon, and some nicer icons for signal, battery, wifi and stuff... the iPhone skin I downloaded was grey instead of the black I want and it changed some more icons and stuff I didn't like.
I've posted a request on WA2 forum for a WA2 skin with my wishes but no one ever replied.

Calendar+ is a plugin that works perfect for me, unfortunately I want to use it in the middle of my screen. That becomes a problem because both top and bottom part are rlToday skinned and you cannot run 2 rlToday plugins at one screen.

My rlToday skin places a circle, together with Mortscripts it gets the missed calls and stuff on my screen, only problem is when it's zero I cannot make the skin hide the circle image...

Will take a look at that.
Well with WA3 (it lets you have more control over the top bar icons) you just have to find a theme that's similar and tweak it. At that point it'll be just replacing graphics and modifying text files for placement. WAD is much easier to work with and you are just starting with a black background, add the bottom gradient, and setting the placement of 3 today plug-ins.

Look at Phone Alarm. This is probably what you will need to replace the bottom rlToday. Phone Alarm has a lot of skins available and you might find a minimalistic one that can get you close. This might also solve the no bubble when zero problem.
So in WAD you'd do...
Top = rlToday
Middle = Calendar+
Bottom = Phone Alarm

Hope that helps. I'm all out of ideas otherwise

I don't have WA3 so I can't try that...
PhoneAlarm won't do it for me I think. To many stuff that I don't want in that plugin (I see a load of icons, clock etc...).
Don't have WAD either, so can't try the bottom part in WAD neither.

can i get rid of the top today separator line?

hi to all,
this is another annoying thing i have been trying to get rid of for a few months now.
it is regarding the grey horizontal line which sits right under the top bar.
to be more precise: i am not referring to today-plugin seperator lines in common, i mean just the top one, which seperates the top bar (containing the radio icons, etc and the start menu) from the first today plugin.
here are my findings so far:
- as it is somehow related directly to the os, you cannot make it transparent
- the reg-key hklm\software\microsoft\today\items\htchome\lock position = no does not solve the problem
- setting hklm\software\microsoft\color\6 (today screen horizontal bars) to the same color as the background does also not work as it only affects the other plugin seperator lines
is there any news to this topic? maybe there are more possibilities to tweak when you have 6.1 device?
many thanks
I have the same question.
i used to use vjtoggletoday to make the top bar smaller. the default size is 26 i believe. Set it to 24 and that should hide the seperator but keep the rest of the top bar visible.
it's not the exact fix you're looking for but it pretty much get's you the same look.
i have been using vjtoggletoday as well for hiding the buttom-bar and the top-bar separator line. but from time to time the buttom-bar and the top-bar were re-appearing - so i was hoping to find a more stable solution. i am using now dcinobar which only hides the buttom bar
did you ever find a resolution? I found this site...have not tried, but you may want to take a look. (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/PPCColorConfig.aspx)
