Is it possible to use existing apps/programs as today screen plugins. For example, I am currently using Throttlelauncher and want to use S2V as my photo browser but rather than having it launch into the program fullscreen, I would like it to run "above" throttle's bottom launcher bar like the other pages. I guess this could also be accomplished by changing the size of the window that it runs it? I know slim to none about coding so the easier the fix the better if it is possible. Or does anyone know of a nice photo browser plugin (I'm trying to keep with the diamond-style theme if possible), has anyone tried to use the "flash" style contacts type template and gear it towards viewing pictures?(I think thats somewhat similar to the diamonds photo browser from the youtube video I saw)
Thanks,

Have done a semi-extensive search to find a plug-in which allows you to place application shortcuts on the lower toolbar of the Today screen (not on the Desktop). True Toolbar is a step in the right direction, however, this does only show the running programs. Any other ideas? Thanks.
Dear,
I know a nice program called cLaunch for launching applications directly from shortcuts on Today Screen. there are many versions to it. Here is one of them www.freewareppc.com/utilities/claunch.shtml . Above all, it's freeware
Hope this is what you're looking for
Thanks, Ken_xda, but that's not what I'm looking for. As mentioned in my post, I'd like to have the shortcuts placed in the TOOLBAR on the bottom of the screen (not on the Today Desktop). The same way you can place the Quick Lunch icons in your lower toolbar in MS Windows.

maybe this one it sounds like it's in the buttom but the picture looks a bit odd
I should have mentioned it, sorry. I tried FastAccess. The idea is quite good. It adds a little toolbar to the bottom of the screen which toggles between showing/hiding icons of any programs you choose. But the execution is rather poorly done. It disabled the close/minimize button on certain applications and some design elements such as the size of the check box doesn't integrate that nicely into the existing user interface.
Try TrayLaunch from PHM....Works great and it's free!

One of my all time favourate programs is traylaunch, a utility that puts shortcuts to programs in the bottom bar. It works well with the Athena, but the icons are taken from the programs themselves, not VGA, and therefor look, let's say, less than desirable.
Does anybody have an alternative for this very useful (free) utility?

You might look at BatteryStatus (full version), which includes a tray launch feature.

you might try Ilauncher , or if the program you have just needs bigger icon files... try some of the end user's icons contributed at SBSH's Forums
I agree that iLauncher is a far better way to go because you can fill not just the whole screen with nice looking right sized icons but can have multiple pages of them too. However, I'm having some problem dealing with custom made icons in real vga mode at the moment that I still hope to resolve soon. See my posts under posting your today screen and real vga threads.
Does anyone know of (or can quickly write) a Today plugin that will show a picture of my choosing? The reason is that I want a picture on my today screen, but I don't want it to be my background. I suppose I could always edit my background so that the picture is embedded in the background, but that's not convenient.
rlToday allows that
Today plug in picture
Try one of the best Today Screen apps around Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2.0 (Still in Beta). The program is absolutely fantastic. It is by Chris at lakeridgesoftware.com.

Within WAD you can make a "dock" that is your picture..if this is what you're looking for.
Is it possible get that more those standard today screen as panel?
Cos I would like to have FEWidgets & iFronz etc. as panels and still have that normal today screen.
Any ideas?
That is a nice idea...!
2 today screens
The closest iv seen to solving this is to use a program called mtoday, see thread - Best Apps for the x1.
You can create 2 today screens with different plugins, run program, set profile 1 and save, then create shortcut, do the same for profile 2. In the programs menu you then find links to launch your 2 today screens. I have pocket plus 4 and touch 3d. Why use panel spaces switching this way is easier and faster.
Posted from my X1
Hi,
I think axjiii is searching a programme or a option to create a panel for a specific programme, for expamle a panel which launches iFonz or other programmes. I was also looking for such an programme with which I could create several panels for i.e. skype, TV, iFonz, etc.
BTW, is iFonz working on the X1? As I'm still waiting for my X1 I couldn't test it yet.
Well, maybe the TF3D panel launcher could be tweaked to launch FEWidgets and iFonz.
No iFonz panel as at yet, right?

Maybe you should try downloading the SDK panel editing package from Sony and dissect the "TF3D as a panel" cab: it just "runs" TF3D
There's also a "youtube" panel but it makes the same simple thing: when pressed, it runs the youtube app and turns "today" screen to blank
You could try to build a panel that runs your desired app
I'd also love such a feature. I have got the panels installed already (not using them though) and to me they very much seem to be something like multiple today screens. It would be nice to just keep the existing panels and the normal today screen and to be able to define another panel (or many more) for which you can define a different today screen with different plugins etc.
What would be very important from my perspective is the impact on resources, both memory and CPU. It would be good not having all today plugins running at all time, even when they are not visible, because many today plugins affect performance a lot from what I experienced. Also the time when switching the home screen via the panels shouldn't take too long, so, initializing the today plugins completely whenever switching today screens/panels would take too long in my point of view. Still, today plugins which run in the background need to get specific messages, e.g. GPRS monitor for still counting the data.
What I would love to have with such a solution would be to be able to switch panels/today screens by switching profiles, i.e. switching panels via commandline.

Looks quite simple for everyone who has Microsoft Visual Studio.
Unfortunately I don’t have MSVS, but I someone create a panel that simply call some app stored in registry (or panel1 for app1, panel2 for app2 and so on), it will be great! In combination with mToday or SecondToday it will allow for anyone to have multiple Today Screens.
I’m personally prefer to have on main Today Screen SPB Dairy and SPB Phone Suite (organiser) while on second Today a lot of shortcuts to useful apps and tools (pocket pc).
Has anyone managed to tweak some coding to create an application that allows the Facebook panel to be loaded from the Programs menu opposed to using the panels....(Like Pubba's Panel Installer for MXE and Radio)
If Pubba can port to panels as applications,
And if TF3D can be run as a panel rather than a 'Today' option....
Surely it must be possible? Or does the fact it use internet and such make it a bit complicated?
Anyone?
I would try and edit the Pubba launcher panels, but I have absolutely no coding experience...
that would be nice
It would, I like the panels, the problem is you can't really multitask with them, the idea that you can change your today screen is awesome but I'd rather have Facebook as an application that can be launched rather than change my entire screen.
As I said earlier, if pubba can launch the media panels, is it possible to edit his code to launch the Facebook panel instead? I have no idea how to code or even which program was used to code this...
Surely, it can't be such a big job?
Come on, can I atleast get a decent reply?
