I know it might be asked a bit much, but...
...on the one hand I like the Touch 3D, but what I really hate is that is blocks all of my today screen. Where do I put phoneAlarm for example? This application is just essential!
Would it be possible to extract the single parts of the Touch 3D application (e. g. contacts, email, program launcher, etc.) and convert these into separate panels for the X1?
Alternatively, would it be possible to get rid of the home screen of Touch 3D, only leaving the slide bar and the other screens? That way we could use the today plug-ins we like and keep the slide bar on the bottom to easily access weather, contacts, etc.
I am not a programmer and have no clue about how much or little effort that would be or if it is possible at all.
Here in that section you can find how to transform the entire Touch 3D HD into a single panel...check the main posts!

Thanks you two for your reply.
I already read through the posts and tried Touch 3D as Panel and as application only.
Having it run as a panel is just not convenient as most of the time I tend to use my windows today screen anyhow.
And to run it as an applications kills of my own today screen.
Actually all I want is:
Resize the home screen of Touch 3D so that at least one other application fits on the today screen?
(Ideally remove everything from the home screen of Touch 3D apart from the slide bar)
I use a program called secondtoday to switch between touchflo and other plugins. It works very well. search for it to find the details
Ok, so I just have noticed quite a few differences in TF3D / Manilla on my HD. Not anything huge whatsoever, but still I have noticed and I wish they were different.
When you go to the mail tab, the envelop icon doesn't flip in all fancy like (is this a sprint addition? I have seen it on the sprint diamond).
Also in the mail tab in the version of manilla from xda I had on my vogue a month or so back, it would show a counter of which message you were currently viewing. IE 15/50, 14/50 etc...my HD does not.
When you scroll through messages in the mail tab, they don't slide up or down like they do on the diamond/pro, they just kind of jump/flutter and there is the next one.
When you go to programs or settings tab, the items don't softly appear with that nice touch as they do on the sprint diamond/pro. Just bang there they are.
I have also noticed that when you power on the screen, the backlight doesn't come on all soft and smooth like it does on the sprint diamond/pro.
None of these of course are big things and I'm getting nit-picky here, but still definitely nice polishing touches that I would like to enjoy on my fancy HD
It is posible to make multiple appoitmets on home page of Touchflo (like HD). Im sure that all diamond lovers wish thet.
All the best!
I it possible to repeat the same question again, again and again...instead of use the search button (wich one in the top-right of ANY page) and find by yourself the answer to your quetion?
I have seen it is asked a lot, but it i s the first time I see manilla of HD hás this option !
Is it ported to diamond already? I know there are HDmanila's around...
Anyone shine a light? We can overwrite manila files I guess.
Screen
What you cannot overwrite is the size of the screen !
The HD is much bigger than the Diamond hence more space on screen hence more place to put calendar items

your image in post #1 is just a photoshop montage! the dimaond TouchFlo would have enough space for 4 appointments. but it's still just an idea!
Is it possible adding a new option item (Vibrating the device when tapping the tabs of TouchFlo, Youtube and Opera) to this current setting page like RED marking option. I think this future is added on Touch HD with a new version of TouchFlo Settings. On my Touch Diamond I have Version 3.0.
Try TouchResponse from here. Although it won't specifically be for that, it'll work all around your diamond and you can adjust the length of the vibration.
Wow thats pretty tight.
This Touch HD TF3D is soooooooo much better than the other devices, stocks etc;
I wish they would just make it all the same for every TF3D user.
@shun4rm323;
Thanks for your suggestion. Also I used TouchResponse. But it vibrate at all touch. It is Battery life time monster . May be not. I dont have test it so fast. But it give me so a feeling.. But that is a nice useful application. With this new option vibration occur only on specific applications like TouchFlo, Youtube and Opera.

I see you.. I think in a near time we will see customized or official TouchFl3D for all touch based HTC devices with new versions. I like stock tab and customize tab option in Settings
I think nobody have an idea like Me
Is this a big request
That specific tab/opera vibrating works on some roms with the new TF3D2 from Xboxmod (the first version V1C seemed to have it, but the V1D does not implement it, or at least I have not been able to do it again)
To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?
I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.
It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.
I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.
Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...
i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?
The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.
glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons
All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.
I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.
I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).
I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hart and soul of my machine.

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.
I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.
