Have you even read your manual?
Those options should be available under settings >> Today Screen.
Also do some light reading all these basic answers should be available in a short google search.

i'm very sorry.
i did go to settings >> Today Screen. but i cant add anything...
all i see is
date
vodafone calendar
vodafone sms
vodafone mms
vodafone email
do i have to hold down somewhere or click somewhere to add "active tasks"
or can i not because its vodaphone branded? i cant seem to add "owner information" either
i know this sounds stupid but i really cant seem to add it...
thanks for your help in advance

Looks like you have some heavy vodaphone customisation. The options you have are not standard and tasks is normally available to choose. You have a few choices with varying degrees of difficlulty.
Flash ROM to non vodaphone branded one (not for the novice)
Investigate which registry keys affect today screen items, and make changes (moderate difficulty)
Install a third pary application that shows tasks - (simple)
Wait for someone with a vodaphone device to come up with an alternative (suitable for the easy going!)

Go for the thrid party softwares
Even if you change the registry you will never get rid of the operator's customisations
I've got Wisbar Advance Deskstop and Wisbar Tool
there is plenty of other's, check out the SBP range, its quite good
and all are very user friendly with plenty of skin cutomisation and stuff
Try the rltoday plugin, it free and see how you go

i;ve gone and got spb pocket plus but it just aint as good as having it on the today page
maybe i'll read up and attempt to put windows 6 on it
thanks again!

spb pocket plus are for experts
that was a bold step man
but that something to work up to, try wisbar then the desktop
and there are so many deskstop theme on the forum that you can upload
I've got 3 today screen thanx to the desktop

Have you changed your today theme away from the vodaphone one to a windows standard one to see if you can then change your items?

About Omnia - Samsung Today 2 buttons..

Hi!! I'm new here!!
I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to change the default programs that our WM6 uses for rubrica, sms..and so on. I'd like for example to set Sms-Chat and Funcontact as the default SMS and rubrica softwares that I can open with the buttons of the Samsung Today 2 plug-in.
Any registry key to change? Any software that can manage this "preferences"?
Thank you in advance, hope to be able to help too here!!

Try Spb Plus, it should do what you need and there is many more that has this as a possibility, anything installed can be tagged with plug in, Also the applications you stated should had changed to default once installed. Should also be able to do it with changing anything.
Hope this help

Customizing TOUCHFLO - can anyone help me?

Hi to you all...
Just got my DIAMOND and I'm thrilled with it!
I have some doubts and would like to aks your help to see them solved.
The doubts are:
1st - As anyone figure it out how to have a AGENDA "chapter" on Touchflo that could allow one to see today events or 2 or 3 days events, as if it was a Pocket Breeze plug-in...such as we have Wheather...Photos and Videos...Contacts...Definitions....Internet...Music...etc...???
2nd - Is there a software that allow everybody to change not only the softkeys assigned programs, but as well the other buttons (the home button and the other one with the arrow)?
3rd - I've already installed a brand new rom...and it's a lot faster but comes without the huge pack of ringtones...all I wanted was BIRDS2 ringtone. Can anyone tell me if I can find this ringtone anywhere?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
1) As yet, nothing has been figured out here. Sorry...You can use programs which provide a Second Today homescreen. There are two such programs: Manila Control (which is better I think most would agree), and SecondToday. Just do a search for them.
2) I don't know. I'll let someone else answer.
3) Give it a search! Or wait for God-knows-how-long.

Has anyone got any news about this???
I would be thrilled if I got to have in my tf3d a new tab with my agenda...and if I could change the assigned progrmas for the two upper button of my diamond (the home button and the arrow button)!!!!
Anyone can help me?

here is the ringtone.

it's not possible to have a agenda tab unless someone coded it from scratch i guess
for the button, u might want to try AEButton plus

Menu titles are invisible but working

The programs coming from earlier WM versions are fully functional but the menu titles in the bottom bar do not show off.
However when you click on them , the menu appears.(See VisualGPSce for example).
I have tried to change the resolution but the problem remains.
I have not found this problem listed in the forums but I know that it is common as I have seen such programs with a blank bottom bar in some tests.
Any idea ? Thanks !

Yep I got that too. Was a bit worried at first but I think there's a registry key somewhere that can be altered. Just can't remember where!! However if I do remember i'll post it (or possibly someone else will remember before I do...)
It's not a problem as long as I can remember what menu option is where....

>Replying in english, because my school german sucks
>This is an issue with the Today screen theme 'Xperia black', not Total >Commander CE. You have the problem in all programs using standard WM >menus.
>If you try another theme, the menu text appears.

This is what I have seen on this matter in the Total Commader Forum.
I would be happy if you could remeber the tweak ...

Use Raiisak´s Flatbar Black cab when you use Xperia black theme like me and don´t forget rename xperia black theme to defaul.tsk and activate default.tsk in settings today... work fine for me... old trick from my old Hermes time

Thanks ! Just changed the Today theme to default Windows and it works :text now shows !

I just cheated with mine - did a registry edit on the Xperia Black theme!
HKCU\\Software\Microsoft\Today\XPERIA Black.tsk
changed the value in "Color_CommandbarText" to 55,55,55,00
Bit of a "fiddle" but it works fine for what I needed! I may try 77,77,77,00 and see if that's still useable
you have to reset the device as soon as you've updated the value or it doesn't appear to want to stick.....

Missing possibilty to change software buttons

Hello all,
have removed SPB shell yesterday (no support for real vga) and want to get my device running again in the former way. However, it seems to me, that I've lost the possibility to change the software buttons
Who can help ? Is there something to be done in the registry ?
My device is a 7510 with Michylight 6.1 - therefore also 7500/7501 users are welcoome to answer.
Dieter

You no longer have Settings>Personal>Buttons?
You can try using AE Button Plus: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I still have settings\personal\buttons but there is only an opportunity to assign programs to the hardware buttons. I want to do it for the software-buttons displayed onscreen.
Dieter

The SoftKeyAppletEx application is a control panel applet that allows to change the applications linked to the softkeys that you find on the today screen.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/S...trol-Panel-Applet-SoftKeyAppletEx-55572.shtml
RemapSoftkeys allows you to modify the softkey allocation on the Today screen. It only modifies registry entries, so you don't need to keep it installed after you set your new values !

KeySwop is a simple tool for you to remap the softkeys on the today screen.

hope this helps looks like the 1st one would be the best one though

Thanks so far - will test the applications.
Have to reinstall the ROM on my device, seems that ther got more corrupted during SPB de-install. Today my radio didn't work any more...
Let's see whether I get my device running again.
