Which is better ultimately? SPB or Touchflo3d for the Xperia? I am looking to get either. Also, do both function as panels?
...if it really was worth the effort posting another SPB v TouchFlo post with a title which doesn't explain the question?
Try them both, it depends on who are using it. In my case i prefer TF3D.
I heard issues with TF3D...how bad are they? I just installed .net CF 3.5. It will now apply to every application right? There is no need to set it so that the rest uses it? Anyway, I tried searching for SPB but I did not get any results...

I do. It a great program without many useful feature. Why don't U try the trial and find it out yrself?
just wanted some quick thoughts before i install it
gonna try it now, thanks for the reply!
Short summary:
It's great software, it does great stuff, it's useful for closing apps etc, watch out for the Today plugin showing free space on SD cards (there are issues), it can be resource hungry, but it's a useful package generally.

The guys on the forum recommended it to me.. yes! get it!! I started with version 2.5 and am now running 3 happily!
It's one of the inest programs for the PPC and worth every penny.
thank you everyone for your comments! i tried out the trial and find it great.. im buying it right now along with the full keyboard

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.
The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.
Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.
Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.
Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.
- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.
I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*
all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.
as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore
Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?
can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.
any developement in this taskbar?
is there any cool themes for wm5, (soon upgrading to wm6 once i get my memory card) for now is there any theme so I can use my fingers instead of a stylus I dont use the stylus anyway, because i have skinney fingers but it just fell and got lost, dont have enough money to buy a stylus lol. so do yall recommend any themes? and instructions on how to flash them.
Yes...
There is no actually the theme that will help you but another application that gives total makeover to your WM device and the way how you operate it.
google POINTUI application and install it ... you will see the advantage very quickly
thanks bro much better but they should have custom themes it be cool
for the iphone theme i recommend ifonz. google ifonz i think its compitable with wm5.
Here is the original thread...

I have tried many iphone lookalike skins but none really work very well. Ifonez is probably the best one out there but you need to pay for it. I would recomend you try touchflo and install HTC today plugin i believe version 1 works with WM5 version 2.1 is only compaible with WM6.1.

Hi umexed!
I am trying to decide which one to install - gyrator OR mobilemagic, unfortunately I really don't have the time to read tens of pages of posts just for this
Since you seem to be familiar with both (and gsen on top! ) can you please describe the reason(s) you prefer mobilemagic? Thank you so much!
Cheers!
Dan
PS: I also checked the programs from your signature and I saw a really nice set of WM icons for bluetooth, wifi and the rest - do you mind sharing the source with us? Thanks again!
MobileMagic also supports button mapping (and other sensors).
Works very well.

this method does not seem to work on my Imagio, if anyone else has another way to run both tf3d and ms3.5 at the same time, please post your method and in the mean time i am trying figure out a good way myself.
*dont know why the link isnt working but its in the development and hacking area of the forums
Why would you wanna run both at the same time anyway? They serve same purpose but has only different useability and UI. And running both of them would probably eat alot of RAM too..
tf3d has gps based weather and spb has customizable widgets, i dont need to run both at the same time but i would like the main today screen to be tf3 and be able to switch to mobile shell at the touch of a button.

i agree... this would be sweet. i love some of the tf3d interface but it is boring. gray backgrounds and unable to chnge them?

I couldn't add MS 3.5. The information on TF3D Detacher and the X1 panels are all over this forum, a quick search should pull up everything you need. I don't have any screen shots at the moment, mainly because I just did a hard reset and am running straight MS 3.5 (I'm OCD and will keep hard resetting until I get exactly what I want).
