I need some inspiration.
Heres mine
nice looking today screen there. might be an idea to list the today plugins that your using for any users that might be unsure what they are! will post pics of mine once i have it looking how i want :wink:
Tom
This is my home screen.
I'm running:-
1. PhoneAlarm at the top
2. Plugin of my own showing date, battery life, temperature, notes and voice notes saved/outstanding and operator (with phone number popup)
3. Customised AlarmToday
4. NotesToday (the tiny blue dot, when shrunk, and then in drop down mode).
5. My modded version of QOTD.
6. cLaunch with some mods of my own.
7. SideX to run today plugins I don't need all the time, eg PocketWeather.
8. All running with SmallMenu Plus as my start menu.
Update (15 August 2005):
This is using a program I've written to provide a bigger Today Screen, removing the menu bar at the bottom. I use the bar at the top, so that stays put!)
Basic homescreen:
Showing NotesToday drop down:
Showing SideX today item (Floating keyboard):
Basic homepage showing my phone number popup - I use a dual sim so I can pop up my current telephone number (cus I'm too lazy to remember it!):
SmallMenu start menu button:
Showing my tool to relocate start button so I can have full screen applications:
Sorry for all the photos!

Phone Alarm + Pocket Plus 3 + Pocket Breeze
Here's mine..
Marsware WeatherPanel
SBSH PocketBreeze
SBSH iLauncher
RhinoStats
that's mine
Mine is just simple:
From top to bottom:
Spb Pocket Plus
PocketWeather
Phone Dashboard
XCPUScalar (The buttons at bottom and CPU load at top)
Pocket breeze / contact breeze
DK Today
SPB Pocket Plus
This is mine! Very simple, cause I don't want a crowded today screen. I have Pocket Plus 3 and Wisbar Advance 2.4 installed with a custom made Windows Mobile 5.0 theme. I can use it pretty much as a one handed device now, cause I have the cascading start menu onder the contacts hardware button and the REAL close button under the agenda hardware button. So I can navigate and close everything on my MDA by using the hardware buttons and the navigationkey. (Btw if you hold the action button the context menu will pop up, for more non-touchscreen action. ) Me iz happy. :twisted:

I really really want that Phonealarm skin you have there......
dmmh - I haven't quite finished it yet; phoneAlarm still needs work on the textwindow (see the up/down arrows on the left? they blank the icons and show a textwindow containing info about SMSs etc. But Bruce (author of phonealarm) hasn't finished implementing it yet.
It still works well right now tho, shows calls/sms/voice calls (you get a red highlight when a missed call etc) and one click access to bluetooth and headset.
On the right you've got a display of profiles (I only use loud, vibrate, flight mode and silent). Clicking on the very left (invisible) will bring up config.
The whole thing is coloured to match my today theme, a plain magneto blue, to complement my OS X start button!
If you'd still like the skin, send me a PM.

OK here:
Here is mine
Shortcuts are all working and the window has tabs as you can see where you can switch to different pages.

I really like the "simple" today screens. Can you list what your using, from the top menu bar down.
Thanks
xcilion: it's beautiful, is it claunch, WDA, PPX or something else?! :lol:
Coming from the SPV Smartphone and p900 (WDA is like p900's Tracker software, which is a beautiful piece of software, highly recommended), I think the today screen should do that, show you what you're doing Today/let you use the phone at a glance on switching on the phone.
I think program menus/launchers should be programs away from the Today screen, because you've got to have Today plugins running in the background all the time, whereas launchers and apps you don't need often should be launched as needed to save resources (at least on HTC with smallish memory).
Did you remove the "NEW" taskbar yourself, or is that a 3rd party launcher? I've just made a tool to remove the NEW bar from normal today screen for an extra 26 pixels - yours looks great Size matters!

All: I've updated my screenshot to show this program I've written

Hi,
I've looked, clicked and sworn at it, but I just don't know how to get rid of the small bar at the very bottom of the today screen, just above the softkey indicators. At the moment it just has the (standard t-mobile) mini battery icon and the mini connection icon.
I've got no idea where the controller for this part of the today screen is. I'd really love to get rid of it altogether and have a few extra pixels for pocketplus. It just seems to be totally wasted screen real estate for me. I see other people have got useful stuff in this area, if there's a personalisation programme out there for it, please hit me up.
Cheers,
Chris
If you just want to remove those icons - which removes the tray as well - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40133
If you want to remove it altogether, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
And if you want to customize the tray with icons to specific apps, try "PHM TrayLaunch" - it's part of the PHM PowerToys - can probably be ripped out somehow and made stand-alone.
Sorry guys, ToggleToday is still WM2003 only right now. I'll update as soon as I get a few minutes. It's complicated to write, since the tray gets refreshed on screen rotations etc. And I'm just too busy to deal with it properly right now Soon...
V
Hey, thanks very much guys
PHM TrayLaunch looks like a very useful app, but I'm struggling to successfully add programs/icons. For example, if I want to have ActiveSync as one of the icons in the tray, does anyone know what should be entered as the "target"?
I'm afraid I don't have my phone in front of me, but trying navigating through your \windows\start menu and checking the properties for existing shortcuts.
Eg Find activesync, display properties, and it will display the target for the shortcut. That's your baby.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to display properties for a shortcut - Explorer's "tap & hold" menu only allows you to cut/copy/paste etc - there's no "properties" window like there is on normal PC-Windows.
Fork, try gsfinder or another explorer replacement.
Also try having a read through this:

Thanks Vijay, I've downloaded Resco Explorer 2005 but cannot find the ActiveSync shortcut anywhere on my device! Does anyone know what the shortcut is to start ActiveSync?
It's not obvious!
\windows\replog.exe
V
Thanks for the reply Vijay, but replog.exe doesn't exist anywhere on my device.
Sorry, missed one letter
"\windows\repllog.exe" on my Universal.
V
Thanks Vijay, bizarely repllog.exe doesn't show up in my Windows folder using Resco Explorer, but setting this as the path gives me an ActiveSync icon in the tray - so it's obviously finding it.
Unfortunately, clicking the icon doesn't launch ActiveSync. It briefly displays "Connect to" in the top title bar before disappearing, and the Today page remains onscreen all the time.
Any other suggestions you can think of?
Thanks,
Fork, it depends on what state the activesync app is in at the time. It doesn't always like to show itself in my experience as well. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes when you're disconnected it will show, sometimes when you're connected it'll show?
In resco, ensure you're displaying hidden files, system files and rom files.
V
Thanks Vijay, I hadn't spotted that option in Resco Explorer - it shows up now.
I am currently using the resco today plugin. I have some questions...
How can I keep the plugin always on top of screen. I don't want it to scroll away when scrolling down the page? Also, is there a way to maybe keep the plugin tab at the bottom of screen instead of top?

Go to Settings -> Elements -> mark the TodayPlugIn and use the 2 buttons on the right (move up/ down)
I also like the Resco plugin, and I don't think there's a way to "pin" it in position on the Today screen... It would a nice feature though!
Whether it's at the top or the bottom of your list of plugins, you may still experience the scrolling...
Thank's for helping out guys.
Can't seem to find the element setting though?

I would like to see the programs that are running down in the system tray on the today screen. You know, the place where you see your battery level and connection manager icons?
Is this possible via a registry hack that anyone knows of?

There are registry tweaks for standard items like battery, clock and so on but AFAIK not ones for all running programmes. There are tons of freeware task manager apps that place running progs in task bar and probably the tray as well. Magic Button for example - but it shows in task bar.

u dont need registry twaeks!!
use some extrernal file explorer.
go to the windows folder and find the power tray file copy paste in the startup folder
soft reset is ready.
now.. about the today screen for the try programs try the "true toolbars" is the best ftask manager!!
here thw link: http://solsie.com/true-toolbar-utility

Actually this so-called fix does not work. If you put the icon in the startup tray all it does is start the program at start up. So no, it does not put it on the tray.
Try again?
VJTrayLaunch
This is a command line application, and can be used to launch any program or shortcut.
http://vijay555.com/?Releases:VJTrayLaunch
TrayLnch
TrayLnch only 47,9kb
is good for hermes
Can't believe people would pay $13 for this.
I made VJTrayLaunch, which is fine for one or two apps, but I recommend PHM Tray Launch 110%.

Hello,
I want to put a program to the homescreen.
Can any body tell me how to do that?
I have a custom program and i can only start it from programs or the startmenu.
I want to put it on the home screen so that i can start i from there.
I hope someone can tell me that.
Regards,
Peter
You mean, as a Today Plugin?
If yes, well, that's a little more complicated A Today plugin is a DLL, so completely different than an executable: as a first general step, forget about anything else than C++.
For everything else, have a look here.
http://www.codeproject.com/ce/CTodayWindow.asp
and here
http://www.codeproject.com/ce/CTodayOptionsDialog.asp
I think you must use a launcher plugin, like orchid shortcut.

You can use cLaunch or Battery Status to put programs on the home screen.

Home screen with battery status and cLaunch. I used bs to put programs in the bottom system tray, camera, messaging, clear temp, etc. I used cLaunch to put numerous other programs on the home screen. One tap of the program icon will open that program.
I have a little question, how i can add easy shortcuts to the home screen ? I read you do it with batterystatus buth i see not that option there. Thnx for any help
Go to settings->Today screen->Items->Find BatteryStatus->click on it->you'll get "options" button on the right->click it, and find Tray icons tab on the bottom.
