Toolbar: (how) can you place shortcut icons?

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!

TF3D program icons

The touch flow 3d programs tab uses the default crappy icons for the programs shortcuts, does any one know whether we can use our own slightly larger icons for these shortcuts?

Try TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab - I've installed them on the Touch HD and they work fine. Colour icons. Wish I knew who did them so I could attribute properly.
Edit: Oops. Too much haste reading your post. The above icons replace the TF3D tab icons, not those in the Programs tab.

i still hope some one has an idea as to how we can use our own icons for the programs tab, not the tab itself but the actual icons for the programs

This looks to be from the Diamond forum, does it include an icon for the Stocks tab??

It doesn't include a colour icon for the Stocks tab, so it still uses the original b/w one.
Overall, a very neat little upgrade!!

Yes, it works well sans the stock icon. I use this along with the NoTopCurtain and SemiTransparent_bottom_Bar and Pamas Transparent Slider. Provides a nicer look. Cheers.

Thanks AFW, have installed it and it looks much better than the original black.

regarding the topic of the thread, im not sure if its been discovered before but iv found a way to add your own icons in the programs.
Using resci registry editor or similur go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will notice that theres 23 folders in there
Now lets say you have atleast 1 program activated, the program details for that should be in folder "0", you will see in that folder that the path for the application is stated, you also notice that there is a string called "IconPath", put the path of the icon you want into that string and then save.
Move to a different tab (any other then programs) and then come back to the programs tab and you'l notice the icon has changed to your preference.
One slight issue is that the icons become really small, im looking into how that can be changed. Im asuming theres one of two solutions, either
1. Change the resolution of the icons
2. or set the size some how in the registry
(Im looking into it, and please post any findings you have in this thread)
Another discovery I made is that by copying one of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher and then pasting it back into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher with the next number 24 (there are only 23 folders, represeting 23 possible program links in the programs tab) and saving it, gives you another possible application link in the programs tab.
The only problem with that is when you select it and add an application it remains blank.

Hi..
I'm having some difficulties downloading this file. Is there an alternative download site or can someone kindly email it to me? Much appreciated.

Number of Rows and Columns within Program Tab

I thought, I try it again.
Maybe meanwhile sb has a solution ??
Cheers
Is there anywhere anyplace a possibility to change the number of rows and columns within the programs tab ? Up to now, it is limited to 3 columns only.
With M2DC (Manila 2D Editor), it was possible to define up to 5 columns and 9 rows.
Cheers and looking for any good idea or answer from the gang here

I spent a few hours searching the topic last night.
Short answer: Not yet.
Seems no one has found the tweak yet. Apparently you can manually add the extra registry entries but they will not store the data. Perhaps someone needs to patch the manila file that runs this option and increase the size of array that stores the information....

TFLO3D Homescreen Shortcuts

Why homescreen shortcuts aren't seen is beyond me, however I have noticed that there are two shortcuts found on the homescreen already. Call History and Calender, pressumebly all these do is reference a location on the device.
So my question is, can we make it so we can add our own shortcuts, to link to another location or possibly an application?

I would donate 25 dollars or euros for anyone who can pull this off, I almost can't live without my tasks there

If you both are talking about ammending the 2 right and left shortcuts on TF3D Home tab then you should go search around.. Its possibel to change with many apps or via registry..

I've already managed to do this with an application called TouchFlo Detacher.
I'm referring to the two shortcut links placed underneath the clock or to the right of it when in landscape mode. You can't miss them.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to add or change them.

I found a way looking in many forums, they say you need to use a famous tool called ssmaho... try to look here on xda, where it's hosted. I downloaded it but I don't understand how to use it... so far no luck in linking pocket informant to calendar and home tabs. any help would be very appreciated!

Change yes, add too, probably not
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197 for various changes
But I can't get the plugings working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102 to add Tasks

This thread is very old however I don't like to create threads for questions which have been already asked:
I use a Jackos Hybrid ROM with WM6.1 + Sense 2.1 (fastest I've ever seen), but I miss at least 2-3 shortcuts to most popular programs on my homescreen. Is there a theme or a patch which couls allow me to put non-standard shortcuts directly on my HS? Independently on the history and calendar fields.
I've tried google, but there are tons of unnecessary information but I couldn't find anything helpful. Here, on xda, I've found information about some mods (like MaxManila) but none is reported to work with WM6.1. Besides these mods are heavy, and I don't need a comprehensive application but a small patch to have 3 icons on HS.
Thanks in advance guys (and girls of course)!

Add custom tab in touchflo without changing ROM

Is there an app or a tweak I can use to add an additional tab to the touchflo UI? I would like to add another app shortcut tab where I can add shortcuts. I prefer to not change the default ROM. Is there a cab file that can do that?

not that I've seen
You could try ManilaToday
and add a plugin that allows shortcuts
Not sure which plugin but I'm guessing They'll be one
maybe by messing around with iphonetoday
the icons don't have to look like an iphone's

Yeah hunt for ManillaTodayPlugin (MTP), installed fine for me (but read carefully), although personally I like ROMs where the Start Menu is a scrollable shortcut grid
