Install
1.Spb Diary
2.Spb Traveler can be embed into Spb Diary Interface.
3.For stock, have a look at this. Then Create a shortcut on the Today screen.

Hi,
1. I don't Know
2. You can use SecondToday and assign a key in manila to a second today page where you can put any today plug in (Pocket breeze in my case)

I'm not sure what "pic" you're talking about, but if it's just the text of your carrier in the top right like "T-Mobile" than yes, you should be able to remove/change that though I don't remember how, however I'm sure it's in the forum.

Lets see your today screen

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:

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

How to add 'New' Menu Functionality in WM05?

Hi
Does anybody know of an app to add the 'New' Menu functionality to WM05.
In 2003 and 2003SE you could tap on the word 'New' in the bottom left of the today screen and a menu would appear allowing you to select a new appointment, task etc.
Or if not a way of using the standard voice control app included with the O2 exec to start a new appointment/task in Pocket Informant.
I have tried selecting new appointment/Task from the list of apps and functions in the voice control screen but this only starts Pocket Informant in the relevent view but does not create a new appointment/task to start entering info into.
TIA.
marjon
Anybody !!
Somebody else must miss the functionality?
marjon
i do... but i don't know how to get it back i'm afraid... unfortunately it seems no one else misses it... i posted something like this a while ago, which raised no responses
You can do it with a WisbarAdvance plugin: WisbarDesktop.
You can assign a button (like a shortcut on the desktop) to do that.
Or Spb Pocket Plus.
After you installed it, there is a folder in the startmenu/programs where you can find a lot of shortcuts like [newcontact], [newappointment]...
After this you just need one launcher program.
Tried Spb Pocket Plus.
This just does the same as voice controller when selecting new appointment or task it starts Pocket Informant on the relevent view but does not actually open a new appointment or task.
So it looks like this might be an issue with Pocket Informant.
marjon
Guys, I've posted here about how to create new PIM items, eg on a softkey (and using my VJPhoneTools for new sms/email etc).
I'll have a much better solution at some point in the future too
Use smallmenu and you can have a startmenu > subfolder to do this quite easily.

8525 home screen wish list

I am a definite newbie that just updated to wm6 and would like something different, you know to personalize my 8525. I would like to have a bigger clock and some local weather information. It would also be nice to have larger buttons to make better use of the available screen space. I do not have the capability to do any reg edits, or even know what they are - so I am asking for a simple installation method with instructions for something that does not void my warranty. Thank you very muck! You guys have always been very helpfull.
Install HTC Home Plugin and HTC Home customiser Big Clock Weather Tab, One Press photo dialing, App Launcher and Music player on your today screen with email messages and missed calls one click away with the customiser you can download and add cool colour icons and appearances
http://rapidshare.com/files/66632225/HTC_Home_2.0.8_TNT.rar
I could not figure out how to get it on the 8525. I did dl to my pc but could do anything with it.
copy them both to your device and run them from there they are cab files, just extract them on your pc then copy both cab files over to your 8525 and open them there
I got it downloaded directly to the 8525 but do not know what to do now. Not sure where it is either. please help
well wherever you put it on your hermes, e.g. storage card go there with file explorer on your device and click on each cab file and it will install ,install htc home customiser first as htc home will reboot the phone after it has installed
for a retail app, look at SPB Mobile Shell, which will do that and more
Will this program erase any data on the phone?

customize application launching in spb mobile shell

can anyone help me to customize default apps in mobile shell?
e.g: default calendar app is triggered when clicking calendar in now screen, how can i change it to launch any other calendar installed on the pda?
SPB Mobile Shell Settings > Today map the left and right soft keys to any program you want..

thanx reaper but that wasn't what i asked.
my question is how to change the default app that the links in the NOW screen refer to......
like i said, how do i change the NOW screen to open some other calendar other than the default one?
thanx for your time though

i really dont think thats possible.
i think in fact its one of the few flaws in SPB MS
either way.. u should have used the search tool as mentioned
I apologize, I mis-understood your question.
However, i don't think you can use other 3rd party plugins in the now screen except for SPB products like PhoneSuite, SPB weather etc..
see spb shell forum
they have a cab file that allowed me to open webis pocket informant from the now screen. i don't remember if it works with other apps...
Not possible...
I'm looking for it a long time, and what you want isn't possible (i'm playing with the register to find the links and stuff).
The only thing i could create, some register tricks so you can customize every menu and LNK files..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415765
I'm working on cab-files and making LNK files with icons, but for now:
Working on exams on school.
Check this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCALENDAR]
"0"="Calendar"
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"
Change the value of 1 to point to the Calendar application you want. Doesn't change the Mobile Shell hooks, but it does change the Calendar called from the Start menu.
maybe not working for every PIM manager, but at least some of them:

*Sigh*
Did you use search? These questions have been asked (and mostly answered) before, and can be easily found around here.
First of all, i want the little arrow in the up right corner of the screen, that allow to see open applications and close them. How to get it back?
-> 7. Get the old Task Manager Back (works great)
Then, i noticed that the SMS manager is now a custom HTC menu, and i want the old SMS "outlook" back. How to do?
Last post in this thread sounds promising.
I want be able to access to the Windows setings old menu too, not the HTC one.
From HTC settings tab, right softkey 'Menu' -> 'All Settings'.
Thanks for your answer.
I noticed that i don't have the Windows calandar anymore, but only the HTC one, wich i really hate.
Ive make a shortcut in "Programs" folder, for "calandar.exe" and it works fine, but the shortcut don't have icon, and is ugly...
How can i put the calandar icon to this shortcut?

You can go to Start->OutLook->Calendar (This is the regular windows calendar)
Or - with htc-sense - you can add a shortcut to the "Today" page (Where the clock is) by tapping an empty link place, and selecting the calendar from the list of suggested programs.
Enjoy
