Lack of Agenda Space

I've posted in the Clock forum with hardly a response. Is anyone addressing the basic issue with business use of TF3D? The Today screen, while attractive, is not well suited to the original purpose; to see mail, appointments, etc at one glace. It uses up so much room needlessly, that there is no room for appointments.
The clock is about twice as big as necessary. Missed calls are not so critical as to need an entire line. Then last is what needs to be first, the agenda. Room for one appointment isn't even close to what a business person needs; we need the bulk of our day at a glance. In this respect, the original MS Today screen was far better, primitive as it is.
The fix is easy in concept. A clock half the size, and dropping the Missed Calls section in favor or an notification icon or something similar would allow room for 3-4 agenda items, which is acceptable in most cases. The question is, does TF3D let one make these kinds of changes? Anyone?

'The fix is easy in concept' is the key words here...
In reality It's not easy...
personally I don't know why you opened a new thread on this subject.. you have already done/asked the same statement/question...
I agree with you.. I would also like to have more appointments, etc on the Home tab...
If you'll have a look around here in the forum you will see that there is research going on on the subject of altering the programming of manila files...
But needless to say It's not easy! (or there would be more changing, more tabs, more of everything in TF3D)
Do a search about it... maybe you can contribute with your knowledge and programming experience?

Yes, I do understand that concept is different than implementation.
It is a new thread because clock design is not the primary topic, it is a means to an end. Also, because I had received no response previous to yours here. Thank you.

Appointments on home page

hello everybody!
Is there any way to prompt more than one appointment on TF3D home page ? Thank you for your answers.

I'm also interested...

That would be awesome to have. I need to open my agenda often to see my next meeting if that could be shown on the TF3D tab that would save me quite some frustration through the day ))

This question and many others come up so frequently that I wonder whether HTC take note of things that should have been included in the first place; multi-appointments and tasks to name but only two!

Yeah you are right, HTC seems not to take any notes on their users comments. You saw this already with the requests for the HTC Home. Now with the TF3D it is the same thing. Working here on this forum gives you some nice insight of what is possible with TF3D. If I just take a look @ D-MAN's work I guess there are options here. I'm not a developer myself but seeing the work of others that gives me hope ;-)
So it is not really a comment to HTC but a request to the developers here @ XDA that would be able to create such a feature.

i want it so badly....
it is just not enough for me...it seems that only appointments in two days can be displayed on the home page....i wonder if a few more appointments(no matter how many days after)could appear so i don't have to get into the calendar page to check my upcoming appointment.

that is also what i am looking for... is that not possibe to be done for you pro's out there?

Calendar Tab on M2D

Is there any way of inserting a calendar tab instead of one of the ones available such us weather, people, etc.?
I would like to see all my appoinments for Today at once, but I can´t work it out.
Any help?

this is defenitely the wrong board...and by the way, there is a M2D customization thread, and be sure, if it was possible it would be posted there, cause there are lots of people wanting a real calendar tab on M2D.
otherwise I can only give you a hint: my WM7 theme for throttle launcher will definetely include a (customizable?) calendar page

Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...

Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!

yeah ! good idea !

Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo

hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!

same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.

anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes

maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.

@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!

wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!

Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)

Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving

There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it

Upping this to see if there are any developments.

I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool

M2d on Omnia

HI all,
I have got an question. I have been trying to get M2d working properly on my Omnia. I seem to be able to run it but with some issues. Here is the post I had posted earlier on:
"First of all I really like the things we can do with M2d, but I am having some problems with my Omnia. It seems like not all the tabs are stretched out enough to fit the whole screen. For example if i open the Weather tab. At the bottom (above the icons) I can see the weather for the coming days. When i would go to the Messaging tab then, i will still see that weather for the coming days. It could be usefull, but it SHOULDNT be there. At the other tabs it is just very ugly. Could anyone help me sort this out?
I really like this software, but with this thing going on, I rather use SPB Mobile Plus."
Ive installed the 22 beta2 version of M2d. I hope anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance
