There are quite a lot of different calendars out there. But which calendar is the very best for the Diamond??
My personal favourite is SBSH Calendar Touch. It's not free but has appointments, tasks (important to me) and good finger-friendly interface.

Definately true, plus that the prog is eyecandy bigtime .
Thumbcal wins though, because of the usibility with my thumbs/fingers. It beats sbsh on this. Tasks are well integrated in TC.
These two progs were my personal finalists in a wide range contest....
TF3D2 Calendar
I was quite impressed with the SBSH Calendar and used for quite a while on TF3D1. The list mode provided a good view of the week ahead and was easily customised (I found the trial version and attached it).
On the TF3D2, Manila had a new tab included, "Calendar" which makes it a little bit more convenient but only shows Months and Days.
I use Homescreen AllBg - Tore edition with the TF3D2. This gives a great display on the Home tab of up to 5 appointments as shown.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knew if there is a way to view appointments from a certain amounts of days from the current on the today screen.
I.e. I would like to view all appointments on the today screen that are due in the next three days all at once for example.
Thanks.
In the Today options, select Calendar and press the Options button. Select 'Show Upcoming appointments' instead of the default 'Show next Appointment'.
A better alternative would be to install the Calendar+ FREE today plug-in. This allows many customisations like font color, number of days to display, etc. Here's the link to download it: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=108
Unless you want to go for the commercial Pocket Breeze of course!
Nice one KTA- Calendar plus is a handy plugin- just what I needed.
Thanks.
Hi sh500,
as an alternative, have a look at tAgenda. I also used Calendar+ for quite some time, but after trying tAgenda, I deinstalled Calendar+.
In my opinion, tAgenda is much more comfortable because it's much more customisable and has more options (Layout, colors, style, shows appointments and todos, and so on).
HTH,
BGK
BGK,
I've downloaded tAgenda- will see if it benefits me over Calendar+
Hi I'mlokoing for a calendar today plugin that shows a celander monthly view on the today screen that you can click to select a date etc....
I've been running with JUI Today calendar 1.0 but it's limited.
Any ideas.
PocketBreeze will allow you to pn a monthly calendar to the Today screen
so will spb diary. i personally like spb a little better.

I found PocketBreeze a lot more WM5 friendly, allowing one-handed operation almost all the time. But I saw they just updated Diary, so it may be a little friendlier as well...

I am a very happy user of the SPB Diary/PocketPlus/Clock series but I can't help but see that there is a huge world of customization for the SBSH PocketBreeze and iLauncher programs.
Does anyone know off hand which uses less system resources?
Anyone prefer one over the other? Why?
I am just curious, because I almost want to buy the SBSH suite even though I already have bought the SPB set.
Sbsh -- HANDS DOWN!!
For me, Sbsh was the winner -- hands down. Their apps were MUCH more customizable than Spb's. And I found that the Sbsh products used less system resources. I use Pocket Breeze, iLauncher and Pocket Weather
The only Spb products I use are Spb Time and Spb Finance. The Spb Time program give the option of a fullscreen display clock that Sbsh Clock does not offer and Spb Finance syncs with MS Money on my desktop so I can keep track of my finances during the day on my Wizard and not have to wait until I get home to enter everything into MS Money.
Another thing I like about Sbsh's PocketBreeze is that I was able to add a custom tab for the Spb products, as well. So, I can access the Spb Time AND the Spb Finance programs with one tap onscreen.
YMMV, but I HIGHLY recommend Sbsh!! There's EXCELLENT support on their forums as well. Can't vouch for support on Spb forums, as I didn't run the programs long enough to actually register on their's.
Can you make custom tabs to run Today plug-ins on PocketBreeze?
My bit with SPB's PocketPlus is that it take a big footprint on my Today screen on my Wizard when I have Chi-Dang's Battery Status, PocketMax's PhoneAlarm (with the Media Phone skin), and the Device Lock all on my device.
I would like to make a seperate system tab where I can put Chi-Dang's Battery Status in there with other system items...
I am almost curious to getting it now...
If a program appears on the list of available Today plugins on your device, you can assign a custom tab to it.
The only tab in PocketBreeze that can't be deleted is the Calendar tab. By default, it also has a tab for notes, messages, tasks and Special Events. You can choose NOT to use those and/or replace them/add your own.
Attached are some screenshots of my Wizard. I have mine set up so the tabs are vertically aligned on the screen, rather than horizontally aligned. You can run PocketBreeze minimized, or run it with one of the tabs opened -- by default it would run the calendar tab.
It has a 14 day fully functional trial period. I didn't wait the full 14 days to try it. I was sold after about 3 days and bought it. And, from what I'm reading on the Sbsh forums, there's an upgrade in the works, too!! All upgrades are FREE to registered users.
Hm... Now I am really intrigued... I may have to give it a whirl or even purchase it!
PocketBreeze is a MUST HAVE for me. The special settings to draw a border on the cleartype text and how it display my next appointments and todo's its amazing.
Bot programs can be tested on the emulator
I'm a big pocketbreeze fan as well
after trying both...I choose pocketbreeze handsdown...I love the display, the icons, pretty condense for the amount of info it displays, amazing amount of customization, and what's great is that you can add any today plug-in into pocketbreeze as another tab
fantastic (just wish they would work on AKU3.2...oh well)
SBSH for sure.
SBSH is more "customizable" and more "heavier" than SPB. I try both and stopped on SBSH. It looks more beautiful for me.
I like SBSH product for all teh above reasons as well. The ability to make a tab for ANY today plugin sealed the deal also. I also like the availability of custom icons for iLauncher vs. pocket+.
Free trials are a wonderful thing.
The only SPB products I really like are backup and time.
I just wish that iLauncher had a alt+tab function like PocketPlus
hi there, so mnay threads now in this section...i' search but was wondering if it will be possible for some Masters like panosha to make a black and white HD calendar skin ..if i remember well, i saw somme screenshots somewhere here and may be it exists already..... thanks....
please call me stupid .... i haven't seen that the calendar tab from Singh in the 15 tabs TF3D cab is exactly what i wanted ^_^
so now next request.... how to link the Calendar on home screen to the skin like in the Calendar Tab ??? when i tapped the calendar home link , i have the
horrible WM green and white and electric blue calendar .... thanks in advance ......
I'm interested too but I don't see the example that you say in 15 tabs thread?
Bye
Thumbcal
Do a search for Thumbcal. Although it is commercial software, you can try it for 14 days and I think you will love it - I do!
It goes very well with the Touch Flo interface and replaces the default calendar. It also deals with tasks within the calendar app.
Let me know what you think... I haven't bought it yet but am very tempted... i can finally use my calendar without the stylus!
There is also a new calendar comming from SBSH that I saw "leaked" today
http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/414/new-calendar-touch-coming-sbsh
Though I am not running any of their software yet on my HD, I have found their software excellent - I will give this a try when its out to see what it's all about.
hum...thanks but you don't understand, ..i just want a skin like the black calendar of the SINGH tab ......not an App
I'm also interested for just a skin for the official agenda of windows mobile 6.1.
Thanks
SINGH ....where a re you ????
I'm here.
..... ?

I agree! Thumbcal is fantastic. I came across this thread while searching for a calendar tab for TF3D. I found one but it does absolutely nothing. Also, the Calendar 'link' underneath the clock always brought up that awful Windows calendar, which I hate. I gave Thumbcal a try and now when I tap on the Calendar link underneath the clock, Thumbcal comes up. YES!
I will definitely buy this one. I had previously been using AgendaOne but I likeThumbcal much better. It's more user friendly and definitely worth the money.
Oh, and I should mention that I'm not bothered about a Calendar tab now. It's nice to have quick access to the calendar from TF3D so an actual tab for it doesn't really matter to me anymore.
Even I Require a Skin...
Even I Require a Skin for the ugly looking default calendar in Touch HD...pls pls pls....TIA

Can you get it to open anything except the day view? I'd really like a week view, but yes 100% better than the default one.
I try Thumbcal : what a shame : It take an hour to be launch on my HD (but interface is very nice and it's a pleasure to use it), when SBSH take a second...
Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a dedicated thread for sharing widgets we may develop for use with SPB MS 3.0 (now that its officially out!!!).
Here are some ideas for widgets that can be developed imo -
1. Flip Clock (like TF3D)
2. Slideshow widget
3. Media player widget (linking to other music apps such as Coreplayer)
4. Stocks widget
5. Calendar widget (linking to third party PIMs)
Please help!!!
spb ms3 widgets
Very good idea !
Hope that skinners will be at this "rendez-vous".
would be useful a widget for change activesync, mystorage, storage card connection (like wireless widget)
Can these kind of widgets actually be made? I looked at the XML and supplied widgets of SPB, and they all seem to direct to classes in the compiled program.
Perhaps i'm missing something. What I really miss is tasks on your 'lifestyle' screen. I hope it can somehow be made, but atm I don't see how.
What I like to see is an SMS viewer like in TF3D. I don't like to open the MS Inbox every time, when I have a new message.
I'd prefer a RSS widget. I don't get, why they haven't at least integrated SPB Insight...
I'd like to see a Post-it Notes type of widget. Also, it would be cool if you can change the swipe up/down function to open the launcher or contacts screen (or anything else). I have no use for the professional layout because I can basically re-create it in the lifestyle screen.
A Flexmail widget is what i would like to see
They dont have an intgration with SPD time - stop watch ??? Why not?
You can only get one day on the weather, even if you have SPD weather ?
I hate the bottom screen contacts and launcher stuff - total waste of screen space.
And why would you want to see all the available screens (bottom left buttom) ?
It looks nice, but I prefer their standalone softwear. Much more control and functionality.
I would like to have a memory indicator
anyone knows how t do it?

Well, maybe if you tried integrating with their own suite of SPB applications, instead of whatever this SPD stuff is, it might work better?
I seem to have 4 days worth of weather forecasts perfectly fine, here...
i really would like to have a TF3D flip clock that acutally flips.
has any one found that yet??
please i've looking for a while.
