This bell is difficult to tap without a pen and defeats the finger friendly aspect of MS. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Just checked SPB's forum and there is a pretty popular thread there asking for this exact functionality. Doesn't look like SPB is listening or at least responding. Hopefully somebody here can add one.

I got in the same position when using Homescreen++. I got things almost just the way I wanted them and still felt things lacking without this. I don't even need a fancy display for the notifications / reminders. Just an indicator that when tapped, shows the regular WM notification balloons. Heck, at this point I'd even take a setting that leave the balloons up until I dismiss them. Maybe a mortscript could do this? Anything to avoid fumbling with the little bell. It is really hard to hit with just my thumb.

anybody has an idea how to make a shortcup to launch the (too) litle reminder bell ?
Ditto. Not only reminders...but I get all kind of alerts during the day - text, email, calender reminders. It would be nice if I could assign a shortcut to open my pending reminders

That is just MY skin. You can skin rlToday any way you like. One icon, with ot without calendards, etc. You really should have taken a moment to learn about rlToday.
I have all that on my screen because I setup rlToday to show all that. I don't think it's what you really want but you can even have a whole today screen with nothing but an icon for missed sms and an icon for missed calls.
How do you add a shortcut to "Shutdown" or "Stand-by" on Ultimate launcher? I know there's a series of parameters you need to put in order to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated!

I use vjDeviceLock. In UL you can have gestures (slide up or down) that launch programs. I use a down slide to launch vjDeviceLock. It locks my device and powers down the screen with one swipe of my finger.
In UL click change for one of the tabs. You should see 3 tabs across the top. Open the Gestures tab and set a program to run on a gesture.
Thanks for the info man, it is definetly an alternative to what I'm looking for. However, I was leaning more towards having a "Power Off" button and linking it to "stand-by" once you click on it.
If anyone knows the string needed to achieve this please let me know.
Thanks
kdash do you know where can I find those icons for 'Power on' and 'lock'?
thanks
Hi guys...
Does anyone know if it's possible to add 'Tasks' to the home screen underneath the calendar appointments in TF3D Home Screen? This must be an oversight surely, as for many people (and this device must have a myriad of business users), tasks are just as important as appointments!

C'mon graham, you're a senior member and should be able to use the search function within this forum...
And at least: No so far not possible.

I just remapped the left soft key to open my task list in agenda one and works perfectly for me.

I did the same and posted how to do so for someone asking the same question on this forum a month back.
IMO, the lack of support on TF3D for the tasks program is one of it's biggest downfalls. I always had that option checked on my today screen, so that I could be constantly annoyed by reminders of bills that are due.
I bet this would be fairly easy for a developer with an understanding of the TF3D interface to tackle..
I'd also like to see this, very handy thing to have.
Is somebody presently working on such an application? searching brings up plenty of threads saying it isn't possible at present but unusually for this forum, no indication that an application is in progress.
It would be great thing... for ex clock could be much smaller and then tasks / appointments under that clock... something like agendatoday, but smaller one...
Thanks guys...
Thanks for the replies. And yes, I know I'm a senior member and I always search before posting, but in this case I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. And judging by other users responses, I'm not alone with this one.
Besides that, I don't buy the "can't be done" response. Whenever someone says something can't be done, they're usually interupted by the person doing it!
I purposely left my reply for a couple of weeks to see if anyone could come up with a solution, but alas, it's seems this one really "can't be done" !!
Deleted sorry wrong forum :S
The way I solved this problem is using SecondToday and TodayAgenda in it. I mapped the left softkeys in both TF3D and SecondToday to switch back and forth (SecondToday does this). This way I have TF3D and a second today screen more "business oriented".
Add Homescreen++ to this and you have a digital clock and a data/call counter.
hope this helps
Hi there,
I am hoping to find just a few rare tweaks for my Diamond, here they are:
1. Anybody ever though of (can't believe nobody did) a tool for left-handed users? Specifically, a.o.:
- WM vertical scrollbar displayed on the left not on the right
- In TF3D, the People tab, the slide-out bar to display some of my favorites is on the right and not on the left. Sliding with left hand is no good because the palm covers the screen.
2. Is there any way to transfer contacts with non-ASCII symbols from htc memory to SIM?
3. Managing text messages. Once you browse Inbox and single click on a message it displays along with the keyboard. What makes big sense once you want to send a message is useless for reading messages. Any way to rid the screen of it? How about the font used to display the message. Which registry variable sets it?
4. How about SMS channels be displayed on today screen? It is possible to add the channel but not display it.
regards
With regards to #3, can't you just tap the keyboard symbol at the bottom-center of the screen to make it disappear?
I sure can, but tell me one reason to do it?

Hi folks,
searched around this forum (and others) unsuccessfully for hours now, maybe someone knows what i'm looking for.
I don't like the procedure of confirming appointments or tasks provided by WM6 in combination with tf3d.
If you can't confirm the alarm instantly it disappears after a while and the softkey is overruled by tf3d.
As you all know you have to press the top bar and after that the bell in the upcoming screen to bring the reminder in front and if you want to be reminded later you need two more fingertips.
What i am looking for (or what i'm dreaming about) is a fingerfriendly dialog (maybe in a transparent curtain style corresponding to tf3d or so) popping up and staying in front of the screen until it is confirmed, containig the information about the task or appointment, maybe the current time, buttons for confirmation or repeating after a while.
By the way a big thank you to all the developers and contributors, this forum is No.1 and helped me a lot for years now.
Thanks in advance
Me too!
Yeah, I'll second that! Bloody annoying when the pop-up disappears before you get a chance to interact with it. If anyone has a solution to this, I'm all ears
Pop up stays put when using S2U2

Thanks my friend... been using another screen lock app, S2U2 is alot better I have to say - and FREE!
Hmmm....., S2U2,
i followed the developing from on the beginning and used it on my old prophet (at this point a lot of thanks to A_C for this excellent piece of work) but found that the handling of appointments when popping up wasn't as good as the rest of the app.
The appointment comes up (as the native windows dialog, which is, let me say, not very beautyful, also the top bar comes up, cutting of the S2U2 clock) and stays on the S2U2 screen but if you don't recognize it and the device goes into stand-by and you switch it on later the pop-up is gone (at least on the prophet), which is no problem on a classic today screen, but on a tf3d screen the softeys are overruled and you have the "problem" described in my first post.
And as a locking solution you have some other opportunities today, SlideToAnswer and TouchlockPro are fitting my needs better on the diamond.
Also in times of eyecandy i think this dialog is a missing link in the chain of beautyness.
So i'm still in hope that someone has a recommendation, but maybe it's not a problem for the most.
Hey, I have a hopefully quick question, but haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for yet.
I have a Touch Pro 2 and am really starting to like the simplistic view of the Today screen without TF3D or the Windows Default views.
Unfortunately if you don't use TF3D or Windows Default, the Today screen doesn't display missed calls or voicemail notifications. Is there a simple plugin that will do this? I've done quite a bit of research and the only real solution I've been finding is PhoneAlarm which sounds good, but I am looking for a free solution.
Anybody have any ideas? I find it hard to believe there isn't a simple (free) plugin that will do this functionality...
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're going for the simplistic view, then why not use the LED notifications for when you have a missed call/voicemail/text/email? Also, even on the today screen, when you have a missed call or voicemail or text or whatever it should display an icon in the taskbar. Beyond that, you're right I have no idea of a free solution to this unless you enable Sense or Titanium. Maybe other people will know more, just thought I'd suggest the LED thing
Try HomeScreen PlusPlus here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm
Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm looking for something a bit more advanced than a flashing indicator on the phone I want to duplicate the functionality of the Home screen on Sense (that shows the voicemail and missed calls notification and allows you to directly call you voicemail and see the list of missed calls.)
I tried the HomeScreen PlusPlus, but it appears to only track outgoing calls/texts and not the missed calls and new voicemails...

HomeScreen PlusPlus can do just that, but you need to write your own MortScripts or modify existing ones. The DigiClock skin provides these functions, but I think the graphics it comes with are for QVGA screens, so if you used VGA graphics with the skin you'd get your functionality. I may have MortScripts I modified that does exactly what your looking for as well, before I moved to Pointui Home2. Let me know if you want them and I can post them for you...
That would be great if you could post them - I'd love to try them out.
Thanks!
