Hi,
after trying ver much today plugins etc, I finally found what I really want and need. I made a rough sketch of my idea, mybe someone could give me a hint, how to realize that?
Basically I just need to see date/time in the top bar (I think there's some registry setting for that?), a weather plugin, and a calender preview (like today agenda) and a launcher, where I can switch between calendar and launcher. I know this should be possible, just not exactly how. Pocket Breeze for example is too overloaded with iLauncher integrated, and I don't need a separate tab for tasks for example. On the other hand, the touch homescreens weather plugin never updates it's view, it always shows the weather from the last sync, not the current one. Without data flatrate and a resulting occasional USB update, I never have the current weather shown
As you say I think there's a reg setting for the time + date in the title bar. (I think I've seen the option in Tweak2K2.NET.)
You can remove the Day + Date + time today item using the Settings -> Today configuration.
For weather I use SpbWeather, which can show 4 days of weather across a 240px wide screen.
Edit: Additionally I use ScaryBear QuickTasks for the tasks list.
That should cover some of what you want. For meetings you may be able to achieve using the standard today plugin anyhow.
the builtin calender plugin show not enough upcoming meetings, but I can use TodayAgenda for that, which also shows tasks. Only thing I don't like with TodayAgenda, it doesn't use category colors...
For weather weatherpanel could be nice, seen that in a thread below this one. Biggest problem with most weather plugins is the inflexibility with updates, what I need is "update only on activeSync".
What I couldn't find so far is a tabbed interface, that integrates a Launcher and the TodayAgenda, with a large button to switch between views (don't want a stylus on today screen)
Edit: hm, I have the correct registry value for date/time in the taskbar:
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
but it doesn't show. When I leave the homescreen, I see the clock, on the homescreen itself nothing. I have HTC taskmanager installed, which I like, maybe it prevents that? Also the HTC touch homescreen is installed, which shows the time, but I don't like it, so I disabled the today plugin, but maybe it diesabled the clock?
for weather you can try to the free program of weather-to-go (you can set it to update only on activesync)

for meetings and tasks, I do like todayagenda. i believe there are some color options that are in the program (I haven't personally used).
for the launcher (without the use of a stylus) you can use claunch and have it set to large icons in the options. if you want it specifically integrated into one section with the calendar, i don't know of a launcher that's integrated into the calendar except for loaded programs from spb or sbsh.
there was a program that showed the date as small text underneath the time. found it...it was pbar. it's also a useful task manager (better than vbar). also free.

for the new on the bottom left softkey, you can look for and install wmnewmenu and map it to the left key (i forget if it's an option in the program. if not, you can look for the softkey mapper...think it's by dotfred) and map it.

I searched a bit on pocketage, there seems to be no homepage or anything...
The "new" menu I have already running...
I don't need a calendar with integrated launcher, I just need a 2-tabbed interface with acalendar preview and a launcher... this can be one, two or three separate tools if need be...

for a two-tabbed launcher, claunch should be able to work. it defaults with 8 tabs, but you can set in options to only have 2 tabs and rename them as you see fit.
Check SPB Mobile Shell

I need to have the calendar preview in one tab, so it's not actually a 2-tabbed launcher, but more a tabbed interface for two today plugins...

hmm...that's gonna be tricky. i don't recall seeing any free software that does that. i do know that spb and sbsh have a today plugin that will integrate the calendar into a tab. i think one of them also the ability to add other third party today plugins in their their tabs as well (based on past experience when i tried this software, but i can't reconfirm from my current access due to stupid websense in the network)
SPB Mobile Shell looks nice so far, just have to get a bit into it's customizability. Only checked the old version, but with the new one and it's Professional Now screen, it looks quite good...

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if there is a way to make the HTC Home plugin only show the clock, like a registry edit or something? The thing is I use ultimate launch, and I dont need the new sms and missed call tabs, and the other tabs below with weather etc. They're just using space. I tried other home plugins that only have a clock, but I could not customize them the way I like (I really like the diamond clocks for HTC Home).
I've tried searching the forums (alot) for an answer, but I just could'nt find any. So sorry if this has been answered before!
Thanks
no registre... , easy manipulation
look
I want to remove the tabs completely, so I get the space to other plugins, if it's possible. Or another plugin that is a clock only that I can customize the same way as the HTC Home plugin clock.
I have also tried unchecking all the tabs in the menu you show me here, but I still get the four standard tabs (Home, weather, app launcher & profiles). Even edited the tab registry string, but they're still there.
Try this. I've use it and it's quite simple. In the today items don't choose htc home and use the pdc clock instead.
Thank you! But I allready tried it and I don't think I can customize it the way I want to.
When it comes to my question about removing all the tabs from the HTC Home plugin, I kind of figured out myself that it was pretty stupid. Since the home tab in the HTC Home plugin -IS- the clock, I now understand it's impossible to remove it and still have the clock.
But if anyone has a clock plugin that you can customize the same way as the HTC Home plugin clock, please post!
well what some people do is use the samsung clock instead of the htc home clock...
Try this link, it isn't HTC Home but the clock looks similar, but as far as I know you cannot customize it...

I've been searching for a while and haven't come up with much.
Are there skins/themes that don't utilize/disable TF3D in order to get an 800x600 image on the home screen, or does TF3D have to be turned on to operate the Blackstone? I'd also like to free up a little more memory. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Looks like my only option is to install SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5...?
Do I just install this like any other program and disable TF3D? I'm currently running Dutty's 2.1 ROM.
Also, what affect does running these latest ROMs have on SPB Mobile Shell? Does SPB completely override everything from a cooked ROM?
Personally, I am not a fan of TF3D...
I like to see everything at glance.
I use SPB Time, Messages, SPB Diary, Device lock and SPB Weather on my home screen.
Memory usage is usually around 30%.
Just waiting for SPB Shell 3.0 to come out, looks heaps nice.
TF3D is very good, but it's not convenient and fast to use.
Thanks for the replies. So, if I install SPB, do I just disable TF3D?
Will I lose access to all the tabs like Music and Communications?
What ROM should I be using if I make the move to SPB?
It doesn't matter what ROM, just install it and untick TF3D on the today setting and tick the SPB.
You can always go back to TF3D so don't worry.
Hello,
I have the following problem.
At first: I want to use the TouchFLO because I like these app.
On my Today screen, I want to display calendar entries, notes and G-alarm.
Now, when I go to "settings->today->elements" there is only "TouchFLO" activated. When I select calendar, notes .... and go back to my today screen nothing happens.
When I go back to the element settings, the selected options (Calendar, notes...) are unselected.
When I deactivate TouchFLO, then everything I selected is shown at the today screen correctly, but I want to use both....TouchFLO + notes, calenar...
Is there any solution?
Or is it possible to take out the weather applikation at the today screen or to make the clock a little bit smaller? Maybe then it's more space.
Kind regards,
Philadou
Dude, you are trying to switch between two options - Touch Flo and Windows Mobile 6.5 home screen. On windows mobile you can see what you want, on touch flo you see what HTC has put.
Ok, I understand.
Is there any way to change the look of the TouchFLO today screen?

Search in xda for M2DC (this is manila 2d customizer), with it you can remove tabs
I already have M2DC installed.
It also was no problem to remove buttons from the sliding bar but I
can't find a function to remove the weather from the today screen.
You know where it is possible?
Its possible if you dissable touch flo, i dont know another way
Ok...if I disable TouchFLO, is there any program I can install which is like the TouchFLO?
I like these sliding effects.
I only need this sliding tab on the today screen where i have direct access to programs, contacts, internet etc.
The weather widget is "fixed" part of Touchflo.....
You could use an alternative today screen like SPB mobile shell.......
