Tom

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!

Removing Taskbar/Bottom section of Today - Possible?

At the bottom of the Today screen, you got your SOFT button functions written, and some icons for applications like Comm Manager & Battery.
Personally, I don't care for that section of the today screen.
I wish to use that space taken on my screen to have more TODAY plugins.
Is there such a mod/hack/registry tweak/whatever to do so?

you can remove the battery and comm manager icon by editing the registry like so:
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
As for the soft key buttons, I do not believe there is a way to remove that bottom bar.

there is a possibility to remove the soft keys from the today screen:
use VJToggleToday2alpha

i dont think that'll work on wm6

Use Wisbar Advance 3 to remove that.

VJToggle works on WM6.

VJToggleToday2alpha works very well on WM6

I've seen the registry tweaks for comm mgr and battery.. but have not seen anything for the icon I get when I put the phone ni vibrate mode, and the other various app-specific icons (ie. I think Pocket Informant stuck an icon there). Seems more like there needs to be a setting to say "tray icons are disabled" vs. disabling each specific tray icon...

Phone Profiles switching from Tasbar or by shortcut toggling

Hi everybody
It's all resumed in the title of this thread ...
In the past I was using SPB phone suite or Phone Alarm to switch between the different profiles I set, but on my Touch HD, as I'm usign the Manila TF3D plugin on my today screen, no other today plugin can co-exist with Manila TF3D.
So I'm looking for a SW that will allow switching between different profiles (Loud, normal, car, silent, etc ...) straight away from the taskbar or by using a shortcut ...
If anybody have any solution, will appreciate if he/she can share
Cheers

Nobody knows such SW that can do the job?

personally i just tap the volume on the top bar, choose volume icon and then hit silent, vibrate or adjust the volume it self... alternatively change volume by volume key and choose silent/vibrate...
it is not bad for me, compared to the homescreen profile tab back on my htc touch wm 6.1.

Very strange, icons are missing from the windows menu?

I have a problem with the htc hd 2, when you press the windows logo button on the bottom of the phone you jump to menu where all the icons are (such as installed programs icons and settings).
what happened is that all icons are missing except the today icon, how can
you bring all those icons back?
Also when you install a new program the phone doesn't make any icon in the menu. I have soft reset my phone with the reset button on the back but wouldn't work.
Can somebody help me with this problem?

I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but that sounds like a hard reset is needed, to me. Wait and see if anyone else has any suggestions, but that sounds quite a nasty problem.

I have got the same problem... any ideas how to fix it without hard reset?

I have two such icons .. HTC people and HTC calendar. It seems it has something to do with turning corresponding tabs off and on again.

Yes it would me nice to fix it without hard reset Any suggestions?

corresponding tabs off and on

How do you turn the corresponding tabs off and on?
Another thing hhen you go to the setting en press menu on the right corner then press more then nothing appears/happen?

Settins / personalize / home screen tabs
And I can confirm it .. first I had no such icons. Then I disabled calendar tab. Still nothing. Then I enabled calendar tab. And THC Calendar icon with no picture (only default one) showed up in the start menu. Now if I remove the tab, the icons gets removed too. But as I enable the tab again, icon is back.
Same for HTC People icon.
Only tweak I use which could have something to do with this enabling all settings icon in start menu (via BsB tweaks).

I see what you mean thanks for the effort, but with these icons the htc has no problems, its with icons you see when you press the windows logo button, its a long list with all the installed applications. In this screen they all disapeared except the today icon.
Some help from anybody would be very appreciated?

Hmmm
I had the same issue.
Flashed 1.48 over it.
Havn't had the problem since.

Check this dudes thread for additional/replacement icons...stunning stuff!

Updating rom solved the problem thanks for help me out!!

Any other solution available other then updating my ROM...cause it's already up-to-date.
I got this issue after a soft reset by BsB Tweaks.

Additional info:
- I'm using a Dutch ROM (so "\Windows\Startmenu\Program files" is called "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's" )
- It happened after a soft reset after altering the Led Notifications/Message Notification setting
(I think the soft reset itself might have caused it)
- I have been moving startmenu items around using my ActiveSync connection
All I've found on the forum thus far is: Hard reset your device...but I really don't wanna.

Damn, it happened again. I'm stuck with just the Today icon again.
For a while I thought: leave it be. With Co0kie's Home Tab I can access all applications I need.
But I recently noticed that I cannot access my advanced settings screen either... and there's no shortcut for that.
Too bad, nobody came up with a solution that doesn't require a hard reset or ROM Update (which basically means the same: Clean slate).
Anyone?

O2 UK ROM Updated from 1.43 to 1.72.

Hi all,
I just updated the stock 1.43 ROM to the 1.72 stock ROM via the HTC website. I don't appear to have any major issues with the flash (yet).
I'm just in the process of re-installing all my stuff. However, I can't get my home screen back to how it was, which I liked. Before the update I had 2 visible rows of 4x4 program icons, I can now only get 1 row to be visible. Also I had a notification bar that informed me if I had any missed calls, texts or e-mails. I can't get this back on either.
I'm sure I set the above up using CHT Editor which I've re-installed along with Cookies Home Tab & BSB Tweaks. But I can't find the setting to give me back the 2 visible rows of icons and the notification bar.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thx.
