I currently use the HTC Home Plug and am loolking for something else, anyone have some examples of clocks they use on their homescreens? I would like to see them and please post the cabs if you have them. I would prefer a nice Digital like the Home Plugin but without all the tabs and stuff. thanks.
Cheers!!!
I am using the Samsung clock...for the same reasons you are looking for an alternative to HTC Home. This one can be customized in a few ways - black digital, white digital, analog etc. Here's the cab if you want to check it out...
Cheers.
I really like Samsung Time's look on Today but it does seem to slow my Hermes down apppreciably. Someone on here mentioned it having a memory leak but I don't know if that's true.
I tried rlToday but it's more than I need tbh, I was just after a clock really.
There are a lot of freeware Today clocks all over t'internet though. Anyone have one they want to sing the praises of?
you can get a lot of ideas from THIS THREAD. There are some really nice home screens there and I'm sure the members would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the apps they're using. If you're willing to purchase an app, check out Spb Pocket Plus 4, Spb Mobile Shell, and actually almost all Spb Apps. Good Luck
samsung clock
I installed the samsung clock
but how do you make it a 12 hour clock instead of a 24 hour one?

Boring old today screen, fine-tuned for efficiency
Cool idea & nice today screen.
Mine's a totally different approach. I tried all kinds of backgrounds, but found that photo's make the text hard to read, so eventually I came back to the boring old default blue one... I expanded it to the top and bottom of the screen.
Wisbar
Pocketbreeze
Battery bar pro
Weatherpanel (in Pocketbreeze tab)
My Today screen is all about information. I want my appointments, tasks and mail notifications to be clearly readable, with important items highlighted, yet easy on the eyes - no fluorescent stuff for me. Notice the carefully chosen text colors and the everso subtle hint of font shading to make it stand out. 8) (ok I know, I'm so full of it... :roll: )
The icon console in the Wisbar top bar is my own design. I tried to make it as compact as possible, to allow for a lot of running program icons next to the start button.
There's four scrollable rows of program shortcuts in the Program bar.
Might experiment with skinning a little more, it's fun.
i like the wisbar plug-in do you know where i can get it for free :wink:

Works fine on my WM2003
where do you go to change the settings ????????????/
does anyone have a good windows mobile 5 ppc theme? or at least close to one?
Try this, its already optimized for PocketPlus.
I'm bored, so might as well post my new creation as well.
Juni's SWDeluxe Skin Suite v3.0
Juni's modified Chromium
Quickie question, those that have the task bar skinned...what app are you using to skin the notfication button and signal strength? Haven't found anything that works on the XV6600.
I'll post my today screen when I get home:
Date
SPB PocketPlus with Weather tabbed
SPB Diary
Messages
SPB 'Sphere' theme
I like my Today with plain black background. It's easier for me to read !!

It's Wisbar Advance 2. Skinning it yourself is not too difficult; I made my taskbar and taskbar icons with Photoshop. But there's plenty of cool skins available, like the ones from Juni.
I've found that with Wisbar Advance 2.0, my resources are very low and it slows down the entire ppc. Anybody else with this problem? I love the various looks I can make, but because of it being so memory intensive, I've opted, for now, to not run it.
I'm with rsbenedict on this one. I've tried wisbar a few times, but it always seems to slow my device to a crawl. Has it improved recently?
WISBAR has been improved, try it for me no slowdowns
Skinners are getting better and better. I personally like this one as it matches my unit casing.
Hey Nomadman, what app are you using to pick up the news story?
Q.
I love the tabs (used USB Home customizer to edit some icons and tabs) but the huge clock takes up all the space on the screen. I'd rather see more of my calender, than that stupid clock.
I know that I could use SPB Mobile Shell, but that program changes the way I do everything on my phone, and it takes up too much memory. It would be perfect if i could just use the home screen and nothing else.
If anybody knows of some alternatives, please let me know. I'm currently using the TodayAgenda plug-in and I'd like to see more of it and at the same time see my battery status and just the tabs of contacts, phone profiles, ect.

I like the Clock, it could be a bit smaller though.
Can we change the size?
regards
tim
I agree - a smaller clock would be a beaty.
I do completely agree. The clock should be (my opinion) quarter size, or less.
Agenda, calendar
What usually do people is to write in the agenda everything that woul like to do in a day, usualy never done.
Well to change item from one day to anther is a tedious work, specially because when you have changed some thing from 5 days ago to today (i.e.) then the day showed is today (instead 5 days ago, the day where you was working in order to move what you did´nt make)
Don't think ist possible, the clock is just 1 of the options of the HTC home plugin. When you click weather, contacts or programs, the size is the same as the height of the clock.
hm, not quite keeping htchome,
but how about using htc plus instead?
customizable via:
The layout is stored entirely as bmp images under \Windows\HTCPlus. And all the programs chosen can be modified under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts.
see attachment:
I prefer normal thc home plugin coz plus not for my mobile freezes and totally slowing down of my artemis. Maybe no good with fracoon 2.2 version, but i dont think so.
Hey guys,
been looking around about customising my Touch HD but a little unsure if a different theme can help me here, I really like the current theme I have; which is just default with some extra taskbar icons; simple but effective!
Thing is I want to add notes or reminders or something to the today screen, so I can view things at a glance without having to add them to the calendar, things like a reminder to pick up some beers on the way home, or a reminder to go post some letters or even a shopping list! Though I'm pretty sure I saw an app somewhere around that was called shopping list, would ideally like to be able to dismiss reminders etc by touching them then confirming or something similar, so I can check stuff off as I've done it easily..... at the moment I only have Call history and Calendar on the today screen; anyone know of a way to edit what is displayed on the today screen?
EDIT: I just realised this makes me sound a complete moron lol, I mean being able to add things to the TF3D today screen, otherwise i'd just use the winmo version, however I really like the touchflo interface just wish there was more customisation available!
Also if I download an iphone theme (just to confuse the mac fanboys at uni...) can I easily switch between that and my current theme after a soft reset or something? Or does it involve me editing it via the activesync?
Hope someone can help!
It might be better for you to install something like second today or touchflo detacher.. that way you can switch between touchflo and your iphone theme at the touch of a button..
or you can use the second today to put all the information you want on the winmo today screen.. the screen real estate on the HD is amazing.. and then map your iphone theme to another program and have all three hotswapping on the touch of a button.
Personally I think part of the beauty of touchflo is the lack of clutter on each tab.. adding too much to the homescreen defeats the object.

Agreed. I use 2ndToday & PocketBreeze, activated by the left soft key on the TF3D home page.
hmmm did want to just have it all there to be seen as soon as I turned on the phone, tho after reading more extensively around the internet I see it's just not possible at the moment. However I'll hold out hope that one day it'll be possible!
Might try that 2nd today screen thing, might be a bit of a pain to have to flip between them but hey... needs must. Might also look into properly customizing it to look snazzy as I've seen a lot of peoples today screens look rather nice!
In practice it's not a pain... it's a touch screen so it becomes habit to touch the button or slide the slider as you pick up your phone in one motion.
I did have a go with slide2unlock but it didnt seem to work properly, might have to play with it some more.
I m trying to put xml code of 3evo default home screen (titanium bars) in xml home screen (my own).
But only i could see after that are titanium bars, every other bar, icon, plugin does not show up.
Message ookba, AlexSS, or Stlyez, perhaps NRG also although I haven't seen him around much lately. These guys can give you much better info via pm then feedback you'll get in a thread.

Everybody here talk about skins for titanium home but i want some theme about different-style-skins with traditional facade or fizz weather or some nice plugins.
Skin in "my production" use 3 tab - Facade, Fizz Weather, Contact-ing and some sms/mms/calls plugin and looks good but i want to do better, perhaps to set RSS news on today screen like on PPC or to get better weather plugin...
Hi Guys,
After living with Manilla ever since I got my TouchPro2 (I hate HTC Sense), I decided today to go back to the original Today Screen style, with 'Pocket Digital Clock' and 'Easy Today Launcher' doing the honours as useful plugins.
What I can't seem to find (and judging by a search in these forums and the internet nor can anyone else) is a simple one line plugin that displays Unread SMS/Emails and Missed Calls Counts, either as nice little icons, or just text.
I don't want to switch to HTC Home Plugin as that's too heavy for what I need.
I had a quick look at the MSDN samples and I'm sure I could have a crack at it, but it'd take me hours to even get a rough version working.... So, does anyone have a plugin that does what I need easily, or (long shot) does anyone fancy knocking one up for me?
Thanks in advance,
-Jar.
