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:

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.
Gents,
Is there a way to have additional tabs in Manilla with e.g. today screen from WM ?
I had PocketBreeze in my old smartphone and loved it. I'd like to have this in Touch HD without disabling Manilla.
Thanks,
Smartin
Your answer is called Second Today
Second Tab in Manilla
Hello
You can use a program called SecondToday which will allow you to have both TF3D and the normal windows Today screen.
Perform a search of this forum and you will find information as to where to get the software and how to install it.

Is there a good replacement for viewing all your applications?
I like the iphone style where applications are sorted by category. I also like how you can change category with kinetic finger sideways flicks.
If you're looking for the Iphone interface you should check out Mallmans WAD2 (Wisbar Advance Desktop by Lakeridge) Iphone theme found at his site www.swampthing.net.
Also you should check out Winterface by Vito. There is a thread here at XDA called - Make your HD completely finger-friendly! - Maati has a video of what his setup looks like and how it performs on his HD.
Hope this helps
Winterface looks kinda like what I want. Except it replaces touch flo I think. I would ideally like to keep touch flo going and have multiple application tabs! I don't think thats going to happen tho.

Right. TouchFlo 3D will have to be set aside if you want to use Winterface. TouchFlo doesn't integrate very well yet with other today plugins.
I found another option. it has categories which you side swipe.
its called TouchLaunch There is a delta version which seems to have some extra functions to modify the scroll speed on about pg 22.
you need to install the modified diamond wvga skin by aussiebum which you install over azimuth21s diamond skin from the first page for it to work
Someone got M2D App launcher working on their hd, its not quite right but it looks exactly what i'm after... unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to get it working.
Can be one of the softkeys mapped to open the Programs list - the default WM 6.1 program list. I'm not using TouchFlo, nor any other shell. I'm using Resco Contact Manager with its Today plugin and this functionality is only thing missing to have my HD really touch-friendly and lightning fast.
Please, advice. Thanks.
Well, after much effort, I was able to get Manila (TouchFlo) 2D installed and somewhat operable on my Samsung SCH-i760. I like it much better than the normal Today Screen for WM 6.1. The problems I have now are... well, I'll just list them below in order of importance (to me).
1. I cannot add any contacts in the "People" tab. When I slide over to the tab, there are the little icons with + signs on them like you're supposed to touch to create a new contact. The problem is when I touch one of those icons, all it does is highlight for like half a second.
2. I cannot add programs to the "Programs" tab. It's the exact same problem that I have with the "People" tab. I touch one of the icons with a plus sign on it, and it just highlights for a second.
3. I cannot change the skin no matter what I do! I have tried installing the .cab skins, and tried using M2DC with .m2dct skin files and it just won't work.
In case you're wondering, I am using mbarvian's patched Manila 2D v2.0 build 19171723 cab. And like I mentioned above, I am using a Samsung SCH-i760 with WM 6.1 Professional running.
Anyone with any insight or advice please let me know! I really appreciate it!
Thanks and God Bless!
