Show us your pictures of your customised XDA Live Today screen!

I started this thread for a bit of fun to see peoples customised Hermes Today screens, here is mine! I used Screensnap to capture the Today screen. If you want to know how it is done just ask! This is on a HTC Tytn (Hermes 200) running XDA Live. Don't be shy, I have shown you mine now show me yours!
Edit:- see my post further down to get cab files for O2 plus 2.3 and the blue flame .tsk wallpaper, it will work with any WM5 or WM6 pda/phone on any network as far as I know .

Mine is basic,
Ive toned it down from the action packed plugins I had on WM5.
Everything on one screen at a glance.

Skinned
Hi,
Here is my today screen. Captured using Soti Pocket controller pro. This program is also perfect for controlling your PDA from a desktop. The skin is quite basic but all the plugins can be used with the scrollwheel. Onehanded navigation to the fullest.
Items on today screen:
-Batti 2.1 (the small battery bar on the top of the screen)
-Calender+ (Much better than the standard callender - Mohair Sofa software)
-SPB Time
-TOMTOM Navigator 6.0 (all of europe)
-Agile Messenger
-IP Dashboard
-Skype for Mobile
Items on Taskbar
-Photo Contacts Pro (Perfect for switching riger profiles)
-Task Manager
-Battery Icon (Standard)
-Comm Manager (Standard)
Background Photo
-Tail of a F28 Mk1000C aircraft from "Presidencia de la Nacion" Argentina. Skin mas made using ThemeGenCE. and is full portrait and landscape compatible.

By the way I used O2 plus 2.3 for the Today screen icons which has only a small memory footprint and will work on any WM5 or WM6 pda/phone on any network.
The Today blueflame theme and O2 plus 2.3 are available for download below.

Will this version of O2 plus work on non O2 phones? eg Vario II on t-mobile?
thanks

Using a custom WMXL Blue Skin. If u guys like tell me ill send to kyphur and have him include it in .30 It may seem purpulish but like in all screens dark blue comes out like that while it looks beautiful on phone.

Here is my main Today screen...
Not to much on it:
Just SPB Mobile Shell with Pocket Breeze in the first tab, and the standar batery tab, messaging and weather tabs.
The theme is one made by myself with a picture of Venezia

Nice! is it possible just to have just the clock and calender bar in a smaller size, as I want it to fit on a smaller bar.

Here is my today screen.
Wisbar and advance desktop.

Does the hermes run WIsbar adv 2 flawlessly?? doesn't it take too much resources and slows it down too much?

X-Tended manila Startmenu -now 50 items instead of only 30

Touch X Xtended StartMenu -add shortcuts to startmenu, now 50 shortcuts, original is 30. (you must add the name and shortcut in regestry to get the last 20 to work, im working on a program for that) View attachment 202860

20 contacts on Sense 2.5

Is there any cab available to turn the 15 contacts icons on the "contact" tab of the new Sense 2.5 to 20 icons? I'd like to have more people in there.

I would second that
the shortcuts are little too big for me
and needs to be more

+ 1
If there is a cab for it I would love to have it

Should be possible, but don't know how. They got it working for the shortcuts on the homescreen also.....

+1 WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS!
Please some1 should be able to do this if they can do it for quick links.

i am waiting for it too!

Bump to the top pls develupers!

Unsure if this is possible. Maybe to increase to add more to it.. but not the resize.
Once you resize.. (such as the 4 on home page...) you cannot add contacts with pictures. It simply shows a blank pic. Program Icons show ok... not contacts..

this would be nice, also the program launcher on the home screen could be more than just the 9

Using miri rev 11 contact pics showed correctly when using the extra shortcuts on homescreen.. but unfortunately not in the later builds...
Anyway i would also like extra contacts or resized would be even better

+1that would be good to have

What about this? Not exactly what you want, but what goes

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552558

avatar is nice...but only 12 icons...

My contacts tab in Manila si disabled and I use Iconsoft PhonEx. You can put so many contact pictures as you like and slide them up and down

..........

that looks like another nice app...but $25 USD for an app that shows icons on the screen ??!!! That's too high for ANY pda software in my opinion - it should come with a lifetime supply of chocolate bars!
I ask the question;
People buy a pda for many reasons but for most people one of those reasons is to communicate with their contacts. Why then should we have to pay extra money for software that simply displays a good viewable list of our contacts?? The real answer is we shouldnt. If I get spare time I'm going to write a .NET app that does it and providing it here for free. I hate how hard HTC have made it to customize manilla.

PLEASE is there a small monthly calendar display???

Is there ANY where I can find a way to display a small calendar of the month on the TODAY screen??
I see small analog clocks by the hundreds. But not ONE little 31 day calendar anywhere.
It would be great to have an analog clock AND the month displayed maybe with holidays highlighted,
and a click-able appointment maker when you 'touch' the day.
Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 WinMo ver. 6.1
Thank U (x) 100 for any help!

Why would this be necessary when we already have the calendar tab?
Use Outlook to insert your country's public hoildays.
If you want quick access to this tab, just tap on the "Calendar" link under "Call History" on your home tab. Or you can just position the calendar tab as one of the first 5 tabs so that you can just tap on it on the slider bar.

I am too lazy to have to press a tab to do that.
That and I want to be able to see both the calendar
and other screen items at the same time.
I COULD make a background pic that shows a 'static' month but...
gee... it's a computer... I'm not smart enough to program a cool
dynamic calendar myself though.

RLCalendar will do what you want and is freeware.
It will display a calendar is all no holidays highlighted and no clicking on it for anything but it will show a monthly calendar.

Thx but I have installed both the rlCalendar CAB AND the rlToday CAB on
my touch pro 2 and I can not see either app in programs or settings
even after rebooting.

RLCalendar will only work with the old Today screen of WM 5-6.1 it won't work for WM6.5 after installing the cab you have to go to settings>today and turn it on and configure how big or small you want it.

Yep. I got that; WM 6.1 on this Verizon TP2.
When I open Today->Programs I see no rl-anything, rlToday or rlCalendar.
But when I open Today->Settings->System->Remove Programs, they are
displayed and listed in there:
"rotlaus Software rlToday" & "rlSoft rlCalendar" are in the 'list' of removable programs.
However when I go to Today->Settings->Personal->Today->Items and look at all the items I can turn on...
I see no items on the list that read rlToday or Today or rlCalendar or rlSoft or anything like these programs.
Just the normal items like TouchFLO 3D, Messaging, Device Lock, etc. etc.
I appreciate the help you are trying to give. I think I've finally found a device that validates
my dumb as a rock persona.

Hmm weird, I haven't tried it with WM 6.5 since I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has a nice calendar widget. Might give it a shot this weekend for you and see if I can get RLCalendar to work.

Don't do. I appreciate the thought and effort. But don't just for me please.
I have loaded a number of 'today' add-ins ( and uninstalled them ) when
they screw with my display res. or pixel widths or something.
Not worth it.
I downloaded the 'trial' SPB Shell program and calendar and I will play with that
thank you.
Maybe somebody else has fought this rlProgram wheel and will add feedback.
Thx again.

i780: 96 DPI vs 128 DPI - Weapon of Choice

Hello to all, who can not decide yet, what DPI is better: 96 or 128.
I did two series of shots, identical with screen contents, one series with WM 6.5 build 23540 128 DPI, and second with WM 6.5 build 23544 96 DPI.
Build numbers means almost nothing in context of DPI, differs only picture#35 because of different comms managers cooked in ROMs.
So look side by side and decide, what is good or evil
My opinion is what screen of i780 is not big enough for WM 6.5. On some pictures, for example: 40, 41, you can see nasty example of UI at native 128 DPI in WM 6.5.
On the other side, 96 DPI is small... it is readable, but too small to be happy.
File located on FTP server in Riga, Latvia. Filesize is 19,069,371 bytes.
DPI_Test_SGH-i780.zip

Is not good is not bad.
I like higher resolution graphics on 128 dpi but it fits for me at 96.

i LIKE the 96 DPI !!!!!

i use the 128dpi 28232build now.

Caveat Emptor
I like 96DPI also, if ROM build does not contain any artifacts, but what i must to feel, when I installed very good-looking and useful program like Shopping List v3.10 and can see on screen only 2 items from list at once?
I say - I need to buy Samsung i8000 or HTC HD2. This solve such problem.
Or I need to pray, what somebody will port all useful programs to 96DPI for i780 square screen. Am I right?
P.S. LOL! On first screenshot there is one more tab, which does not fit screen at all - Go Shopping!, so I'm even unable to start shopping.... Definitely, I need "Go Shopping" new phone

Little bit offtopic:
Why are the objects on the display bigger in 128dpi as in 96dpi?
Afaik the objects in 128dpi has to be smaller then the 96dpi
e.g. the symbols on 800x600 are smaller the in 640x480.
