On my old phone (an original AT&T Tilt) I was running WM6 Pro w/ Opera Mobile 8.65 and Weather Watcher Mobile ( which is an awesome free download http://singerscreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Mobile.asp ) and everything worked and the world was beautiful. Now I've upgraded to the Tilt2 (love the phone) with WM6.5 Pro, Opera Mobile 9.7.35461 and the same version of Weather Watcher Mobile and, although the screens load for Weather Watcher, all the data (days of the week, temps, weather status icons etc) all display in an Opera window which 'respawns' itself every time I switch tabs or update the weather info. I'm fairly sure it has to be a setting in Opera but don't know which one. Has anyone had any similar issues? If so, how did you fix it? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
John
If I remember correctly, you have to make yourdefault browser IE -- I think WWM needs to work with IE rather than Opera, and I thin the only way to make that happen is to change the default browser to IE.
Pistou... you are awesome! I switched IE to my default browser and it works flawlessly once again. Thank you!

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.

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

hi all I've got this annoying problem: when I start the Opera browser in portrait mode every thing works fine. When I flip the device in landscape mode the Opera goes minimazed and the dialing screen pops. If I turn it back in portrait immediately the Opera is back again. I am shure that the problem is with the colored icons on topbar because without them Opera works fine. Tried different roms and the situation is the same. Only missing file is phcanOverbmp.dll because Total Commander denied to copy it in Windows folder but still the top icon bar works fine. Is it from the missing file or is it something else? Please advice me because I hate the original monochrome topbar icons for windows mobile. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays

Hi, i fixed this issue in my own ROM (see signature for a link).
TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0xWm8PMGQ
Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.
I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel
THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks
Thanks for this awesome app....
Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?
Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

This is not my application, but I realy love it and would share it with y'all.
Is it also possible to have TF3D together with SPB today screen combined whit SPB mobile shell?
Hi Guys,
i add a screenshoot just to share with you the result of this great app.
i have one question, maybe someone of you have the same problem.
i am running the "non TF3D" screen with Resco today plugin and launcher.....if i try to put a background (via setting Today, use picture as background...) no matter which kind of picture i choose, they are opaque.
cant figure out a solution.
thanks and Ciao!

Thanks cardefbel !!!
i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!
Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?
Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....
absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.
I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

Same issue here .. If anyone has a key..
I prefer to have this button for TF3D Home instead of going back to Today
Does anyone know how to set IE as the default browser? I have the AT&T Tilt 2, WM6.5 factory ROM. I have a program that is not compatible w/ the Opera browser, and I think I like the ability to switch between the 2 variants (modes) (desktop & mobile) of the IE browser.
Thanks,
Dave
tilt 2 default browser
It seems like this should be possible from the registry somewhere. But not everyone want so mess with the registry, or they don't have time to mess with other apps. The 'easiest' way I've found to do it is to launch IE, go to the options menu and tell it to ask if it's the default browser upon launch. Close IE, re-launch and make it the default browser. I had the same problem with an app working waaaay better with IE over Opera.
Search xda for a cab called FIXIE.cab. It will make your pocket IE the default browser.
im using miri's manilla 2.1 rom but i decided not to use touch flow 3d.
on the "today" screen(now looks like a long flashy list rather than tf3d), the default browser is internet explorer how can i change this to opera (by registry hack or with cabs)
did you ever sort this ?
