Show your Today Screen

Since every subforum has a topic about this, why wouldn't the Polaris subforum have one
Anyway, I'll start by posting mine:
Everything is clickable and runs the appropriate program.

Hello
-Htc Home 2.1 + Customizer
-Battery Status
-SPB Pocket Plus 4
-Quick Menu 2.7

Here are mine
Nothing much...
HTC Home, BatteryStatus & O2plus (for calendar display).
Not forgetting the background to match the plugins' placement.

Hi Texarcana....cool idea....how did you make it - what program did you use?

Very cool
Texarcana how did you make it? i never see one like yours today screan!
RLToday?

Yup. rlToday & photoshop for the layout and adjusting the default rlToday xml file

Here's mine.

Hey texarcana is there any chance of an upload of that skin?
It's just what I want- nice, clean and easy to read. But I'm a complete novice on the whole rltoday thing.

My Today Screen
I am using BatteryStatus and UltimateLaunch.

How did u do this... very good one

It was achieved with the HTC Home customiser, O2 Plus 2.3, today radio device toggler and a theme called ripple3.

Is it a way you can give your theme or today screen so that i can use it in my PPC.

The theme is ripple3 which I have attached, the clock and first row of 6 icons was achieved with the HTC Home plugin and customiser pack available here For the second row of icons I used O2 Plus 2.3 available here and use this for the bluetooth, wifi and phone switches. You just need to make them appear on your today screen in your today item settings.

@Texarcana - Spread the love dude...
That skin is awesome. I'll have to look into RLToday, but to echo the earlier point, it would really help if you could share your skin.
Thanks

Thanks for the tips and upload Boz, my TC looks a lot smarter now.

Post Your Today Screen!

Weird that we don't have this thread yet, but not a lot of traffic comes in here. So, post up your today screen(s).
I'll go first, here's my current. Simple and informative. I just need to change the icons for SmartMonitor to remove the gray boxes and it'll be good.

I really like the green battery & reception indicator at the top bar... What is that? WM6.1? Is there a way I can have it look like that on my HTC S710 with WM6.0?

It is Rinku's Iconbar.
You can see my homescreen in the Slide Themes thread. Currently it's Slide Abstract:

Yep, again it's Rinku's Iconbar, you can find an easy-to-install CAB in the thread that frauhottelmann started for his slide WM6.1 themes. Just install the cab (will work on 6.0 as I use it) and make the quick change to your home screen to include the new iconbar.

Hi,
Hawaii can u plz upload the homescreen files of your homescreen and list what plugins I need? It looks awesome!

I'll upload the files this weekend, plugins used are Facade and PocketWeather for the bottom bar with appts and weather and SmartMonitor and LCDPlug for the time and proc stats. The theme came from http://www.nectun.com, called HTC Diamond - I think it's by looby, I just removed the WiFi line and substituted with smartmonitor.

Yeah i downloaded the theme but i dont have the plugins u have and the nice Iconbar! plz upload tnx!

Attached is a copy of the theme and smartmonitor that I am using. Posted from my Vox, hopefully this works.

Thx.
I'm going to replace the missed calls plugin with the oxios task plugin.
Missed calls plugin never worked with me.

btw H4waii, What skin for smarttoolkit do you use?

It's called Blackie, should be available at the Smarttoolkit forums, made by dacoon. I'll find a link and post it later if you're unable to get it.

I can't get the weather forecast with your HTC Diamond.
I've installed PocketWeather sbsh and Facade but the forecast is missing.
How to activate it?

Post your Raphael Today Screen!

It seems like every device specific forum has one of these threads.
So, I thought why not making one for our Raphael!
I've disabled TouchFlo3D from day one. I just don't like it so much.
I've installed PocketBreeze, PhoneAlarm, and Wisbar Advance 3 with brand new Prot'n V2 skin by enCORe.
I'll start with mine:

It'd be nice if you also mention the programs/plugins we're seeing.

If not for TF3D I'm not so sure the Fuze is better than a lot of other PPC's out there, I LOVE it and couldn't leave it.

I love those TF3D tab icons, I just wish they were all colored instead of some color and some B&W.

Actually, the icon package is black and white for all inactive tabs, and goes color once you select the tab. The only exception is the one I have for the calendar tab, simply because I have an active tab icon that holds the day number within the icon. Therefore, someone with your setup would have all black and white inactive icons, and color on the tab selected.
Here's what it looks like when I go to the contact tab.

Awww yeahhhh, that's sick.

Ow alright, here is mine,
iphone Icons, Glass slider and Handwriting

The TF3D icon that pops up on startup? Schaps AdvancedConfig can stop that from showing on every boot.

Posted this elsewhere too under Touch Pro Themes - but as thats abot all Tab's thought I'd drop my "Home Screen here too, although I think the originator probably meant this for NON TF3D Today Screens?

How did you manage?

Work In Progress
Here's mine

[WM6.1 themes consideration] What's with those bars?

We started with this (kind of)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then we moved to this style, a little nicer.
Then WM5 happened, with a very nice interface.
Wow, Windows Mobile 6 looked great.
Wait, wasn't this CE 2000?
Someone must be wrong. I am, unfortunately, this is WM6.1
Can anyone tell me why this choice?

What forum are you in ?
These are my bars

I don't mean the icons (which I prefer flat white), I'm talking about the background color of the bars. With WM6.1 they went back to a solid color...
In 6.5 it'll be translucent, which is a good thing, it'll let us put the background we want behind them, but with 6.1 they're just flat

My theme in 6.1 has the same gradient that is shown in your 6.0 example. I would say it's probably the theme you have that's taken off the gradient.

It's weird, I use Mobile Shell to set colors, and on my old X500+ (cooked 6.1) mobile shell 2 uses the WM6-style gradients for themes, on my diamond Mobile shell 3 uses all flat colors.

It looks tempting, but I don't really want to waste more time in customizing the appareance of my phone. Color and wallpaper are enough =P

try other tsk theme, on WM6.1 looks same as WM6...

Smaller, but still finger friendly, menus for Treo Pro!

Some time ago, I have complained about the size of the menus in WM65.
After a little search, I was able to finally make it a little smaller, but still finger friendly.
The attached cab does that. Simply install it and you're all set.

fantastic, it really shows how much sense it makes! great job!
If anyone could redo the sms-chat typing space bigger that would be even better

This change will increase the SMS-Chat area. Look for a file in the windows directory called thread_sms.htm
Use a program such as Total Commander or Resco Explorer to edit the file.
Look for the line <inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
Edit the 35 value to say 70 and save. May need to soft reset.

Changing Themes
I installed this and worked great. I changed themes to a new one (I believe orange) and the menus were big again. I went back to the blue and it was also big.
1. Will this not work for other colors?
2. Will we have to keep reinstalling this for it work under blue?
Thanks for your hard work.

The thing is that this cab isn't a theme.
And unfortunately to use other colors it would require to edit the files that make up this cab.
I've tried to do it as a theme, but I didn't had any luck.

Okay, so if I want to have the smaller menus again, I would have to go back to the Classic Blue theme and then reinstall the cab?
