Display Seconds and World time in Homescreen - General Topics

Hi all..
Is it possible to display seconds after the hour, minutes and in front of the AM/PM display in the homescreen clock of a SMARTPHONE?
You know, like hh:mm:ss tt format?
I tried this in the HKLM/nls/overrides entry, but it only shows hh:mm tt, seconds are not displayed.
If the seconds are displayed, does it take more battery power, due to the constantly changing display?
Also is it possible to display atleast one world clock in the SMARTPHONE today screen by using some xml edit, and without using another plugin? If not, with a plugin? I searched everywhere, but none seemed to have a good smartphone plugin.
Codecity CityTime was said to have one plugin in 1.5, but now they are 2.0 and dont seem to have a SMARTPHONE homescreen plugin. And I cant find the 1.5 version anywhere either.
BTW, my device is a samsung blackjack2 (SCH i617)
Thanks guys..
Regards
Steve

for clock with seconds on home screen, i use Pocket Digital Clock
for world clock, i use SPB Time

Thanks, but it didnt work in my smartphone. Guess its for Professional

maybe it' time to get a professional phone? haha

Not that netnerd, I already have two Professionals (the latest being Tilt which you should know being in USA), but I find this more handy, thats why

What time is it ? how do you reply to it with your PocketPC

Have you ever had a nice girl or someone asking you the time ?
surely yes. And I guess that most of you like myself do not wear a watch anymore and use their PocketPC instead.
Does any one know an application that could be assigned to a button to display the clock in FULLscreen mode. And then just pressing on the screen (or pressing the button again; a toggle button would be nice) would go back to the previous use of the PocketPC.
This way to would be easy to show the clock in fullscreen without having to start a heavy application.
Any suggestions for such an application?
Don't know about an app, but why not have the clock to always show in the titlebar?
I have the clock in the titlebar, but when you want to show the time to someone in the street it is too tiny, too small for the eyes.
rlToday looks really nice, but what I would like is just a pop with the clock. I have already too many stuff on my today screen, no space available.
I have just tried Spb Time, the screensaver screen would be perfect, but does someone know our I could launch the Spb Time screensaver screen with the push on a button ?
For this I need to find the command that does start it.
I Think u should try using Spb Mobile Shell...it's definately the right choice for ur need..
Try SPB Mobile Shell
Just released, adds a NOW screen when you turn on complete with clock. Press a soft key to go to today screen.
Using on mine, like it a lot.Only works with WM5.

That looks quite nice. Just for comparisons sake with wisbar, does it allow multiple today screens or just the "now" screen and a "today screen"

it is quite nice... especially when driving! but it does only allow 2 screens, the today and the now screen.
Mike, Wisbar Desktop could be a solution, you are right.
I have actually tried it a long time ago, but thought it was just a nicer way to display shortcuts to launch application. Am I wrong or I haven't looked at it enough. I prefer to use the start menu to launch application (I use WA2 by the way, and the cascading start menu feature is really Nice).
Can you have 2 normal today screen with WAD and switch with one hardware button from one another?
I have also looked at Spb Shell, and it seems to me that it is a way to get a simplified and more nice looking PocketPC. But I find the default WM5 today screen more convenient, and I would have to remove WA2 (I guess they can not run both at the same time..)
The other issue it that if someone ask you the time, you have to quit what you were doing to display the clock on the today screen.
Hi Mike, So as I can see with WAD you can create several desktops, create you own shortcuts. But still I prefer to use WA2 cascading start menu.
As enclose I made a screenshot of my today screen. I thought again, what I really need is a kind of screensaver with the clock so that anyone not accustomed to using a PocketPC is not lost with so many things (I guess that even the top and the bottom bar displayed can be annoying) and can just read the time. I going to investigate the command that has to be used to start 'Chronos' screensaver.
try ae button plus

favourite today weather

what are peoples poisons ?
how many are free?
personaly i find the only show 1 days weather like the default touch plugin seem to do kinda useless unless you work underground and cant look out the window
it's what tomorrow and the day after brings that i wanna know about
SPB Weather is the one I have gone back to time and time again, although saying that I don't currently use it.
The problem I find is that whatever it says changes from morning to afternoon since weather is so unpredictable.
Now I simply use weather plugins on www.google.com/ig and view that on Opera.
I'm still using PocketWeather with the radar images configured on my Today Screen. I have two images for each city -- one regional and one local so I know what's coming during the day and how long it will take for anything showing on the regional radar to get here. I also have it set to update weather conditions and radar images every 15 minutes so the info is always up-to-date. . . wouldn't leave home without it.

Looking for a Plugin - suggestions please?

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a today screen plugin, that will display 2 different time zone clocks on the today screen. My every day is spent jumping back and forth between different time zones, and I'd like to have something that shows me MY Time zone, and then the visiting time zone.
The clock built into WM6 has that whole "time" and "visiting time" ... but I'd love to have something on my today screen.... I guess I'm looking for something similiar to what "worldmate" and "spbtraveler" type of programs have where they show a bunch of clocks for different time zone, but I'd like that showing all the time on my today screen.... has anyone seen anything like that anywhere?
thanks
dD
try rlToday? You can setup several digital or analogue clocks and I think you set a GMT offset... could be wrong though.

how abt spb time.
You could try the Samsung Clock today plugin. It has an option to display clocks showing the time in your home and visiting time zones.

two different plugins with different times each?

a little analog Clock on Today Screen

i used to see the other ones today-screen on the web. it's look like
a little analog clock like a symbian style it just use 2line of today-screen with date. because now i'm using HTC Home but it' use half of screen.
what does programs he/she use ?
sorry my english not well, Thank.
More than likely it's either, SPB Time (but you have to pay for it), Samsung Time, or rltoday. Rltoday is probably the best of them (my opinion) since you can completely customize it to look the way you want it to look, as long as you have a little knowledge in how to edit an xml document.
HTC Plus is smaller than HTC Home and it can be run with or without the launcher, claiming back even more real eatate on the screen.
thank you

task display on today screen

Hey, looking for a program that will display my tasks on the today screen regradless to their due date or if they even have a due date. A simple list of tasks...
Is there such a thing?

try ultimate launch. it's related to other launch programs like ilaunch or claunch. the big difference is for each tab / window you can put a today plug in.
with that i have 5 tabs on my screen using ultimate launch. the first is a simple analog clock, the second is the today speed dial plug-in, the third has ilaunch where i can position the short cuts in any area i want, the fourth has a 3-month calendar and the 5th is a list of my tasks. i remember i used "today agenda" or something like that for the task plug in.
