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

ae seems no setting for time, maybe try VITO PopupClock

As above. I've had a quick search and a bit of a google but I can't see anything. The ideal thing would be a plugin that displays a simple list of tasks on the desktop, with or without close buttons.
Thanks

"Elecont Pocket PC and Smartphone Manager"
says
"Windows-like taskbar on Home and Today screen"
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...askmanager+pocketpc&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=
this was the search that gave the result if you want to find more
u can try QuickMenu it replaces the old start menu and shows processes that are running (you can close them also).
Thanks for the replies!
I downloaded and tried the Elecont program but I didn't like it visually! The others found in google were the ones I'd previously passed over - I couldn't see any good Today plugins.
Had a look at quickmenu too but it duplicates a lot of the features I've already got with SPB Pocket Plus. I'm after a simple, at-a-glance plug in rather than a menu.
Cheers anyway.
I would suggest you check out ValkSoft's True Toolbar.
http://www.valksoft.com/TrueToolbar.html
It gives you a toolbar at the bottom of your screen much like windows on a pc. You can hold on any of the icons for a context menu which includes a close option. It is an application I use on my WM5 device every day.
wkTask
It's not a Today plugin but it makes a proper taskbar that can switch tasks and close them, even force terminate. It also has a launcher, volume/brightness control, and battery meter. Very customizable. And best of all it's free.
Thanks guys, DevState 1.5 (WM5 version) does the job.
I'd seen it before but didn't realise it was so configurable - I've set it so that it shows large icons for each task along with a memory summary. Clicking on the memory summary now launches Advanced Task Manager.
Is it possible to show more appointments on the TF3D Home Tab......??

that's the reason why I use SPB mobile shell
with this program you can see appointments up to 31 days!
on your today screen!

I second that, Mobile Shell all the way!
Please stay on topic
The question is how to get more than one appoinment on TF3D...
If you create more than one appointment in same day, you'll see on TF3D, the question is how to show different days...
Cheers
EDIT:
I beleave i fiind the answer....
The key is the calendar today plug-in. TF3D shows the same you see on the today calendar plug-in, so go and change settings in calendar plug-in (the plugin is disabled, but no problem...) and in options, mark the option to show more than next appointment. Create two appointments, one today and anothed one tomorrow. Restart the TP

Erm, if you swipe your finger upward on the home screen, you get a smaller clock and more appointments..

Have you tried yourself? Even if I make the clock smaller I can still see only the next appointment. I have also tried fiddling with the Calendar settings for the Today plug-in to choose "upcoming appointments" instead of "next appointment" but it doesn't make any difference. And what's even worse is that if the next appointment is not today or tomorrow then nothing shows at all. Tipically on a Saturday I don't have appointments until the next Monday and nothing is shown on the home screen.
To me this is definitely one of the most annoying things of TF3D.

yeah.... both of the suggested solution doesn't work.... I tried it......
People, you are confusing about the issue at hand here: do you mind flicking the screen up to see more than one of today's appointments (a minor issue in my opinion) or do you want to be able to see, say, appointments for the next 5 days (of course you'd have to flick the screen, but this would be a lot more convenient). Nothing on the diamond forum either, a lot of threads about the same subject though. This looks like a pretty app, but as far as my searching capabilities go no solution yet
no solution here too, and can anyone get the tasks to show on TF3D too?
I would love to see my tasks too.

Yep, it works for me. It displays current and the next appointment.
Of course I have to make the clock smaller to see that. It would be nice if we could show even more appointments this way and scroll through them easily.
Or reamove the godd... ekhm, BELOVED, "No missing calls" row and have more space for appointments in the first place.
Why don't you just install SecondToday (it's free) and then remap one of the buttons to go to SecondToday?
SecondToday adds a second today screen, where if you install TodayAgenda (it's also free) you can see all your upcoming calendar items/tasks for whatever period you specify...
This works perfectly for me...

But that only works if both appointments are happening today! There is no way to see two appointments if they are both happening tomorrow.

It just shows todays appiointment and the first one tommorow.
I believe it works exactly the same way the standard today plugin does - or even fetches that plugin's results / settings.
Instead of tweaking this "two appointments today or tommorow", let's focus on getting MORE THAN TWO appintments, e.g. all of them for the next 5 days.

Well for some reason this is not the behaviour on my phone. If I disable TF3D and use the standard Calendar plug-in in the Today screen I see all the "upcoming" appointments while in TF3D I can see only see the next two appointments and actually only one if these two appointments fall in different days. So the TF3D information is not the same as in the standard today plug-in.
Please hurry up with inventing a solution for the appointment issue. In 3 weeks my new THD will be there and i really want to see all upcoming appointments ao the next 2 days. Today i use my beloved Wizard 100 with calendar+ (Xions WM6.1 ROM ). I will really miss this kind of visual reminding for any appointments.
you can keep your beloved feature - if you continue using your beloved tool calendar+ with second today

after tomorrow (sometimes it's birthday or something importent to know 2 days b4) , but the LAME TF3D show me just today and tomorrow...
Has anyone found a solution to have more upcoming events visible on the TouchFlo3D home-screen? Below the clock is only one, or sometimes 2 items visible. I'd like to have more, like possible in Today-agenda, or similar.
I allready installed second-today, with today agenda. Which works ok-ish, but it asks for an extra click etc. Wouldn't it be nice to have the option to have more upcoming events integrated in the normal TouchFlo3D screens?

This has been asked quite often in the past months and no one was able to provide a solution yet. At least not for the Touch Pro.
this is real annoying... you would think it would be some simple registry edit...
i have the same problem and few others. on my tilt i have about a week of notification, i mean that the the item is displayed on the today screen for like a week. on pro its only 1 day. and the last one is when i click on calendar from the tf 3d screen, it always goes to day view and not month. i already changed the calendar options for month view. what should i do?

Hmmm, too bad? Or yet another impulse for renewed searching for a solution? Even the TyTnII I had before the Touch Pro had more items in sight. And one'd assume it's a registry setting somewhere. Anyone with good insight in that?
If your own the "home" screen and slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen the clock will become smaller and it will show more appointments.
-Tim
If I slide the clock up to make it smaller on the "Today" screen I do get the smaller clock but still just the 1st cal. event of the day and no others, even on days with 5-6 meetings set. I wish this were the case for me. It seems like the intended function for this smaller clcok view. I liked the WM Today view with the Cal. events on the Today screen but like the TF3D too much to give it up because of this Cal. issue.
Vito has finally released Winterface 1.3 mobile shell, with a second skin and full screen toggle. See here: Vito Winterface 1.3 Released
wow - I like this a lot - the only minor quibble is that the email notification does not seem to work.
I've had that before too. It was listed as fixed for this release. Did you send it to support yet?

Hopefully they'll fix it so - I really like this program.
I dnt like it. Everyone is trying too hard to be like iphone. I love windows interface "we dont want to be iphone. We want to be different n better"

I doubt that was the thinking behind it as the current windows interface was designed about eight years before the iphone appeared...
I just think it's a lot simpler - a grid is the ideal format for a phone.
Unfortunately this version of Winterface seems to have introduced a host of new bugs. I've used it since v1.0 and each release has been fairly stable for me, this one not at all. Crashes, strange bugs limiting the number of icons per screen and icons randomly rearranging on restart, quirks with the lock/unlock feature... all experienced after a hard reset and not an update. Pretty bad, to the point I pulled it off my device until the bugs get quashed (I made my bug reports and was informed v1.3.1 is already underway). Also the new bright skin uses h-u-g-e buttons/icons and really limits usability in comparison to the dark skin.
Going back to 1.2 for now
Be aware that if you load 1.3 and take a look at the new white skin with the new huge buttons your buttons and screens will be rearranged. If you go back to the black skin they will NOT go back to the way you had them
email notification and vm notification seemed to be cross linked. Constant errors and program crashes. For the new skin and a few minor new features it is not worth the time to install.
I hate that whenever you open a program and then close it it closes winterface as well. I also don't like that you cannot change which programs are opened when hitting button (like calendar opening thumbcal or hitting the clock and open gAlarm) And When you add programs the icon styles never match (with any version of winterface)

To get Winterface back when you are viewing a different program, you don't have to close it but press Ok-button instead. This is the way Windows Mobile works. Anyway, you have that big Winterface button on your today screen to return to Winterface in a split second.
The programs launched by those buttons is determined by the default programs registered in your device I believe. When I use AgendaOne and set it as the default calendar program, this is the one that will show up when I tap the Calendar button.
I've been skinning my Winterface since version 1.2 thanks to the skins posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455254
I have been pushing for a "top bar" displaying notifications, time, signal, etc for awhile so I was excited to hear about the 1.3 release, however I think VITO failed by reducing the number of icons/page when the top bar is displayed rather than resizing them or squeezing them together a bit. Even though I very much wanted the top bar, I am forced to continue to use Winterface in full screen mode because of the poor allocation of screen space when the top bar is displayed.

Hey oVan - are you saying that when you click the interactive calendar icon (the one that shows the current date and how many appts you have) that you got it to open AgendaOne from its popup screen? I've been trying to get this icon to open ThumbCal and have had no luck at all.
I've set Thumbcal as default calendar, changed the calendar.lnk in the start menu to launch Thumbcal, created a calendar.exe (using mortscript) that launches thumbcal and put that in the Windows folder all with no luck.
Can you please confirm you have this functionality because I didn't think this was possible?
Thanks
Winterface freezes
Hi,
I try to use Winterface 1.3 in my HTC Wizard, but it was keep freezing my phone. I had to reset my phone at least 3 times everyday. I decided to remove 1.3 version and put the version 1.2 back and it's been working fine. Did anybody else experienced the same problem?
