Hello, I made the jump from my trusty (and ailing) Blue Angel to a P6500 with WM6. One of the thing I miss is the new shortcut that was on the bottom right that let me create new spreadsheets, word documents, appointments, contacts, messages, and especially notes on the front screen.
I used that phone and got quite used to that ans am rather fond of that feature. I am using soft keys to open notes on the frony page but then I have create a new from there. Has anyone created a program to composed of new shortcuts or better a menu that can be placed there?
Or even replace the bar with an 2003-like system tray that would have WIFI short and something I could use pocketsyswatch on?
...at the very least a shortcut to make a new note I can set as a soft key?

I am looking for some freebie software that will launch a large icon style menu... for an example:
SPB Mobile Shell replaces the left softkey with it's own menulauncher.exe file - which brings up a 3x3 icon screen - giving you 9 spots to fill in whatever app you want to open...
I want to assign this program using Wisbar Adv 3 - to the right softkey... so I can easily hit the softkey with my thumb and get huge icons to bring up my most commonly used appz with the touch of my thumb - quickly and easily... I do NOT want it to be on my TODAY page.... I perfer the clean look on the today page and have all the plugins there that I care for... I just want a menu to pop up that I can control with my thumb easily... I got a program called "Saman WM5NewMenu" which is CLOSE - but it isn't easily clickable by thumb.... doable, but not easy, nor does it have icons, etc...
Anyone else found this desire and have a solution? Help is always appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hi all.
Kind of new to this all, and just fumbling my way through everything.
I have ThrottleLauncher loaded on my AT&T Tilt, along with Touchflow3d (and TFlow3D_gullum)
And after seeing the youtube clip on the .9 beta and what it can do, I am finding that I cannot get my phone to really respond in all the ways that I'm seeing in the video. Maybe Im missing some plugins or something else, but here are some questions:
First is the main toolbar at the bottom. Whenever I touch it and want to slide it around to get to specific icons, it doesnt really rotate, it just kind of slides a bit and then activates something. I'm not able to scroll around on it unless I use the directional pad on the phone. Also, is it possible to 'replace' programs that launch with the icons? For example, instead of the Phone's contacts launching, can I get it to launch my 'Good' software contact list? Or with the music player, I am using FlipSlide. Can the music icon be reset to launch Flipside instead of the windows media player?
Can those icons on the bottom be put in any specific order?
I also see in the .9 beta video, that you can flip the middle of the screen by the clock to see different clock views or appointments, etc... Not sure which version or theme that is.
I guess my biggest question is how do I get the bottom toolbar to actually scroll instead of activating things, and can that bottom bar be customized to point to other apps?
Thanks.
If I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please let me know.
Hello. I am a bit unhappy Touch PRO user because I love touchflo interface but would like also to use system tray-controlled software like openvpn or vsUtil.
I already installed secondtoday (also replaced the "Phone" softkey with it) but there is no way to make REAL tray icons appear there, only fake launcher stuff with Homescreen PLusPlus. The way left to access tray-controlled apps is to quit tochflo today plugin thru loooong series of taps thru settings.
I-d love an alternative such as make real tray icons still appear in Secondtoday or a lightweight tray icons porting popup app. Any other ideas/clues how to get an easy access to tray icons from touchfo....
Thanks for reading
Looking forward to hear Your thoughts
I agree.
My office forces us to use the Good email system. That software uses its own version of the email client, calendar and contacts. I'd like to reassign the tray "buttons" to point to the Good programs rather than being stuck with quick links to now unused versions of email, calendar and contacts.

Hi,
did you find a solution to the problem in the meantime?
Without the trayicons i have to choose between a pretty finger-enabled gui or using my universities WLAN.
Kind regards,

i assume you are talking about enlargetitlebar which which gives you easier hits on the "system tray" notifications. you should be able to disable it in the registry. mess around in hklm\software\htc. there might be an enable dword you can set to 0. i dont have it installed on my rom and i kind of miss it so i may try to get it back on my next flash.
No, i refer to the system tray at the bottom of today screen as shown in this screenshot.
The manilla interface is drawn on top of it and theres no easy way to access it. I have to disable touchflo in the settings, then start openvpn and afterwars reactivate touchflo. This is annoying... too bad openvpn relies on this.
oh yeah. forgot all about that thing. havent seen it in years. try a tf3d to today switcher thing. ive seen ones that it changes the left home tab soft key to the words "today" which lets you have a second today screen and today items and i guess the system tray too along side tf3d. ill try to find it again.

@The Jack of Clubs:
Thanks so much! This works for me, i can switch between classic today screen and manilla rather fast!

like the title really,
I couldn't wait to get my hands on my TP, however soon after I got it I realised that TF3D seemed to be all form and no function.
I immediately replaced it with Mobile Shell which I find much easier to use.
for example, when I want to phone someone, I hit the contacts button and I have a screen with 16 faces, I hit one and press call. In TF3D, I have to hit (or scroll) to the contact button, then scroll down again to find the person etc.
For text messages, I like to have the list on the screen that I can easily scroll through. In TF3D I can see one at a time only.
The downside...is that MS seems to be lagging behind on the themes front, and I like to have a theme that matches my mood...which is xmas at the moment.
so, my real question is what wonderful options are available to make TF3D more usable?
Unfortunately you don't have many options if your talking about changing the way that TF3D functions. There are a number of speed increases, and a few small tweaks such as the zoom function cab that lets you increase and decrease the size of the text messages in TF3D. If you like having all the contacts on one scren though, TF2D is like that. All the pictures are laid out like tiles. But with TF3D you can just click the contacts button on the bottom right of the screen and pull up all your contacts. TF3D wasn't really meant to be a full-fledged os; just a today plugin that you could use to see a good amount of information.
SPB replaced mine as well
Moved to Fuze (p4600) from p3600. Was using SBP mobile shell. Tried tf3d for about 2 weeks. HATED IT. Looks pretty, but takes too many steps to get to real work. Back to a snappy SPB Mobile Shell on my Fuze.

has there been a way to change these yet?
such as contacts id like to have it launch icontact and the notes one to launch evernote
Yes, when I've tried different TouchFlo themes, some have changed, for example, the email button so that it opens a new email instead of opening the inbox.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet, however my guess is that you need to search the forums about making changes to the 'manila' files that reside in your Windows directory.
In the short term, I can however tell you how to change the two landscape soft keys (I have one set to open a new SMS to my girlfriend - barf - and the other toggles wifi on and off.....
