My WM6 device will show email, sms, and mms counts on three separated lines on the Today screen (plain WM6 display).
Is there any simple and light plugin which will show them as three icons on the same line (with count)?
I'm happy with other part of my today screen, just want this specific plugin.
Thank you
Try Batterystatus or Homescreen ++ as its more commonly known. I'm sure theres a skin for that and if not you can just remove everything else cause its a very light app.

What apps will show the # voice mails, emails, text, missed calls, right on the today screen?
I've been digging through googled sites for some time without much luck.
The only one I know is HTC....
there are tons out there.
rltoday
xiamultitheme
spb apps
todaylife
batterystatus
throttlelaunch
ifonz
there are more I'm sure...
One line
Thanks, I should be more specific, I was looking for something dedicated to just sms / vm / mc.
SPB Phone Suite, its not free but its good

Battery status
Battery status is now called HomeScreen_PlusPlus_UI

I didn't see any way to disable all the info besides sms / text / vm through the menus, but it is otherwise a cool today screen app.
iFonz looked pretty cool but it was rather intrusive, it wants to be on top all the time, like it should, but while configuring I think it needs a shut-up button.
rlToday is really cool but it does require a lot of XML editing. I'm working with it now. Its more that I was looking for but it is very nice.

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.

This is hopefully the best place to post this. I'm having a problem with my sliding panels display. The message panel isn't showing the texts/voicemails/missedcalls and such like it should. I've checked the chome registry entries against those same entries in the emulator roms for 6.1 and they match. The .cpr section for messaging panels seems ok (although they match, I don't see where it gets the information - I'm assuming there's some behind the scenes work being done).
Anyone have any ideas?
Pics of problem screens vs good screens (from emulator rom) attached. The first two images show how it looks on my screen. Very generic panels that show little information. The other two images show how it used to look.

hi, im not sure if this is the answer. i think that what you have activated on your screen is the "Message Center" plugin instead of the "Notifications" plugin. try to check if this is the answer.
hope it helps
That was the correct clue! I didn't see anything labeled Notifications but when comparing against the emulator images I noticed that in the place where I put the CMessages plugin there was a CHome plugin.
I fixed up my phone in this manner and viola!
THanks!

i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective

PK
Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks

That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..
Hi everyone!
I have just installed the tweak from the cab repository that allows your home tab background to be visible in all of the tabs... which I totally love!
The only problem is, if you choose a bright(ish) background, its very difficult to read a text message on the messages tab.
I was wondering, does anyone know of a way to add say, a PNG, that has a gradient/transparency fade behind the message text on the messages tab, as though it was a curtain kind of thing.
This would allow the background to show through, yet still allowing a message to be read!
Thanks for you help in advance. I'm pretty new to this all so I have not a clue about where to begin!
sat
that's a good idea, since i face the same problem
Or add an A4 paper behind the message, like in the email tab. That woul be really nice
if someone could make a mod that lets you add a gradient curtain thingy and wrap it up in a cab, I'm sure people will be willing to donate a few £s... I definitely would be.
transparent background on messaging tab makes sms, etc. unreadable
I have been working on this one for weeks now, I've been able to change a whole lot in manila except for this freakin' unreadable white text in the messaging tab, when you've got the transparent backgrounds enabled. Indeed it would be very nice to have like a curtain thing on this tab to properly show your messages
Issue is driving me
If there's someone that is able to do this or even help me along the way,
it would keep me from a mental breakdown (sleepless nights are killin'ya)
