Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 It's Friday, which means it's TALKING POINT time :) There was a very good response to my 'share your setup' post last week, so I thought i'd do something along similar lines today... 'share your Home / Today screen (Smartphone or Pocket PC!)' :) To get the ball rolling, here's a screenshot of my Pocket PC (courtesy of SOTI Pocket Controller), together with a top-to-bottom list of what you're looking at ;) P THEME: VistaBlissONE customised with white text (attached to this post) Top line, Batti battery status indicator, set to full width 1px frameless - doesn't show well on screenshot, looks fab on screen! [details] Top bar tweaked to clock instead of battery indicator using LVM Time [details] AKU 2 wireless plugin (renabled using registry, use CAB attached to this post to enable it on your AKU2 device!) Standard messaging plugin, with 'ActiveSync' account renamed to 'Exchange' SPB Diary, with messaging tab disabled, auto resizing, min size 90 [details] Resco Explorer Today Plugin [details] Screen Rotate Tray Icon enabled (use CAB attached to this post to enable it on your device) Custom soft keys (Messaging, New SMS) via registry edit VistaBlissONE.zip Wireless_Today.cab Screen_Rotate.cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chucky.egg Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Mr_Gee: You have to click "Add Reply" to add attachments - you cant do it in "Fast Reply" I'm playing with an O2 XDA IQ (Tornado smartphone) at the moment, and my home screen is a vanilla Kleindewer "WM5" homescreen. http://smartphone.kleinweder.ch/downloads/index.php My Wizard has a "Panther" theme (that's what it's called - there's no cheesy animal pictures or anything) which I got from PocketPC Themes http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/preview.asp?ID=58038 I dont have the Wizard to hand, but mine goes like this (top down): - Batti v2 - 3 pixels high, full width - Cruddy AKU2 battery meter, thanks for the LVM Time link Paul! - Spb Diary, with Calendar, Notes and Tasks. Messaging and Contacts tab disabled, but Unread Messages shown in the Calendar view - cLaunch with two Code Wallet links (Work and Personal wallets), PIE, pRSS and ... something else, I forget what.

Guest sporkguy Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm running on a Vario with the latest AKU 2x T-Mobile ROM. Line below the date and time is the wireless reghack - which Paul has already posted above :) Next line is the locker, then we have my calendar (I'm not an overly busy person, so I don't mind displaying one appointment at a time ) Then my emails/texts Line below that is Pocket MSN - handy access for when I'm out and about and it tells me when I have a message from a contact. Then my bottom line is Resco Explorer Today plugin - very handy. I'm using the 'Alfa' skin which is available for free to registered users. In my taskbar there is, from left to right: Pocket Contacts Pro, Comm Manager, Paul's screen rotation reghack My softkeys were changed using the T-Mobile utility that comes with the latest ROM (Start > Settings > Softkeys) and my theme was created by EriCharlz and can be found over on airfagev :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest juanmreyes Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm using drblow's Facade Homescreen, I have an Audiovox SMT5600 running WM3, so I miss out on a lot of the cooler home/today screens, but DrBlow's is one the best out there for nonQVGA devices.

Guest nickcornaglia Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I dont currently have a PPC, but I would like to add that no matter what Today screen plugin's I used...I always went back to basics in the end as I feel the SPB plugins caused havoc with memory. Not at first...but later it seemes my phone always deteriorated after time...until I uninstalled. PocketPlus seemed to be the biggest culprit. Shame...since I loved my black screen. Black screens always look great on the phone! PS...I couldn't upload an image either. I had to link it externally. And I did Add reply...not fast reply.

And from top to bottom: SPB Pocket Plus with tabs for SPB Weather, SPBToPlay (WMP controller) and SPB Diary. Today plugin from Resco Explorer PocketMax PhoneAlarm I don't know where all my RAM had vanished to at the point of the screenshot but it never normally gets that bad!

Today time plugin [details here] 3. Standard messaging plugin (Anyone know how to rename 'outlook email'?) 4. TaskPlus 5. VBar in the top right-hand corner.

Guest drblow Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Here's my current m600 screen ... all I use is WA2 with the xcilion vista theme, and pocketbreeze-ilauncher-pocketweather all from the fabulous sbsh. All the sbsh icons are my own design (& yes I will be making them available when they are finished!! :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil Lee Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) Here's mine: Main theme is Windows Vista Portable Edition QVGA by xcilion for Wisbar Advance 2.Main body of the display is SBSH PocketBreeze with hidden tabs. Other PB tabs include Tasks, Windows Messaging plugin, Windows Device Lock, SBSH PocketWeather, SBSH iLauncher, Special Events and Contact Breeze. I've also used xcilion's PB theme from Vista Portable Edition QVGA. The second screenshot shows one tab from iLauncher.The tray icons are Remote Display (for the screenshot), Bluetooth toggle by Vijay555, Memory Mangement (shortcuts via iLauncher) and Comms Manager.Messaging and New SMS added using latest T-Mobile ROMBackground theme produced by me using ThemeGenCE from an image downloaded from XCillionMedia_Center.zip Edited July 3, 2006 by Phil Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Co-pilot AND TomTom! Your sense of direction must be awful!!!!!!! Not that bad actually, but I always have a backup for my sixth sense for the evil cash cameras! :) When it comes to finding Pubs and Takeaways though the satnav gets switched off and I use my "on-board POI database" to get me there. ;) Well I can say that I have road tested the main Satnav products and two of them will be vanishing onto ebay shortly. TomTom is the favourite but has stability "issues" whereby it freezes randomly even with the latest patch. Anyway, that's for another topic. Hmm...seems like the Vista skin is popular - now I wonder how many people have bought Wisbar Advance just so they can use it? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) Ok here's mine... bit different from everyone elses I know, but I prefer a nice clean look to a lot of clutter (no offence guys!) Batti at the top of the screen, set to three pixels, been around for a while but still nothing better for simplicity and configurability LVM Time without the today screen plugin (thanks Paul for the link) Standard Calendar and tasks plugins Left softkey set to Matt Armstrong's device lock LINK excellent app that lets you set a hardware key to lock the screen instead of having a today screen plugin Right softkey set to Right Menu LINK an another great app I had from my Smartphone days, 100% configurable app that lets you assign a pop up menu to the right softkey Today theme is my own design which you can get from the downloads section Thats it!

Guest Phil Lee Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) Left softkey set to Matt Armstrong's device lock LINK excellent app that lets you set a hardware key to lock the screen instead of having a today screen plugin Thanks for the link to the lock program. I've been looking for something to do that for ages. I've now got it mapped to a long press of the Voice Dial button on my Vario and as an icon in the tray using iLauncher.

Guest Sonicr360 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 nedge2k Any chance of a link to the wallpaper you have - the back ground image. Also, can anyone confirm if the START MENU should look the SAME as teh today screen (All dark) as my Start MEnu appears to be white with slightly light grey text ! Thanks, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
