Look for claunch it's the first adress regarding freeware and able to customize.
Or O2 Plus tools. It's free, too. ;-)
thanks! thats very close to what im looking for, is there a way to make it run today plug-ins inside the tabs, that was the main feature i was looking for from spb shell.
hmm as far as I know there is no free Plugin with Tabs which can contain plugins itself.
But if anyone knows one, I'm interested myself. ;-)
it doesnt really need to be free, but spending 30 dollers on a full featured plugin when i am only interested in one of the features is like buying a brand new 2008 mustang just to take the door off it and put the door on the mustang i already had, but it is only 30 bucks...
Pocket Breeze ;-)
It's my favorite plugin, although it costed something. But it's worth every buck. ;-)
is that what the following today screen is using? how do I get an image to cover the entire screen like the following today screen.

get 240x320 px picture,
cut first 26 px from top,save,
cut 26 px from bottom,save,
save what is left,
use WA2 to set these 26 px cuts onto bars(i dont really know if WA2 can set bottom one, if not, WAD is needed to recreate "real" bar while real one is turned off..i never used WA2..eh).
here's landscape problem i assume - do not know if WA2 can set different bars texture..for portrait/landscape,
make theme to match both P/L orientations, set it - with WAD+WA just set what you get after cut top and bottom(268x240 px or so...eh) as wallpaper, same for landscape.
i am not sure, that it is correct english...kill me if i am babbling..
i downloaded WAD. its amazing! now i see how everyone has been doing thier skins

Well, most of that is SPB stuff...I'm running their Mobile shell which is the top row (with other apps on each tab) and SPB Diary which shows my daily agenda, lets me read emails, etc. from the Today screen.
The phone profile buttons are PocketZenPhone. These gave me more options than the SPB Phone Suite, and I had high hopes for it, but I just ran into too many problems, and had to take it off. Going to try PhoneAlarm next...
Went Black with my 8525 and will never go back!
Plus Journal Bar and Today Panel Pro.
The Black Theme is attached below as well as the fix to restore the top and bottom bars from Gray to Shiny Black.
For the Black Dialer (non Video) install see this thread;

Hi! I tried PocketZenPhone, but I can't get the home plugin to work..
I believe it would be usefel, since probably you can switch from diferent profiles using your finger, without the stylus.
I've instaled everything just right, but I don't have the option for the home plugin in the "Today screen" settings..
Any ideas?
Thks!
here is mine
changes often...

Did you install the right plugin? There's several components, the base PZPTools module that runs the profiles and can be assigned to a button. And then you can choose to also install the Today, Menu and/or Task modules.
Photocontacts Pro lets you change profiles very easily. That and the picture contacts on your homescreen is pretty sweet.

Ok if you brought it mate didn't it come with a book or a pdf file ? I have used it and its pretty much self explainitory. best way is to play with 1 item at a time until you can see what it does clearly then move on to the next item.
I'd look at this

Sure can heres a few tips for starting out...
IF you haven't seen the video look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bNtHCOpZlQ
Part 1 - Touch Commander
Install Touch Commander and edit the FtouchFlo config file. The options for left and right scroll are blank. I set "Right 2 Left" as Action Screen and "Left 2 Right" as Comm Manager.
"Down 2 Up" opens Touch Commander Standard and "Up 2 Down" minimizes the program currently active.
Obviously configure Touch Commander Layout and icons to suit yourself. My icons that i used in Touch Commander are png format stored on storage card. I got some of mine from Alienware skin. Basically converted the ".ico" files to png
Part 2 - Ultimate Launch
Install Ultimate Commander and take time to edit play with settings. You can spec tab size by pixels (i used 40) and placement. Then you can spec total pixel size that the Ultimate Launcher plugin uses on desktop (includes tabs). I set @ 200 which lines up perfectly with the wallpaper i use. So when you change tab it moves everything between the tabs at top and the glass bar at the bottom. ie Tabs and glass bar stay static.
I used as plugins, HTC home which fits perfectly between the Tabs and Glass Bar at bottom. The Next Tab is SPB Pocket Plus with short cuts and system items. On the Third Tab I used SPB Weather and on the final tab i had short cuts using Ultimate Launch.
Tab placement can be top or bottom of the Today plugin so you could put them at the bottom of page like iphone. If you want to hide the tabs totally and just use the Cube / Slide change of tabs then set Tab size to zero.
Ultimate launch icons are in standard .ico format 32x32 or 48x48 for the animated size! So you can easily make or edit icons!
You can have as many tabs as you like I just chose 4 as i was using cube style change. And you can use all the normal today style plugins via settings. Each tab can have its own gestures regarding launching apps. I set mine same for less confusion, basically stroke down on tab panel for PocketCM.

Hi,
I have been using BAF GPS Toggle for a few weeks now and it works great.
I am also using the HTC Touch Pro (see signature) which has VGA
Resolution: 480x640
Colours: 65536
The button/icon is small and the Today space is about half the space of other Today plugins/features. Thus I need my stylus to turn it on or off. The fonts are however regular size and thus cut off halfway by the size of the plugin. This means I am sometimes guessing... is that 1 satelite or 7... I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to do a screenshot as I am travelling. I suspect the issue could be solved if the (status) icon is larger for this kind of screen size. (guessing)
(Note I believe the HTC Touch HD has XVGA and its GPS performance could certainly use this plugin as I understand from their owners)
Performance:
Great! (I am using original ROM and Radio, see signature) It picks up satelites almost immediately and this overcomes the slow searching and fixing that other programs use. I've used a few GPS programs to test them out. Both regular car GPS software like Tom Tom and my favourite Route66 as well as off-road software like GPS Tuner... It works great with all and I would advice this clean (low memory) software to any HTC Touch Pro user... (even with the small sized Today plugin as it is)
www.baf.cc developed this and says he has no time to update a fix soon. Is there another way for us (HTC Touch Pro users) to fix this ourselves?
Anyone has a fix/suggestion?
Thanks,
How to adjust today screen to fit GPS Toggle program? (or reverse)
Hi there,
(note: After install, first use gives error 21 and won't activate. After it will work as it should, HTC Touch Pro)
Listen, Robert Ferris created a great little tool. I really use it all the time. However, as you can see in my screenshot it does not go well with VGA visually. It is really difficult to open and start with a stylus as the space is very limited and often I open an adjoining program/function....
As Robert seems to be busy I think it is up to us to make the necessarey adjustments. If I want to do that,... Where do I need to make adjustments, how can I change the today line to fit the text? Where are the images, so I can increase their sizes? And would that do it?
Not only would it make a solution, but it would be fun to learn to do this myself as well.

By the way, I am leaving China for Australia and am not sure how often and how quick I will have access to internet. So if I don't reply immediately you know why.
Thanks for your advice!
Does anyone know of a GPS toggle app for WM, that is not a Today Screen item like this one, but a simple executable file?
I would like to know this as well.

I was wondering if anyone has come across cabs for compact homescreen. I want to have 3 quicklinks show up like on the wvga screens. Possible for top curtain removed, calendar word removed to leave enough space to show 3 quicklinks? I have been searching for hours and nothing
I want it too!
Flash some NRG, don't look back.....
Cabs for quicklinks.... Flash some Rom... yeah baby!
You missed his point. He wants to be able to have the first three quicklinks on the home page along with the clock.
Exactly! I already know if you flick upward it brings up all the quicklinks, but I wanted to have the first three displayed like the bigger res screens through removing some unwanted things on the home screen to free up room like removing the top curtain and calendar and sliding everything up like like the old compact home for manila 2.1. Compact home for manila 2.1 got rid of the top curtain and moved the clock up. I know people know how to do these mods, but its a matter of finding someone who knows how to mod manila 2.5
And btw, I am running NRG Akeo Nov. 21st on my fuze. So I did flash some NRG many times and have never looked back. NRG for the win!
Look into Max Ultimate (link in my sig) it will kind of do this by going to a full screen. It will remove the taskbar, soft keys and kind minimize the slider. It will start to show the first row. Oh and by the way you get more quick links as well.

It does a lot more so check it out it, you just might like it.
Already have it. You can hide the taskbar but you end up hitting a quicklink to bring up the taskbar. I wouldn't be asking questions that would have to do with max manila since I already have it, hence the whole reason I posted a new thread
Well how am I to know what you have. You never mention it. I'm just supposed to know what you are running? Sorry my ESP is falling me.
I made a suggestion that seems to work for me and just to let you know you are talking about the slider. The taskbar is at the top. When I want to bring up the slider and not a quick link I simple give it one flick to the right page. No more quick link to accidently hit.
I understand I didn't say I had Max Manila but I do use the search on here and google before I post anything. There would be no point in posting new threads with answers already given. I may be a noob, but I'm not an annoying noob who doesnt know how to search for things. And flicking to the right defeats the whole concept of what I am looking for. Let me rephrase what I am looking for. I am looking to show the first three quicklinks like the bigger resolution screens have like the blackstone. I know the VGA port of Leo 2.5 is not going to be like the blackstone port for instance, but there has been cabs floating around to make the homescreens smaller. For instance, in the days of Manila 2.1, there was a program called compact homescreen. Compact homescreen removed the top curtain, moved the clock up, and got rid of the words calendar and call history. The only thing I think that is not developed yet (not 100%) is having quicklinks show up on the homescreen of VGA devices. I know you have to flick up to see the list of quicklinks, but I am looking for the first three to show up on the homescreen by removing curtains, etc.
Hi all, I would like to know from those who use spb shell with DROID PRO+ 3.0 by DOC3000 & MSKIP, as they have customized it. because I want to change my home, but I have no idea about how to customize it, so if you want, I ask you to attach an image of your home, to give an example to me and to those who have no idea on how to customize it
sorry for my bad english
these are two of mine... currently using second one.. maybe they are nothing special, but I've been trying with screens full of widgets and it didn't look good for me

here some wallpapers+fundotela backgrounds , I'll soon upload more
some little adjustments.. almost perfect now
a variation of main screen, layout does not change in landscape view
I've been asked to explain how to build the following homescreen, here's a graphical explanation of the layout
you can see the layout, the objects names and the used theme
-wireless management, phone profiles and lock device are shortcuts to spb tools page
-sleep is linked to MySuspend in my start menu folder
-the clock dark background is a shortcut left blank (points nowhere) themed as fond 2
-everything else is spb widget
phone profiles overlaps operator name
the clock overlays the background and is itself overlapped by widget note and sleep
