Re-arrange Today Screen

I am trying out a few apps on my Today screen: Pocket Plus, rlCalendar, spb weather and phoneAlarm.
I know that I can simply change the order of these in the Today settings section, but I want a little more control. Is there a utility to arrange having one of these stuck on the bottom of the screen? Can I customize the width of any other items (rlCalendar has this option, but I don't think the others allow this).

I am not aware of a utility that would allow this. I do know that specific software programs (Ex. Pocket Breeze) will allow you to set up height in pixels.

Try using Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop, it allows you a lot of control on today plugins.

Thank you. I'll take a look at Wisbar. It seemed a little complicated as I have already been tweaking this thing for a full month now, but I'll try it.

How do you get Today Apps starting from the bottom?

Hey guys.
I love this forum and have had a great experience with everyone I have talked to so far. Thanks a lot.
I have not yet found a cab to remove the bottom title bar which usually has touch functions for the two soft keys, calendar and contacts. I am trying to remove this bar, does anyone know of any cabs that can accomlish that? I have only found a cab so far that removes the top but not the bottom.
Also I wanted to know if a program that can place items on my today screen starting from the bottom like an iPhone or LG Prada. I see many people on the Today screen post have that feature but I have yet to find the post where the program or method exist to perform that task. Thanks for your help guys.

For your first request, you can accomplish this with either of the following:
1. Vijay ToggleToday at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243211&highlight=vjtoggletoday This allows you to toggle the bottom bar, top bar, or both. The latest version does appear to work on WM5 and WM6.
2. Wisbar Advance 3 - this is a commercial app that has a primary focus on task management and skinning your top bar; however a side benefit is the ability to remove the bottom bar.
I have no idea on your 2nd request. Good luck.

thanks for your help with the one issue I am having. appreciate it.

I tried installing Vijay ToggleToday but it could only clear the top menu bar and not the bottom. Have you got this to work on yours? I am currently using WM 6.1 and I think that might be an issue.
Is Wisebar a free program?

commercial app = not free

@Brianlau
Not your fault as a new member, but the matter you raise is not what we consider an upgrading (for which read "development" ) issue. We are currently considering re-naming "Upgrading etc" to something with the word development in it so it's not so confusing.
I will move your thread to the regular Kaiser Forum and leave an expiring re-direct here in case someone is in the middle of giving you an answer.
Cheers
Mike

I just got the app but am unsure which menu or settng you need to adjust in order to remove the bottom section of the soft keys. anyone know?

Hmmmm...I guess I have not tried it on 6.1. It worked on 6.0.
I am assuming you went into the config and specific a bottom bar size of 0.

you can use this i used for a while eith no problems but idk how to start your plugins from the bottom

'Rotation' shortcut on HTC Home...

Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the behaviour of the shortcut which is set-up by default on the shortcut page of HTC Home on my T-Mobile Vario III.
Basically, when tap the shortcut, it rotates the screen, however it rotates 90 degrees clockwise - as if it were set for 'Landscape (Left Handed)'. I would really like to be able to rotate the other-way, effectively setting 'Landscape (Right Handed)' using this shortcut. Is there any little tweak that can be performed to achieve this?
Thanks and regards,
Rob.

I'm interest on this feature too.
Thanks

Guys, u can try quickmenu2.7 or wktask, small little programs(something like task managers) and they have the function to rotate the screen.

Thanks, I've tried, but if it is possible I would like only to change the function of the existence shortcut because both sw have hundred of function that I don't need and come annoying for me...
If that sw does, that means that could be possible, if not edit the current shortcut, to create another... I hope that someone can help me because I'm not very practised in editing WM...
Thanks
bye

unzip and place anywhere, and create a shortcut in your home, and give a shot, it should be what you are looking for.

Thanks for the prg... but It doesn't work.. I don't know why, but it make an error.... never mind..
I made, with the precious advice of "col Cyber", a mscr file that can be use with MortScript with this code:
Code:
If(Screen("portrait") = True)
Rotate(90)
else
Rotate(0)
EndIf
It works very well!
Bye

Take a look at the SecondToday plugin... If you use the TouchFlo2D settings tool (search the forums) you can make a softkey on the main tab that says something like "Agenda", and link it to secondtoday. Then use an application like G-Alarm and / or TodayAgenda for your today screen plugins. Inside of SecondToday you can set a softkey to "return" to TouchFlo2D by pointing it at SecondToday.exe (this kinda tricks it like the OK button)
This is what I have done, and it's very slick and solved my issues. Hopefully it helps you.

Thank you very much for the help

screen orientation switcher??

Hi all
I've had a look around the forums, and i cant seem to find a definitive answer to what im looking for, and im certain ive seen it in a rom somewhere
what im looking for is the following:
A program which allows me to change the orientation of the screen by means of a start menu shortcut (not the one which normally be in the settings -> screen -> orientation, that menu seems to be missing on my rom)
does anyone know of a program (preferably free), that is small, and lightweight that can do this?
many thanks

Search for Gsen or Gyrator in forum.

ive done the searches, ive used gsen/gyrator, those are automatic screen rotators which change the orientation of the screen using the inbuilt accelorometer
i am looking for someting which i can use to manually change the orientation of the screen, a bit like the orientation switcher which was built into the screen settings menu

nobody?
surely someone must know of a program that can do this

ScreenRotator
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Saerch for the freeware ScreenRotator.net at this site.

QuickMenu has that feature which will replace your Start Menu. you can do that by tapping an menu item then.

Unless I misunderstand, install AEbutton and map one of your buttons to screen orientation.

Hey Stix,
To enable the screen rotation icon from the Settings>Screen menu, edit the registry: "HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" and change the value to 0. Go to the Screen page and you'll see the Portrait/Landscape option.
After enabling the screen rotation option, you can map the talk button to rotate the screen with a long press. Start>Settings>Buttons; just look for the <Rotate Screen> option from the pull down menu.
You don't have to go to the Start menu, doesn't use resources (I'm guessing) and it's free!
Hope this helps.
TF3D doesn't rotate even when you select the <Rotate Screen> option (unless the keyboard is popped out, obviously). Only applications and the Windows menus will rotate if you manually rotate the screen.

thank you very much my good man!
this is perfect, i use my raphael to read a lot of pdf's and docs, and i recently discovered documents to go which does everything i want except change the orientation!
many thanks asdfjklqwerty!

I use this, AAHRotate0-90.CAB or AAHRotate0-270.CAB on my Touch Pro.

I just searched for these cabs. I can only find them on a Chinese website which I can't read. It requires login to download the files. Does anyone have these cabs and could they be posted please.
Thanks

RotateMe
Hi,
you can try this attached cab. Hope it's what you're looking for.
P.S. Cab file extracted from ROMeOS v1.95.4.

Excellent! Works like a charm on my HTC Vox. I know this forum is for Touch Pro, but since I found the software here...

AAHRotate 1.0

I do it with AE Button, but if you have SK Tools, these shortcuts will also do it (use the shortcut manager if you want; these probably work with the free version, too):
Code:
Portrait:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_P
Landscape:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_L
