Sorry if I seem shocked or very confused by your question, but the answer is YES. There are 100's of ways to change your today screen with out a new ROM.
See here as an example:

Hello all!
I have a question about some issues I am having and I am wondering if they are common and can be fixed or I am making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I am running Dutty's DualTouch Rom v4 (which is awesome BTW) on a AT&T Tilt
but I have some issues I am running into:
1. When I type @ I get ! and when I type ! I get @, is this a common thing? it also happens with other keys that I am still finding out about. Can I remap the keys to be correct? Will Shaps Advance config 1.1 do this for me or I am misunderstanding that program?
2. On the home screen from the HTC Home plugin if I go to mail it opens up Outlook just fine, then I go back to the home and check my SMS and it brings it up fine. But when if I check my mail again it defaults to the SMS folder and I have to change it every time to Outlook, is there a fix for this?
3. Touch FLO is always different, if I swipe left I will get contacts. If I swipe left again I might get contacts but I might get something else, I have tried it many times and almost every time its different. Is there a way to make it so whenever I swipe left it always beings up the same thing?
4. If I want to change the Splash screen, do I need to put HardSPL on again and then flash it? or can I just do it now that I have Dutty's on there?
Thanks!

I might be wrong, but I think that is fixed by Tilt keyboard fix.cab (search forums for it).

I thought KaiserTweak has a setting as to what should open up when messaging/email is opened. KaiserTweak is a sticky in this forum.

You might want to confirm it, but I think once you've done HardSPL, you can flash splash screens whenever you want.

I had that saved from before (keyboard fix) I ran it once then I re-flashed and forgot to do it again, I thought that was only good if your keyboard didn't respond to anything at all, I didn't know it helped for that also. I guess I missed KaiserTweak, I will give it a shot.
KaiserTweak has Tilt keyboard fix as far as I remember.
Besides that, there is a Tilt keyboard fix.cab which solves exatcly that - improper key assignment..
I hope you flashed hard spl before you flashed dutty's rom anyway...
Yeah I did use HardSPL and it was successful.
I understand what it does, but once I flashed to dutty's wouldn't it not matter anymore? Or is there a reason done the road that I need it?
Thanks
Does anybody know a program, or how to edit the start menu bar so that it goes down to the bottom of the screen instead of staying at the top? (Like a PC)
(P.S I don't think WisBar does it, and even if it does, it screwed my TyTN II up bad. Plz don't suggest it...)
Well, i think Wisbar Advance Desktop is the only way (correct me if i'm wrong). With WAD you can build your own desktop from scratch.
Yeah, but WAD only works on the Today Screen... i want the start menu bar (top bar) to stay at the bottom in other programs too.
Thanks anyway
I am looking for the same thing. I used Wisbar to customize the Start menu to look like WinXP. I need to get the whole bar with the Start button on the bottom of the screen and can't discover how....
May i suggest a Windows CE 2.11 Palm-Size PC in that case....
(you'll have to put up with a non-connected device with 69Mhz and 8Megs RAM in that case... )

Sorry mate, we're only looking for applications for WM5 and WM6 Professional that can move the start menu to the bottom.
Also, i saw a bootloader, called "Harret" (i think) and it moves the taskbar to the bottom. I dunno how they did that, but i'm sure other people here want to know how. Any other ideas? I'd love to have my phone actually looking like a WINDOWS mobile phone.
your right about haret pulling down the start menu to the bottom. i also want to know how they have done that
#Bump#
Could any kind of Registry Tweak do it?
BUMP..
i'm also interested in this aswell. any ideas, anyone?
Me too.. even after almost a week of searching I still can't find this capability

That is probably because the OP posted this question almost two years ago with no luck,because it is not possible.
Hey guys, im pretty new here, ive had my wing for a couple days, but ive flashed it mayb 103 times lol.
my question is whenever i change the background image via the Today screen setting, the background image i chose on the today screen is really crappy. any fix for this? p.s. im using ttran001's open touch 5.2 org. thnx!
if you mean that it's like a grayed out and everything, you can turn down the transparency when you select the picture

Well basically ive just got my new HTC diamond today and was looking at installing a few apps, programs and themes ect.
But after spending 2 hours browsing the forum im just getting more and more confused by the minute about what you actually have to do
Can anyone link me or tell me how i go about getting programs themes and app's on to my diamond?? im mainly wanting to change the home screen (customize it)
Help Much Appreciated.
Jack
Right after further searching i found i need "TouchFlo 3D" i downloaded this and put it in the program files folder then go to install it on my phone and nothing happens, asif i dont even click it .. please can someone help!!
Jack,
Ur diamond out of the box already has TF3D, go to start>settings>today and choose on the second tab ('items') TF3D, click the X in the upper right corner and then your homescreen will change to the one with the nice flip clock on it.
But why don't u start with the manual that came with your diamond?
Get to know the device a little more, use it for awhile and then decide what you want to change to let it better suit your needs.
For tons of information and good applications you're absolutely in the right place here, though it can be a bit overwhelming at first, but you'll figure it out i'm sure (cuz i did to and i'm not a whizkid whatsoever..lol...)
Have fun with your diamond, it's a great device with lotsa possibilities

Well its not actually out of the box i meant new as in ive just got it
Got it off my dad as hes just upgraded, anyways after searching even more i decided to have a little play.
i followed this guide :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
And used this rom :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607860
But im getting numerous problems, at first it worked spot on with no problems then after about an hour i went to see if i had a message and it had froze .. now it just keeps turning itself on and off all the time and basically hard resetting itself as every time it turns off i have to do the stylus alignment and date ect.
What am i doing wrong?!
You're doing nothing wrong, but you skipped a step that's crucial when flashing a Diamond:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=mtty
If you perform mtty before you flash a new rom it will most probably solve all the weird errors such as you describe.
Hi, i tryed that but i dont have windows 7 just XP so its not compatable
sure it is compatible, it's even easier to use with XP cuz you don't have to change the drivers.
Be sure to read the first post of the thread carefully, lol, look at the big sentence in red:
NOTE: WORKS WITHOUT DRIVER INSTALL ON XP
Your right its working perfect now, but the tom only came with one keyboard option, and its not "qwerty" can i get an add on or something so i can get the other option's on my device (qwerty, compact,phone keypad)
Thanks for all your help Nirak
Just tryed two other ROM's and there both the same it shows in the screen shots that you can change between the different ones but i keep getting the same keyboard layout no matter what ROM i use, like it wont let me change it to qwerty or phone keypad
Could someone please help me, as its getting quite frustrating now.
Thanks Jack
