Adjusting the scroll bar on today screen?

I have the HTC Home screen. I have all my displays set up to fit the screen perfect. The problem I have is at the bottom I have my calender and it displays my up coming appointment all in a single line. When my next appointment is close its displayed on a second causing a scroll bar to appear on the screen running from the top to the bottom. With this it screws up my home screen appearance. Is there a way to create a small scroll bar just below the HTC Home screen? I noticed on home screen display, a lot of you guys have it this way. How do you get it?
Also is there a way to show only one up-coming appointment only, then the next after it has pasted?? I have the stock calender that came with my tilt.

Slighty off Topic, you could try an app called Today Agenda, that lets you fix the size of the calender display, alter font sizes, headers, etc, etc.

Thanks, but my fonts are small enough. Just looking for something to correct the scroll bar length or to just display one appointment at a time.

Figured it out, just lock the home screen through the customizer app. under home options.

Trim Operator and date from home screen

Maybe I'm crazy, but I could have sworn that before I flashed tonight, my HTC home didn't have the operator and date across the top. I don't know what it is exactly, but something is different.
I've always had owner info,htc home, and battery status on my today screen, and before I flashed they would all fit even in landscape mode without a scroll bar, but now even with Battery status taking one line it doesn't fit.
I checked the setting in the home screen customizer and in Schaps advanced config, and I don't see what I could be missing?
Could it just be that I'm using a different version of home now? or an I really just going nuts?

Can you post a screen shot?
What ROM have you flashed to?
If the date is really long, you need to change the settings in the registry under HKLM\nls\overrides and it is the SDte I think.

HTC home plugin

Im looking for something buy i dont know the name of it.
I am no looking for the HTC homeplugin, but the one that comes on the att rom with the batter percent remaining, screen rotate...it has a bout 5 shortcuts in one row of today screen items.
thanks...i searched a lot

HTC Homeplug
Hello eskimochaos,
By the sound of your description, I think you mean you want the HTC Homeplug. If I recall, it has links to the Comm manager, Power Settings (which shows the battery level as a link to it), Screen Brightness, Screen Orientation, and Create New SMS. It takes up only one row of the today screen, and is not to be confused with HTC Home. Is this what you're looking for?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly, not the one that takes up the entire today screen with the huge clock, the one that takes on line (same size as message today item) with screen brightness, rotate screen, new sms, battery percent etc.
Thanks Dave
Do you have a link/cab?

HTC Homeplug, Kind of...
Hello eskimochaos,
After a while of searching, this is the best I could find. It is identical to the original Homeplug, but with two key differences. First, at least on my device, there is a battery icon with a question mark through it that rotates the screen instead of the regular picture of the device, but this is only when it is in portrait mode. The second difference is that instead of the new sms link, a link to internet explorer is shown, and when clicked, shows "messaging_sms_new", and can not find the page. Other than that, it works as normal. I will try to see if I can find a better one, but until then, this will have to do. Thanks to Patr!k for originally posting this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533.

New Today screen app request

Can someone make an app for the Today screen that would allow the blank space on the screen to react to a touch by "pushing" the Today screen items off the screen so i can just see my wallpaper and top & bottom nav bars? Touching the screen that does not cause another Today item to activate would use the blank space on the screen to be used as an action. when touched it would either push the items off the screen or simpy make them dissappear or re-appear... The home screen can get so cluttered with all the notifications and info, sometimes it's nice to just see the background image.
thoughts?

SecondToday, SPB Pocket Plus, etc...

or you could use ultimatelaunch. this would create you multiple tabs which you can access by swiping the screen to the left or right and giving you access to multiple different setups. you can include today plugins into the plugin which makes it very customizable.
cheers

yes, I'm aware of those apps, I was looking for something with more screen effect that could remove the clutter without adding more pages/screens. it's already a linux screen effect in the desktop OS world, i thought it'd be cool to see on a Kaiser/Tilt

Can I add extra things to the home screen?

I could add extra things to the MS Today screen, can I do the same for the Flo3D home screen? All I have is Call History and Calendar, can't I change this? I only seem to be able to change the tabs at the bottom a bit.

Has anyone found a way to insert other things (links,icons...) to the home screen? Or to take away the calendar/call history links?

Just turn off TF3D, it's a completely useless memory, battery and resource hog anyway. Then put TodayAgenda on your Today screen, it's the best thing since sliced bread. :O)

Any screenshot or preview for TodayAgenda?

Look for Manilla Today Page. It adds another tab to TF3D which functions as a virtual Today screen. This gives you all the beauty of TF3D plus alot of the Today screen functionality.
Sadly it doesn't support all Today screen plugins (I miss PocketPlus desperately), but it is an excellent 'best of both worlds' solution.
The other way is to try SecondTodayScreen. This does as it says and gives you a second Today screen so you can have TF3D running and still access another Today screen with all your plugins on it.
