best multipage/multitab today plugin? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi guys,
What's the best multi page today plugin with the ability to insert today plugins inside pages?
I'd like if i could have first top half of the screen with htc home plugin and second bottom half with more than one tab with inside different today plugins.
Sorry for my english, hope clear enough...
TY
Bye

there is wisbar advance desktop (WAD for short) which can do some wondrous things and it is completely customizable and skinable:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
takes a bit to get used to, but you basically lets you create today screens and add what you want to them, including other today plugins and counters, text , images etc...sorry, not the best description. Have a look at the forum on the site to see what people are using it for.
Hope it helps

I like the good ol' HTC Home. Nice and simple.

I'm really digging on the the tried and true cLaunch lately. As I'm limited to a 240x240 screen, there are only a few viable options for the limited real estate and cLaunch is working nicely as an app launcher. In conjunction with Quickmenu, I manage my device and access my apps with minimal keying.

X2 for cLaunch. Simple, clean, multiple pages, custom icons (.bmp, exe, or dll) you can even change the size of the icons you want to make it more finger friendly. I set mine to 32 pixels, and took off all the borders and tabs. You can use lnk shortcuts.

I think OP 's original request was for something that is tabbed AS WELL as be able to include other today plugins as tab.
can cLaunch or ultimate do that?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can but there are some plugins it can't incorporate which I wish it could like the WM6 calendar and task plugins.

is there an english version of ultimatelaunch

This is a best plugin so far and uses a minimal amonut of ram considering how much works it does.
Anybody know how to put meter in this plugin like battery, signal, memory etc. And show running programs in a tab.

You can create your own tabbed today plugin (for FREE) by using:
1. rlToday
2. MortScripts
Example: http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1099

thanks its nice but is threre a plugin for unread msg and phone calls

That ULTIMATELAUNCHER thing seems quite nice - but I havent figured if it is possible to point it to a folder. It has super interface, but I find it a bit to difficult to configure...

or is that suppose to replace an exe file somewhere? If so where?

(but you have to resize your wallpaper)
gguyaz: ToggleToday wm5 is also coming, which will also greatly enhance the WM2003 version (VGA + automatic landscape support etc). But ToggleToday works well at QVGA on WM2003!

Looks nice, but it sacrifices all of the memory functions, and removes a few of the math operator functions.
This one is floating around for some six month already. If you want the memory function, you can just use skins for built in calculator (default looks of this thing suxxxorz)

POINTUI vs. Wisbar Advanced Desktop

Hey guys,
This might seem like a random or misplaced question, but I am split between these two programs ...
So far ..
The big con for me for POINTUI is the inability to fully customize everything, including placing shortcuts for certain word documents in an easily accessible menu. Have you guys found the same?
The big con for WAD is the memory drain (or have you guys found the POINTUI to be about the same).However, the WAD is WAY WAY more customizable.
Some help about the two would be very very helpful.
I use Wibar Desktop and finally i prefer this for full customisation !!!
PointUi is very impressive but not customisable as well...
I ve created the VistaPhone with Wisbar... Style Iphone remix...
look screenshot... I used the PointUi wallpaper for joke...
1st = today - 2nd = Menu Page - 3rd = Apps 1 - 4 = Games... and more

Make a new map in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder Example "Docs"
Copy the word documents and paste the shortcuts in that folder. Then you can access them all the time. I still think PointUi is one of the best programs for wm devices ever made.
Go with pointui.. wisbar does have alot of customization but its almost too much. Its annoying to me. Go with pointui. They are improving on it everyday and it is free.

Yes but does it allow you to use today plug ins? I have many I want to use and can't with PointUI like I can with Wisbar Advance.
Even the new 1.02b doesn't seem to do this.
OK but WAD not effect and not Slide
Sorry for my English
I just think you can't compare the 2 softwares..
PointUI is pretty new and developed only by one man. Let it do some work and i'm sure we'll see the best

The Fast and the Furious ---> PointUI
My 2 cents.
PointUI - for entry level users, very user friendly, stylus-free. Great for beginners because of easy setup. Plug and play pretty much. UI is just great for show, but slows down device over extended use.
Wisbar - experience users and mod addicted users. Tons of setups and themes, but the outcome is very satisfying. May be a little much for beginners. Full front end customizable.
My opinion, wisbar hands down, its a little confusing at first, but I loved it ever since.
ViJay, you'll like PointUI for the first 24 hours, but the developer you are, its not up to standards, but then again, PointUI is only in its beginning stages.
WAD all the way
The customization ability in WAD is unmatched by any program. It does take some getting used to, but once you do you won't be able to use anything else. Also Chris (developer) is coming out with WAD2 sometime this month. He has talked about adding in some new features (effects) and reducing the footprint of WAD.
I prefer PointUI, especially with the black theme
I've attached the latest (as of 05/02/08) cab installer.
View attachment Pointui.Home.Wm5.Black.CAB
I'm using SPB pocket plus 4.02. Is the interface comparable to pointui and wisbar?

Tutorial...
Is there a tutorial for using WAD? I'd love to create a new today scheme but I'm pretty new at all of this. I believe it's $9.95 at the Lakeridge site which seems very reasonable to me. Thanks in advance.

Iphone-like taskbar

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.
The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.
Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.
Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.
Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.
- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.
I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*
all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.
as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore
Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?
can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers
for example in this pic, where it says Phone Off, i wud b nice if had a rogers logo or some type of Green icon so i know my gsm carrier is ONLINE

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.

using tf3d and mobile shell

this method does not seem to work on my Imagio, if anyone else has another way to run both tf3d and ms3.5 at the same time, please post your method and in the mean time i am trying figure out a good way myself.
*dont know why the link isnt working but its in the development and hacking area of the forums
Why would you wanna run both at the same time anyway? They serve same purpose but has only different useability and UI. And running both of them would probably eat alot of RAM too..
tf3d has gps based weather and spb has customizable widgets, i dont need to run both at the same time but i would like the main today screen to be tf3 and be able to switch to mobile shell at the touch of a button.

I couldn't add MS 3.5. The information on TF3D Detacher and the X1 panels are all over this forum, a quick search should pull up everything you need. I don't have any screen shots at the moment, mainly because I just did a hard reset and am running straight MS 3.5 (I'm OCD and will keep hard resetting until I get exactly what I want).
