Better interfaces for SMS\MMS? - Touch Cruise ROM Development

I see there are a lot of homescreens and skins for the WM platform...but one thing that I'm really missing is some interfaces\apps for creating and sending SMS\MMS that are better suited for finger typing...since it all about touch on some devices...like my on Polaris
Does anyone know of something like that?
From what i gather sms\mms\email are all baked in to the outlook app on my device, but are there any better apps out there?

To faster create a new sms or mms, I use the HTC action screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

The PocketCM contactmanager has a built-in SMS function. SMS history is shown threaded, MSN like. It does however have issues with several SIP panels, in my experience.
Just open PocketCM, scroll to a contact, select the contact and then select SMS to get in the messaging screen. The space in the bottom of the screen is for typing a new message. Four fingerfriendly clicks and you're typing away.

HOW CAN I SETUP THE HTC action screen. ?
THANKS

I've found the Cab on this topic.

Smaller icons or list under Start->Programs etc.

Is there a way to make the icons unde Start->Programs, Start->Settings etc., smaller and/or display in a list like in Windows on a PC ?
Maybe a 3rd party program or a setting on the device itself?
Thanks
Anyone ?
GSPocketMagic makes the start menu list all apps in cascading menus much like Windows XP does. If you have more apps listed than fit on the screen you have scoll through them and it's rather slow to get to those at the bottom if you have a long list. In landscape mode I've gotten pretty quick launching apps using the keyboard - Windows key - [P]rograms - then type the first letter of the program you want to laucnh and it takes you to the first program that starts with that letter, keep pressing that letter and it will cyle through all of them, hit enter and the program will launch.
I find this method to be much quicker than scrolling through a long list of programs.
Thanks, I'll check out GPSPocketMagic and try your system.
Is it the start menu, or the programs explorer you wanted small?
This is possible:

Contacts (with Picture) on Today Screen

I noticed my friend's Treo 700w has a number of pictures as quick shortcuts to the contacts on his phone. Each one of these pics when clicked immediatedly calls the contact...
How is this achieved? Any idea, tools?
Same on my Linux phone. But not on Windows Mobile. MS prefers the "list view" instead of the "icon view".
You guys should read this board more. Sigh

And making your own implementation using VJPhoneTools:

i added the Treo 700w today contact hack. after installing it i realized that 90% of the time i use voice dial, it's just easier. hit the button on the side and say the name John Cell or John Home
Yeah, I use my phone as a PDA more than a phone. So, I don't fancy having an extra plugin that may be slowing down (the already slow Charmer) the phone. However, I've also notice that I've only like call 5-10% of the contacts in my phone, and it would be nice if there is an application that (say) open a new screen showing the name/photo of people that I call most often (or that of I configure). Any exisiting ones?
Hmm.. or I should consider using the speed dial feature

Creating a simple Calendar App - need help

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

Skyfire websites shortcut on today screen

I have AT&T tilt with WM 6.1 rom. I'm using skyfire everyday. One of a kind!
I'm watching this website www.kab.tv most of the time while i'm driving.
so, I have to fire up the skyfire by touching the icon on my tray in the bottom of the screen, then I have to wait 30 seconds for it to get to the homepage, then i'm touching the bookmarks and after few second I can choose my website.
It's kind of not safe to do that while I'm driving
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Is there any way to have a website shortcut or some plugin on/for the today screen?
all I wish is to touch the icon on the today screen and have my website open without doing all of the above.
I know jB5 browser has the ability to have 3 shortcut on the today screen.
Thanks
you are right, thats not a safe method but watching videos while drivings is never safe
you need a plugin/launcher or a GUI with icons that can open a exe like "skyfire.exe" with a parameter like "http:\\www.yahoo.com". i think there are many apps out here.
Can you please name one? so I'll know what to look for. Thanks.
you may try ultimate launch,but it s not for free....
i set a tab with my bookmarks, you just need skyfire to be your default browser

Big Finger help required!

What i was wondering, is there anything like it for windows mobile?
I am running windows mobile 6.1 by the way
Seems im not yet allowed to use images or links in my posts, just remove the space between h & ttp
