Quick questions:
Is it customizable?

Doesn't seem to work very well on Diamond... when I do a restart it pop ups when I'm typing my Pin code... and then The icon is hiding 'behind' TouchFlo .. so I cant get to it... and nothing happens when I try to start it in the Start menu...
And I cant chose any alarm sounds....
Anyone else having problems with Diamond and SpoonAlarm?

ok
on ie not see the image but i can download it.
testing....
thanks

Ironically, I never heard of this program until yesterday and downloaded the previous version yesterday. It seemed call but it kept going off every 3 minutes. I said dismiss but it just kept going off so I uninstalled it. But it keeps going off, even though it's uninstalled. Thankfully it stopped for now, but I think it may happen again. How can it keep going if I uninstalled it?

Nice but I don't like the tray item. When launching the app for the second time it won't show up, you have to use the tray item. I use Throttle Launcher so the tray is hidden, which makes the app quite unusable.

SpoonAlarm 2.0
I think there are some issues with Diamond, a friend of mine already reported it's not working very well for him too.
I will check it out and try to fix the problem.
Can you explain the tray icon problem please?
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback,
I thought people will actually like the tray icon...
Any suggestions how I can enable easy access to it without the tray?

Have a way to link it to the taskbar clock, or the user can create a shortcut in whatever launcher they use.

Thanks.
So I think what I will do is to give it as optional configuration.
Will update you as soon as it is fixed.
Gil.

I too hadn't heard about your program until today - and it seems great, except for the tray icon...
There are many places you can allow the user to place the icon:
Tray
Control Panel
Start Menu Panel (main)
Start Menu -> Programs
If you could create an option to allow the user to create a quick access shortcut in one or more of those locations, then I think you'll probably make everyone's day.
Other than that, the application looks much nicer and more powerful than the default WM clock/alarm utility. Great job!

Looks good , like to see the update with a short cut to. Thanks for your hard work .

Possible to set multiple alarms ?

Not working
I was looking forward to this program but it doesn't work for me.
a- I can't use the tray icon. I NEVER look at the today screen.
b- I can't select an MP3. It doesn't show any.
I need to be able to run it from a shortcut.
I am hoping it will work soon. I'll even donate $10 if it works.
Thanks,
Jeannette

Currently the default one does and any alternate alarm program I get must at bare minimum, have teh same features as the default alarm, plus of course the addition creature features. So multi alarm would have to be there in order for me to use it.
I am happy with the default alarm to be honest. My ONLY grief is the lack of MP3 support for setting the alarm sounds. The SpoonAlarm looks good but if teh curently functionality is missing at all then it does me no good and I will stick with the default alarm. I just have to convert MP3 sounds to wave and make sure they are in the windows folder, a pain but it works.

Is there a way SpoonAlarm can map to the alarm icon (next to the clock) in HTCHome? Looks like a good basic alarm app though. A lot of these alarm apps have horrible looking UI's with non touch friendly interfaces.

NEW: Tray Today Items

I've developed a nifty little tray application that lets you enable/disable and move up/down items on your today page. This saves a lot of time when you're playing around with today screen plug ins, compared to going through the settings pane.
You can get the first beta here: http://oxymoron.se/traytodayitems_beta1.cab

Hi.
This is very good and saves lots of time. I had to put a short cut in the startup folder myself. Apart from that its perfect on my PDA2K.
Thanks,
Ian Watson
@skip: Looks like your TodayPrograms plugin is about what I am looking for, except: From what what i read is that you put all shortcuts in the 'Programs' folder on the plugin. I would like to have only the shortcuts in a specific (best but not neccesary would be a configurable...) folder shown . . .
Could you introduce that into your plugin?
Great that someone is trying it out!
Like I said it is still a beta version, although I am not aware of any bugs per se. I'll definitely make so that it automatically installs in the startup folder. Also, a program icon would not be too shabby.
Skip
Edsub, your suggestion is not a bad one at all. I first had an idea to make a toggle for every program whether it would show on the today screen or not.
Now I'm thinking that your idea might be even better, let the user choose a folder from which to get the shortcuts. This would allow for an even more flexible choice of programs. However, this would definitely make it harder to customize for people who would rather not deal with the file system and shortcuts.
I'll look into it.
One question: Is a .EXE installer desirable? I'll definitely make the my programs available as .CABs, but would anyone prefer a .EXE installer for Windows and Active Sync?
Skip
IMO a CAB is better. Just copy to the device & tap . . .
With .exe you allways get the question if its a PC or PPC exe . . . .
Hi.
Is it possible for you to add OPTIONS in the menu to allow you to get to the options screen for that item.
Thanks,
Ian

You should always take care about putting anything in the startup directory, since this modifies the device's behaviour at startup. If there is a problem which requires a reset, the user might not like you messing with startup - I don't.

Disagree again I'm afraid, what about people who don't want to install to the default location but want to put the s/w on a Storage card? Unless you have CABinstaller you can't easily. Always provide both options if you want to keep the users happy.
That's a good idea. I should be able to call up the options screen somehow. I'll see when I find time to work on it.

Hi LeSkip, good start, really like to today tray items program.
With respect to the Today Program yes an EXE installer would be great. I like your original idea to be able to choose which programs to display.
Also if I choose say 15 programs to display it overlaps the programs instead of say placing on a second line or like iLauncher having an Icon to get to the second set. Also making the icon Size configurable would be great.
I have the Icons on my screen, but tapping one does not start the program. Also I have choosen 8 icons to display, the eight Icon is cutoff (it is cutoff about 1/2 cm before the right side of the screen).
Today Programs is definitely far from finished, I just wanted to see there was a user base for this kind of application.
An option to use 16x16 icons instead of the large 32x32 is high on my to-do list. Letting the user show more than the number of programs that actually fits on the screen isn't much use, so I'll just limit the number to whatever width the screen has.
I am working on tapping as a way of launching.
Small arrows that show when there are more programs to scroll to will be added soon.
The right side cut off has to do with the program being launched when a scroll bar was visible. I'll try to solve this problem.

Hi.
I have only installed the Tray Today software. Is the other software with the icons for creating software shortcuts? I use tdLaunch: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=176
The Tray Today software is really good - even better with an "options" in the menu . But there seems to be quite a few other icon shortcut software for the Today Screen. Is yours going to be any different to others? Like I said, I have not installed yours yet.
Regards,
Ian Watson
The sole purpose of "Today programs" (horrible development name) is easy access to the Programs folder with the D-pad. I was getting annoyed with having to click Start>Programs to access them. I haven't tried any similar products, but there's probably several of them.
Skip
Possible new name: Today Switcher... because the natural progression of this tool has got to be to permit people to store multiple Today configurations and switch between them via the tray tool.
It's something I would love to develop - I believe there's one buggy one out there - but I just don't have the hours in the day! So go for it, the world is waiting for it!

I originally didn't intend to go that far with it, but the idea is starting to appeal to me. I'll try to have an updated version ready by next week, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to complete by then.
I'm trying to finish my degree this semester, so I don't really have time for my hobbies...

due to some feature requests it would be great if someone could tell me how to open PocketOutlook on a specific date. I didn't found any info on how to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Andre
Download Page at rotlaus.com
Thanks Rotlaus - it's a great plugin
Some questions/requests:
1 - Will you make the sources available? And, if not:
2 - Can you add some options for calendar and clock format? (I'd like to be able, i.e., to show always the leading zero for hours)
3 - Can you make the max font width bigger than 60 ?
Thanks again for the plugin
its nice to see some custom calender controls appearing on the PPC...
the guys over at Practisoft (www.practisoft.co.uk/practix.htm) are currently building a fully functional CF.NET version of their calender control (so ive been told!)
i downloaded their windows version and had a play about with it, its pretty impressive - ill be keeping my eye out for the CF.NET version!
This small soft is ỉmpressive
Kryptonic - I was speaking to David Goon from Microsoft at the Modaco party, and he said that Microsoft considers it unwise to use CF for today plugins (because of the overhead of running CF from Today). Hence, for the first time in my short years I've started learning C++.
This plugin is beautiful though! Keep up the good work.

Hi,
Rotlaus, this is very nice app, thanks.
Would mind making one that starts the week on Saturday!
Regards,
ksasat
Hi Rotlaus,
Sorry to bring this back up (not sure if you are still developing it) but great today plugin you got here. I was wondering if there is any chance you can add the option to right-aligned calendar, date, etc? I'm asking because I have the calendar on the right hand side but when I flipped to landscape mode, the calendar would be around the middle since it's not right-aligned. If you can add this option, that would be great!
Also, are there plans to make this WM5 compatible? I am using a Sprint PPC6700 (HTC Apache). The plugin works but for some reason, it does not automatically come up after a soft reset. I would have to go into the today plugin menu and unselect it and select again before it shows up. Not sure if it's a WM5 thing or its just my device.
Anyways, looking forward to hearing from you!

Great Program, Alarm plugin?
I would like to say thet this is one of the best solutions for my wizard.
So simple but nice to have a big clock.
What i liked about the build in date plugin is that when i tap it it goes to the alarm setup.
Do you think it is posible to have this option in your app. so i can set an alarm and also see a bell. maybe even the alarm time?
Great work though, thanks
hi, would it be possible to choose the font of the digital time clock?
thank you.

No, this is not possible. If you want a custom clock / calendar consider to use the rltoday plugin and make a 'rlCalendar' Skin for it.
well, too bad, i'll try the rltoday plugin again...thanks.

i'm trying that, seems great application, THX :wink:
Is there a web page for it? I may wanted to try it out. PocketBreeze is a bit slow on my already slowed Charmer. However, I tried a lot of other plugins and PBzz is currently the best on for the price of $10.
One of the thing I like about PBzz is the integration of the Tasks and Appointments on the same screen, and birthdays too. Further, I found the others annoying is the fact that they named tomorrow just like any other date, which may undermined the importance of that particular task tomorrow. Hence, everytime I was looking at my Today screen, I have to particularly check todays date to ensure that if the next task/app on the screen is tomorrow or not.
Do a check
can any body from the ones installed this app tells me if it enables me to set the saturday as the first day of the week or no.
Handy little app meschle! Thanks for posting it.
And, gwassef, no.

Thats something your end - firewall or antiviral causing that. It downloads fine for me - try downloading on your wizard through internet explorer.
Ok. I've tested it. My comments as mentioned above,
It doesn't show tomorrow as 'Tomorrow' and, it doesn't even show today as 'Today'. Maybe someone would talk to the author and ask him to make those changes, which is, in my opinion a very good improvement.
But other than that, it is a very good today plugin.
@ meschle
Very nice find! at last I may of found a replacement for pocketbreeze Will have a play for the next few days and see......

Copy the cab file over to the device via activesync - place in \my documents on your phone - click on the cab file through file explorer on the device. Install to device not storage card. Do not unzip the file - cab file is a self installing archive.
right all done - is there anyway of tweaking it though so you can alter how many days it shows?

I've been having a play getting Panels running on the Touch HD, and thought i'd put a CAB up of my efforts so far... i'm working to make the experience even better... consider this EARLY BETA!
What's hot...
- It works
- No 'Panels' button the HD of course, so you get a Panels icon on the start menu
- Performance of the actual panels is great
- It works
- AppToDate support for future updates
What's not so hot (yet)...
- It takes a few seconds for the panel select app to open
- The FM Radio and Media Xperience panels don't work properly on the HD (is the FM Radio panel outputting via extUSB?)
- The TouchFlo 3D plugin has to be disabled or pressing the home key returns you to TF3D (working on fix)
What's coming up
- Speed boost!
- Option to map to hardware button
- Requests?
What you need to do to install
- Disable TF3D from Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
- Install main CAB from below
- REBOOT
- Run Panels from the start menu to choose panel
- Optionally install additional panels from the links below

Toot Toot
now installing and testing, btw, which device (x1 or HD) has better video hardware acceleration? Or is it the same?
i gotta say, hats off to you! Looks really good. Saw some salesman with his se x1 and the speed doesn't even differ much. Ofcourse it would be nice if the panels react a little more smoother, but my first impressions are: wow!
keep up the good work!
just a quickie how do you get back out from a panel ???
:sonyNewbie:
i use start panel, then you can choose panels
Thanks God...you are not calling for testers and then no cabs...and all you see is pages and pages...no cabs...
but Modaco, you directly posted the cabs...great...I will try it soon.
Thanks for the efforts
Jezwick, how do you mean? Once you are in the panel selector you need to pick a panel...

my screens full of fishes and I can't get out of it !!!!
LooksGreat mind !!!
Er, so select a different panel to get rid of the fish!
The top left one is 'standard today'...

Hi Modaco.
Well....it does not work for me...
I installed the 10,1 Mb CAB and I can see the Panels quick launcher in my start menu, but it keeps on showing me something like "PanelManager.exe cant`t be open. It couldn`t be digitally signed or there is a missing component, If the probelm persists, etc...." (free translation form spanish) everytime i Reboot the HD.
Of course when I push the Pannels Quick Launcher nothing happens...
Any idea to fix it?.
Thanks.
very nice. Thanks Paul. I like the spb one!

Hmmm, probably translated to running on a Spanish ROM? Ahhhh, is your 'Program Files' directory called something else? Lazy me, i've hardcoded that filename into my app (which is what runs when you hit that Panels icon)...

[APP][2010/07/02]AppGrouper, a simple catagorised app launcher

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:
{
"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"
}
I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!
Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text
Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment
Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.
thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?
Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~
