I have read for other HTC devices you can make a flicking gesture on the clock on the home screen to make it smaller. This then enables more calendar items to be displayed on the home screen. Has anyone managed to do this on the Jade?
I also would appreciate any comment on this.
or any other solution to get more than one appointment displayed on the home tab.
thx in advance
The gesture only works with devices like the Touch Diamond or the Touch HD (they have TouchFlo 3D "on board").
The 3G uses TouchFlo 2D. These gestures are not implemented here.

To make matters worse, if you've got an "All Day" event like a Birthday/ Aniversary it only shows that item and not the more relevent stuff like meetings etc! Really needs a fix.

True. I believe it's due to the space limitation. It only shows the earliest timed appointment of the day, "All day" being first to start at 00:00 hrs.
My method => just tap the "calendar" and see the detail listings of the day's appointments.
Well, I had the same problem by the Calendar didn't show more than 1 appointment and it didn't even show the appointments the days after tomorrow...
So I added the Second Today and Today Agenda.
Then I need to press 2 buttons before I can see the full details of the upcoming appointments!
e.g. upcoming appointments up to a week!
Sorry, I can't remember where I download these...
its a design fault of touchflo2D

You don't have to use it.
Suddenly today I saw 2 lines of my calendar? Is this a known improvement on TF2D? Or my phone is somehow screwed up and display 2 lines? The only things I did is upgrade to the new official ROM after my my TF2D refuse to start on my original stock ROM.

Confirm is my phone screwed up...soft reset and back to 1 line...too bad....but it actually can display but not sure why HTC didn't think of it earlier.
Not sure if this is old news. I have tested it again and confirm my TouchFLO2D is showing 2 lines of items. It has been great to be able to see 2 lines. But seems to work with original theme only as it is able to cater the extra calender line. I tried with one other theme and it screws it up. So I am sticking to original theme. So glad to see 2 line items.
Yes, I had the same experience. The home screen can only show 2 lines with the original home theme.

can some one please tell me how i can put contacts pic on today screen,i seen it done with the treo 700 with windows 5.0.maybe some one can tell me of some software to do this,thanks
i use vjays phone tools and set shortcut with custom icon to my today screen launcher.
I also use VJPhoneTools on my Today launcher:

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?
Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.
Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

Hi, can i ask what soft is adding icons to your taskbar on top. Thx a lot.

The fullscreen technique is not entirely compatible with WM5 yet. I've not had enough time to get it out yet. Chakra will tell you all about it.

There are a couple of programs which modify the way the today screen appears:
1. No Plugins Today: toggles on/off items/plugin on today screen for a fresh looking today screen (http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
2. Vijay555's Toggletoday which enables a 16% larger screen
Is there way to combine the functionality of both programs into one. The purpose of this program is to:
1. Lower memory usage and mabe even save a little battery power
2. Allows for clear view of the today image
It might be possible to combine No Plugins Today with VJToggleToday, but is it necessary? It seems to me that although their usage is complimentary, building it into one program doesn't really help. Just run No Plugins Today when you need it, or my app when you need it.
If there's demand though, I'll consider building it in perhaps.

No today --> multiple today
Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is an idea. The no today screen plugin seems like a good idea. But how about switching between 2 different today screens. So it's possible to have for instance an today screen with the calender and tasks and other usefull plugin that have to do with dates etc. and a second today screen where you get all the information about ur pda e.g. battery, birthdays, overclocking, etc. or even communication today screen versus datebook today screen. I think you will understand what i mean.
I'm currently using the Orange homescreen plugin, but would love to have a hardware button assigned to switch between the trad. today screen and the orange one.
Maybe it is possible with no today screen haven't tested it yet. if it is disregard this message.
Cheers,
Shah

thanks Vjiay,
I'll try that out.
By the way do you also do request programs? because I had an idea to expand the Orange Homescreen application with certain extra items. Or do you know any programmers who would be interested.
Link to the concept design I made in Photoshop:

You can try SK Today Commander (beta)
This can do 2-9 today screen profiles
We plan release it in nearest time.

I made a super simple skin for my Athena to organize my today screen better. I thought it might be vaguely useful to others so here it is. The items aren't perfectly lined up and uses no images. It currently has the date, calender, time, 5 applications, sms, email and missed calls counters. I may add tabs, weather and other stuff one day.
The skin is the top part:

Neat Ta!
Changed it around a bit, by swapping the date and time, so that it stills shows the time in portrait and then shrunk it to 110 to fit everything into my start screen.

Sorry for the newbie question, but where should these files be put? I've tried dropping them in the Windows directory and then going to Settings/Today to see what appeared. Nothing did.

Hi mate, was setup sbp shell and I wondering this soft have to register. Do you have any idea ?
This is the Beta version that seems to have founds its way onto many a forum for download this morning, probably will work in SPB's favour as this version of mobile shell is spot on brilliant.
Have my paid version of version 2, so looking forward to the official version, which should be available in the next week or so.
Have fun
I did that, i changed the settings to show more appointments, but it still only shows 2.. in every mode.. anyone else with this problem? (I want to see more appointments, without having to select the calendar. As in the lifestyle screen, where you can select 3 'pages', i want one page filled with al my upcoming appointments.
I hope somebody knows how

Thanks!

For some reason the picture wasn't displaying in my first post above so here it is! As you can see the new mail number in the green circle is covered by the square slider... the speech bubble was however added by me to brighten up your day.
Friendly bump
All I can say is that that's obviously not standard behaviour.
Have you installed many theme mods?
What extra software have you installed on the device? I don't recognise the 2 icons on the top right as being standard (well, not for me). I'm guessing that the horizontal stretching in the image is not representative of your device? On my HD2 the envelope is more square. Does this happen on all you email account icons? I see you have 3 accounts.
Regards.
thanks for the response guys. to start off with, the ROM i have is 2.01, and i found the download link for it buried somewhere in the 2.01 ROM thread right here in these forums. i didn't know it at the time but it was a cooked rom as the top right icon in the status is actually a task manager drop down menu that has been there since i installed the rom, as well as some other programmes that are not stock.
however to my memory this graphical anomaly shown above was not present from the beginning... yes, it happens to all of the email accounts.
In terms of theme mods i did install HDwall but then uninstalled it as i stupidly didn't realise that it didn't work properly with manila 1922 (if i recall). i made the same mistake with max manila and also uninstalled that. my biggest problems came after trying out dome bg4alltabs mods and 16/20 quicklink shortcut mods, which i should point out that i had trouble completely uninstalling, though they no longer appear in the application list. i believe that the 20 quicklinks mod graphically messed up my home screen by removing all the quicklinks (not even the outlines remained) and causing an ugly grey box to appear on the.home screen which covered part of theleft handside of the clock...?
i can't be bothered to hard reset over this at the moment... i guess one way to perhaps solve it would be if some of you guys kindly posted the relevant stock registry entries on here that are relevant to the problem or indeed relevant to those theme mods that have been uninstalled, as maybe there are still remnants of them left.
however i realise this is near impossible for any one to know the ins and outs of the registry entries that well, at least that's what i feel in my inexperience, so if not then no worries, i can only thank you for your time which i will do gladly
