TODAY PLUGINS

[wiley]

I was just wondering what everyone's favorite plugins are. Especially PIM plugins; I use Pocket Informant but don't keep it open all of the time and would like something that integrates well. Thanks :D (Links would be appreciated)

tAgenda (http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kohgo/index_en.html) + taskplus (http://gkokot.free.fr/ipaqp02a.htm) are the more configurable that I know.

PepeSoft Calendar+ (http://www.mohairsofa.com/)
nakka tdLaunch (http://www.nakka.com/soft/ptools/)

oups ! I only spoke about PIM plug-ins !
Uptime Meter (http://ae.inc.ru/uptime_t.html) (battery level and uptime).
QOTD (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=1862) (little quotation each day... amazing).

I tried a couple of these software titles out and would like to share my $.02.

Uptime meter looks useful, but I wont clutter my valuable Today screen.

Calendar+ is very nice. I believe I saw a program which was actually commercial software, which looked exactly like this. tAgenda actually duets Calendar+ for the today screen position, and I think tAgenda wins in my opinion. It looks very nicely written for the GUI, but I personally dont like the use of it.

TaskPlus is slow in loading and unloading tasks, and also cannot be configured to view less than 5 tasks.

Nakka TdLaunch looks like it is not written in English, but rather in Chinese.

As for QOTD, im not exactly a philosopher, but I dont ponder on random quotes each day.

As I said, my .02.

tAgenda is, IMO, the best PIM plug in out there. For me I like to have tasks and appointments integrated all into one rather than being seperate. Getting rid of the grid lines and playing with the font a bit really makes it look nice.

If you don't like tdlaunch take a look at Launcher (http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff.html). It is a bit simpler.

The latest beta version of Dashboard (http://www.snoopsoft.com/dashboard/index.html) (a today screen replacement, though technically also a today plug-in) lets you put multiple today plug-ins in each Dashboard view. This means that you can have the standard Dashboard views (Agenda, Email, Tasks, Launcher and Contacts) as well as any today plug-ins you want to use.


I currently use (within Dashboard) Battery Pack 2002 (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=C364B6A9A39X7A4181D6C89EE4X22EBC&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=24948), the Microsoft Money today plug-in, Owner Info X (http://www.mypdacafe.com/software/index.php?redir=6), UpTime (mentioned above) and CE SlideShow (http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=C364B6A9A39X7A4181D6C89EE4X22EBC&productId=49248&optionId=1_2_2&productType=2&catalog=30&txtSearch=ce+slideshow&sectionId=0&platformId=2).

Personally I just love the plugins at www.scarybearsoftware.com . They aren't free, but they do what they say they do very nicely and cleanly.

[Solarsis]

These are the ones I have and, for the most part, can't live without:

Calendar+ 2.0
invisible to user, but has more features than the regular today screen
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=6721

TodayPlus Owner
allows you to customize what owner information is available on today scrren
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3511

MoonPhase 2.3
Shows the current phase of the moon on today screen
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=6956

Pocket Plus
Ultimate today screen plug-in
has many features, including a launcher for programs on your ppc and a "true close" feature that really closes programs
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=6846

Hope this helps!

Blusparkles - how did you add BatteryPack to Dashboard?

I am new to the PPC world and need some guidance. I have Dashboard and Icbar, but would like a more comprehensive battery and memory display.

[blazingwolf]

Download Dashtoday from www.snoopsoft.com and install it. Then from my dash select today as the plug in. Make sure you have battery pack check in the settings for the today screen. It should show up on your my dash screen now.

Agenda Today Plugin is great for a quick glance at the day. Those people at Developer One are cool.

[blusparkles]

If you are a registered user of Dashboard, you should be able to download the latest beta by inserting all of your order information here: http://www.snoopsoft.com/orders/orderlookup.asp. This latest beta lets you put multiple today plug-ins on any Dashboard view.
