Show-off time, Today screens! Again!

[Rok]

OK, it's been done many times before, but there are so many nice new applets around! Let's see what your Today screen looks like (with description of custom elements). Here's mine:

Still using PPC 2k2, with Mobile 2003 default .tsk, WISbar Advance with my own theme, Pocket Facelift for the Program menu, Handymenu with custom icon.

And again, with Program menu opened:

I like it clean and uncluttered. How 'bout you? :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Note: I split off unrelated commentary on trusting third-party software and sites here (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17600). Folks, let's stick to Rok's excellent suggestion and trade Today screens here. Any further distractions on the above topic posted here will be summarily deleted -- go to that thread if you want to debate the issue!

Back ontopic: Rok: isn't the WM2k3 theme so superb? I use it on my PPC2k2 device too. :D The start menu comes out looking a bit strange with black text, but it's definitely tolerable. I'll post mine when I get a chance, although it's rather... boring. The WM2k3 theme, plus Pocket Plus, and that's about it. :)

Wow... that's what I have on mine! :D I don't like skinning or cluttering the today screen - I see how much battery life and memory I have left through Pocket Plue but other than that it's a 2002 device with the new Blue Windows Mobile 2003 theme. :way to go:

I wish there were more themes like this -- mostly plain so that plugins are clearly visible, with just some shading or small designs or scenes in the bottom quarter or so of the screen.

Hey Eitel, is that srs's weather, etc. plugin? It looks real good, how is it working? I was going to do it, but my skill sets are limited and I have done way too many hard resets due to betas lately.
Looks great!

From the shape of the icon, my guess would be that Pocket Artist is from Conduit?

Indeed. It's a nifty piece of software - almost like having Photoshop in your hand (no kidding - it even uses desktop Photoshop plugins 8O). It's rather expensive, though. I got it on a sale for 40 $ - it sells for 50 otherwise...

Cheers,

That's where PocketFacelift comes into play - notice the white text with shadow, even on Start menu? :mrgreen:

Yep. That is srs's TodayPlus (http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=040c41d5934bf3998afcf8a947d5d02e&threadid=85179). It's working great so far, and I love that you can customize it the anyway you want.

I'm using it with Wisbar Advanced and the Attraction Theme from Lightman. He also made some icons for TodayPlus based on that WA skin. I love how it looks now.

You know the reason why I asked who made Sketch Artist BECAUSE I did a search on google and came up with http://www.vito-tech.com. That link didnt work so therefore I asked you! and since you had it you would know.

Dont assume sometimes!

We're a bit touchy, aren't we? :lol:
Chill out. It was a joke (apparently, some people liked it). If it weren't, I wouldn't have given you the answer, now would I?

Sheesh. Somebody really needs a sense of humour infusion. Or something :mrgreen:

And, you could post your Today screen as well...

Cheers,

srs's TodayPlus wheather plugin looks great. i went to the other forum and downloaded it, but unfortunately it froze my pda. my pda froze right when it goes to the today screen so there was no way for me to uninstall it or open any programs and such. i was forced to do a hard-reset. currently waiting right now for the os to completely reinstall. owell, at least i have a backup of today.
