What Does Your Today Screen Look Like?

Brad Isaac · #1 08-27-2003, 01:32 PM

There's just something about a nice today screen that puts a new polish on your Pocket PC usage. The other day, I was goofing around with the new build of Wisbar Advance and came across this "nature" skin that I think is one of the best yet

Couple that with Journal Bar (Now working), PI Today and Program Bar and I have everything I need right there!

I am always looking for a new and exciting theme or component to add and I am sure many of you are too. So what does YOUR Today screen look like?

I'm always on the lookout for cool today stuff. I use Wisbar and Dashboard, so I usually use those "skins" on my today page...
Let's see 'em!!!
:P

Hey Brad, what's the agenda app in the last slot of your today plugins?
Thanks!

Brad Isaac · #4 08-27-2003, 07:50 PM

That is PI today, it's a Pocket Informant Today screen plug in.

Not terribly fancy, but I like the sentiment it expresses.

Hey Brad, glad you like the skin

btw, I noticed that you use the battery/memory icon differently than I designed it to, so I scratched a quick fix for the battery button so that it looks nice.
Here it is :

I like that one, Lightman.
Hey, folks, let's keep it up!
BRING ON DA TODAY SCREENZ!

Brad Isaac · #9 08-28-2003, 09:26 AM

Thanks Lightman!
A funny thing... it took me a LONG time of looking at the new battery picture to figure out the difference between it and the one I had!

I suppose that's why I could never make it as a skins expert

thanks again, I think we have our first winner

I change mine about every 5 minutes with the use of RPA ThemeMaster...but this is the Today screen of the moment.
One of my favorites.

Our first provocative entry!

How do I post a picture? There's no upload feature

Brad Isaac · #15 08-29-2003, 11:03 AM

If it is posted on your own or another site, you can link to it here in the forums - if not, you can email it to me at admin(at)pocketpcaddict(dot)com and I'll upload it and send you back a link so you can post it in the forums

g33kb0y · #16 08-29-2003, 03:46 PM

but I like it... if I'm not on my computer I'm probably on the golf course...

(Could that be a limerick contest version of Mastersoft Money on my Program Bar?!?)

Hey, have you guys tried LINKS for the Pocket PC yet? I don't like golf but I LOOOOOVE Links!

I play it every chance I get...great game!

nigeljedi · #21 08-31-2003, 10:57 PM

As the matter of fact, I downloaded it this afternoon to try it out. It's on my "must-have" list!

LightMan · #22 09-01-2003, 04:31 PM

I got the .tsk file from www.pocketpcthemes.com
The theme name is Vampire the Masquerade (based on the Vampire RPG game by White Wolf)

Heh, me too. I don't play golf in real life but I frequently play Links on my PPC.

great game

nigeljedi · #25 09-02-2003, 08:33 AM

Lightman, looks like you've done it again! Great skin!

prismejon · #26 09-05-2003, 09:15 AM

I like to keep it simple and clean, but I still need some info on my Today Screen:

From top to bottom:
- Normal Date plug-in that came with PocketPC 2002
- Normal Owner info plug-in that came with PocketPC 2002
- tAgenda: freeware plug-in that displays tasks and appointments + has shortcuts to calendar etc.
- Battery Bar from Battery Pack 2003 to get an overview of my battery and storage situation. I also display the battery status under my clock.
- Program Bar from Battery Pack 2003 for shortcuts
I've made the theme myself to dream away to warmer locations when the Norwegian winter comes
