Add Application Shortcut to Today screen

[icarusbop]

Hello:

Anyone know hoe to put application shortcuts straight onto the today screeen??
I already have claunch for myself, buy am setting up a simple system for mum on an older unit. I was hopinh to get a shortcut to the simpler apps like contacts straight on the today screen.

I know if you install tomtom you get an option in the today list to show tomtom on the list - This is similar to what I want (but not tomtom)

any ideas?

I use Pocket Plus from SPB. It's a great little app that also includes repeating alerts and an option to make the 'close' button really quit the app and not just hide it in background. All highly configureable. Check out Handango for a trial and purchase.

I use cLaunch. It works great and is VERY configurable! AND it's freeware!

I use the following group-settings to get four full sized icon on each "page":
Icon size =32
Icon name enabled
Icon width = 48
Icon name at bottom
Icon name height = 14
Icon margins = 1 hor. and vert.
Window margin = 0

I have enabled "Tap empty space to advance to next group" so that I can page through the icon groups easily.

(edit: didn't catch that you already tried this app! Anyway try my settings. I can't imagine a simpler way to launch from the today-screen. BTW I have turned of the menu bar also because I just use a few icon (four in each group) just like you seem to want too.)

Another option is PHM Pocket Power Tools (or is it Toys?). It has a TrayLaunch application, which allows shortcuts to be placed in it and it displays at the bottom of the Today screen - where the NEW menu item is located. It's freeware as well.

yep: your setting worked great, thanks for the help - I never though of configuring cLaunch like that.
