Today Screen Fiddling!!

[Rainbow-Lentil]

Hi all

Have now virtually achievd my perfect TODAY screen, but for ONE problem. It is just SLIGHTLY too large, thus bringing up a scroll bar on the right hand side- with around 1mm of scroll!!

I have done all I can to shrink and move things, and I believe I now have 2 options left- neither of which I know how to do......

1) Slightly reduce font size on owner information (which I want to keep), AND?OR get the phone no. oto the same line as my name.

2) I wish to keep the screen lock option that appears on today by default (the padlock that stops any screen activations in your pocket). Am wondering if I can add this to one of my SPB PocketPlus tabs as a shortcut- but have no idea where the .exe file is to point to.

Any help much appreciated,

Justin

Yer tiz.......:p

Don't laugh- but I love the colouration of the guava theme with the black of the orbit! - just don't like black with black

You can just.... see the tip of the "device unlock" padlock at the bottom of the screen. All is adjusted to optimum (as far as I can tell)- apart from the 2 points I mentioned at the start of the thread- owner info, and device lock shortcut.

Thanks again

Hi bro,
If you made some search through the net you would find the solution. I've made search, I've found the souliton. :)

Just try the attached file, I think that's exactly what you need...:)

Cheers,

cant you make the size of pocketbreeze plugin a little smaller?

[ChiefmasterB]

Or just reduce the size of SPB Diary... in worst case there appears a scroll bar in the Diary window...

SPB diary, and pocket plus have been made as small as possible. The scroll bar to the right is what I am trying to get rid of, ans the today screen extends down too far.

zsitvayb- thanks mate- that zip file has allowed me to shortcut the device lock onto the spb tabs. This has reduced the info at the bottom, and lost me the scroll bar. Can now see 5 days of wether- not 4!!

Would still be interested though in any way of tinkering with the owner info appearance on the today screen....

I use wisbar advanced3, it has the option of removing the soft keys from the today screen, then using AEButton plus I made the soft key buttons have the same function as they originally did, soft key/1 press, contacts/long press, and I have lost no functionallity at all with a bit more real estate. Hope that makes sense. Also the features of WA3 are great and your today screen would look even better with some nice WA3 icons on the taskbar. If only it was free.

Thanks unique boy (tempted to call you uniqua- but unless you have young kids, or are a student you may not know the "backyardigans"!!).

Understand what you are saying- interesting idea. Does the wisbar affect speed at all??

That's not quite true. Remove one of the tabs (in Diary settings). After that you can decrease the height by another 20 picsels or so.

But this would then lose the fuctionality that I built up???

Use this cab to remove soft keys

That's not quite true. Remove one of the tabs (in Diary settings). After that you can decrease the height by another 20 picsels or so.

If you are using SPB 2.5.5 you can make the tabs horizontal and then add a custom tab and inside the custom TAB move the weather or any other today plugin...!

Like what I have done on my screen...

cheers

Have you tried using slide to unlock.

I find this great and you wouldnt need the lock icon on the screen.

Just a though and help you need pm me

As far as I can tell WA3 does not slow down my artemis. The skin I use is called "reflections" it can be found on lakeridge's forum. Nice new wait cursor, lovely cascading menus, float window. I like it.

Thanks to all- certainly a few ideas there to try.

Keep up the good work- invaluable resource!!!!!!
