I'm getting bored, so I've been looking into programming in c/c++, which I know can be compiled to run on PPC. So I was wondering, what language is used for today plugins (c++?) and how do you make it actually WORK as a today screen plugin, rather than just a program? Tutorials?

P.S. Sorry, I just realized that this is in the wrong section, maybe a mod can move it?

As far as I know, C++ is the only way to code a today plugin. I've never tried to write one my self, so I can't give you any links to tutorials, however a quick search should find one.

I believe there is an article on MSDN about this, and you might also have success looking around the forum as some nice people here post the source code as well as the files.

C++ is the way to go- but there is also a C++ plugin that can load managed C# code... But I've never tried it..
