Software Blog > Windows Mobile Today Screen Tools

One of the best tools that Windows Mobile offers PDA owners is the Today Screen. It’s your primary source of information and can be set to appear every time that you turn your PDA on, reminding you of things to do or places to be. With a little bit of free software you can make the Today screen even more useful and there’s nothing better than a bit of extra utility for no outlay.

The first tool is a replacement for the standard calendar Today plugin: Calendar+. The default calendar plug-in is very restricted, only showing the next appointment or next day’s appointments. Not much use for forward planning. Calendar+ however, allows you to select the number of future appointments to display (up to a month), the format that they are displayed in and how much of the Today screen will be dedicated to the purpose.

The second tool is an application launcher from Scott Seligman, which manages to be both slick and lightweight at the same time, visually integrating into the Today screen in a way that commercial competitors fail to do. As first installed the program creates shortcuts to all the applications on your device, however by simply adding or removing files from the launcher folder you can customize this to your own taste.
