Calendar, Today themes and 5.0/.323

**blakkwidow** · 10-22-2009, 01:19 PM

The calendar and today screen had a major overhaul on the 5.0 build (not sure if it was on .230 or not as I never tried this when I had .230) but the following now show on the today home screen w/ custom themes:

- tasks
- appts from the other calendars
- alarms

That's all for now. I don't start too many threads but I honestly thought this was worthy of its own rather than to post and it it get lost in the sauce. We've never actually had this feature so I figured most folks won't know to look for it. I know I've been waiting for it for a long time, esp since they first implemented multiple calendars.

Go into options, scroll all the way to the bottom and you can select for them not to show in your calendar. Same goes for tasks.

When I first installed, my options wouldn't allow me to save the changes. Started working correctly after a few battery pulls though and an app installation through DM (not sure if this was related though).

I have done 6 batt pulls, not working.

wrong, when the alarm is on, it shows up. when it is off, it is gone.

In the same options menu you are able to choose whether to show free time or not.

You may want to run your DM to uninstall something and then reinstall it back. Anything, doesn't matter. Mine didn't worked until I reinstalled my meterberry and such. I didn't know if it was related but maybe it's the reboot process that clears it. Let me know...

Once it does let you save the options, from the home screen hit the lock button, then unlock, to refresh the homescreen.

Is there any way to change what shows up on the Today screen? Right now I have Messages then phone and then calendar. I would prefer to get rid of phone and put in SMS. Is there a way to do that?

**cablelayer** · 10-22-2009, 10:43 PM

had to wipe and reinstall. works so far.

If you are using the stock today layout in the options, the answer is no. You can create download a theme that suits your needs in the themes forum. Here's a screenshot of my current theme below.

also, you could try changing the options in your message folder to show sms.
this would display sms messages in the message folder which is what is displayed on the "today" screen.

alarm doesn't normally- they are in the "today" layout and in the calendar portion of that layout the alarm is showing up. (which should be able to be toggled on and off)
