What is the simplest way to do this without removing the things that are already there? I'm trying to set up a device for someone so it's as simple as possible to do just the things they want, which is basically see a couple of the normal Today screen things (I removed the rest), and launch one application.

Changing the interface

Third-party software can also be used to add items to the Today screen and to give your Windows Mobile phone an entirely new interface. As originally installed, your Windows Mobile Today screen looks something like this:

It does not include shortcuts to programs, instant weather updates, or detailed information about your battery life. But third-party developers have made plug-in programs for the Today screen that can provide more in-depth information and shortcuts. One example of this is the Spb Pocket Plus (from http://spbsoftwarehouse.com), which looks like this:

Each of the stars is a tab that provides a shortcut to battery life, programs, recently viewed web pages, and more.

Another popular Today screen program is the Omega One Battery Pack Pro from.

Users can also download alternative interfaces for Windows Mobile. Two of the best alternative interfaces are the Spb Mobile Shell from and WisBar Advance Desktop from.

These customized screens provide the same information as the Today screen plug-ins but with a more streamlined interface.

 Spb Pocket Plus is a very good app, which would ALSO give you some other EXCELLENT features, such as making Pocket IE a tabbed browser, and EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY useful, making Pocket IE respond to finger-flicks for touch-scrolling like the iPhone interface. – eidylon♦ Apr 12 at 21:47
