I modified the "default" skin for the free and amazingly awesome
rlToday (<-- click for link).
I took out all the program links and 2 of the 3 calendars to make it fit on the Treo.
Makes a great message counter that is simple and clean.
For the Treos, combine it with the
msgled.exe that I posted for LED notifications and/or TreoAlerts and you have yourself a nice message system
Directions:
Just copy skin.xml to your \Program Files\rlToday\Default folder, overwriting the orignal and then refresh.
Feel free to modify and post your tweaks, if any.
