Here is the screen shot. In my mind, it would make send that the name of the last caller line up with the first Email account, and any subsequent accounts be listed below it. For example, "Outlook email" would line up horizontally with "Unknown"

Are tasks and appointments the same?

If so, you could modify a last caller to grab the task info from [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Appointments\HomeSc reen]

"Location"="meeting room"
"Subject"="FMEA meeting"

The start time might be tricky to get.

Strange, you don't have the Text Messages (0) line. That line should be right next to "Unknown." Are your using "some unnamed program" for your text messages? If so, that may be why you don't have the Text Messages (0) line, and therefore why it looks like it doesn't line up. Here is what it should look like:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Unknown                        Text Messages (0)
(123) 456-7890                 Outlook Email (7)
                               Other Email (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------

The problem here, is that if I re-order the lines so that the email items show up first and thus Text Messages last, then all those that don't use the "unnamed program" will have "Text Messages (0)" not lining up correctly. It will look like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Unknown                        Outlook Email (7)
(123) 456-7890                 Other Email (2)
                               Text Messages (0)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Not a problem until you have no unread emails. At that point, the email accounts no longer show, so you would have:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Unknown
(123) 456-7890
                               Text Messages (0)
-----------------------------------------------------------

See my dilemma? Maybe I can put Text Messages underneath the last caller info and only the email accounts off to the right, like so:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Unknown                        Outlook Email (7)
(123) 456-7890                 Other Email (2)
Text Messages (0)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Then when no emails, you'd have:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Unknown
(123) 456-7890
Text Messages (0)
-----------------------------------------------------------

And since you don't have the Text Messages (0) line, then things would line up fine for you. Would that end up being ugly for everyone else? What does everyone think?

[nmeister]

the last option sounds fine to me.

Well then...you caught me! I am using "The Text Messaging Program That Should Not Be Named"!!!

And I like the last option personally. That leaves room underneath for the calendar display once it is figured out.

Also, I think that maybe the font size should be increased for the Last Call and the Email addresses. Not sure about everyone else, but my eyes aren't exactly the best and the font can be hard to read.

[Perasite]

Yeah, I reduced the font size to try to keep all the text above the fishies. I can make it at least 1 maybe 2 points bigger. Next one I pull together, I'll change it to the last option. Thanks for the input. And, thanks Andason for the direction. I'll see what I can pull together.

[andason]

Ok.. Try this version of the slider if you would.

It's compiled with ppl 1.25 and is suppose to reduce cpu usage during suspend.

I added next appointment as suggested by 6700yuma, but I would like to know if it is working properly with you as well. If no appointments are scheduled then Subject: Location: will be shown. This is looking at "next" appointments.

Two wallpapers are included, orig ppcgeeks and tach.

If you have more then 2 "other" emails, the appointments will begin to be covered up.

I also move the date to the left of the battery icon and SHORTDATE.
