The buttons should work as programmed now. If not, do a soft reset and you should be golden.

Thanks. Worked perfectly and loving it. I've found a few slick today plugins that I've tried. However, still looking for a plugin for use with second today that would allow phone/data/bluetooth toggling. I tried Effcom, but i believe it may have been designed for prior WinMo versions because it did not display properly. Ideally, the plugin would have separate icons for controling phone / data / bluetooth individually. Any suggestions. I've been searching for quite awhile.

Thanks .

Does the 'Today' softkey in your screen shot show up in every tab in TF3D or just on the home key? I like the idea of Second Today because I really would like a setup with GPSToday and a few other things but I really love the TF3D setup so far. I had tried Second Today on my Touch but could not get it set up right. Granted I didn't give it too much of a chance but I need a very easy and simple way to switch between TF3D and Second Today and would prefer not using one of the Diamond 'hard' keys.

If I could get the Today softkey to only appear on the home screen so I do not loose access to my full inbox or contacts list that would be great.

It only shows up on the Home key in TF3D. The other TF3D screens are not affected. It only took me a couple of minutes to get it working on my Diamond.

My plugins weren't sticking using secondtoday (cool idea though) when trying it with pocketplus and manila2D (two today screens), so I found a mortscript at xda for the touch flo3d that I modified for manila2D and then linked to a hard key - so now I use that to switch over to the manila2D. I'll attach the mortscript file.

when my phone boots up, it boots to 2ndToday by default. is there anyway for it to be running in the background behind TF3D?

My Mogul boots to TF2D, but I can't get the keys set up in the config. I got "Manila" set up as the right soft key on my second screen, but nothing sticks for the TF2D screen.

I'd like to use the right key in TF2D, so I still have the "Phone" button on the left. I see that kevank used the left key. I'll try deleting the settings and creating again. If that doesn't work, I'll try a reinstall. This is just too cool to not get it working right.

I sought and came across SecondToday as well. The problem I have now is that after reset, the SecondToday will load and stay, TF3D will not load until I press the softkey mapped to it. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks.

That's my problem too. I want TF3D to load and 2ndToday to run in the background.

I was installing several other apps at the same time. It was working as it should (loading the TF3D and resting on that screen). I then loaded a hack to remove the top curtain and a % battery meter, it was after that when TF3D no longer loaded.

After that I uninstalled the no top curtain hack and TF3D started to load. I then installed a new version of % battery meter, and TF3D stopped loading again.

I suspect it is sensitive to load order and timing of startup. It appears to be fragile.

I also noticed that I couldn't change the plug-in settings after they were set. I had to delete the settings file and reconfigure.

The Plugins screen shows "TouchFlo" as an option. I don't have TouchFlo installed, so is that TF2D?

Some of my "normal" Today screen options aren't available to pick from for the Second Today screen. Has anyone successfully added the missing Today Items like Date and Calendar? If not, I would actually like it to boot to my "regular" Today screen, and toggle to TF2D for my Second Today screen.
