THIS IS ONLY FOR THE NEW RHODIUM MANILA
First off, huge thanks to showaco on xda for his background for all tabs for the new manila and for pointing me in the right direction.
This was inspired by showaco's BBextreme 5.0 homepage. What I did was
-remove the link for call history from the home page
-move the date and alarm above the clock
-move up the calendar
-get rid of the up/down arrows
-center the carrier name
What this allowed me to do is display three appointments on the main screen without having to flip the clock. With the original configuration, I was able to see only two at a time one of which was half hidden under the bottom slider.
I do not know if this will work without having background for all tabs so I packaged it along with my mod.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this will mess thing up in landscape a bit; the first appointment will not show up
UPDATE I have now removed the carrier name and pushed the date and time to the top and removed the calendar text when there are no upcoming appintments, it is now almost a blank tab to enjoy your wallpaper
