This is a today plugin, called my countdown. It let's you put in a date and it will countodwn on the today screen. (itouch24) got me interested in this app when he or she posted a problem with it. What the problem was it was an old version 1.0. This is the update 1.2, which took care of the problem. The problem was after doing a soft reset you lose your settings. But now it's fixed. This will also work on VGA. Anyways, I thought I would post it here since I searched and didn't find anything on the update. Thanks again to itouch24 for getting me interested in this.

Thanks T M Z

Nice find! Not something I am going to use, but it is cool. What would really catch my eye would be if there was a choice to designate the meathod of countdown, designating days, hours, minutes....whatever you like, that would be a conversation starter!!

I looked for that to, with no luck.

Settings > System > Screen > Text Size

Slide it down two notches which I found to be perfect b/c it also makes text message text smaller so I can see more words...
(just seems like more screen real estate for me!)

And in case you don't see the change right away, reboot.

I can't get this to work on my xv6800 - anyone else having issues? It keeps saying 'Countdown not set' even though I've set it to 3days 0months 0years (winter solstice). ??

Duh - nevermind - got it. Sometimes I'm so stupid I amaze myself.
