Yeah... it's off of my phone

too big
too slow
too power hungry

too bad - it looks nifty

Yeah big difference. WA is a task manager. The home plugin shows three tabs, one with the time and phone info, Weather and lastly a launcher.

A better comparison would be with Mobile Shell.

Has anybody noticed a large battery drain with this plugin installed? It seems to be killing mine.

I was talking more in regards to Wisbar Advance Desktop

LOL, why have one when you can have double the fun.

After using this for a day, some thoughts.
It doesn't slow things down as bad as it seemed initially.
There doesn't seem to be any way to alter any settings on it. For instance, right now, both the center and left icons on the home tab open up text messages. It really should be that one of them is SMS and the other is either email or VM. Truly ideal would allow four buttons to have all four.

It would be nice if the launcher tab allowed some sort of launcher for "Send SMS" or "soft reset" or "today settings" like iLauncher does.
How about a battery meter? Signal strength?
(Is there a way to get rid of my clock in the topbar so that when this plugin is running I don't have two clocks there?)
The weather function is really nice. I haven't had any issues with the current images, so I'm not going to mess with it unless I do. I successfully changed the local cities to work for me. It is a little annoying that it can't download updates while connected via Activesync, but no big deal.

good information.. I know that my clock in the top right doesnt appear unless i am in another window and not on the today screen, so only one clock appears at a time. I have noticed the email and txt message icons work properly if you are using them for the first time IE whichever you open first, thats what both icons open.

I am also very interested in kdoweb's OEM he made out of this. How do I incorporate it into the new helmi kitchen? Do i unzip yur file into an "Optional_HTCHOME" folder? also, do we just include the file luv2chill posted with all the other files in that same folder?

Thanks again your all yur help with improving this plugin!

I'd like to know how you have this happening. I'd be fine if mine was like this also.

I haven't seen this happen as I didn't get any email today, but I might experiment with it tomorrow.
Either way, it shouldn't work that way!

Good night.

Hmm I really dont know what I did differently. I run a pretty basic rom from the Helmi 3.5 1.02 kitchen. I dont have any addition theme type software installed (wisbar, any type of weather app). It just works! =]

If u have wisbar advance 2, u can hide the clock in Clock Settings in Wisbar Settings.
