Want both TF3D and Today Screen?

If you like Touch Flo 3D, but also occasionally have a ping of longing for the orginal Today Screen that WM has, then you will definitely want to read this thread over at XDA....

It allows you to switch between your Touch Flo screen and the original Today screen of WM 6.1... This is where you can download it... It is a .RAR file.. It has the .CAB inside...

As described by the creator...

Quote:

It's a simple program that allows us to switch between 2D or 3D Manila and the "Today" of Windows. Allows you to set your screen "Today" with your favorite plugins and Manila also used simultaneously.

Thanks to Darren for telling me this was originally confusing...

Also... This program has been reviewed by Darren...... He personally does not recommend this app... I tend to agree with his opinion...

SWEEEET! Thanks for the heads up. Much more responsive than secondToday or mToday. You may want to cross-post this into the Weather Panel Thread. There has been discussion about using a second today program since TF3D doesn't play nice with any other plugin and a lot of us "Weather Panel Freaks" were looking for a better way to enjoy the new VGA look of WP. Ought to be good for a few more thanks

I wonder if they could get this working with the Bell UI also...

hey darren,
i was looking at this app a week ago wondering if it was indeed better than 2nd today... there were still bugs when i first read up on it and i also heard it takes up a lot of memory. What did you find about it that you don't like? I was tempted to test it out, but if there's a legitimate reason to stick with 2nd today then I'll let it wait. BTW, 2nd today has been good to me and the plugins i use work perfectly, so i don't have a reason to switch really.

its a mem. hog. does same thing as second. launches from softkey, same as second. 3 of my 5 plugins were all jarbled (couldnt read them) im very happy with second t. same app. that has a bigger mem.usage and plugins dont all show. dont get the app. really. wp looked the same, so its not worth it. good part was, it uninstalled easily.

I installed it and have had mtoday. I do not know about the memory that Darren spoke of because I uninstalled mtoday but it seems to me like the transition from tf3d to today screen and vice versa is instant where as with mtoday not so much.

I liked that in the video he was using finger gestures to switch between the 2. I am not sure how he did it, but it is something that I presume would be easy to do with other software. I have a couple of plugins active and they are all fine. I am going ot set up rss hub and see if it looks ok.

I am not saying Darren is wrong but my memory is at 37% and I do not think it is too bad.
