It’s a simple and powerful “Today Screen” replacement for Windows Mobile. I wrote it in C# using the Compact Framework. In this project I implemented a few firsts for me, including finger gestures and animation. I’m very happy with the outcome. I also spent many hours on the Graphic Design of all of the icons and buttons. (Graphic Design ain’t my thing!) This program is far better than the original Today Screen in terms of ease of use. I can now quickly get to the things I use most often. I may post the source or the exe if people are interested.  Let me know.

Here are some of the features.

1. The Home Screen. Here you can get to your most used programs.

2. You can change the programs by right clicking on them.   (I made extra images that are installed with the exe, including a Calender Icon as well as a few others.)

3. The Contact Screen. Here you can call your top friends by just clicking on their face!

4. You can delete a contact’s shortcut by right clicking on the contact and clicking delete. To add a contact just click on the plus icon and choose a contact.

5. There are actually 16 saved shortcuts. If you make a finger gesture dragging from the bottom to top, you can see two more rows of contacts.
6. You can use finger gestures to change tabs as well as clicking on the tabs. To move by gesturing, drag from the right to the left to move to the next tab.  Drag from the left to the right to move back.
7. Ken’s Today screen shows more notifications than the default notification bar does.  Ken’s Today screen has: Email, text message, missed calls, voicemail, bluetooth connection, wifi connection, network, network strength, phone speaker, and battery power.

8. When there is music playing, the name of the artist, track, and album scroll across the screen under the time as a marquee.

9. In the settings tab you can change the phone to automatically turn the speaker phone on. Also you can change what happens when clicking on the time.

That’s it!
