Today Screen Meters

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Axim scene (got one for xmas)

I was wondering how to get meters like these on the Today screen?

Those look very similar to Bob_55's Resco Meters.

You can also have meters in iLauncher and also in Spb Pocket Plus, I believe. I have meters in an iLauncher tab. You can see them on my website or Here (click on the full size link for better viewing).

Welcome to Aximsite, r4b!

Those meters look as though they are part of the default today screen though, they aren't in a tab

The example you posted may be on the Today screen via the Resco Today Plug-in.

Thanks a lot!

BTW, does anyone know where I can find skins for the Today plugin? The ones on the Resco site aren't very good, and I've searched the forums

The screen shot posted has couple programs installed...
On the very top (where the start menu) the program is Wisbar Advance.
The rest is either Resco or Spb.
The free today's theme will not look as cool as the one you posted : ) sorry.

I've attached my "desktop" screenshot.
The top bar is the Wisbar Advance.
The date is default
The 3rd one down is the Battery Pack Pro
The 4th one down is the WeatherPanel
And the last of course is the default calendar.
The background is the free today's theme that I downloaded off the web.
Oh, and on the very bottom, the soft keys, you will notice that the button has changed (the one on the right), this is also build by another program called New Menu for WM5.

Good luck on your new Axim, it's going to be a lot of fun customizing it : )

Thanks, cchiang12! I wondered if that might be Battery Pack Pro; did not have a chance to go see.
