how do you capture the today screen on your computer?

first i would like to say thanks to you guys that for all the work you have done with the different post on this page.
i have seen in different threads you guys are putting pictures of the screens of your phones on the threads. this would be a great help for me at my work and for different threads in the furture.
so if you guys could help me out that would be great,
thanks
xnview is a freeware app for pocket pc that includes a function to take screen captures after a few second delay. It also beats the pants off the default picture viewer, but of course that's my opinion. Works well from the storage card as well.
hi
u can also use pocket PC controller, it is packed with features including recording your activity lika a video, i think overall a great application.

I use MagicSS (free) from here:
http://www.louterrailloune.com/index_old.php?page=magicss
I've assigned it to a hardware button and can take instant screenshots of anything including the today screen.
i use jeyo mobile companion to capture a screenshot directly in the computer. there are other screen capture programs that you can use.
then i upload the file at http://img162.imageshack.us/ and copy the link that comes out, pasting the said link to my post
Please do read the General forum here at XDA-Dev - I've also posted a full overview of all these questions there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275930

move phoneAlarm to bottom screen - Hima

Help.. attached is my current Today screen..
i want to keep my Hima as content free as i can so i only installed SPB pocket plus 4, changed today theme with a full black one, and installed PhoneAlarm.. that's what i have right now.. I want to move the PhoneAlarm to the bottom most part of the screen where i also took out the screen rotate/power and wireless comm manager icons via reg hack.
can anyone please help? i tried using WAD but it's too big for me.. anyway i can just tweak the PhoneAlarm itself?
any ideas will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!
U have to edit ur Registery Settings For Ur today screen (i.e. their order numbers)..i think
There is a very good explanation on the PhoneAlarm website on how to edit your skin. That should do the trick.
There's also some old tiny today plugin (can't remember it's name, sorry) that adds just empty space between other today plugins.

AFAIR it's called "Spacer".

thanks for the replies! im in the office ryt now and i can't install spacer yet.. BUT.. if it's a plug-in, then it would do the same as adding a new plug-in to move it.. then a white scrollbar will come up on the right... RIGHT? (hope im wrong...) i'd try it.. anybody else got ideas? how about that registry mod thing.. any clue what key values i need to modify ?
thanks!
concentrate on the phonealarm skin

downloaded it not from scarybear site but on

set it on 33pixels...
perfect!!! thanks everyone!!!
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was on Pocketmax, else I would have given you the link.
I advice everyone to always check the original writer's website for all your software, both for PC and PDA.
In general they give better support, more information, they like to be in touch with their users, comments and suggestions can improve a product in many ways. Most offer free beta's for serious testers, some offer free full products for beta testers and I've seen more than once that writers released their older products to the public domain while they're still on sale on the shopping cart sites.
And of course it's safer...
In most cases you can find a link to the writer's site in the About screen, the Help or a Readme. Or you can Google (sorry Google, I continue to use it as a verb)

I'm interested in developing for Windows Mobile myself, and I don't even have a mobile device yet. I've looked into it a little bit, and it sounds like it'll be a little bit of work to get everything setup, but once it's setup it shouldn't be too hard.
I found a lot of info directly from Microsoft. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/default.aspx and check out the links in the development section on the left.
It looks like you'll need the SDK, the .NET framework, an emulator to simulate different devices running Windows Mobile, and Visual Studio .NET. Visual Studio may not be absolutely necessary, but I'd guess it'll make things easier.

[HELP] Help testing Trial mode for my app, SuperTimer

I need help testing the trial experience for my app SuperTimer. Here's the link:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/supertimer/781c3500-4f9e-4e0a-925d-2db24aee50c0
Please let me know if trial works (there should be only one timer working and a button to buy the app). You can only test if you did not buy the app in the first place and only if you have a WP8 device (please let me know which device you have).
Thanks for your help.
Giovanni
