    Open up some registry editor (I prefer Resco Explorer with Registry plugin, Total Commander CE is nice too) and go to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome
    There's a Tabsetting value here, it's responsible for displayed tabs. There are three visible and three hidden ones. Each tab has its number, that's:
    1 Clock
    2 Favourite contacts
    3 Weather
    4 Favourite apps
    5 WMP/Audio Manager control
    6 Sound profiles (sound/vibrate/silent/auto <- the last one is useful)
    Default value for Tabsetting is 1,3,4 <- that means three tabs are displayed: 1st, 3rd and 4th one. To display all six tabs, enter 1,2,3,4,5,6 then untick HTC Home in Today items, click OK and tick it back. Sometimes contacts tab doesn't work.

    Oh, and there's an app for configuring HTC Home, it's called HTC Home Customizer:

    If you don't like messing with registry, it's a perfect solution.

    @Razu, the project is discontinued because of low usability. Sorry.

    At least the interface is a lot better even if it doesnt improves any usability.

    The problem is: usability is rather worse that when using stock Pointui interface or Sense.

    If you want a good-looking and usable interface, try to combine HTC Home/HTC Plus with TouchFLO 2D/3D or install FEWidgets Ultimate.

    granostaj,

    from what I could see on YouTube (which isn't much) I understand your goal was to create a Titanium-like UI combined with the flexibility of PointUI...

    This idea is good - could be mine, I actually thought it was :-) Imho I see a great potential behind Titanium's concept and I will definitely make an attempt to implement these kind of controls based on PUI... One question: How do you make PUI using a custom font (you mentioned "Sans")?

    I've made separate graphics for each letter and wrote a class able to show any string on the screen using there single letters.

    Oh gee... this of course undermines the idea of having a "slim" suite with low GDI memory usage - and causes various padding problems while using combinations of letters.

    Still don't understand why PointUI does not give us the possibility to use custom fonts with full gdi support. There was a dicussion oon this topic before here but there's still no closing answer.
