FAQ
Q: After enabling operator tab, the tab shows up but is blank?
A: Check your M2D version, it have to be at least version 20. If your M2D came with your rom, you can try this cab. It updates only 3 files of M2D. Don't use if your M2D is not on the rom. Before installing you must close Manila2D. There might be complications but it worked for me on ONYX ULTIMATE 4.4.3 ROM.
Q: After installing digital clock mod operator tab doesn't show any items. How to fix this?
A: Use this digital clock cab instead
Q: Can show other today plugins on the operator tab?
A: No, you have to understand nature this program. It doesn't not install any "plugins" to m2d, it only uses m2d feature that allows to operators to make their own custom tab and allow to users customize that tab. Tab contains shortcuts which are either in grid or listview mode. ( even in my calendar mod, the appointments are shortcuts ) That's all it does.
I'm doing this on my free time so:
If like it, you can always donate me few beers to keep me motivated

I think it originally for operators "value added" programs.. or something like that.

I don't know where "operator" text is assigned, my guess is that it's somewhere in M2D language files.. it would essential to get it changed. tab icon can be changed by modifying m2d image files in \\windows folder..
Operator tab is same kind of launcher tab that the real launcher tab, so layout is assigned in HTCHomeSettings.xml.

list is empty.. okay,
do you have M2D in the rom or have you installed it later?

To change operator name for something else create new string in HKLM\Software|HTC\Manila2D\Operator\
Create new String
ServiceName
String value - Your text

Good work! I have a suggestion for a different use of this (this is what I have always had in mind for the "operator" tab). Can you make it so that Today Plugins can be loaded in it? (ie Weather Pannel, so that I can finally get rid of the M2D weather tab
Thanks and great work once again.

it works) but there's no changes in operator widget
(p.s. ASUS P750 WM6.1)
