I was fooling around with the layout of the home screen on my N800 last night:
Awww, pretty. I found a bunch of great info in this post on TabletBlog.com and got some tips about statusbar management through Flickr comments on another screenshot image post.
I had installed Simple Launcher from the app manager after grabbing it from the application catalog, but that one didn’t have the option to make the background transparent. Just go directly to the Simple Launcher homepage and use the link to the deb package there, that version has a bunch of new options and looks mighty slick. The other non-standard applets I have on there are omweather set to display my home town of San Mateo. And the Yellownotes applet (with color and font size preferences changed) to give me a place to jot down reminders.
I’m not a huge fan of the RSS reader, I want a way to sync the device RSS reader to the reader running on my server. So for now I just use that from the browser. I would also love to have a way to sync the contacts and calendars from my E61 directly over to the device. Contacts wouldn’t have made a huge difference before except for use in the email client, but with Skype available for the device I would like to have the phone numbers there as well.
