Desktop Agenda - A Today plugin on the standby screen!

Monday, 26. November 2007, 03:35:01

, , ,

One of the 'missing link' in UIQ 3 applications is the display of calendar stuff on the main screen. Especially in the P990. In Sony Ericsson's UIQ 3 smartphones, the main screen is called 'Activity Menu'. Dont ask me why... However, on M600, W950, P1 & W960, the Activity Menu is improved, you can configure them to display some calendar stuff together with other infos.

Out of nowhere, Ares in his post in My-Symbian.Com forum submitted a link to a small application called Desktop Agenda which IMHO, adds real value to P990's standby screen. It's actually a small app (the SIS file is only 29kb!). It reads the built-in database and displays them on the standby screen. here's how it looks like :


The setting is truly a no brainer. Even a schoolkid can configure it. For P990 users, it even works in FC mode. However, since this app is in very early stage of it’s development, it sometimes gets killed by the system and there are a few quirks like the non-adjustable transparency level and so on.


It’s a nice addition to the UIQ 3 applications catalogue and I really looking forward to it being developed further.

the app looks great. definitely desktop needs that.
don't you know if that clocks you have right next to battery icon is also from that app or is it from different app?
thanks

@killswitch

the clock is not from Desktop Agenda but it's from a super-utility called Swiss Manager Pro. IMHO, SM Pro is one of the must haves for UIQ 3 smartphones :wink:

Cheers!
