with all that the new kitchen offers ... including making "true" end users as myself delver into the ideas of cooking roms ... has someone made an OEM from the 1.5 cab? I would love to add this to my rom, but just not ready to make my own OEM.

I'm working on it, but it'll be a few days yet.

OK, for you SPB Mobile Shell nuts, the official Son-of-Commuter-240 WeatherPanel theme (built to fit the SPB Mobile Shell tab) can be found here

No - it's the same. I've add a cab file for installing the icons to the storage card though...

Hey Mal, curious - you think you might buy and use this when released?

Definitely.

I'm shocked at even saying that as in the past I couldn't stand SPB's software, but the coding in this app is top notch. The 1.5 series addresses a lot of issue effectively.

Considering all it does: "Now" Screen, Start Menu replacement, Virtual Tabs it runs so quickly and efficiently, which is rare for such a tranformative application.

I just really like the idea of having multiple full plugins, but hidden e.g. like your amazing weather skin I did the same for my calendar: display 10 days, all without comprising anything.

The Start Menu launcher is so simple and intuitive, it's really brilliant.

Kudos to SPB for this. And their SPB Phone Suite ain't half bad either (some of the profiles don't work as well; SBSH PhoneWeaver though is also a nice alternative.)

I'm listening OK, another question: I've only loaded this on an emulator (to build the WP theme) - not my Treo. Is there anything I need to watch out for with beta 4 (such as log files as you mentioned earlier)?

Thanks!

It turns out those were just zero-byte files so not doing anything.

However, I still had some left over from previous versions so I just deleted them and curiously enough, they didn't elicit the restriction warning via AS deletion like they did earlier, which tells me they are no longer active.

In other words I'm quite positive that by Beta 4, those harmless files are not even created in the first place (there were like 12 probably).

Other than: honestly it's very stable. I have never had a crash or freeze on my device. It's the most solid beta I've run so I do not hesitate at all in recommending to install it
