Anyone notice the 2 big differences in this shot of the Launcher?

Font selection has a dropdown list and there are no shortcurt arrows on the links? Looks great and can't wait!

OK, let me try again...
no shortcut arrows and tool tips?

Chris -

Will the new version do the change to landscape or will i still need the conversion tools I have?

Thanks

Chris,

I have to agree that this is the best investment I've made for my PPC. I can't wait for the new version.

P.S. Any time you need some more beta testers, you know where to send the note....

Chris-

I noticed from the website that you mention the ability to add Today plug-ins to the dashboard module. Will this be something that's implemented in version 2.001?

Also, are their any additional plug-in modules, like the email & contacts in version 1.009, that are available?

Again, great program! http://www.pocketnow.com/ubb/smile.gif

Let's see if I can get these in order...

No, Dashboard will not inherently be able to switch into landscape mode without the help of a 3rd party tool such as Jimmy's landscape. What the new version will provide is support for landscape mode for those people who have Jimmy's landscape program or some other way to get into landscape mode.

Part of the beta package is a plug-in module that allows you to place Today modules inside of the Dashboard skin. I'm still debating on how to distribute this and whether or not I'll package it as part of the Dashboard release.

For a list of currently available plug-ins, check out the Module page:

Also, be sure to visit Whittaker-Moore's site from the link on that page as I think he's about (or has) released another Module...

Thanks!

I love Dashboard and registered in the early release. Now I have landscape and have had to go back to using the normal today page. THIS SUCKS!

Great to hear that a new version is in the works. I need a landscape skin!!!

(Can you send me some specs on how I can convert the 6 skins that I have made to Landscape mode? Nothing like the present to do it and be ready when the release comes. http://www.monmouth.com/~fblock/dashboard.html )
