What program do you display when your clie is in the cradle?

[Robot]

Hey,

I recently installed that program CradleSnd. What it does is it launches any program when your clie gets placed in the cradle. It also quits the program when it is taken out.

I was kind of wondering what people have displayed when it is in the cradle.

I wished there was conduit/program that displayed a small calendar, a clock, a 5 day forecast, and a scrolling news ticker, on one screen. I doubt I would ever see this.

I know about World Mate, but you still have to click around to see everything. Plus I made the graphics for MobiMate and I am sick of looking at them.

Right now I am displaying Mega Clock.

[pghart]

SplashClock autoturns on after a period of time and displays date, time and photo slideshow of all pictures on MS or RAM

It's also HiRes+ looks great

[Narniahopper]

I'm always afraid of SplashClock because it won't turn off if the cradle loses power. Scared me at least once when I woke up to a nearly drained Clie.

Other than that, great program.

[Robot]

Though SplashClock is very nice but I was hoping to have something a little my useful and not just pretty

[LanMan]

Big Clock

Since my crandle is in the office, DateBK

Wassup!!

ditto. the cradle is right next to my computer, so I've got everything I need on a 14" LCD right in front of me

Today

I have been looking hi and lo and I can't find what I want to display on my clie while it is in the cradle. So last night I redesigned Weather Manager by Tiny Stocks. Dig the forecast ticker. Look here: http://www.rgentile.com/wm.jpg

I sent it to them last night. I hope they go for it.

I redesigned the existing current one but I aways felt the layout was little cumbersome.

[crh3f]

Nice! Keep us posted...

[<lie<onvert]

I usually run Bigclock on my NR70 and Silverscreen with the Ticker on my S320

[pipedaddy]

BigClock or PhotoStand, set to display clock and calendar over pictures of my family.

[mochant]

Either Wassup! or Agendus in week List mode. Either tells me a lot. Wassup! is more of a summary while Agendus shows the details.

Of late, I've taken to leaving the "Power stays on in cradle" option unchecked and let the Clie just go to sleep after 3 minutes.

[Got_Clie?]

I don't display anything. It sits in the charger both at work and at home when not in use, but I just turn it on when I'm ready to use it. For me, personally I see no need to have a program "ON" all the time.

[hherbzilla]

Usually DateBk5 or Shadow.

[Robot]

Well it looks like Tiny Stocks is taken the bait. They are interested in changing Weather Manager to look like what I made. They even mentioned that people could swap out the backgrounds and make there own. So that would be cool to have different skins.

Look again I added a clock and calendar

that looks really cool Robot. I'm tempted to d/l w.manager myself but reading Palm Gear's reviews, most of them were mentioning how inaccurate the forecasts usually were :confused:

[rquinlan19]

that looks way cool robot. can't wait to see a working model

[Chou Chou]

Robot, that looks great. Can you add an alarm? Mobimate's is unreliable.

[Robot]

Yeah I can. But it has been a while and I still havn't seen anything. They must be busy with other things.

[GodSpeed]

My clie is off as it distracts me from my 2 monitors...

[DanT]

My Clie would no longer staying on while it's sitting on the cradle eventhough I put a check on the 'Stay on in Cradle'. So I set the CradleSnd to launch AlwaysOn. Most of the time the Clie displays my A5 Task & Event list for the week as you see here (http://www.cliesource.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=599&papass=&sort=1&thecat=500).

[Wolfsmoke]

Datebk, most days. Palm Reader once in a great while.

DanT - those are GREAT icons!

Put in another vote for Bigclock.
Might try Pocket Aquarium though.

[L-3]

SplashPhoto - Slide Show mode. With about 75 (different/favorite) pics in it.

Same here. But also will check out Pocket Aquarium.

[fjs]

HotSync :D

[NX70BOY]

LOL. Yes, my personal favorite also.

[avega]

With 2 computers I hardly see my clie screen.

I keep using 3 at the same time...

[ShellyBelly]

Agendus Pro if I am focused, WorldMate Pro if I am playing around:)

[Vidge]

Datebk most of the time. Occasionally, Photostand

[*YellowRose*]

Datebk5 for me . . . I know, I'm BORING. :rolleyes:

[mykelfurman]

MS Import. I use the clie as another hardrive for my files that I want to keep mine. Nudge nudge.

[kp*]

I usually just leave it on whatever app it was on when I was last using it, which in the cradle is almost always Datebk5, or ZLauncher if I've just exited an app.

I'd like to have something useful come on after a certain period of inactivity. This thread has given me some ideas, I'll have to look into it. I ran the trial of Pocket Aquarium a couple times before, but it was a little jerky and buggy. Now that I've got an NX, maybe I should try it again. I love aquariums, especially aquarium screen savers because they don't have to be cleaned!

[tprime76]

Acidimage in the slideshow. Kind of makes it a digital photo frame on my desktop. One of the other 500 uses for the clie.

The Matrix Screensaver

LOL this is funny, I'm trying it, it looks nice!

[n2ifp]

I am trying the Matrix Screensaver too :)

[SamuraiCatJB]

I used the photo slide show.... :) sometimes my pics sometimes pictures of a friend. :)

[avega]

I liked it, this is my favourite of the week (decuma was for the past week)

[jimroad]

I usually have my system folder showing. Not too exciting.

Today, I got into a rumble like a young child and got a cute shiner. I' glad I didn't have my Clie with me at the time. My attoney is gonna go after the other guy and if all goes well, I might upgrade.

[kula_girl]

Ok call me a dummy but I can't get this Pocket Aquarium to go into fullscreen, it won't let me put my VG up but theres a big white gap where it should be. And the tools are apparently down in this white area because if I touch screen in lower left it changes stylus function. Am I missing something? Helpppppp....lol

As Always HAVE A GREAT DAY !!!!

That sounds like the same problem that made me not buy it for my NR. Right now on my NX it's working fine, and I may purchase it (I forgot it was so reasonably priced -- I was thinking it was like ten bucks). But I have been disappointed in the past with that white-screen thing the couple times I've demoed it before. It may yet pop up again. I remember it sometimes worked on my NR, and then it would get all screwy.

[ayasin]

There are 2 clie's and a T|C on my desk displaying the matrix screensaver...it looks pretty sweet :)

Excellent idea. I picked a really nice one up here. (http://www.brothersoft.com/Desktop_Utilities_Screensavers_What_is_the_matrix_screensaver_13691.html) I'll try to post a pick...hold on there's a message showing up here on my screen..."Follow the white rabbit."??!

Ok here's the actual URL

For some reason the link keeps adding stuff into the middle of it.

Doesn't run in Hi-res+ for me????

[avega]

really? It runs fine (hi res+) in my NX70V

[n2ifp]

Originally posted by avega

Mine run HiRes+, but that's about it. It doesn't come on when I put it in the cradle nor does it come on after it shuts down, so I give up :(

[avega]

Same thing here, I did what the 'manual' says and I have to start it manually. The ON and OFF setting don't change anything for me.

[ricleo]

hmmm....it starts automatically for me. Switch to on in the matrix screensaver and exit. Uncheck stay on in cradle and change the "switch off after" time to 30seconds. It should activate after 30 seconds when you put the clie into the cradle with power on. After the first instance it works, you can check or uncheck stay on in cradle, and put any time you want for the switch off after how many minutes.

[ir803]

I love the matrix screen saver.
I am currently developing some screen savers in flash. Everyone who has OS5 can have flash player so it's gotta be used for something. so far I have made one basic screen saver which looks pretty cool. You can play audio player in the background if you want, this is just for AC cradle use otherwise it will soak up your battery pretty quick.

I will post it on my website www.cliemax.co.uk as soon as it's ready. Oh! and it will be free.

[handyent]

In fact, ricleo's instructions are thorough enough to have The Matrix Screensaver for Palm OS 5 autorun. Again, please, check out if your cradle is connected to AC power. Place the device in the cradle carefully in one move. You should hear only one system beep upon placing.

The screensaver features full Palm compliance and does not override your system preferences. Thus, it may conflict with "hack" applications like Hackmaster, Tealmaster, etc. Disable "hacks", do a soft reset and then give another try to the Matrix Screensaver. Please, report conflicts with "hacks" and other applications to Support.

If you still have problems and I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact Support at support@handyent.com.

Quick question about displays sitting next to your monitor:

Is there any way to display the Clie’s screen on a monitor? I mean with or without a computer. I know the resolution wouldn’t be so hot, but there used to be Margi’s Presenter-To-Go for visors which would do the trick. Anything for Clies?

[johnsoax]

I see that it was updated. I tried it out on Friday and it wasn't hi-res+ then. That was a quick update.

[mathwhiz99atucb]

This sucks! The Matrix screen saver only works on OS5 devices. It would probably be too CPU intensive for my T615 anyways...

Alas, I am relegated to launching Today when my Clie is in its cradle.

:D ~Nick~ :D

[evaoni]

I have zmatrix (http://zmatrix.sourceforge.net/) running on my desktop and the matrix screensaver on my new NX80...looks pretty cool! I wish there were more options for the OS5 matrix screensaver...like smaller text...

[evaoni]

Ahhhhhhhh! If you press a hardware button (to go to a different app) or hotsync while the matrix screensaver is on, you lose the status bar AND virtual graffiti! ugh =\
