Hi all, just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on 3rd party launchers that:

1. support custom background pictures
2. the end user can create his own background images

I tried Yishow, but unfortunately it won't run on my NX70. But if that's the best one, I'm willing to try maybe a newer version???

Thanks for any suggestions...:cool:

If you want to use YiShow, there are two versions of it. You DON'T want to use the YiShow for Clie version. Use the one called YiShow for Palm.

But I would still try ZLauncher, I think you'll probably like it more:D

I, too, fully recommend ZLauncer over anything else out.

Look here for a comparision chart. Keep in mind that Megasoft2000 just released Megalauncher v4.0 today.

Thats a very good comparison especially for people looking for a Launcher to buy and dont know what to get.

I didn't want to unduly influence choice, but I use ZLauncher, CDII rocks!

There is also Facer. It doesn't have all the bells and gadgets of the others. But it does have two things the others don't: a Today page and a small footprint. <500K including skin. Most of the others are running close to 1MB in size. I am not affiliated with Pocketcraft in any way.

What does Zlauncher have that YiShow doesn't. I don't mind adding another Launcher to my list.

Silverscreen, LX, YiShow, (zlauncher maybe).

Is it me or are there very few OS5 compatible skins for zlauncher, I like it better now than silver but there is a lack of themes right now, if there are a bunch, someone tell me.
thanx

MEGALAUNCHER 4 is great !! but with all my progs (and the brillant powerrun) it now takes up over 1 mb!!!!! still i think it's worth it - they now have backgrounds and icons free to download on their website! thought launcher plus was very good as well (all hi-res)

Is there a way to make your own backgrounds in ML 4? And is there some way to use .JPG images? It looks like the support for backgrounds is very limited, but maybe I was missing something.
