MAKE A FULL BACKUP (ideally on a card) BEFORE USING.
THIS IS BETA TEST SOFTWARE.
Accessorizer is a unique utility that takes almost
any application or control panel and creates a
Desk Accessory (DA) that launches it on top of the
current application (and lets you come back to it
when done), assuming you have enough memory.
Accessorizer works on PalmOS 5.x.
A DA is a special applet that can be run on top of
another application, by use of a DA launcher. The nice
thing about a DA is that it doesn't force you to exit
your previous application. Thus, a notepad DA would let
you make notes while inside a web browser, and then come
right back to the web browser. There are a lot of DAs
that do lots of things, but DA afficionados always want
more, and Accessorizer can do such things as produce a
DA to calibrate your digitizer (just generate a DA for
the Digitizer control panel), view your contacts (just
generate a DA for your Contacts application), and so on.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install Accessorizer.prc.
2. Run Accessorizer. There may be a lengthy pause
when you first run it, and a somewhat shorter one
when you generate a DA.
3. Select an application.
4. Press "Generate".
5. Install your new DA in your DA launcher.
If an application does not show up in the list, that's
because either Accessorizer can't create a DA for it,
or it has already created a DA for it.
Note that you need to have sufficient memory to launch
one application on top of another. Not all applications
will be compatible.
SUGGESTIONS
You might want to download MetaDA from Palmgear.com. MetaDA is a DA that
pops up a list of all your other DAs. This way, all you need to do is to
assign MetaDA to an action or put it in a favorites list, and you can
then access all your other DAs.
Some applications that it might be nice to Accessorize include:
- Calendar
- Tasks
- Contacts
- Calculator
- Digitizer
FOR UPGRADE AND UNINSTALL DIRECTIONS, SEE readme.txt

: France :) Forum posts: 1106 Uploads: 0 File comments: 3 | Hi 
AntoinePierre told me about your software and I gave it a try 
I have a Clie UX50 so landscape 480x320 and the beta 0.36.
I made serveral DA (snappermail, Datashield...) and I tried to launch them using ZL, Da Launcher and McPhling.
It seems that sometimes McPhling fails to launch a DA, DA Launcher never fails 
For example I was in AcidImage, I could summon mcphling but when I taped a DA, it was not launched one time on 3. No problem with Da Launcher.
I had quite some issues though, all the DA are launched in 320x320 and I've read the answer you did to tolololo.
The fact is sometimes it's possible to resize a DA (Snapper mail for example) from 320x320 to 480x320 it seems it's a bit random.
The fact is the VG is quite corrupted, the wifi icon is "copied" to its left and sometimes the VG just "disepears" and goes white.
The most disturbing / annoying fact is that when I come back from the DA, the launcher (ZL / Clie Launcher) or the software (AcidImage in my example) remains in 320x320 too. Sometimes it's possible to resize it in 480x320 retracting the VG, sometimes it's not possible at all as the arrow to tap is greyed
I guess some softwares would been far better in 480x320, not full screen mode, but full screen with the Status Bar which also has the "home" button to quit the DA. Moreover on clie we have the "back" button which exits a DA most of the time
Last thing, I had some resets (MemoryMgr.c Line 3564) when I tried to launch a DA but no data loss so far
So yes it's a great software which is really interesting, too bad some DA remain in 320x320 and then back from DA sometimes the Clie is stucked in 320x320 too
I tried to cheat using Code Diver and changing some DA attributes, but nothing

: France :) Forum posts: 1106 Uploads: 0 File comments: 3 | There is something weird using your DA actually...
I tried to make screenshots to show you what I was meaning and I realized something...
If I make screenshots before using one of the DA generated by your software, they are done, as they should be, in 480x320.
BUT after I used one of your DA, ALL screenshots strangely are done in 320x320...
This didn't happend with all the DA I used so far with my CLIE, only with yours.
I wonder why.

Could you elaborate? Which base app are you using and which DA are you launching?

Forum posts: 0 Uploads: 0 File comments: 3 | Accesorized apps take up the whole screen Accesorized apps take up the whole screen (just like the original apps), so I would very much like a pref/setting/click/something that can "minimize" an Accessorizer-created DA.
For example, when I create and invoke CalcDA, I want to have a way to shrink that DA down to a little tiny bar or button if I want to do that. |

Forum posts: 268 Uploads: 0 File comments: 3 | Hello Alex,
Are the DAs generated by the different version of Accessorizer identical?
In other words if I upgrade my Accessorizer do I need to regenerate the DAs?

That might be correct but if u have your home button mapped to go elsewhere via a third party application it doesnt work
for example i have zlauncher set for my home key (not set for default launcher in zlauncher) and i use butler to map that home key to zlauncher... when i make a DA for splashid and launch it, it takes up whole screen and when i press home screen to leave Splashid DA i go to zlauncher, i wish the DAs were half screens, can we create a DA via accesorize that would just exit DA and an option to make DA smaller, sometimes u need numbers from one screen to use a calcaulator DA |

Two questions:
1. What's the DAkey.prc in the zip file? I can't find any mention of it.
2. I just created CalcDA on my Treo 680 and it works fine. How do you escape from it to the application you were in when CalcDA was called? There's no "Quit" built into it like other DAs. I can use Hi-Launcher's "back" function to return, but then why should I use Accessorize? I could just put the un-accessorized Calc app in my Hi-Launcher popup list.

Forum posts: 97 Uploads: 0 File comments: 6 | Please update Accessorizer to work with iSpin 1.8, I get resets
The developer of iSpin was supposed to add a similar multitasking feature but he has either abandoned the iSpin project or he has fallen ill or other issues. Anyway, I was hopping Accessorizer would work with the iSpin interface and give it the psuedo-multitasking ability that iSpin users have been waiting for.
Thanks |
