Snoopsoft's Dashboard Continues to Evolve
I remember using Dashboard back in early 2000, right after the Pocket PC came out. It was such a fantastic concept, and back then I was into skinning, so I made a few skins for it. I heard people requesting a "plain" skin, so I created a very simple beige skin that became part of the default installer for a while. I imagine it's been replaced by now. ;-)
"SnoopSoft Dashboard is a Today page plug-in that provides a completely skinnable Today page for your Pocket PC! With built-in support for your Agenda (Appointments + Tasks), Inbox, Tasks, Launcher and a personalized screen, you'll never need to leave your Today page to see what's going on or to perform basic maintenance of Tasks. Add to this the ability to customize the interface with the popular 'skin' technology used in many MP3 players and this quickly becomes a "must have" application for the Pocket PC! Now available in English, French, German and Italian!"
You can purchase it for $13.00 USD. [Affiliate]

Dashboard is just the best, IMHO. You can use Today skins or Dashboard skins. It has a clean and simple interface and is plain easy to use.

Once I would have jumped at this. Sadly it has just been too long coming. I found Dashboard had limits that other today plug-ins overcame and I've become used to working with alternatives (PIToday, for example) that were not as resource hungry as Dashboard 1.x. Version 2 has just been too long in coming...

I love this program and have been using it for several years now.
The Beta is now public and allows you to use your other today plug ins like Battery Bar and Journal Bar.
Juni makes the best skins!
I use Wisbar Advanced as well, which compliments Dashboard.
I don't want to start a PPX thread inside of this one, but I did try PPX and for me. it requires too much work to set it up, whereas Dashboard is "ready to go".

I used Dashboard awhile back when I had my Jornada 525... What's the point of it now with Windows Mobile 2003 and its native Today screen functionality?
I have PIToday and Omega One Battery Bar and have it pretty much covered...

I like it for its program launcher capabilities. I do not use Battery Bar's Program Bar.
There are also E-mail and Contacts plugins, as well as Tasks and Appointments. I don't use those as much as I do not have the need to do so.
It fits well with my needs.

I have one question.
Has anyone tried this on a 4155? I tried it on my 1910 and it just was too slow to use.
I do imagine it'll be faster on this new device, but has anyone tried yet?

I love this app! All of the plugins I use play well with it. It's nice to have multiple Today pages too. I have not seen any slow down or resource problems w/ Dashboard either.
