More UI Customisation

I seem to be just going on about the N800 at the moment but I have been having lots of fun with a whole host of additions since the last OS update. It seems like there is a flurry of activity for a month or so after each update or maybe thats just my perception. I find loads of new things to install after I have re-flashed the OS and the applications backup fails half way through restoring my previous config.

The latest bells and whistles come in the form of Large Statusbar Clock which provides two statusbar applets, one for minutes and one for hours. I tested an earlier version a while ago but it kept forgetting that I like 24 hour clock. The latest version is however much better and allows you to set alarms too. The other one I have added, mainly to make room for the clock, is Advanced Backlight which provides additional backlight settings and master volume control in one applet.

The final extra is Load Applet which gives a nice indicator of CPU and Memory utilization and access to a process list where you can kill off errant processes. It also takes screenshot (either instant or delayed) which is very handy. (hence the obligatory screen shot). (interestingly it doesn’t show in the screenshot below?????).

You will also notice the massively improved personal menu from my earlier post which has come on leaps and bounds in such a very short space of time. The on going discussion on the ITT Forums has really spurred this application on to the point where it would be a travesty not to include it in the next OS version.
