I've installed this software on my old HP 6515

Wow..it makes it look like a WM6.0 gadget

Regarding the Skybox settings I didn't have the time to get familiar with all of them (too many :)) ) but I've tried to put all my today plugins inside the skybox today plugin - my device has a 240x240 screen, and it is vital to save as much space as possible.

one thing I don't like is that I can't find the standard icons from my applications, for eg. I'm using tom tom, but I can't find it's icon.

nevertheless, overall, a very good impression with this proggie.
