you should have GPE summary installed, which is a component of the GPE suite, and then select it to have the applet on home screen.

I think you also need to install GPE summary, which is the desktop applet.

Back to the topic, I want to add my vote in this discussion for the return of Thememaker, if you please!

Although it didn't give us the opportunity to remove the left-side icons, it did allow us to change them (within limits). Of course I'd prefer to have the ability to customize my desktop but for the time being, I'd 'settle' for the ability to craft a custom 'look' for my IT. FYI, I tried the 07 version on my N810 and fouled up my icons (fixed with the firmware update flash, whew), so I'm waiting for word of a new release

BTW, I too found the contacts icon to be useless until Zerojay brought us the jablet server (kudso to ZJ), so now the contacts tab is actually (partially) functional. As for the web, well, I've found it to be useful as handy 'top-level' bookmark list.

Just to make it clear, the answer to the original comment of this thread:

GPE Calendar doesn't add a permanent icon to the Application Launcher sidebar. It just remains open (but minimized) when the [X] (Close) button is tapped. (This, imho, is a long-running and never-fixed bug.) To Close GPE Calendar, tap the Application menu and choose Close.

Now, if we could customize the Application Launcher, I'd like to see it work like the sidebar in Quiver Image Viewer: with a kinetic scrolling, looping menu-set (i.e., add as many apps as you'd like and scroll through them by finger-tapping/dragging vertically, up or down). That would be sweet!

-T.

It would be great to have a single button or screen edge that pops up a Iphone-like scrolling menu. It would be better compared to the current three button panel plus menus because it is

- more efficient in terms of screen estate usage
- more finger friendly
- more flexible because it isn't limited to three top level items

It's not a bug, it's a feature Really, see the bugzilla.

This is definitely NOT a bug! As PinCushionQueen already pointed out earlier in the thread, if you close GPE Calendar completely, no alarms from it will sound. You need to leave it running minimised...
