MAKE A FULL BACKUP (ideally on a card) BEFORE USING.
THIS IS BETA TEST SOFTWARE.
Accessorizer is a unique utility that takes almostany application or control panel and creates aDesk Accessory (DA) that launches it on top of thecurrent application (and lets you come back to itwhen done), assuming you have enough memory.
Accessorizer works on PalmOS 5.x.
A DA is a special applet that can be run on top ofanother application, by use of a DA launcher. The nicething about a DA is that it doesn't force you to exityour previous application. Thus, a notepad DA would letyou make notes while inside a web browser, and then comeright back to the web browser. There are a lot of DAsthat do lots of things, but DA afficionados always wantmore, and Accessorizer can do such things as produce aDA to calibrate your digitizer (just generate a DA forthe Digitizer control panel), view your contacts (justgenerate 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. 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
