Try to upgrade to 2.60 it should have some bugfixes.
Go to www.epocware.com and download the upgrade, despite the non mentioning of it, it gives you version 2.60

Well, Epocware is a great company. Handy Expense is a good program, and Handy Safe, well, thank god for Handy Safe. But Handy Day just doesn't cut it. Too many things going on in the background that screws with the system.

And the interface! God, have you guys seen an UGLIER interface? Today on both Palm and PPC look beautiful, but this one is just plain ugly. Icons in rows that just don't align, lines and frames in the most pragmatic manner possible.

Pardon me, but Handy Day is just a program trying to fill the void of a Today application without really trying hard enough.

So does anyone know what to do to lessen the battery drainage that Handy Day does?

I like the program very much but I was really surprised on how much it drained my battery. It was unbelievable!!

cmon guys chill out give handyday some time to evolve into a great program. It gives you a lot I mean I don't know what I would do without this program. it saves a ton of time when opening apps. i am more comfortable now with handyday then opening apps the normal way.

No it does not look stellar, but I am sure it will eventually. Background images and such woudl be a nice touch. Better icon layout would be cool, but i am sure Epocware has thought of all this and are already working on it as we speak. Palm programs didn't look too nice when they first came out too ya know.

cont:

that last post wasn't meant to be a slam.. more just fyi for peeps out there who were wondering. and i agree with you, it's a great app and i look forward to their future update.

being in the software business myself, i know it's impossible to please everyone at the same time. and yes, good products take time (or a good testing staff:))
