There is a 1 second delay also for m600, but i dont consider this as a major bug. The menu remains on top for a bit...

A bit dissapointed that i can't use the today menu now, but ok, the benefits of using this program outweight this!!!

Cellphonesoft copied it from SE or wrote it for SE for P1i launch?



Hahaha Now, you are a funny guy! How the hell would someone write this program for SE??!!!! SE implemented this in P1 and Cellphonesoft got the ideea of doing the same program of their own! Nothing wrong with that...

Thanks for the comments above that are all processed for fixes and new features in the next release.

Is there a way when i dont want it to be transparent to be black at the back?
Background color selection is one of the planned additions in the next release.

from the standby screen there is a 1 second delay more or less, when the icons in the standby screen are still visible superimposed over the new app
Which phone(s) and which application(s) produce this regularly? (Normally the icon panel should disappear immediately when you press on a shortcut icon.)

why do you have it as freeware? If we buy it, is there any difference?
The difference is that if you buy it then it does not expire in two weeks. So, it is not freeware, just it has a fully functional trial.

Mine is a P990i and it is most evident when I choose the 4 main icons at the bottom(Main menu, call log, phone,etc) and the task manager in FO.

@Lisa,

Your comment got me thinking and I made a small test.....
Choosing the Icons which I have in Linkboy do not produce this effect.....
I made a test and added the Call Log to the Icons on link boy , even though it was available on the original standbay screen.....only when I pressed it from the original standby screen did I get this effect.
Hope this clears up things a bit....

Let's distinguish two cases:

(1) On the standby screen you touch one of LinkBoy's icons. In this case LinkBoy instantly knows what you are doing, and the icon panel should disappear immediately.

(2) On the standby screen you touch something else than LinkBoy's icons. In this case LinkBoy reacts upon a system notification about a new window coming up. Depending on how fast the system sends that notification, LinkBoy can not help but disappear with some delay.

@701 - first of all I was asking not stating and second of all why are you so surprised? I believe CPS proved many times they are smarter than SE, didnt they?

@PH: I was surprised you could imagine a small company to produce programs for a giant like SE.

Actually I would love to imagine that. SE would benefit loads from this, am sure about that. SE is a company that couldnt get the standby screen right when they were shipping first P990's.

linkboy finally crashed on me after about a weeks worth of use. i dont know if because i had a lot of programs running but when i tried to click on a program my phone just stalled.

i only had longcuts and swiss man pro running in the background with linkboy. i think i was listening to music at the time and i was on the standby screen and i got a text. i clicked on it and it just stood there. after about 3-4 seconds my text screen showed up but the linkboy was still there and i couldnt click on anything. so then i used my longcuts short key to switch programs and some stuff was happening but really didnt do much. i actually had to take out the battery to turn it off.

its been ok since but it seems to get laggy when i have a couple programs running like the usual above that i mentioned. the 1 second delay is worse if there are more programs running and it doesnt matter if i picked a program from linkboy or my normal standby. it gets a delay sometimes and sometimes not.

when i use 3rows and 5 icons, it always says not enough memory on my m600 to edit linkboy. Until now i was always using 2 rows x 5 icons...

I didnt have an open program in the background and i have about 30 mb fress in both internal and external memory...

Weird....

That is certainly true, as the delay depends on how busy the system is, as explained in a previous message.

when i use 3rows and 5 icons, it always says not enough memory
What exactly do you do and see before having that message? What happens afterwards? Do you finally have the 3 rows displayed, or not?

When i try to input a new link to an icon it says: Failed no enough memory....

Even if i try to put a new icon for the sortcut , the message comes up.
However the Icons that are already there, can be used at the standby screen...
