Leslie Franke does Facer

Some of you who have used a PocketPC/Windows Mobile device know the beauty of using the Today screen. Its so much so a part of the PocketPC/Windows Mobile world that many folks cannot live without it. And while the PalmOS side of things was a bit late in getting to using a Today screen for quick lookup purposes, the apps out there that do so do well.

One such application is called Facer, by PocketCraft. Facer provides a easy to read today screen, as well as an enchanced application launcher. For me, I have used it for a long time and its simplicity and effectiveness have been just great. And the plugins have made it realyl easy to stay on top of things. Check out this review at Leslie Franke about Facer 3 and then download it for yourself.

Even better about Facer are themes. One such developer, Leslie Franke, has made available the first (that I have seen) new theme for Facer 3. I have downloaded it, as well as the background image (in a seperate download) and really like how cool it is (cool as in termperature). Though not a blue fan, it uses the color really well.

Leslie Franke talks about more than just Palm stuff. The site is designed very well and it touches on many aspects of computing, mobile computing and design. Its worth checking out and bookmarking/RSS-ing (and even a mention of MMM)
