GDesk Features

All other information can be found in GDesk Versions.

Version 0.26 (26th February 2008)
  • Just a bug fix - new version number in order to stop people using v0.25!

Version 0.25 (17th February 2008)
  • Option added to stop tapping on empty space bringing up the main menu. Note that in design mode empty space continues to have this function; also pressing the jog dial now brings up the main menu.
  • Add Other now allows a "main menu" button to bring up the main menu
  • Alphabetically sorted menus now respond to key presses, taking the highlight to the next item starting with that letter
  • Confirm added to "refresh icons" to avoid accidental refresh
  • Add a second grid size to design mode
  • Add Other now allows a "blank" button which has no function; useful for adding graphics to designs
  • Icons can now be flagged as "non-selectable" to stop them responding to pen selection
  • Fixed a bug which stopped "Use system image" from showing a check when enabled

Version 0.22 (1st November 2007)
  • Improved shortcut name/number display - you can now select name order, and show (C)ell/(L)andline and (H)ome/(W)ork
  • Shortcut keys now work on page-as-menu menus
  • Web page shortcuts - the interface is a little clunky at the moment

  • InfoView battery level display
    InfoView signal bars display
    InfoView (C)harging/(N)etwork available/(P)hone call in progress indicator

Version 0.20a (20th October 2007)

Thought this was a bug but realised it's actually a feature! I'm not fond of it. Could it be possible to make the 5 second delay configurable, i.e. x number of seconds where x can be 0? Or at least make the delay an "inactivity delay" rather than a straight seconds count. At the moment I can be scrolling around the main screen or looking for my "More | Status" and suddenly I'm thrown back to Gdesk.
