Add Your Mug To The Today Screen
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 01:00 AM
It's a pretty good idea to display at least a bit of owner information on your Pocket PC's Today screen. That can increase your chances of getting your device back if you ever happen to lose it. :( If you'd like to make that owner information just a bit more "real," you can now add your own photo (or any other graphic, for that matter) to the displayed owner information.
OwnerPhoto, from VR Solutions, allows you to easily add any kind of photo or graphic to your Today screen. This is one of those quick-and-dirty applications that a developer has thrown together, but seems to work just fine.
The good news:
• OwnerPhoto is absolutely free!
• There don't seem to be any real restrictions on image size or dimensions.
The not-so-good news:
• There is absolutely no documentation.
• The developer admits it has not been tested on all Pocket PCs.
• Configuring OwnerPhoto isn't necessarily that obvious (You have to install it, then tap on its icon on the Today screen to configure it.).
But, all in all, this is a fun little application. I've already installed it and added my own little image to my Today screen:
