PDA Users - How much do you customize your handheld?

[GasX]

Do you use it "stock" and just add data or do you add programs and customize the themes, etc?

Of course.

A horse.

the only thing i have on my Clie is DateBk5.

not really visually customizing, but it makes my Clie's datebook more powerful.

This is a computer enthusiast forum... so its a good bet that most people do a bit more with their pdas than just add lunch meetings.

I've got a few games, a bunch of ebooks, avantgo (for newspapers and The Onion) and a couple of utilities on mine.

Going to trade up for a colour pocketpc (or whatever they are called now) soon, so I can get some decent UK mapping software on it too.

all PPC's are color now, so that shouldn't be an issue when you upgrade

First, get WISBar, it's free and quite possibly the most useful PDA program ever. It allows you to tap + hold to close programs, rather then just minimize them. It can also put a battery meter on your taskbar, which is nice.

I have a custom James Bond theme I installed using the MS Theme Maker program for PPC. Other than that, it's stock.

Having a palmOS pda, you don't get a whole lot of stuff beyond the basic PIM apps on it. So yea, I've used all but 3 of my 16MBs of memory on other software and stuff.

Mine has a blue light behind the display, a plexiglass window on the back, and it's painted bright orange.

There are also pieces of software that you can add, to turn your PDA into almost a windows themed machine with actual background wallpaper, and colored icons.... looks pretty sweet actually

Customize? It has its very own shelf in my office, where it lives full-time.

It's been a while since I used it.
