Today, I Get Moving -- a Review of Animated Today v3.0

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:10 AM


Changing That ‘Static’ Look at Life
Animated Today falls into that category of favoured applications for me, in that it does just one thing, and it does it very well. Its whole job is to support the display of Today screens with animated graphics, and Gigabyte Solutions not only provides the program, but also a great selection of themes along with the package. I've included a small sample of the themes available, but I won't give away the surprise (or fun!) by telling you what they do. Suffice it to say that all the themes look professional, run smoothly, and do not seem to hog huge amounts of system resources. The only effect Animated Today had on my iPAQ 2215 is that it sometimes took the Today screen a couple of seconds longer to reload when switching apps.


Figure 1: Animated Today’s ‘Wet Dog’ theme.

Animated Today is actually provided as part of Gigabyte Solutions’ FlashDash which was reviewed just recently. Since the FlashDash article focused on FlashDash itself, and Animated Today is available as a separate product, we decided it needed a review of its own.


Figure 2: TiD’s animated Sovereign theme. As in Flashdash, this comes with a pocket watch and ships’ bells.
