i swap between PPX and Dashboard 2.0 - both are great as far as making my Ax look awesome! dashboard is the easier of the two to use. it interfaces well with plug-ins like worldmate and battery pack v 5.3.2, i have used stocks and wether with it also. has lots of great skins you can download.

PPX is fully customizable down to exact placement of icons. it also interfaces well with today plug-ins. the major disadvantage to me is that you must customize each skin you use in PPX. by that i mean plug-in placement, program icon placement, etc. PPX has lots of really cool skins to download. they are currently in beta testing on a new version and are up to 2.33.50, i think (gotta check on that).

to get the full effect of dashboard you have to use wisbar advance or icbar for your top and bottom bar skinning - this eats into memory a bit more than PPX.

that's my mini-review. hope it helps. :D
