Pocket Breeze and iLauncher

Has anyone tried running both Pocket Breeze and iLauncher at the same time? I like them both but cannot determine if there is a confilict or if they work well together.

Thanks
Michael

Michael, what do you mean by work together there is very little memory loss when i run the two programs on the today screen if that is what you mean. These programs complimiment eachother really well in my opinion.

No problems at all. I use VGA icons, so they take a second to redraw. other than that great. I also have a large contact DB so that the first time I open contacts, that too, takes a second.

Thanks everyone for the response. I kinda thought that, but wanted other opinions.

My other question is this, "how did you get make the icons on iLauncher small again once going to VGA mode?" When I select true VGA mode or true VGA mode is options the icons and tab titles get large.

Thank you.

Tap and hold on an icon and you will have the option to make it small.

Is that in PB or iLauncher? I tried it in iLauncher and that didn't work for me. I tapped and held but was not given an option on the icons, on the tabs I was given the option to go to settings. If I leave true VGA off the icons are small. I'm running an x51v, if that makes a difference?

Sorry. I don't run true VGA. I do recall seeing two sizes of icons. I use 64x64 and always choose large icons, myself.

In that case since the x51v already has VGA then is iLauncher already running in VGA mode, so to speak? The icons look fine, I just didn't know if there was a way to make them look more 3D, if that is possible.

Thanks
Michael

I actually use iLauncher in one of the Pocket Breeze tabs and it's awesome.

A few minutes ago I would have replied "No problemo." But I just noticed that, while running iLauncher and PB simultaneously, my X50v freezes up whenever I use the little "New" menu at the bottom of the screen... forcing me to do a soft reset to bring it back on line.

It occurs to me now I don't even know how to deactivate iLauncher or PB to troubleshoot without going in to the Startup folder or deleting them altogether...
