To Support launching MetaDA directly in Treo Launcher hopefully extends functionalities (e.g. viewing available memory, battery information, preview schedules in Calendar) without adding much code.

I am DA beginner. Hope that other long time DA users can share some experience and recommend some good DAs.
Horace:

Thank you for continuing to improve TL's functionality without sacrificing speed or size. My favorite improvement in 1.5 beta 2 is the ability to use the Home key to turn on my 680 without causing the category to change. I'm also looking forward to trying the upcoming Plug-ins feature. I hope you will be able to incorporate plug-ins for 4Cast and Resco Backup.

The new MetaDA feature also seems to work well, but I will continue to use McPhling as my DA launcher mainly for the ability to popup the DA launcher from any screen (do not wish to return to the TL screen prior to launching a DA). The ability to launch a DA from any screen is especially important with a DA like ScreenDumpDA by Alex Pruss since this DA creates a screen capture of the current display.

Question - How does one view the new Chinese Lunar Calendar feature?

Does anyone else agree with these suggestions?
I would also like the ability to change app names as they appear in the launcher, but only if there is no significant impact to the size or speed of TL. In the meantime, you can use a separate utility to change the names. ChangeMe is a good freeware option. I am currently using a feature in Resco Explorer to change app names.
