Accessorizer is a unique utility that takes almost any application or control panel and creates a Desk Accessory (DA) that launches it on top of the current application (and lets you come back to it when done), assuming you have enough memory.
A DA is a special applet that can be run on top of another application, by use of a DA launcher. The nice thing about a DA is that it doesn't force you to exit your previous application. Thus, a notepad DA would let you make notes while inside a web browser, and then come right back to the web browser.
There are a lot of DAs that do lots of things, but DA afficionados always want more, and Accessorizer can do such things as produce a DA to calibrate your digitizer (just generate a DA for the Digitizer control panel), view your contacts (just generate a DA for your Contacts application), and so on.
For the DAs created by Accessorizer to function, the Accessorizer application needs to be installed. If you get crashes on exit from the accessorized application, turn on compatibility mode in Accessorizer.
Limitations:
Do not use with CJKOS. Do not launch DAs on a device locked with a key-guard.
Instructions:
Install Accessorizer.prc.
Run Accessorizer. There may be a lengthy pause when you first run it, and a somewhat shorter one when you generate a DA.
Select an application.
Press "Generate".
Install your new DA in your DA launcher.
If an application does not show up in the list, that's because either Accessorizer can't create a DA for it, or it has already created a DA for it.
Note that you need to have sufficient memory to launch one application on top of another. Not all applications will be compatible.
Suggestions:
You might want to download MetaDA. MetaDA is a DA that pops up a list of all your other DAs. This way, all you need to do is to assign MetaDA to an action or put it in a favorites list, and you can then access all your other DAs.
Some applications that it might be nice to Accessorize include:
- Calendar
- Tasks
- Contacts
- Calculator
- Digitizer
