Easy to customise
Some launchers have powerful customisation options - but you need a PHD to understand the options.
Initiate makes all customisation options available from a simple easy-to-navigate screen that looks much like your palm's system preferences.
Each preference screen is designed to be simple to use and easy to understand so that you can easily customise Initiate to your taste.
The screenshot below shows some sample customisations:
- hidden the categories and view name
- selected a jpeg background
- decided to show application icons in half size mode (available on high-resolution devices)
- selected the built in 'last application launched' plugin
- selected the 4Cast weather plugin (part of the seperate 4Cast application)
Power User mode fully integrates your device
Just tap on the power user button and you shift to the view that really shows the power of Initiate

Opening any item other than applications requires that you have a program installed on your device which can actually open the item, and that it registers with the device so that you can select it in the 'programs to use' preference.
Initiate supports Plugins in the Datebk6 format and the 2day format. There are various free plugins available, and some plugins are provided with other shareware apps. (Initiate Pro Details)
