For 6 icons it’s just called “Six Icon Dock”. Rather self explanatory heh.

The theme for the icons is Illumine.

I’ve tried it and it works great. My big wishes are for

1. facebook plugin
2. Ability to launch relevant app when tripple clicking a lockinfo entry. Much smoother transition.

I’ve had no performance or stability problems which I’m quite happy about. Intelliscreen seemed to have some performance hiccups sometimes and also did seem to crash for no apparent reason every once in awhile. That’s one of the main reasons I keep LockInfo on more often than not.

Looking forward to future updates.

I’m thrilled to see some good, competitive comparisons between my LockInfo and Intelliscreen. I do plan to add the interactivity and preview options in the future, but felt that getting a stable, quick and extensible LockInfo out the door was the top priority. Keep the ideas coming!

I use both Intelliscreen and LockInfo as well The only thing keeping me on IS for the most part is the ability to open emails, calendar entries, etc. right from Lockscreen entry. Since I have a passcode to unlock, this function saves me TONS of time by not needing to unlock and then find/launch those apps. If David Ashman can implement that type of “preview” I will likely move away from IS.

I do like the quick view of Intelliscreen, but I don’t find myself missing it much. I still use Elert though so I can hit that when an email comes in to open it in the same quick view window that Intelliscreen uses. I’m not sure why I would need on cue updating of panes. I have push email though so I guess I don’t need that feature.

I just found LockInfo easier to configure, simple and pain free to use, and nicer looking (without much custom modification). Intelliscreen is also missing the nice Todo plugin. A new plugin for Things also just came out which works very well also. The new Twitter plugin for LockInfo is also nice additional functionality over Intelliscreen.

It’s good that there is so much competition now. Lockscreen, Intelliscreen, SmartScreen, QuickWidgets, and Cydgets. Having all of these will only help spur on development to stay ahead of the game.
