Product Details

Active Desk allows you to fully customise the display - including choosing wallpapers ("skins") and text colours. Active Desk provides information and feature rich, customisable views of the key information stored on your Sony Ericsson P800/900. Each view can include calendar entries, tasks, messages, and favourites but you can configure which items you want to display on each view. For example, if you do not use Tasks or Favourites you can turn these off in the view settings, freeing up additional space for calendar entries and messaging. You can also increase or decrease the number of rows you want displayed. You can choose to display messages on top or on bottom of the screen.

Additionally, Active Desk allows you to create new views, and to fully configure their contents and display settings. If you don't like the default views we have created for you, you can delete them and create your own. If you want a summary view for quick access to applications, this can be your first view. You can then configure other views to contain more details. This combination of customisation and personalisation makes Active Desk the essential add-on for the Sony Ericsson P800/900.

Active Desk and the Sony Ericsson P800/900 take personalisation to a new level. Capture the moment with the built-in camera, and immediately use the images as a wallpaper in Active Desk. A different wallpaper can be set for each view you create in the application, increasing the level of personalisation possible. Additionally, each view can have a different set of six favourites to launch i.e. if you use three views of your data, you can have eighteen different favourites.

There are many preferences and configuration options available e.g. when a calendar event is over no longer display the calendar item, show message accounts only if there are new messages, whether to launch active desk or the task manager with the internet or camera button etc. The Active Desk tools menu gives access to a task manager, storage usage details, and a phone lock.

Active Desk is best used as a "home" application. After the installation of Active Desk, we recommend that you to add it to the list of system shortcuts at the top of the screen. To do this choose 'View-Preferences' from the 'Applications' program of the Sony Ericsson P800/900, and set one of the applications as Active Desk. Then you will be able to run and return to the Active Desk simply by clicking on the Active Desk icon at the top of the screen. For more information on using Active Desk, click here.
