[Open Beta] Leave It On 2.1, loads of new features!
So it has barely been a week since the release of v2.0, but I'm hard at work on 2.1 now. There were features that I didn't have time to implement or finish for 2.0 that I have now put into 2.1
If you are not familiar with Leave It On you can read about it here: Leave It On - Personal Productivity BlackBerry Apps - Crackberry BlackBerry Apps Store

- Added 2nd "dont show when app"
- Fixed issue with contact pics now showing if last name was first.
June 21th - Getting close to final!
Build .50
-----------------
- Ive had some code in since 2.00 that I used for testing icons for pop-ups. I disable it when I build for the public, but it helped me in testing. So Ive left it enable in this build to see if people are interested. If people seem to like it I will leave it in. You can customize the animated icon for specific contacts for email or SMS. On your SDCard in the "BlackBerry" folder create a folder called "lio" in there you can put animated GIF files, size 60x60. Name the GIF file the full name of the contact you want it to show up as. So if the persons full name in your address book is "Baba Booey" name the file "Baba Booey.gif" To enable this feature make sure you have "Show contact pic" set to "yes".
The BB OS doesnt handle all types of animated GIFs very well, so if you are trying to create your own and run into any problems just post the GIF up in this thread and I'll have a look. I have create some samples which are at the bottom of the post.

Build .10
-----------------
-Backup/Restore settings from SDCard
-Improved UI
-Fix for Gmail launching multiple times
-New icons for SS, UT, T4BB
-Message previews for SMS and E-Mail
-Customizable font size for preview
-“Only if backlight on” option for pop-ups. Will only display the pop-up if the backlight is aready on
-“Show when locked/standby” option for pop-ups.
-“Backlight for” options for pop-ups. This lets you configure the time the backlight will stay on when a pop-up is displayed.
-Pop-ups can now be set stay until the user closes it. Set it to “0”
-Pop-ups can now be displayed at the bottom of the screen
-Option to configure what BB Key and click do when pop-up displayed. Options: Preview (for SMS/E-Mail), Launch (to launch the app of the notification), Nothing, or Close
Message previews give you a quick look at either an incoming e-mail or SMS message. The normal size pop-up will display, but if you press the BB Key or Click it will expand (how it does it is a surprise ;) youll just have to try it out!) to show you the message (which you can scroll down to read the whole thing). I didn't add this feature before because I don't want to turn Leave It On into a full fledged “Pop-up” app but Ive now added due to the amount of requests. So the only functionality is just to preview the message text. If you are looking for a full preview app I'd recommend BerryPopup (which works great in conjunction with Leave It On).
Download
-----------------
If you are currently running 2.00 please make sure to go into Leave It On and in the menu ShutDown Leave It On before updating to this version. This will also wipe out any previous settings, I rewrote much of the settings code to work with backup/restore to SDCard which would have caused a conflict.
