There are sample wallpapers on NikkiSoft - makers of QuickLaunch BlackBerry Shortcuts and App Launcher Hopefully some of you will post some more QL Wallpapers so that I can add them to the site.
GPS Toggle
Quickly toggle your GPS on/off.
How to Configure the GPS Toggle feature:
This feature works with macros simulating user key input.
When you add this function via Add Application you will see an entry field labeled "Parameter:" These parameters must be entered for the GPS Toggle feature to work on your device.
Enter the parameters in the following format: p1,p2,p3 (the p's are numbers)
The first number (p1) refers to the position that the 'Advanced Options' selection is located on your Blackberry Options screen. For most devices this would be a '2'. The second number (p2) refers to the location of 'GPS' under Advanced Options. The third number (p3) will be the location of the 'GPS Services button on the GPS screen. (the one with 'Location On' and 'Location Off')
If entered correctly the paramters should look like 2,6,2 or something similar to that depending on your device.
Configurable Homescreen Hotkey
You can now launch QuickLaunch by hitting a letter on the keypad from your homescreen.
To use this feature you must disable Home 'Screen Dialing' in your phone options.
Go to Phone->Options->General Options->Dial From Home Screen and set it to 'No'.
Currently available hotkeys are:
Space bar, Q, E, G, I, J, R, X, Y, Z or none
Configurable Screen Capture Image Format
You can now choose between JPG and PNG.
And now for the bad news:
Check for Update Function Discontinued
This feature has been removed for numerous reasons. It might be added back sometime in the future but for now it's history.
This means App World customers will have to wait until App World approves this release. My apologies.
Note: If you are still using a zip code for the weather you must re-configure the settings to use a 'Location ID' instead of zip code. Yahoo weather is currently changing the location id's and your city's id may have been changed recently. According to yahoo zip codes are being phased out and eventually only Location ID's will be accepted. So go in to QL Options and read the new instructions for obtaining your Location ID.

Thanks for the update to QL Cheetah - been wishing for these features for a while, much appreciated!02-16-10 09:57 PMLike 0 - Possible Bug:
has anyone been able to get GPS toggle to work ?
my parameters are 2,6,2 ,, it highlights gps services then starts exiting back to previous windows.. i never see the drop down which actually toggles the GPS on off
its going through the motions but not actually toggling anything
Missing update ..
* I thought u were going to look into an option to send screen capture via mms or to a BBM contact .. the only option is still email...
* Reset device .. why cant a macro be added in this as well so we dont have to click "REBOOT NOW".. just launch QL .. press R and done...
Question:
Could there be anyway to control the color of the selector bar that goes up and down in QL in QL options? Or this is 100% controlled by theme only?
Would also be cool if the text color of the selected item also inverted to a different color .. as it does when u select an item and then menu/move item
All permissions have been set to allow and phone has been rebooted, FYI .. still cant get GPS toggle to work
Besides all the above i still have a smile on my face with this update !!!

02-16-10 10:41 PMLike 0 - 1) that means 2,6,2 is not correct for your device. make sure you counted right. if you did it works 100% of the time
2) regarding mms - bbm : No, i never said i would look into this. it's not possible.
3) in a future version
4) theme controlled
5) thanks
