Patrick -

I have been playing with bbdock to launch apps. It is pretty cool. Instead of a text-based launcher, have you thought about just creating .png files with only text? You could make them as large or small as you want them. Just a thought.

The only dockapps I've been using for the last several months are
wmbiff (you already have it)
wmsm (cpu/mem/swp usage and uptime)
wmsensormon (temperature - I don't know if it works in DSL)

A cpu monitor I thought was "cool" is wmfire, though i found it distracting after a while.

I just added another to play with..
It's WmWeather +
Shows a lot more than the wmweather dockapp.

Look here for the eye-candy..
http://dockapps.org/file.php/id/112

And here are a few screenies of WmWeather + in DSL



The third one, the map, is actually a crop of a live map from ww.weather.com
US current forecast was what I picked this time..

And the fourth one is a forecast for Oct 27th... 55 F! Ahhhh.. cool !

It's in the testing area of the repository..
...enjoy

<EDIT> Here is a copy of my conf file, edit as necessary

station KCLL
location 30.1500N 096.4000W

It also says cloudy, so you may miss the lunar eclipse....if you're into that sort of thing....

A thought about the weather map one...
What if, and this is a big if for such a small screen, one would place the url of
my weather maps page, that would then provide any map in the place of the one given. One big problem, the page would display without the ability to scroll down, so a lot of the maps would not be available.

I may get this app and do some testing. Perhaps I could make a special page for it, that gives a few maps, but that might be only two or three. I see that one needs to know your "station ID", mine is KJAN. Also, the location, that is obtainable on wunderground.com for your chosen "station ID". I also note that the current weather map is the smallest one, but as I click on the web address for it, I find that it is bigger than the app screen. Wonder what would happen if the larger map were used?

Anyway, we are all having a lot of fun with these dock apps, and I only wish I could figure out how to "double row" them. If I open too many, then the go up and out the top of the screen.
