You'll find alot of great stuff at http://us.bestgraph.com/.

Here's one of mine... any BTW, is there any difference between Smart Profiles and Extended Profiles? Does having an animated GIF as the background drain the battery faster? I use mine as my screensaver and I put it on a 1 hour sleep timer so that my battery won't drain out.

Darla, the battery will drain quicker with the animated background and it is also quite slow (i was dissapointed with the animation speed on eProfiles, perhaps they will rectify this in future updates of the software)

I bought eProfiles (so i can't comment on sProfiles) and i think it's pretty good. Automatic profile change etc all good! 😃

By the way loads of gif's on this thread

I downloaded the trial of eProfiles and I already have Smart Profiles. The only difference that I can see is that Smart Profiles has the option of choosing a different Launcher skin for each profile. Thanks for the gif link!!

In my experience yes it is. The battery doesn't last long anyway, but when you're running gif's as wallpaper/screen saver all the time it will reduce it yet further!
