Looking for a desktop dashboard

[gbenj]

Looking for an app that I can leave open on my N7 when its on my desk that does a good job of showing me lots of info and refreshing at regular intervals.

Anyone have any experience with Chamelon Launcher? I see mixed review but looking to see if anyone has anything else to recommend.


Thanks!

I don't know if it will be what you want, but what I do is go to Settings | Display and set Daydream to Currents. When you set it there are some tabs up top and one of them says "When to daydream". I pick "either" but you can pick when docked or when charging.

If you have Currents set up to do news you care about, it works well.

Thanks but looking for more than just news.

I want weather, social stuff, news, maybe even something else customizable...starting t think I might just be better off with a good assortment of widgets...

Well Currents can read any RSS feed. So I would think you could set it up to weather, social media, etc. as long as you could pull an RSS for it. Now, granted, things that are formatted for Currents look better....

Dashclock widget. It comes with plugins which support a lot of apps you probably already have, supports daydream mode and looks good.
