Right, I know I just released 1.57 yesterday but I got the programming bug and had to get some work done. I finally got started on the features I planned to add in the very beginning. I added the start of an extended preference page. This will be expanded and the user interface overhauled in the future, but here are the new features:
Dock Icons - this is the “Icons” button from before.
Fix User Dir Permissions - ok, ever had a 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 jailbreak where your mail app crashed? Or your notes.db wouldn’t save? Or your safari cookies wouldn’t save? Or you installed some SummerBoard themes from installer (Skylar fix your themes) and the icons won’t work? Just run this and it should fix these issues. You can run it each time you encounter it over and over again.
Enable/Disable Springboard Screenshot - There is an app to do this on some obscure repository. Now it’s in BossPrefs. As of 1.1.3, springboard has built in the ability to take screen captures. Just hold home and toggle the silence switch. The screen flashes white, and a new picture is added to your camera roll. It does not take up any resources and never needs to be disabled.
BossPrefs to Double Tap Home - Lets you set BossPrefs to double tap home key. Why would you want to do this you ask? First, it’s a good way to bring up the toggles quickly. But more importantly, if you ever have a problem where you get no icons on your springboard due to some app, you can double tap home, load BossPrefs, and use its icons on the dock to solve your issue without a restore. Great way to bail yourself out of a problem.
Show Disk Space - Finally, there is no way to view disk space without typing in terminal. This shows your free disk space. I may incorporate some BossTool style logic here later.
Also, from now on, the “about” button will show the change log.

Hey Man,
Thanks for this very useful software! In the Netherlands EDGE/GPRS automatically connects and it will cost you a lot of money ( you don’t have to supply a username and password for it to work ). Thanks to Bossprefs I can easily disable it. I also like the ability to disable SSH and WiFi ( saves me a lot of battery power ) and the mailboxes.
The new Fix User Dir Permissions fix is great, I have some troubles with the fact I can’t delete notes, so that’s possible again now :-). Also the Show Free Disk Space option is great, it’s not possible to see that in a easy way.
Keep up the good work and thanks!!
Henk.
P.s I just noticed the changelog feature, I like that one too :), I have some problems scrolling through the page though, don’t know why.
