Does the latest version of Summerboard uninstall itself completely through Installer?

Hi,

I just risked a look a the latest version of Summerboard available through the Installer.
However, I didn't like it at all, and uninstalled it after a few minutes.
I'm wondering if there are still any processes of Summerboard running in the background now...
I've heard of terrible performance issues related to Summerboard, this is why I would like to go sure that there's nothing left of it.

I'm running FW 1.1.2.

Thanks in advance

Thanks.
I also like the concept of Summerboard, but it just does not work very well.
I prefer a good performance

so that's what's been making my recently upgraded to 1.1.2 craxh so much...
i've had to restore twice...

So is there a way to uninstall it completely? What are the files to remove?

As far as I know, you have to delete those files:

/Library/Frameworks/SummerBoard.framework
/Applications/SMBPrefs.app
/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes

i use photos for backgrounds and my own icons, so i deleted it, but the board still scrolls so there must be some files left

If it scrolls horizontally, it needn't be related to Summerboard. Horizontal scrolling is implemented since FW 1.1.1.

I have read in a few other sites that the reason that causes summerboard to crash is to turn on "Dim background" option. I saw many people's post reporting no crash after turning this option to off. I have recently uninstalled Summerboard again because of crashes and unfortunately I don't have wifi at the moment to give it another try.
Can anyone confirm who has summerboard and crash issues, to turn this off and report the result?
Thanks
