Taskbar, like in windows: possible?

Is is possible to have a taskbar, showing which programs are currently running, like in windows xp for example? Having to go to the 'memory' panel and manually closing application from there is getting old...
TIA!

Please try MagicButton. A good task manager in WM5.0

I recommend the use of SmallMenu Plus (they should start a referral program!).

Task manager and neat launcher in one.
Otherwise, apps like Wisbar and the free variants can show running apps in the taskbar at the top. Depending on how many apps you run, that can be useful.

I think he meant WinXP Taskbar showing *running application*.
Anyway, you can do that using .. er.. what's the name.. Wisbar? It is a skining program for your top Start bar, so you can remove all other icons, and put in the option of displaying icons for all running programs.

Well, we have something for that as well and it is free, Magic Button: http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
But as Vijay showed, Small Menu also has an option of showing and closing apps as well. So it is a matter of preference on the user.
Me, I use both. I use Small Menu to launch apps, and use Magic Button to see what I have running in the background on the taskbar.

Magic button is cooooooooooooooooooooool

I agree - Magic Button is the first thing I install...
Cheers,
Steve.

You can also try a True Toolbar http://www.valksoft.com/TrueToolbar.html
It renders the running apps on the lower bar (toolbar) on the today screen. Actually this is and its disatvantage (to some extend) as if you switch to some app, the today screen is gone and the info for runnign aps as well...
Also for task swithcing you can consider the PQz - this is especially useful if you are using keyboard and also has many usefull features like allowing you to use CTRL, ALT, defining system wide shortcuts, speed dial shortcuts, etc ... here is the link: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/DOC/index_e.htm There is info about this tool on other topics in the forum ...

PocNav's close button doesn't fit WM5 close button style.

Yes you can have alt-tab changing! And more...
ABSOLUTELY: there's an AWESOME free app called PQzII - search for it here and you'll find a whole trhead. It does the alt-tab taskbar thing u want, exactly as you'd expect, and SO much more. I paypalled the author despite it being free cos it's so awesome!

wow, I get to be the first to post Task Manager v2.2 by DotFred. It is w/o a doubt, a necesity.

Are you using the pxed file or the unpxed file on your Universal? I extracted both files OFF the folder, how come they have different file sizes? What is the difference between the two?

Hi,
I'm a proud Scoter owner (Mitac Mio A701), so no Universal here. Now as far as UPX, UPX is a compression routine. It is popular at Buzzdev.net. The concept behind it is great, it allows compressed code to be executed directly w/o the need for an external decompression routine, it is incorporated into each file. This has 2 good effects. the first, is that the files are smaller, the second is that since the DOC is slooow, the CPU can load and decompress a UPX'd file faster than loading up an uncompressed file. Buzz and others know quite a bit more than myself on the subject.

Jason

i'm trying that, seems great application, THX :wink:

Is there a web page for it? I may wanted to try it out. PocketBreeze is a bit slow on my already slowed Charmer. However, I tried a lot of other plugins and PBzz is currently the best on for the price of $10.
One of the thing I like about PBzz is the integration of the Tasks and Appointments on the same screen, and birthdays too. Further, I found the others annoying is the fact that they named tomorrow just like any other date, which may undermined the importance of that particular task tomorrow. Hence, everytime I was looking at my Today screen, I have to particularly check todays date to ensure that if the next task/app on the screen is tomorrow or not.

Do a check
can any body from the ones installed this app tells me if it enables me to set the saturday as the first day of the week or no.

Handy little app meschle! Thanks for posting it.
And, gwassef, no.

Thats something your end - firewall or antiviral causing that. It downloads fine for me - try downloading on your wizard through internet explorer.

Ok. I've tested it. My comments as mentioned above,
It doesn't show tomorrow as 'Tomorrow' and, it doesn't even show today as 'Today'. Maybe someone would talk to the author and ask him to make those changes, which is, in my opinion a very good improvement.
But other than that, it is a very good today plugin.

@ meschle
Very nice find! at last I may of found a replacement for pocketbreeze Will have a play for the next few days and see......

Copy the cab file over to the device via activesync - place in \my documents on your phone - click on the cab file through file explorer on the device. Install to device not storage card. Do not unzip the file - cab file is a self installing archive.

right all done - is there anyway of tweaking it though so you can alter how many days it shows?

Excellent!!! finallY!
Nifty little application that works in WM6 too! Definitely a keeper.

Many thanks for that little jewel.
The simplicity of this solution is exactly I was looking for, it assigns ringtone to ringtone fileld in contact. No registry hacks, no monitorning incoming calls, it not resides in memory all the time, simply like that!
Problems I've found so far:
- ringtones must be copied to \Windows\Rings\ folder to be visible (at last on my WM6 TyTn). It think app shoud look for rings in \My Documents\, \My Documents\My Ringtones\ or maybe in custom defined folder?
Enhancements proposal:
- option to remove ring from group (to allow system global ringtone to be used)
- backup/restore. It will be helpful after OS upgrade because Outlook/ActiveSync ignores ringtone field in contact data. Simple text format of the file will be great i.e. to maually change ringtone location/name before restore.

Great app, good work on this.
I'm going to test instead of PhotoContacts (yes, i know about photos, but for me the most important thing is to assign different ringtones to different category).
Thanks.

v3patel
This was a great little app - thank you loads!
I have developed the idea a stage further, inspired by this, and have made a new app called 'Tone Manager' which lets you do it "all in one sweep" if you see what I mean - basically, you assemble a list of categories / ringtones, order them by priority, and then it sweeps through your contacts and assigns ringtones.
Release thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327254
Thanks again!
Carlos

thanks a lot!!
Very usefull utility

Anyway to add assigning a ringtone to contacts and text messages?

I can assign a ring tone to several contacts anyway. What are the benefits to this program?
edit:
Oh to categories. now I get it.

PLus you can import and export

Great Start
V3Patel, Outstanding!! I've been going crazy looking for an app like this one.
Tried it on my herald with WM6 and worked. If you don't mind, I found two bugs that could help you improve:
1. For some reason it didn't creat the shortcut needed for it to appear on the programs folder. Easy solution though.
2. It does support the storage card, but doesn't tell you it does. What I did was hit the search button beside the folder option, tap on any of my storage card .mp3 ringtones and voila... storage card appears as an option.
Thanks

Create a Shortcut
Your problem happened to many of us. Depending of where you chose to install it, say program memory or the storage card, go to the progam files folder within it. There you'll find a folder called VipRingCab... copy the application file inside it and then paste it as a shortcut in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs... And problem solved.

THANKS!

For me anyways. And a couple hints. Anyone, please.?

One more thing this will bring up the config option? thanks!

I have created shortcuts for you - in the attached Zip file. Copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to the Windows folder, vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to Windows/StartUp folder (if you want the program to be run at every boot) and copy vjtoggletodayConfig.lnk wherever you see fit.
Edit: I will put it to the folder you chose. You can try if config works on this version. And yes the config works (tested)

Links updated to your location. Hope it will work for you. If you changed the name of the exe (then the lnk will not work), or will change the location of the exe in the future you can edit the link in desktop windows in notepad.

Thanks guys.
VJToggleToday II was not finished as it straddled PPC2003 and WM5.
I've subsequently finished version III as a research app for my use, and version IV will be released, eventually, for you guys.
It's context sensitive, enlarges only the today screen, but the bars are back as they should be in normal use. Works quite nicely. I'm away for a bit, but will be back coding hard soon.

That is a great news vijay. Thanks for your efforts! Anyway there is only one thing that I did not like about the version we are using - it shrinks both top and bottom bar - I do not mind getting rid of bottom bar, but top one conveys much more information, but this is user definable so no big deal.

Current version, VJToggleToday II, has registry settings or a hidden config dialog that can be used to specify what height you want each bar. That way, you can leave the top bar at its default height of 26 pixels, and only shrink the bottom bar. I believe you just launch it from a shortcut, with a command line of -config or config.
Check the main thread for clarification.
Hiding the top bar was only really for my own use, inorder to use it with a special skin I wrote to replace the top bar:
