WkTask

[nmeister]

Saw this over on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=330855&page=2

English version: http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html

Here is the original japanese page: http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask.html -> Screenshots

Its obviously a japanese program, but someone over there has taken the time to translate the essential parts to english. Its really small and fast, and so far I havent had any problems. The settings dialog is mostly in english, except for the tab names themself. The 5th tab is where you can add program exclusions either by app or window title (make sure to add phone and activesync). I figure if more people know about it, there is a better chance the guy doing the translating could find some help. so far it is my favorite task manager because unlike HTC 1.5, it makes the start bar act like the task bar on a windows desktop. From within any program, you can just click on the icon in the smart bar (kind of like magic button). I would like the HTC one just as well if I could figure out a way to access its task switcher without having to be on the today screen.

edit: Download the cab from the link in the third post. Someone suggested we not post the cab here so that the author gets credit for the download.

this app looks cool... but it seems like you would need a good amount of room up top to show more than like 2-3 tasks... now if this app did it by showing the app icon up there then id be all for it... i think wisebar advanced does that... that app annoys me tho, and eats ram like zombies eat brain...

Actually you can change the offset of the titles in the top, you can have the titles all the way from the left covering the start menu button to all the way to the right covering the clock, since I installed it I didnt drop under 22.37 MB, X button was killing my ram, also there is nothing that this task manager doesnt close even icontact that I always had to go to memaid to actually close it for good, Overall I love this program and I believe nothing else like it around so far.

the title bar shortcuts actually get smaller when more apps are open, they don't continue to show the full title. the app launcher it has looks like a really cool feature too. I didn't notice it before in the 70% translated version, but now in the full english version it looks really useful.

I tried installing this 3 times and could not get the translation to work (font showing as boxes)
Can you point me to the full english version?

the author made an english version which is currently 1.0.0.1 and works amazingly well. i was just trying to figure out which version of x-button was best on my mogul and this has solved all my woes.

please don't post the cab here so that the author gets the credit he deserves for writing such an elegant and useful piece of software!

edit: see post #3 for the link
