Re: Task Manager Solution for WM 6.5.1 ROM's

Unfortunately no.

We have all of this unoccupied space now in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, which MS could have decided to dedicate to a large task manager button, but nooooooo...

One of the things WinMo is known for is it's multi-tasking, but none of the newer builds have any elegant multi-tasking solution built into them.

So now we are left with nothing but alternative solutions that are nowhere near as convenient as the default HTC task manager.

I mean for example, I don't want to dedicate the only programmable button on my phone to a task manager, I'd much rather have the Send Key (Hold) programmed for MS Voice Command, as that's what I always had it mapped to.

Now however, I had to make the hard choice between choosing MS Voice Command and an easily accessible, stable, and finger-friendly task manager (taskmgr) to be mapped to that key, and unfortunately MSVC lost.

How hard can it be to map the upper left hand of the screen to a taskmgr button
and NOT QuickMenu, which is:
a) not finger-friendly
b) a crap shoot to pull up half the time

For that matter, all of our notification icons drop down when you press the top taskbar, why can't we have a 2nd row drop down for active apps?
