1. Had the top bar go away at first. Whe it did, I couldn't exit programs or get to the start menu. A soft reset cleared it up, and I haven't had it happen again....yet.

2. HTC Home Customizer doesn't work. When I try to run it, I get the following error message: "An unexpected error has occurred in homecust.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF.Drawing, Version=2.2.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=E60 DBEA84BB431B7, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

So, now I'm in a quandry. Since I had my Apache, I've always been fond of several of the HTC utilities and associated goodies (ie: HTC Home and HTC Task Manager) I know that, as GGURU says....HTC Task Manager is an evil little app. I also know that HTC Home has a memory leak, and has cause issues too. BUT, they are VERY useful apps, they used to work VERY well on HTC devices, and best of all they are FREE.

I'm finally at the point where I may be ready to leave the old apps behind, especially since they dont seen to like to play well with the new builds. My question is....what is a good, lightweight, and free task manager to replace HTC Task Manager? Also, what is a good replacement for HTC Home? I really like, and use all of the features of HTC Home, so I need something that has as many of those as possible. I've also considered trying Touchflo, as it seems pretty cool, but people have had mixed results with it.

What is the closest thing to the Diamond out there? I've seen several diamond themes, but these are still in development it seems, and somewhat buggy.

Well, sorry to get off on a tangent on something not really related to this build, but I'm probably not alone in that the newer builds are prompting (or even forcing) the use of different apps to keep a familiar feel, but still have the possibility of new features and a cooler interface.
My favorite is WKTask because it has the open programs in tabs like XP and Vista on the task bar.
