Anything 23017 and down is the old style, so 21857 is the closest

I don't see anything about 23052 on the first few posts of this thread.
BTW, been using your 23049 ROM all day. Spectacular. I didn't think I'd use Manila again, but this is really great. A shame it takes up so much space, but there are always compromises I guess.

Ya I'm loving the 23409. It's pretty, fast. The UI has some nice features.

Some issues I've run across
- How do you "close" or "minimize" apps like Opera? I have to go to the menu and EXIT within Opera, then say minimize.
- How do you switch between apps? There doesn't seem to be a task manager any more.

These are the ones I noticed in the first few minutes (which is all I've been using) I'll take it through it's paces and see if anything else comes up. I'm really diggin it. Actually starting to take on that aesthetically pleasing look, which for WinMo, is pretty hard to do.

The task manager included in the kitchen if installed is still behind the clock, just invisible, so if you click there, the menu should come up and if set to close apps on ok, will close them when clicked on the clock

I personally still use quickmenu, so on the apps I want to close, I just click the clock and it closes them and if I click where the old start menu icon was, quickmenu still shows, so I can switch between apps, etc

Ok. I don't use the Kitchen, I just downloaded and burned your ROM.

It's weird MS still has scroll bars in certain option areas. Can't use finger scrolling, have to use the scroll bars.

It's a constant WIP until Wm7 I guess.

Anyway good work, nice ROM.

Thanks for the input Calc, the Task manager is still there, I thought I tried clicking on the clock, but maybe I wasn't on the home page.
