Would you be able to update the other build as well? Just can't get used to the bottom taskbar.

Anyway to get the HTC task manager back? Thanks.

Looks like my 2 month long hiatus of no ROM flashing is soon coming to an end. Good work NFSFAN.

Nope, the newer ROMs won't handle the HTC Task manager because the taskbar moved.

Same here. I'm looking forward to trying out something new.

I recommend the RC2 version. The newer versions (RC3 onward) try to replace the HTC task manager in the taskbar... from what I've heard this functionality causes issues WM6.5.3 builds. RC2 has been stable, fast and to my eye blends nicely with the TF3D theme.

EDIT: I see there is now a version of showcase specifically for the wm 6.5.3 builds. No idea how well it works.

Thanks for the reply apinkel, after I saw this I tried it out but didn't care for it. It looks GREAT, but after installing the lastest version (couldn't find the RC2 version you mention) TF3D would not load. If I switched to Titanium it worked fine, but switching back to TF3D it would just sit on the loading screen forever. Once I removed Showcase and soft reset, it loaded fine. Couldn't figure it out, so I removed it and looked some more.

After some digging, I found one called ArkSwitch, it isn't as flashy or pretty as Showcase, but its fast and it works fine with both Titanium and TF3D.

After a lot of searching and trying, I finally got every bit of TF looking the way I wanted, here is what I ended up with (and I am thrilled with it):

Hope you enjoyed some time off. Glad to see you're back.

Just disable Task Facade, remove from Startup Folder, use AE Button:

Assign one of the buttons (I use Home button) as task manager.
It's not the prettiest task manager, but work flawlessly, extremely easy, functional, and informative.

The first post in the xda thread for enatives lists all the cabs at the bottom, RC2 is one of those cabs. But regardless, glad you found something that works.

Nice clean looking home screen you've got there as well.

I do not know how it is possible I could have missed that. I see really well. I do! Anyway, grabbed RC2 and it does the exact same thing. Maybe its conflicting with something else I installed. Oh well, since ArkSwitch works well for me, I am going to just give it up and leave it alone.

Thanks! I like a bit of simplistic functionality with a little bit of class on my home. This is why I like Windows Phone so much, you can do what you want with it. I could never use an iPhone, well aside from the deep feeling of shame that would come along with it, Apple tries far too hard to control what you can and can't do with it.
