Need a good task manager recommendation...

I've been searching and seaching for the perfect task manager, but I can't seem to find one. I've checked out magic button, vbar, AE button, etc., and all of them seem to have a flaw of some sort.

Here's what I would love:
- Simple task manager to bind to the hold OK button & click and hold.
- Skinnable or color configurable
- One-handed support (to both switch to the app and close)
- Preferably doesn't have too much fluff/extra utils like wisbar advance

The ilauncher task manager would be perfect, but the today plugin must be active to use, and I don't really like the plugin very much and its fairly large...

Any suggestions??

Heheh. Didn't even see nmeister's post right before mine. I think I'll take a look at pbar...

My all time favorite is "HandySwitcher" ....

its a pay application but it never crashes, doesnt do anything weird, has a tiny footprint and is all around.... wonderful!!!

ive never tried assigning a hard key to it though, but i have tried many, and by far had the best experience with this one

Thanks for the suggestion. Upon first glance, this may be exactly what I'm looking for! One-handed support, hardware key assignable, and pretty small. Thanks again!

I think DinarSoft makes great software - I use HandySwitcher, HandyLauncher, MemMaid, and HandyMenu and they're all very, very clean. I've been using them on PPC's for at least 8 years (starting with a Cassiopeia 125) and they've never charged me for an upgrade, either! - sheureka

I also like DinarSoft software myself. I think there products are really easy to use. Lately, I've been using pBar and I like it so far. GO FREEWARE!!
