FingerSuite replaces standard menu and messagebox for our windows mobile devices.

Usage:
- configure autostart, skins and applications by new control panel applet.
- If fingermenu or fingermsgbox are visible, tap on left softkey (no label!) to access service menu (see video demo below).
- Slide right to left anywhere to go to parent menu. Last slide minimizes fingermenu.


Of course, these is a beta application so use it very carefully!!!!
These are video demonstrations of the application:

v1.09
v1.11

For skinners:
Put your skin under \Program Files\Finger<Menu|Msgbox>\skins under a custom folder, then select the skin from control panel applet. Edit font and color settings in settings_finger<menu|msgbox>.ini files.
Keep in mind that:
- selection_Xvga.png height is the menu item height
- btn_<up|down>_*vga.png height is the up/down buttons height

Multilanguage: it's provided by mean of MUI files under program folder. By default english is selected if correct rom language is not found. If you want to contribute with your language, edit Finger<Menu|Msgbox>.exe.0409.mui files changing string tables, menus and language id (important!), and post to this the thread please.

For developers, I code all the application using WTL and C++, so there is no need of .NET CF. I tested it only on my QVGA devices, but it seems to work well also under WQVGA/VGA/WVGA and other emulated devices.

About me: I'm an 31 years old italian boy and I work in Rome for a big IT company. Really I haven't so much time to coding, so I want to thank my girlfriend Agnese for her patience.

I think the new TouchFlo 2 has some similar functionality to this app, doesn't it?

Hi,

This program is now no longer required.

HTC has created its own variant.

Here is a exemple with HTC Menu in File Manager:

Pretty please... i would like to have the function to scroll up or Dpad up in order to get to the bottom menu item, like a rotating type of function. The standard windows menu supports this which makes it alot easier to get to the bottom item then clicking down 10 times, or scrolling down several screens.

Right, let me go ahead and lose everything I've ever installed, load a new rom that may or may not be 100% stable, just so I can get the same functionality as this program. LOL.For those who want a simple install, FingerMenu is much more practical.

In refrence to my post earlier, about compressing the EXE's, I went ahead and posted my compressed EXE's here Compressed_FingerMenu.zip

edit:
oh i see reef posted some compressed EXE's as well lol. The ones I put up are the ones with the default skin.
