Task Facade, previously known as Dynamo 3, is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.
Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.
As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.
Changes:
# Fix: Process list init exception
# Fix: process name converted to lowercase in ban settings
# Fix: ‘Last snapshot’ on Facade activation enhanced
+ Selected slot slightly zoomed
+ Settings saved after every change
***BEFORE INSTALL***: Before installing version 3.8, uninstall the previous version AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE ‘TASK FACADE’ FOLDER from Program Files’. You do not need its old content.
