Task Facade v3.7b3 (PPC Application)

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:

3.7.b3 /2008-11-03/:
# initial process detection changed
+ primitive d-pad support (request if you need extension)
+ icon for marking process to be closed (configurable in config.txt)
+ processes marked for closing will be closed in background after activating other process (no delay when switching to a process)
# horizontal/vertical alignment changed (no more space in the middle)
# double tap speed changed from 600 ms to 200 ms (less delay when switching to a process, can be changed in config.txt)
# ‘activate on wakeup’ feature disabled by default
+ ‘show wallpaper’ flag in config.txt
+ only current orientation wallpaper is loaded on startup; when changing orientation, the corresponding wallpaper is being loaded from file -> less memory usage
