I use WKtask. My most essential phone enhancement. I'm on WinMo 6.1 though (don't know if it works in 6.5).

It doesn't have the bt/phone/wifi toggle fatures but if you combine it with VJVolubilis (you need to create the shortcuts with the commands and add them to the launcher). If the Wifi part doesn't work use also AKToggleWifi.

light weight yet powerful~~~~~

Dear nncuong,

will it be possible to hide the top right program bar?

(I am having a HD2) :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Wow now that's a blast from the past! This is one of the first apps I ever used in my ppc!

If you're willing to take suggestions it would be cool to:

1- Be able to set a custom TaskManager linked to the button (like DotFred's Task Manager instead of the the default WInMo one

2- Use the built in functions via cmd (like the toggle phone/wifi/bt, close this/all/except this, screen toggle, rotate... since this is a small tool may be a useful addition to use with scripts)

3- Add exceptions directly from running process list (or add a button for browsing to the options menu)

4- For some reason I can't use the slide function... But different actions for horizontal/vertical slide would be cool

Missing X in today screen, sluggish X in all other screens.

I installed the latest pbar on my phone and I have lost the X on the right side of task bar on the today screen. I have it on all of the other screens but it very difficult to get the X to respond.

It looks like some kind of conflict to me.

I also have installed the Dinik Anastasia Task Bar 1.5, Dinik Anastasia Volume Indicator Fix and Batt Clock 3.0.6 by Zuinige Rijder Rick.

I am NOT running sense or manilla.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Longstreet:
Holy cow! This is GREAT! I've only had it for a few minutes, and am still playing with it, but so far I'm loving this app.

I do have a similar problem as a couple of other posters though. The icon overlaps my battery level indicator. I've turned the "battery level on top" on, so it's not a huge problem, but I would like to clean it up. Any suggestions?

HTC Pure, WinMo 6.5 Professional, SPB Mobile Shell, but bone-stock otherwise. I love this phone, but ever since I got it (4 months ago) I've been trying to figure out a way to get the Task Manager in the Notification Bar, so I could save screen real estate. This does what I was looking for and more.

EDIT: Okay, while playing around I found a way to fix my problem. In "Options", "Indicator", I set Main Number in Task Bar to Local Time. Everything lines up properly now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shkedi:
Exceptions list bug ?

first of all i use this since my i-mate jam back in 2004 /5, and this is the first app that goes onto every device i bought since, really the best task manager ever.

when i used the the older v1.5 on my HD2 (the one that is 68K) the exception list items get minimized and not closed, (that is the way it should be)

but on this latest version v1.5 (153K file size), exception list items just stay on, and don't get minimized nor closed...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elbarhoum:
works like charm!! thanks a billion! this is exactly what i was looking for, i would donate some money if i could, unfortunately we don't have credit cards over here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dioxda2:
SO??.....

why not have the money sent via email? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ChitownWingMan:
Can I disable the down arrow on the task bar.

I am using some enhanced icons. The down arrow icon on the task bar is overwriting my clock. If I use your clock it overwrites part of the fancy icons.

Is there any way to disable the down arrow on the task bar. Or move it all the way to the right so the down arrow appears when the X isn't there?

Other than that, great application on my T-Mobile USA HD2.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Longstreet:
Been using it for 2 weeks now, and found a couple of bugs.

1. Like ChitownWingMan, it has affected my "X" button, top right of screen. Very unresponsive when tapping X.

2. Volume rocker, instead of turning volume up or down, toggles the pBar dropdown.

Both of these are easy to work around, and are not near enough trouble to make me uninstall pBar. But I would like to know what's going on, and if a fix is possible.

As I said previously, great app. If nothing else, I use it to kill ActiveSync 20 or 30 times a day...;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
This program rocks! Used to have MagicButton installed (also free) but it didn't like my black bars :P

Now I've assigned pBar to my Camera button so it pops-up when I want to :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
wow! it's a great alternative to spb pocketplus.

btw, i'm unable to put contacts in my favorites using vicott's suggestion... can anyone lend a hand?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivan12:
Great tool, but when I press action key to execute favorite list, it doesn't work on HTC Artemis's(P3300) trackball-control(action-key).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vicott:
I think it's because there is a limit to the number of favorite apps you can add and you have already hit the limit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
i tried to add contacts as my fourth favorite (before i reached the limit), but it doesn't seem to recognize the program. i do not have the same problem when using PI7 though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
Contacts is a part of Poutlook, in appbutton has link of contacts. You can add manual. The path is \Windows\AppButton\Contact.lnk
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
great tip! thanks, it's working ok!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jimmymotek:
Hi ,

Great Great Program, i like it alot , I also assign a key for it ,

simply great.

I have also a request for the next version can you add a function that can hide software from list (you can chose it on exception list, or at least that closeall button won't close the app from the exception list)

10x alot

jimmy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] J_Hutt:
Great app!

1/ Selecting a favourite using d-pad does not activate shortcut. The favourite can be started by selecting with screenpress tho.

2/ It would be great to be able to close an app in the 'running' list by navigating with d-pad and then using right action (ie to select the 'X' next to the app)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
Oh, It's a bug. I'll fix in next version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] intrudervs1400glp:
to install this application i have to send the full zip file to pda or i have to send an specific file to pda? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hendrixus:
Sprite Backup resets when pBar is active 14 secs after the backup is started.

I had the same problem with InClose Mobile: Express Edition v5.0

But the last one has an exclusion list, pBar hasn't.

So I have to exit pBar when making a backup.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rstoeber:
pbar is a very handy application - exactly what I was looking for. I only have one problem. I installed the program in Windows/Programs folder. The option to run at startup is checked. When I soft reset I get an error message saying "The file pBar cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."

Am I doing something wrong? Should I put it in a different directory?

Thanks for a great utility. Looking forward to the changes in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
I've the same 'query' cos' i'm a newbie to ppc.. tried install an exe file to my ppc phone but it wasn't recognise.. then someone told me to run it on my pc first. but for pbar, when i run on my pc, it said this is not a win 32 application.

so, for this one do i copy to my ppc phone directly? can put in any folder?

___________

Managed to find the answer to my query. For such exe file which can't be launch on pc are meant to be copy to ppc and launch there.

Another question - is such exe file meant to be left in the ppc after launching it? or is it an installer which can be deleted after launching it? sorry, newbie here..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Stevo.Mksr:
Nice..

Thanks 4 the app. nice job man... let us know if there any repair or new ver. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rstoeber:
Sian,

You have to put the .exe file on your device and leave it there. It has to run each time you reboot the device. It has an option setting so that it should run automatically at each reboot, but that's not working for me on a Treo 700wx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] victoradjei:
For it to work after every reset paste a short-cut in \Windows\StartUp
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rstoeber:
Ahhhh, that's my problem. I had originally installed the .exe file in one place and then moved it into the \Program Files directory. But the shortcut in \Windows\Startup was still pointing at the original location.

All I had to do was change the shortcut to point at the .exe file in the correct location and now pBar starts properly after a soft reset.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zhaoyun:
Did anyone came across the situation that when using sktools, I clicked ok in one of the sub-screens, supposedly it should go back to the sktools main menu but after pbar was used the whole sktools was exited instead?

I have set the pabr to close the window when tapping X.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Yes, I'm facing this problem as well. I had mentioned before but no answers so far.

The other problem I noticed was sometimes, when I press the pointing down triangle of pBar icon on top right hand corner, I got the screens of applications or program menu in the reverse order that I had executed. Example:

I start explorer, next start menu and program.

Press pBar pointing down triangle, I see program menu and then explorer.

Don't understand what happened. It happens occasionally, not all the time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fire00:
I've got the problem that when running pBar, I tap on the pBar symbol at the top and nothing happens. Most often when I'm on the home screen. The only thing I can do then to show up pBar is to tap on the pBar.exe in Program Files.

Problem with pBar.

I got one problem. While I had pBar running, I tried to send SMS and send. Before I got the notification about successfully sending out the SMS, I close/minimize the text messager and only to realise that I was not notified at all about the SMS send out. When I tried to access the text messenger (or maximize), the notification came out! (it could be hours later). To make it worst, I was told by friends that I in fact send out 2 similar SMS to them instead of one!

Dunno if anyone has the same problem. I am on Dopod 818 pro and I have do a hardware reset to factory default just to make sure that it is not due to software crash with other installation. I had the same problem after the reset and just with pBar alone.

Beside this, pBar is perfect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] V J:
Nice tool! :)

But the pBar icon is over my time and signal strenth indicators. Changing to "hh:mm:ss tt" is not possible, as I'm using a 24-hour format.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pbk105:
nncuong,

This is a very nice app and I use it often. One question though, I own a Cingular 8525 (aka Hermes) and have your app set up to launch when I press the PTT button. I can then use the jog when to select an application and bring it to the foreground by pressing the jog wheel.

I would like to also be able to use the "OK" button next to the jog wheel to close any application that I've highlighted with the jog wheel. Is there a way to set pBar to do this currently? If not would you consider implementing this for a future version? This would make it the perfect app for a single handed task manager.

\
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lcohen999:
I use this 100% of the time now, it is a great program (on my 6700)

The only two things I'd love to see you add is a way to hide exception icons.

For example, I will never close activesync, so I shouldn't see it in the list.

Also, if you could make it a little more one handed, ie, select will task switch, and right arrow will kill the app.

Keep up the amazing work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fire00:
I don't know what to do, nobody does answer to my question. I'd like to use and love it as well, but still have one problem.

Sometimes (let's say every second one) pBar does not appear when I click with my nail or pen on the top right appropriate place. I need then to activate pBar by pressing the signed hardware button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JezD:
Superb screen rotation tool included - this works great on XDA Orbit !!

Bug and minor feature request

I think I found a small bug.

My iPAQ hx4700 (VGA WM5) uses a NavPoint touchpad for navigation, and it has a "Cursor Mode" where you can move a mouse pointer around on the screen just like using a touchpad on a laptop. And just like a laptop, you tap on the touchpad to make a selection (mouse click).

pBar seems to respond not to selections/taps, but rather only to the position of the pointer. So when the pointer is positioned over the titlebar's ok/close box or the drop-down triangle, pBar just goes haywire, rapidly reacting to many, many clicks, even if I'm not tapping at all.

Other than that, it's really a nice piece of software.

One small request: when the time is 1:00 through 9:59, I'd like to see the leading zero removed from the titlebar clock and the resulting number re-centered within its allotted area. That's certainly not keeping me from using the program though!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Quicksand:
It's not a bug. It's that !@#$% NavPoint touchpad. Never mind :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pgp:
great soft, nice work

is there any way to put the clock 24 h, i chan it but any time the htc resets it changes back to 12 hour mode.?

thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhansen:
Another thumbs up

Saved me from adding alot of other programs, thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
you should place tmail.exe in the exceptions list. another way is to open messaging, then open pbar and tap on the exceptions icon (bottom row, fourth icon).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rayson:
Pbar

can anybody teach me some trick on the ok button

after i install the Pbar i can tap the X to close the program but when i click on the ok button on my Dopod 818pro the program will minimize instead of closing it

thank!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zoki:
I'd like this option too! Any news about new version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dam:
little bug : no {X} in pop up menu

hello,

I really enjoy your software and this is a minor bug report :

For some software that are running, the {X} mark will not appear next to their name in the pop up screen.

especially, software/freeware from this place :

http://mobile-sg.com/

for instance :

http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=ClearTemp&platform=ppc

I joined an picture :)

update : it looks like the software I'm talking about have a smart close by default (they will not minimize by default). I think this is the reason why when I minimize them they would not show correctly in the pop up menu.

How do u make the images smaller?

This is a great program and i love it. I started using it on my MDA and noticed that the icons are crowded and i can barely see them. How can i make the icons smaller? How can i uninstall the program if i want to?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ed_bracam:
Good software, thanks.

Only one point : color of the button place does not correspond to the new colors of WM6 taskbar...

News: oups it was about 1.2 version, the 1.3 is perfect for WM6 but not in english...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jafre:
Hi nncuong,

Congrats on this great app !

Would you like to consider a sugestion?

How about making visible the icons of apps currently running, in the start bar like Magic Button does?

With possibility of changing bettween them and closing.

How about that? It would be great!

best regards,

Jafre
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
I have pBar assigned to a button, when I press it the menu of pBar already shows all active programs. I can even close them one by one, or all at the same time :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] murata:
when we can expect version 1.3 english?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agovinoveritas:
I have no issues. I like...

I find the most important thing is that it is small and non-intrusive.

Nice.

It is not hard to translate to Eng.

I compared the 1.3 with 1.2 and be able to translate as pic but there is a string value I can't understand(cicled in pic 01)

I translated for self using only cause no permission from nncuong.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
On their website, mentioned in this thread. But I can't read it! There is no English version available. It looks very much like v1.2 so I can't tell you what has chanced..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chuotdx:
Here you are: http://vietdic.com/default.aspx

select the pull down menu to the one you need, some clue for you: Việt = Vietnamese; Anh = English; Đức=german; in order to type Vietnamese, you must learn some rule, here is one of the rule call telex (select the Telex button) due to Vietnamese have tones, the rule are:

dd = đ

ee = ê

oo = ô

ow = ơ

aa = â

aw = ă

uw = ư

then the rule for acented such as

as = á

af = à

aj = ạ

ar = ả

ax = ã

same rule for others

it's quite complicated but I don't know how to explain it clearer. Sorry if it wouldnt help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curious D:
Thanks for the program. I have been using it for the past two weeks and have eliminated my previous closing program as well as my battery program. It works very well with a few minor exceptions. It seems to have problems closing WM5Storage and things opened in the Settings menu. While I can close WM5Storage from its own shut down button, I'm having more difficulty with the Settings menu items.

It's been a while since the author has posted on this thread. I hope you still come around to see the appreciation that users have for your efforts. Thanks again.

Icons disappearing

This is certainly one of the best task managers around, many thanks to nncuong.

I have a little problem though: sometimes the icons inside the pbar window disappear and only a soft reset solves it. Don't know yet if it is conflicting with another prog. Anyone else noticed that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] taigawutz:
pBar assigned to button

:confused: How can I assign a button to pBar; in my "settings" I can only assign programs, which are installed by setup or CAB-Files... does mean: i can't see the application "pPar" in the Program-List...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
Create a shortcut to your "program files". Now you can choose pBar in the button settings ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] agovinoveritas:
Anyway I have been using this app for quite sometime, so for you non-users I would highly recommend it. It is small, light on resources and I have no problems closing anything with it. It allows me to get rid of at least two other more hog-like apps. Like SPBs and Magic Button. I am still using 1.2 althought I already downloaded 1.3 earlier this week. The author is supposed to be working in an English website but when you go to there you just get the under construction site page. No love still for us English users yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Curious D:
Has anyone noticed that programs such as the comm manager or the phone keypad doesn't truly close out with pBar? Actually, I have GSPMagic and when I have the Taskbar, it shows these programs still running. Odd. At any rate, the GSPMagic closes these programs so I'm using that as well to close out any programs pBar doesn't handle. I'm just not fond of the "X" Button that GSPMagic has. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xtonda:
Although this application is pretty small in size, it is really gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for quite a long time, all in one (battery/memory indicator, task manager, launcher, display off switcher)

I would only appreciate possibility to configure, that X button behavior is not overridden at all.

A I do not understand why application changes time format, It was a bit annoying to setting it back to format I am accustomed to.

But anyway, thank you, overall it is a great app.
