[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Congratulations, looks really nice but doesn't work on my device :(

edit: wrong link, but managed to find it. Beautiful :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] giboks20:
Link is pointing to smarttoolkit download.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tito12:
Right :) I followed the link in the signature and it works, now I'll have to figure how to make it work from the taskbar instead of Htc task manager
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
UPPPPSSSSSS :D:D:D:eek::eek::eek::eek: SORRY... I fix it... :D:D:D

Showcase

SmartToolkit

^--- Almost same name in same folder :D .... I didn't check it before...

I am so sorry....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Smille123:
Great App! What about the ability to start it with x-button? The same as launcher would be great!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tom62:
+1

I manage my run programs only by Showcase, it's terrible !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] inCuRable:
doesn't work on my omnia,just a blank screen :( Or is wqvga not supported yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GunnarKarlsson:
hi

great app but the icons for the running programs is painted a little strangely on my device. I get 4 icons painted 2x2 for every program icon. I have an ipaq 210 and changed dpi with realvga, otherwise works great...

thanks.

//gunnar

rc2 fixed the graphic issue, great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
yes wqvga not supported yet.

what resolution is wqvga? 240x480 or 320x480 ?... I will try to design it, I don't have wqvga emulator currently...

edit: Ok, I had wm6.5 emulator. WQVGA is 240x400, so I need to create one new image for skin with width 400, just wait a couple hours....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Yes that was the problem, the Icon size in GetSystemMetric will also changed if you change the dpi.. try to change it into 192dpi it should be ok...

EDIT: You can try RC2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] atzaus:
one thing missing from most task managers is listing all running processes, can you please add this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Sorry, I can't fulfill your request, because main goal of Showcase is not to become Full Features Task Manager. Showcase act as Task Switcher just Like HTC Task Manager.

It's not every time you need to check the process. Another Task Manager like FdcSoft Task Manager is more capable to do something like this. Just Install both Task Manager. Showcase for switching, FdcSoft for controlling. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarkRain:
What a nice Task manager!!

I just tried in my device but it doesn't work, surely for the 320x320 resolution.

Hope you'll release a skin also for square screen, soon or late.

Good work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gfandrea:
Can you make open this program when you hold the x/ok button?

it will be more fast, on htc touch we dont have hardware button.... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ok RC2 Is Out... Support all resolution. WQVGA/WQVGA Landscape and QVGA Square.

- HAHAHAA 1 Day 3 releases.... :D:D:D:D

About X Button I will try to code it now.. but it will on another process..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Try RC2 :D it now support your device...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Revin:
Nice app, it is what I was looking for. Just simple finger friendly task switcher. Just maybe if you can add some exception list in the future (for example I don't want to see Active Sync on task list).

Anyway thank you for this app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
Thanks for all your hard work Ahmad my friend. The configurations will answer (almost) all the tastes of different users :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Thanks a lot amarullz. You are the genius :D.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eaqle23:
Thanks for your great work.

It perfect now on my diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
so, how to install this?

Do i need to unistall the previous pack?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
I tell you what, this app is now perfect, configures exactly how I wanted it :) And thanks for the icon seperation :)

Many thanks, very few apps get updated and supported this well, great job :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
No u dont need to, just click the showcase_x icon in the start/programs menu and you'll recieve a "terminated" message, then just overwrite files into the default directory. /program files/enatives technology/showcase.

hope this helps :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
Thanks Darren8448.

Ok. I just did that and here's what happened.

See screenshots: in first photo (Today Screen), theres a button at the top right corner. But on the 2nd photio (screen2) no button.

Is this normal. thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Depends how the registry is set.

The icon you see in the 2nd pic is the new icon so you've definately install the new showcase ok. Just check reg file. If no editor on your phone then edit on pc with notepad etc.. and then just copy reg file across and import settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
The new version of the Showcase_X is configurable, but how am i suppose to configure it? I edit the registry file, but nothing happens? :confused:

And now i cant close the active sync in the showcase.:(

Any idea?

Nice program btw!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
How did u edit reg file?? did you import it to phone reg?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
Sorry total noob here. where to copy the reg entris, to the Enatives Technologies>showcase folder?

please advise...and thanks for the patience for a WM noobie.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
Sorry for my noob-ness but how do i import it to phone reg?

I edit with notepad, is it the correct way?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
notepad is fine then copy both files to your device. click on reg file from a file manager app and you will see a notification asking you if you want to import it. Click yes and then click on showcase_x.exe to turn on and voila it should work as you intended it to :)

Dont be afraid of asking questions as soon you can be then one helping a noob :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
doesnt matter, the reg file can go anywhere. You just have to click on it from a file manager app and it will ask you to import it then restart showcase_x.exe

enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
Guess im getting it done now:D

Thank you very much!

Now this nice program is even nicer!:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
good for you. I'm still stuck.

would you be kind enoughn to guide me through this, step by step please..

Darren was right, you'll be the next one helping a noob...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
step by step

1) extract zip file

2) edit reg file with notepad (still on pc)

3) connect device with activesync

4) on device click on showcase_x from the start menu/ programs menu

5) you should recieve a "terminated" notification

6) copy both new files to your device in the directory you have installed showcase into - typically /program files/e-natives technology/showcase

7) in file manager click on the reg file and click yes to import it.

8) Now click on showcase_x from the start menu/ programs menu to reactivate.

9) Reboot (never hurts to do this after installing something)

10) enjoy :D

if you have problems please be as detailed as possible as to which point or what the issue is and someone will try to help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
If you don't have any registry editor, the reg file is unusable, Try to install regedit application :rolleyes: may be PHM Regedit....

The program is still runnable even you didn't import the reg file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Now theres something I took for granted, never realised that as I always use reg editor lol

oh well.......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
in step no.2: what will i edit in the reg file?

I have PHM, REsco File Manager, and Total COmmander..

But i don't know which to edit and what to import to where...

thanks ppl, you've all been very patient with me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Configurations meaning:

* CloseOnRight (dword): 1 = X Button on right; 0 = Back Button on right

* SmallTapArea (dword): 1 = Only X tapped; 0 = X + clock/battery pressed

* HideHomeIcon (dword): 1 = No Icon On Home; 0 = Add Icon On Home

* DesktopProc (string): List of desktop/home proccess [ex:MobileShell.exe], use ";" to seperate

* ExcludeProc (dword): List of excluded proccess [ex:manilaexe], use ";" to seperate

Does this help? If i remember well its already set up for back button on right, large tap area, include home icon. So only change if you need to :)

as example i'll paste my reg rile that i use:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]

"CloseButtonOnRight"=dword:00000001

"HideHomeIcon"=dword:00000000

"SmallTapArea"=dword:00000001

"ExcludeProc"=""

"DesktopProc"=""

this has x on right hand side, small tap area, home icon and no exceptions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
I don't see this under HKCU:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]

maybe because i installed the program in the storage card, does that has to do with anything..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
ok pepps, i have to go..

will try this out at home...

thanks a million...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Thats because you havent imported it yet. Is reg file on your device in the showcase directory? If so click on it. You will be given a option to import into registry. Then you can look at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
If you can't import the reg file, download the cab below.. it will set the close on right, and small tap area.

Reg Content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase]
"CloseButtonOnRight"=dword:00000001
"HideHomeIcon"=dword:00000000
"SmallTapArea"=dword:00000001
"ExcludeProc"="manila.exe;MobileShell.exe"
"DesktopProc"="manila.exe;MobileShell.exe;s2u2.exe"

After you run the cab, the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase" will exists
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EREZYAD:
great app :-)

dont know if it was asked but can u add SR and screen OFF 2 the app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Petrovych:
amarullz, can you add the ability to display icons of running in background programs in the top bar, just like in WkTask, but with a transparent background, that would be consistent with «transparent» bars of wm6.5, and the ability to switch between the program by pressing on the icons ... Thanx a lot for your work!

Screen Rotation Problem

Hi amarullz

I am having a screen rotation problem using RC3 on a HTC Touch Pro2. The problem exists when you rotate the screen (in my case open or close the keyboard) when Showcase is in focus. Screen shots attached.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Could there be an option to stack the buttons of Showcase_X vertically instead of horizontally? I know it's neat to have the buttons replace the taskbar, but it's probably more usable to slide down instead of across the screen.

Of course, the buttons would need to be taller in that case, to avoid accidental presses.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
It already fixed by autoclosing showcase when the screen was rotated... just wait about half hour... I will upload the new version.... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] buncit8:
urang bandung euy... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Sumuhun :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ManUtd07:
Very nicely done. Downloaded and am running the new 1.0 version and all is well. The settings app worked very well. Thank you for the wonderful work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Working prefect. :D

And thanks for making gui configuration settings.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Thanks a lot for this new version !!! Great support dude :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
the new icon in the top right corner is awesome dude :D

But there is a little issue with SPB MS3:(

edit : it would also be nice to be able to skin the home button
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Use resource hacker to modify or edit home screen icon/button.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sergiorus:
Right corner icon is not shown in TouchFlo 2D, when i disable M2D it appears.

Is it possible to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Thanks dude but I already knew it :D I was just suggesting to make it easier like the other buttons :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
Excellent!!!

Bye bye HTC Task Manager...

Thank you amarullz!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JLowe:
Really great ideas & fast application!

I recognized an issue which I can't solve:

If I want to edit a new appointment in TouchFlow I can't use the Okay button in the right corner to affirm my input. Your Icon overlaps the okay-button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
same problem when you install a software you can't click on "ok" to close the window you have to click on the arrow button of the showcase bar;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zubnik:
No display of icons in the "Manila". It would like to address this problem. Thank you for your work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zubnik:
... Z u b n i K ! ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Try to play with Desktop Processes Configuration... manila.exe is default for TF3D, but I am not sure about Manila2D, will test later in my sister phone... btw here is very late, see you again tomorrow :)

PS: Oh... and try to reboot after installation... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
ver1.0.0 is still having issues on my Fuze. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. I just checked memaid and there's 5 instances of showcase running, one for everytime I clicked the showcase icon in the start menu, yet none of them will run. Usually, I have to reboot. I tried stopping the process and re-launching showcase but it still fails. Great concept, great app (when it works)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zubnik:
Play - the result of a constant! File start Manila2D.exe, but no results.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
wow, 1.0 works worse on my Fuze. Bummer, I really liked this app but it's still too buggy for me. Even when I don't load S2U2 (LOCK2) on startup this app is still buggy, most of time not working. I'm really concerned about the fact that it can open 5 times and still not work, that's bad programming.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zubnik:
... Z u b n i K ! ...

All fixed! It must be set - Manila2D.exe!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
ok, WTF!... in RC2 I was able to uninstall it and turn the original HTC task manager back on. With v1, I uninstalled it and can't get the original task manager to work again. Some help please?

Whew... issue was related to the backup I started after installing showcase, not showcase itself. Will try again on the next version....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oruam57:
I have a strange problem with Showcase 1.0 and a file explorer I am fond of (pocketexplorer.exe, attached).

When pocketexplorer is in foreground and I tap to run Showcase its window title ("Showcase") replaces for a short time the window title of pocketexplorer ("PocketExplorer") then disappears and Showcase screen does not appear. The same happens if I run Showcase directly from inside pocketexplorer (double tapping of Showcase.exe). On the other hand if pocketexplorer is minimized Showcase works normally and lists pocketexplorer with the other applications.

Notice that this problem is new for version 1.0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dy2592:
great program. Was using RC3. Lags to open when I had Opera Mobile 9.7 Beta1 but now I think it opens up faster with the v1.0.

Thanks for a terrific program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ManUtd07:
Icon Image

This may be a dumb question, but what file is the icon image located in? I've changed taskbar images using Reshacker before so I know how to do it. Thanks for any help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
thank you for the config application :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
I have similar problem, when creating an appointment or task in pocketbreeze I cant click ok as replaced by the x. Either means I hit x and it kills it or I hit back and it removes it. Either way I cant create anything :(

Apart from this I love this app, its so fast and easy to use :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
It appears that the showcase icon is catching the click on the corner and closing the program without applying the changes that you have made. I had the same problem when trying to change the power settings.

It needs to pass the ok to the program, minimize it and only then close it.

I am sure that's going to get fixed soon.

Jeannette
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
creating new appointment works fine on my device. make sure you are not running any other task manager, like htc task manager.

check your HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ and edit all the dword entries there = 0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DatDereX1:
this would be betterer imo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zer0es:
How can we add ActiveSync in the exclude list?

Do i just put in repllog.exe in the list will do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrBasem:
cool app

trying the V1.0.0

be back with report
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
yes... If not excluded, report me :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GlitterKill:
Sweet! Been using it Since RC1... Great improvements the whole time! Thanks alot for creating my default and only Task Manager App. :)

Ever thought about adding AppToDate support?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irus:
love the app but there seems to be one little bug which i don't think is your fault but if bing is open then showcase will not launch as soon as i close bing it works again otherwise works great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JLowe:
Sorry, but creating a new appointment doesn't work for me. Can someone describe that more detailled how I can manage this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
Minimize instead of close(x)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoki:
Congratulations for the v1.0 with the settings panel, this application is getting better every day. Now, my suggestions:

- The main application window should have button for calling settings panel (best place for it is on top of it, instead of that clock or "Showcase" sign)

- Add autohide (to close main window after few seconds of inactivity) option in settings

- Taping the homescreen icon shows half of showcase taskbar panel, witch is useless and should be removed

- Showcase's taskbar shouldn't appear on click actions but only on holding.

Keep up the excellent work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
FIX: S2U2 & Showcase conflict

Add ilock2.exe to the exception list in Showcase Settings. It should take effect immediately, if not reboot the device. ilock2.exe is the app that triggers S2U2. The conflict was really with ilock2.exe and showcase, not S2U2.exe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aegishua:
Any way to exclude the Windows Honeycomb startmenu from the X-Button modification? But besides that problem I've had no other issues with the App and it's extremely convenient to use. Good Work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
Note: This exception should probably be included in v1.01 as a default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
ANnother suggestion for 1.01 or future revisions, add the correct icons to Showcase for Calendar, Contacts, Internet Sharing, etc. Certain built-in apps won't show the correct icon. HTC Task Manager had a similar issue but was corrected by having the application call back to the registry with certain application names (Contacts, Calendar). Then, in the registry you have a mapping that points each application name to a specific icon within a dll. The cool part about this is that the mapping is already done in the registry at \HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\NoIconProcess. There you will fine a mapping for app names to the icons within the system dlls.
