Thanks for your info... I will add this configuration for default in next update. Also I already fix some bugs, and will upload soon, but not today.

Here some finished works:

- Add OK Button on Showcase_X.exe

- Remove DeskProc. The home/showcase icon will show on top-right only when the window doesn't have X or OK button.

- Redesign configuration... "DeskProc" was removed, and Button to switch Showcase_X on and off added.

I need some expert to help me:

When there is dialog with OK button, what should I do to send OK button without send tap message into HHTaskBar?, (Send tap message sometime buggy in some device).

I had try WM_COMMAND with IDOK, or WM_SYSCOMMAND with SC_CLOSE. but no one successful.

Thanks.. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
In 1.0, we can now hide activesync (or any app) from the applicaation list, now I can finally use the 'Close All' button. So awesome! thanks again.

Another future idea, make the Homescreen icon skinable. Some users have those fancy color taskbar icons, they would love you for this addition. I like the basic white, so I'm good with what you got there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I have different method and work well, but not ready for next release...

Here the method:

Showcase installation will include setup.dll, after installation it will create cache file in Showcase directory, then read all *.lnk in \windows, \windows\start menu[recursive], then save icon information into the cache file.

If showcase only get default WM icon, it will look at cache file, and show the valid icon in the task lists.... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Edit the Showcase_X.exe with reshack...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smittyofdhs:
that works too!... can't wait to try that in a future release.

Thanks..

Bug: there's a conflict with Sprite Backup software. Sprite will hang during backup process. Once 'sprite backup.exe' is added to the exception list, sprite works fine. For safe measure I also added 'showcase.exe' and 'showcase_x.exe' to the exception list in Sprite Backup 6.5.

Thanks dude I already knew it :D But there will be a lot a skinner interested if you could make it easier like the other buttons :cool:

Could swiping down become a shortcut to directly launch Showcase?

In my last post I said that I'd be paying close attention to this project, of so many, this one really stood out.

After I figured out how the X enhancement in R3 works, I've got to say, this is the best system function add on out this year. No. 1 by a long shot. Well done.

A suggestion (if it's not already in 1.0), I like how swiping left from the X gives the choice to cancel, close, or launch Showcase. Could we make swiping DOWN from the X just go ahead and directly bring up Showcase?

Thanks for your hard work! Excellent result!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
i think someone suggested this earlier. the main thing Ahmad is fixing right now is the OK button function of Showcae_X. somehow, it doesn't work properly in some windows. maybe after fixing this problem, he'll be able to address some of our other concerns :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
dude... you've at the very least show all processes... not just applications..

think about it. without showing all processes to have it running as a task manager, it's just like using HTC's XButton...

i like the interface btw :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] minglee:
Caution

Installed the Showcase V1.0.0 and rebooted my Xperia.

Then, my X1 can't read the SD card.

My PC can detect the SD card but it says that I have to format the card before I can use it.

Now, I have to format my card.

I don't know if it is an isolated incident.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
+1 It would be awesome to have a tab for the processes, it would be a real task manager :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CRACING:
Hello,

I found a two problems.

Palringo shows in Showcase but it doesn't close. Actually it should be force killed and htc taskmanager was doing so but not the Showcase. Showcase X will only minimize it but it won't permanently close ( When X button is pressed too ). However, there is a option on Palringo to close it permanently.

Comm manager doesn't show on Showcase, when its running. :confused:

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vicodiamond2:
:( X button works but showcase works only once but doesn't work after a second soft reset. That's what I have after clicking a lot of time on the button supposed to launch showcase. Why ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
I have the same problem... :( here is the error message in english :

:( The program was working fine this morning and since the afternoon it is not ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobRedbeard:
Yeah I've noticed this Okay button problem too. For example, in contacts, if you use Pocket Outlook to edit extended details about your contact (instead of just using manila), there is an okay button in the upper right corner but it's not selectable. Hope he gets it fixed, otherwise, I love this program! :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Showcase_X.exe and Showcase.exe should be in the same directory...

In your case, it's like you run showcase_x in different directory, or you place showcase_x.exe in startup directory... Read the previous post about how to install Showcase_x, or just upgrade into 1.0.0...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
Hi ,

i find a bug with my touch Pro.

To start, i want to say it s a nice good job :)

I have two problems :

First is when i start streaming Media, i can't use my volum control . Instead of this , it show the bar of showcase .

The second problem is with Streaming Media too. I can't put in whole fullscreen

I use PACKAGE_Tachi_StreamingMedia and PACKAGE_Tachi_FullScreenPlayer in my kitchen.

Can someone help me please ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Try use settings... then Enabled Small Tap Area...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
amarullz,

I really love your showcase app, but unfortunately I discovered

some really annoying behaviour in it. Using 1.0.0 ATM.

OK, first discovery it, that the key ExcludeProc with excluded

apps seperated by ; cannot be more than 255 characters, so

if you have to exclude several applications like Thumbcal, tmail,

repllog, pocketcm, fingerpoint and so on you will get over 255 characters.

This results in the whole string is being ignored in showcase once

it gets more than 255 characters and all excludes apps will show up

in showcase again. So I suggest it is better idea to make subkeys

like exclusion1, exclusion2 and so on like in s2u2.

The other one, much more annoying for me, is, that showcase seems

to have some sort of very high memorythreshold which unexpected

quits/kills all running processes at a time when the threshold is exceeded.

Unfortunately the htc memorythreshold value is not valid/active for

showcase so the processes all get killed on my polaris at a roundabout

of 50 (!) MB free RAM. I tried this several times with some different

open applications like fingerpoint, tmail, pocketcm and mortplayer

or e.g. mortplayer, opera9.7b1 and resco registry.

mortplayer and opera still work fine with about 51MB still free memory,

but as soon as I start the Registry Explorer some seconds later opera and

mortplayer (and all

other open apps) in the background getting killed and have to be started

over again. Is there a way to turn off or better adjust this threshold

to keep running apps alive until lets say 20MB free memory?

Others than this the program is really great and I would love to see

it further developed in future.

Cheers, Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
Ok , it work nice.

Can you help me to make it in my cook by making me a package?

Thx a lot for your help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Yes, I was set max 255, but I will add more, if this max value needed.

But Showcase didn't manage any memory threshold :confused:. Maybe HTC Task manager still active, or some other ram manager??.

Showcase run on background only to intercept X Button -> "Showcase_X.exe", but never watch any ram usage, and it's only 1KB on memory. When you select Showcase Icon, it will launch other application "Showcase.exe", The Showcase.exe only read the current memory and doesn't take any actions...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I will update the file tomorrow, It includes many fix for Showcase_X.exe, I will also create cook package...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eaqle23:
one bug feedback

msn cannot be closed sometimes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
Thx amarullz's , i will wait . Nice job anyway :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
Yep, you seem to be right about this. Will further investigate what

does kill my running apps in background.

Do you know what sometimes causes Showcase_X to come up

after several seconds (up to 10) when certain apps are running,

e.g. PocketCM or Opera? If I have those running in background

and then tap on the showcase today icon to bring the list up to

be able to switch between them, it needs sometimes upto 10s

to appear on screen :confused: It's not every program but just

some...

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
I have noticed the same thing when using Opera (I don't use PocketCM).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarxic:
I have an issue with how long it takes Showcase to open as well. It takes anywhere from 6-12 seconds everytime I start the program. It doesn't matter what program I'm in or how I call up the app either (hardware shortcut, from programs menu, or from showcase-x app).

I love this program and love the implementation of the x button, truly a very useful tool. I just wish it would be quicker to come up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccione:
Hi Amaralluz, a little bug on my Diamond.

After installing a program (any program), it's impossible to close the summary window. You must close Showcase_x before.

Thanks.

P.S. I've place Showcase 1.0 in my ROM. :)

(It's not a great ROM, but your Task Switcher makes it!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Speedyp:
Same problem here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chad.pflughaupt:
I love the X app, however, I was wondering if it could completely replace the titlebar in all apps except on the today screen. I have always wanted to do something like that, but have never had any idea how to execute it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshu:
Great app.

Two small issues I noticed. could not kill Live messenger and on uninstall, the icon spacing was not reverted (i am sure setting one icon length before uninstall will work around it.

-------------------------

Telus stock ROM with some taskbar tweaks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
Amarullz you rock!!

this is great man.

now i need not worry about importing the reg file because V1.0 is here!!!

tellin' you guys, this app should take home the "add-on of the year" award hands down... if there should be any.

can't wait to show this off to my friends.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
I have the solution to create it more faster when you launch Showcase, but it eat about 200-300kb RAM (VGA) to cache Skin and other resource on background.... I will add it on configuration...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rjmjr69:
Looks very promising good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ejoya:
thanks for this great task manager.

device: omnia wm 6.5

suggestions:

holding the x button will show up the 3 buttons.. sliding and dragging to the left is hard to activate the task manager. (maybe sliding down is easier?)

normal tap of x button should not show the 3 buttons.. its annoying when it keeps on popping out.

home button is not necessary since everyone has the end key button to go to home..

faster load if possible

maybe theres a way to replace the button bar

bugs found:

when tmail is on and you are on a reply mode, it will show 2 tmail.exe.. the problem is sometimes showcase will show for a sec and close itself.. (some other programs also exhibit this problem)

its a bit harder now to tap the x button when i installed showcase, maybe it takes a few millisecs delay because of loading the software hence my tap wasnt recognize as fast as before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
Anybody having issues withshowcaseX and SPB3.

It seems that hwen you're in the Time Screen (as well as the Weather Screen), the X and the Showcase button overlap each other.

The button functions as normal, though. Its just that it doesn't look good in the display. (please see attached pic)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Open Showcase Settings, Delete "MobileShell.exe" in DeskProc config.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anwei40:
This is amazing.

I've assigned it a hardware button replacing hotvoice; it's the alt-tab I always wanted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
For some reasons, it always go back to the original settings with mobileshell still in the deskProc.

even after soft reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
try to delete it manually in your registry

HKCU>Software>e-Natives Technology>Showcase>DesktopProc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daved+:
Works great, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
I uninstalled then reinstalled back.

Now, finally there is only X button in the Time or Weather Screen.

However, the sowcaseX button in the Today or Home screen is no longer present...

what's wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
did you delete the whole DesktopProc key?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
I only deleted MobileShell.exe using PHM reg editor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
the icon is not present? even if you tap on the upper right corner, the showcase task manager doesn't appear?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majkeljj:
is this possible to make X button to close app not hide?I know about small menu where I can choice close but it is not so finger friendly and I generally close apps not hide.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YACO:
Love the app but i found a bug and have a suggestion...

BUG: if you open an Outlook Appointment X won't close it... there's no way to close it really if X is running.

SUGGESTION: if you just tap the X button the bar shouldn't blink... it looks ghetto... it should just close the application without blinking anything
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majkeljj:
symilar is with OK button. When I try to press OK button small menu blinks. I don't like this menu over OK button.

My 2 sugestions:

- add possibility to enable/disable small menu

- add possibility to close app by pressing X without opening Task Switcher.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarxic:
Awesome! That will be a very welcome option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arasarn:
settings screen problem

Microsoft should cut this guy a check and implement this into 6.5 final.

However, there are some issues with changing the settings of the app though.

When you go to hit OK on the settings menu to make your changes, it hits the x button in the showcase program if you have set it to “Close Button on Right”.

This is solved by using a registry editor (CeReg Ed, PHM, Total Commander, Resco) to change your settings.

HKCU\Software\E-natives tehcnologies\showcase

I would set all the integer variables to 0 (especially close on right)

add these to the “exclusions”

“repllog.exe” – activesync,

“manile.exe” – TFLO3d

“_mpman.exe” – CFC Compressed TFLO3d (if you are running cfc compression off a patch)

An apply changes button om the settings screen would fix this little niggle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] badaas:
clicking 'tick' marks induces an 'x' type of close, so settings set in say bluetooth advanced setting aren't saved, but cancelled :(

also some timeout to popping up top menu would be nice, so tapping 'x' closes app, but holding say for a second pops up slider menu.

and, an option to pop slider menu down right hand side of screen would be ace, as a) miss-hits opens notifications menu! b) i'm right handed, so sliding down rather than 'along top' is easier and more ergonomic

great app :D thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Hehehe.... Just Wait Patiently... I will fix all problems and bugs and some great suggests as best as I can, especially the X button ( I did the great results, you don't affraid again about "can't press the OK buttons") ..... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D But oh.... GOD, I am only have 2 hand and 1 Head :D:D:D:D:D:D... So it need some time to release...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldoski:
The icon on the Home/Today Screen is not present.

But when you tap the upper right hand corner, the showcase menu appears.

Is that normal and OK.

I also noticed that when you install something (like a cab), the summary can't be closed by the ok button.

Other than that, this app works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
amarullz, you seem really ecstatic about your progress. Should we be the same way? :D:D:D

Oh yeah, still experiencing lots of lag when the phone is under just a bit of load. Perhaps you could look into running Showcase as a service?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
No worries dude :cool: Take the time you need, your doing a great job

cheers:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
yes it's normal, but you can show the icon by changing the settings :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dy2592:
you can have the x button moved to the right instead of the middle by changing it in settings. that way when you activate the showcase menu, it will hit the close action,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] badaas:
+1 hehe ;) ALL good, take your time. thanks for replies :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krazy_about_technology:
Oh My GOD! The best got better! Buddy you have taken my heart! I want to kiss you man! (PS: I am perfectly straight, this is just an act of appreciation :D ) This task manager has almost anything i can ask for. Thanks a lot for it. I am gonna cook it into my ROM. I hope thats not a problem. I will post ROM with all the due credits to you ofcourse :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Daved+:
I had to uninstall it because it freezes my phone up with some apps like PortSIP.

I really miss it, it's a great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majkeljj:
yes, I know, but in this situation when I ex. add new appointment in calendar I must add it by clicking OK in the corner, but when close is in right possition and I click OK it don't add new appointment. To add I must hold OK to see small menu and move finger to middle position (back). this is even worser solution then CLOSE in the middle in menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XuMEPA:
amarullz

Thank you very very very much for your software... It's better than other any warezz.

Good luck to you, guy!

P.S. On HTC Diamond your soft works perfectly!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Really a great task manager! I just noticed one more odd thing with the X enhancement: If I slide from one message to the next one (in messaging) the enhancement (topbar) appears shortly.

And one odd thing with Showcase itself: If I launch the Showcase shortcut from within MobileShell 3 it takes very long to load. If I launch it from e.g. Resco Explorer it appears really fast.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grandpa2007:
great app , but it freezes my phone up with cleanram 1.5.9:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Why don't you add Showcase_X.exe in exception list???

Yes If this process was terminated (force) it will freezes your taskbar. If this process was terminated you need to restart shell32.exe (fix me if I am wrong), So I think level-3 cleaning without "shell32.exe" in exception list was good choice...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
New showcase_x.exe

Here New "Showcase_X.exe" With OK Button...

PLEASE TEST IT... NEED YOUR REPORTS

What's new/fixed:

1. Add OK Button

2. DeskProc was not used now.. Home Icon will show in every windows without OK or X Button

3. Improved performance on tap only

Download the file below.... I wait your reports, I will update the version soon... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grandpa2007:
ok , works fine - thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ok.. previous page is update :D

DOWNLOAD THE NEW FILE HERE

I don't have this problem (I am not use it everyday)... Try to enable Close Button On Right
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darren8448:
Havent tested fully yet but so far its perfect. Issue solved with ok button (but of course you knew that :cool:).

Great work will donate as soon as I can :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m6silver:
Great software!

Hi, your great showcase is going to replace HTC taskmanager. Will you include an option to close application tapping on X just like HTC Taskmanager?

I would also like to skin your showcase icon and post at my taskbar thread with all credit to you and your link of cos.

Many people have ask me to skin the HTC Taskbar but it is impossible right now and I wouldn't recommend other taskmanager as they are not as good as the default HTC one. But now Showcase seem so promising and beautifully done, I'm sure it is going to please many people.

It would be better if you could separate the bitmap from the exe file so most skinner can just replace the BMP file in windows. It would be even better if you use ico instead of BMP which don't support transparency.

Many thanks and wishers you all the best!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YACO:
Working nicely this time! Appointments now close perfectly... Thanks! Good Software!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chelsea_fc:
please add support for 320x320 devices on the showcase dialog settings, i can't tick the show icon on homescreen...thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Don't donate yet... My PayPal is locked... I can't even use my current money :D:D:D:D:D

I will try it, but if the performance was terrible, I won't do that... :)

You can do that by checking the "Close Button on Right" in Showcase Settings.

P.S: And Make sure you update new Showcase_X.exe and Showcase_S.exe in previous page ( Test Build, but worth to use :D )

No Problem, Don't Worry, I will add it... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m6silver:
Deleted...doublepost sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m6silver:
Thank you, It is working great with the X to close application now. Previously I wasn't able to save setting when the X was move to the right. I'll look forward to your next update.:D

It work much better . I just can't try showcase_X.exe cause i can't copy it :(

I hope you will make a new cab , and why not a package too ^^ :)

Nice job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chasy:
much better now :) great app .. great work . keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
It was test build :) . To replace it you can stop the Showcase_X.exe by running Showcase_X.exe before you copy it, It will show you that The X Button was Terminated.. then you are ready to replace it...
