[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arktronic:
ArkSwitch has been tested on VGA and QVGA by myself, and WVGA. It should work on FWVGA as well, although I don't think any WinMo device with that resolution exists at this time.

CHANGELOG:

[v1.2.0]

- FIX: Shortcut creation (was fixed in an unofficial v1.1.4a release earlier)

- ADD: Quickly killing the foreground app by "scratching" the activation field!

- ADD: German translation

- ADD: More registry tweaks, including one to disable the "Close All" confirmation

[v1.1.4]

- FIX: Couple of bugs with the new process mode

[v1.1.3]

- FIX: Much better stability in general

- FIX: Better handling of frozen apps (thx MichyPrima)

- CHG: Theming now allows for resolution-aware dynamic image selection (see config.xml for more info)

- ADD: Global memory info is back

- ADD: Process listing - swipe horizontally on the main task list page to see it (thx MichyPrima)

[v1.1.2]

- REM: All memory reporting features, probably only temporarily

[v1.1.1]

- FIX: Stupid crash encountered in some unique situations

[v1.1.0]

- FIX: Double tmail.exe (and others) listing in certain situations

- CHG: Reverted back to X button instead of OK button for the main ArkSwitch screen

- ADD: Memory usage percentage

- ADD: Experimental memory usage efficiency index on the App Info page

[v1.0.3]

- FIX: Various QVGA issues

- FIX: Free/total RAM refreshing when closing apps (more info)

- CHG: Icon rendering now does proper transparency

- CHG: ArkSwitch's main window X button is now an OK button so that other apps don't try killing it

- ADD: Internationalization support (more info)

- ADD: Activation field location customization

[v1.0.2]

- FIX: Overlap issue with certain themes

- CHG: gwes.exe and shell32.exe are now hard-excluded (i.e., not a choice)

- CHG: Close Task button is now Close All

- ADD: Manila to default exclusion list

- ADD: Options screen

- ADD: Color-coded free/total RAM info on the bottom

- ADD: Read app icons from start menu (caveat)

[v1.0.1]

- FIX: Resize icons that are too big

- FIX: Always open ArkSwitch when executed after it's already running

- ADD: App details screen

- ADD: Exclusion functionality

- ADD: Standard app mode (see below)

[v1.0.0]

- Original version

TODO/WISH LIST FOR FUTURE VERSIONS:

Possibly add Alt-Tab-like functionality for switching to other apps using a HW button

Add free or used RAM percentage, in parentheses or configurable

Possibly take over X button to close apps instead of minimizing? Maybe even the start button?

As possible alternative to the above, have second activation field that kills foreground apps

Prevent ArkSwitch from turning on when device is locked

Possibly add an icon bar for common tasks on top?

Suggestions?

WILL NOT LIKELY HAPPEN:

Making ArkSwitch into a service - it's pointless - see this post

WM6.5 compatibility mode:

In case you don't want ArkSwitch to take over your top bar, you can disable that functionality and thereby have it function as a standard app. In this mode, the original WM6.5 should also be fully functional. To enable this mode, either do it in the Options screen, or manually set the following Registry value:

[HKCU\Software\ARKconcepts\ArkSwitch]

TaskbarTakeover = 0 (DWORD)
