Taskbar Launcher is a new windows mobile software that shows a customizable launch pad when you hit the taskbar. If you don’t like this launch pad you can also launch something else instead. You can also say to launch nothing at all –> this also disables HTC Notification, Samsung notification if you’re on OMNIA, or the annoying taskbar from newer 6.5.x builds.
Chnages in 0.6 BETA
support alpha PNGs
PNGs from custom commands are automatically detected from entry in Start menu etc.
internal commands can be launched using command line parameters
Yellow indication when Wifi connection is open

Manila, Phone, Start menu, Home screen and Active Sync is excluded in task manager
Still possible to switch to home screen/start menu when using prev/next gestures
immediately update taskbar when status of battery/connection has changed or when waking up from sleep

added autoclose feature
new icon set + application icon for TBL
Warning : Current version is designed for newer 6.5.x builds of Windows Mobile with the start menu on bottom. Taskbar Launcher is blocking all other applications from the taskbar, so it might be a bad idea to use it when your Start menu is still on top.
ArkSwitch is an easy to use, finger-friendly task manager for Windows Mobile 6.5.3 (with a WM6.5 compatibility mode). ArkSwitch can be opened from any screen that has the top bar visible. You can click the text of an app to bring it to the foreground, click the icon to view the App Info screen, or click the “X” image to close it. WM6.5.3 users would be crazy not to use this, this is easily one of the best task mangers out there on windows mobile 6.5.3. We will try and get a full detailed review of the app soon. Kudos to Arktronic for releasing this app. With the latest version the app supports theming and we are sure to see some amazing themes for this app in the near future
