application or task bar

[jeanlucve]

I'm searching for an application bar, or task bar (like icbar, wisbar, gigabar, ...) that can show running tasks in the title bar and that is able to show also antenna icon (the one who indicates the GSM network field).
Is there someone who can suggest me such an application?

Hi,
Magicbutton (you can download from http://www.trancreative.com/) and/or PocketNav (http://download.com.com/3000-2178-10171351.html) are perfect.

[jeanlucve]

yes, but magic button can show only one task bar at a time (usual pocket pc task bar or magic button task bar). When in magic button taskbar you can't see even the time icon and you always have to switch between the two bars.
I don't know pocket nav but I've heard that it cannot show running programs directly in the title bar, isn't it?

I use magicbutton, and I consider it one piece of art to be freeware :) ... let's remember that this is a pocket pc environment and not normal XP one. it has limited screen, RAM, CPU speed, ... etc.
the more fatures will be on one screen will make it inconvenient at the end ... maybe you should wait to have XDA III with WM2005 :D

[jeanlucve]

ok, apart of interesting XDA III ... is out there an application able to do what I said?
any experience?

Did you find anything?

You might want to check out GigaTask. This is not as powerful as Gigabar but does not hide the sig strength.

Or there is a new beta (v1.9) of Gigabar - have not tried it yet.
www.gigabar.com/beta

gigabar beta doesn't provide the feature to show network signal icon.
personally I don't like gigatask; btw there are many task managers of that type but nobody is able to show running tasks on task bar (or application bar, or navigation bar as mommy microsoft calls).

I think that wisbar advance Phone edition would do what you want (and not only you).
I hope that it will be realesed soon.

You can find the forum on www.lakeridgesoftware.com

jeanlucve... why you don't like GigaTask?
It seems nice to me. Did you have any problems with it?

Thanks,

Uros

Did try using WisBar Advance but does not work properly on my xdaII.

Is there a Phone Edition? I couldn't find mention of it. I tried WizBar Advance and it blocked the SMS/missed call notification icon and also locked up my XDA II every now and then.

Sorry Urosh my mistake, re read your post and you mention it is in the forum section

I, too, really like GigaBar...except for the above noted blocking of the phone icons.

Gene hinted in one message on his Gigabar forum that he might be able to fix this...maybe some encouragement from all of us as to how important this would be as a feature...

I also tried GigaTask which does allow display of the phone icons...but then does not show battery strength, which I really miss.
