Someone? Anyone? A good task manager that looks good too?

[jawnsixteen]

V bar--- Awsome app, great menu, very fast

downfall ---- The right side is the wrong color unless you use the original windows mobile 5 home screen! We all know that most of use are running windows mobile 6 or dont use the simple blue homescreen
(ive already tried to make a new .bmp image, it doesnt work good at all.)

Magic Button --- I love the top bar icons. Great app

downfall -- The whole top of the screen is a different color! Thats ridiculous.

Pbar --- Easily the best menu.

downfall --- you have to start the program to use the app! Its not like vbar and magic button where you can access the menu from the top right of the screen

help me guys, i want a good task manager

I use Magic button as I love the simplicity of it. I do find the odd colors in WM6 weird, but have gotten used to it.

A lot of people swear by Wisbar. I put it on and it does look very cool, but its VERY different' than magic button and I didn't have time to try to figure it out. I'll probably give it a try again soon. But I'm not sure it does the active icons in the top bar like Magic Button (and I love that feature).

If you mean running program icons, it does.

I had no problem making vbar use bmps. I configured it to look like my WM6 theme. Maybe you could try it again?

What theme are you using? I can try to make it for you. I made mine by taking screenshots of the screen before installing vbar. I took one with no button, one with the "X" and one with the "OK". Use the blank for the background, then draw a small triangle on it for the context menu. The other two are self explanatory.

See the attached screenshots.

oh ok i see what you're saying. i didnt take any screen shots so i was just making a picture myself. I was using the green homescreen that comes with windows mobile 6. It even looked bad with the blue one.

I love vBar! And you can make it match whatever theme you are using:
Go to vBar Setup, click on "Show background image" and use the appropriate little menu bar piece - try this file, vbar Crossbow Turguoise.bmp, provided below - place it in \Windows.

If you are using a different Crossbow version, (for instance true WM6, that has the two-tone menu-bars), do a screen capture of your Today screen while vBar is disabled, then edit it in your favorite photo editor, cropping out just the upper right section of the screen, from the date over (be sure to get the whole bottom line of the menu bar). Name that little .bmp appropriately, copy it to \Windows, and then set it as the vBar background image, as above.

Try the file below before you go to a lot of trouble, and make sure that it works for you. Works for me! I like the "Cyclic Black Bars" theme, so I created a little .bmp so vBar will have the right background for that (also attached below).

Looks like you beat me to the reply by about half an hour, while I was composing my reply! I use Adobe Photoshop Elements to crop the little bits of my screen shot - what do you use?
