Did anyone found a fix or work-around to the closing of the wm6.5 start menu with wktask?

I'm using the TODAY shortcut myself, because if we close it on wktask... it remains closed until a reset is done.

I want to add it to the exception list, buts is not a EXE file.
Thanks.

i dont think i can help to much... but if its not an exe do you know what it is? i dont think it is built into task bar...... i think i read somewhere someone said it WAS an exe..... could be mistaken though

I looked thru the registry and the Windows folder, all I found was startkey.exe, but its related to the keyboard only...

a workaround

if you set the ok/x button to minimize when tapping in the wktask options and use htc task manager in the options to close with x button when tapping, it will work like you want it to.

Nop, doesnt work... Works fine on close, but on "OK" (like in the settings) it minimizes and never accepts the new changes.

I can still add a new action on WKTask to close on drag (and so accept the OK button), but thats even harder to use than the simple press on today to close the start menu. :/

In my case I use the Quick Menu to close the programs, such as Task Manager, but when you click on the Quick Menu screen appears but the set up to load the key on the phone and open the Start Menu of Windows!
I use a P3600 (trinity)
Translated by Google!

Como és português:
No meu caso eu estou a usar o Quick Menu para fechar os programas, como Task Manager, e sim quando se carrega no ecrã aparece o Quick Menu mas da para configurar para carregar na tecla do telefone e abrir o Start Menu do Windows!
O meu pda é um P3600 (trinity)

Thanks, but I got confused on both languages, lol...

So, if I understood correcly, you use the default start menu on simple press, but you press and hold so that quickmenu appears to close the open applications in its task manager option?

After some coffe I finally understood...lol.
You use quickmenu and have a hardware button to open the default start menu.

I still find my work-around easier, would prefer a real fix, of course. :/

Found a working solutions here:
http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showpost.php?p=851186&postcount=6


Just add to the WKtask exclusion list (with the "dont close" option checked) these taskbar names:

• Start
• Settings
• Connections
• Personal
• System
• Games

(and any other folder names you may have)

As far as I know the program has no way of doing that, remenber that it was made long before WM6.5...
Maybe they will add that option on a future version.

The best I got was choosing the colors as close as possible to the theme's colors.

maybe by ripping the file of the stock 6.5 taskbar somehow and overwriting it in to the wktask bars file...

Very sad to see it doesn't blend with the skin. WinMo has become frustrating again for me...

with wktask getting problem with the new graphics of WM 6.5, I am force to leave it for HTC task manager. Anyone faced problem with tab not getting similar backgrounds & thus giving ugly looks. Would appreciate if someone comes out his or her experience.
