Winterface to win your hearts
New version with numerous improvements

August 13th, 2008 – VITO Technology releases a new version of one
of its best-sellers – Winterface. Winterface is a Windows Mobile shell that helps you to organize applications and settings at your PocketPC the way you like. The start gesture “rainbow” was replaced in new version by upside down tick ^. Moreover, it has become possible to add to the main screen not only applications, settings and contacts but also any files on your Pocket PC.
Besides, calendar and tasks now can notify you about upcoming events, appointments and tasks. Minor bugs have been also fixed.

The new version 1.1 of Winterface includes numerous improvements. The
major one is that we’ve changed the start gesture, now the application is
started with the help of the upside down tick ^. This gesture is unlikely to
interfere with other applications so that Winterface couldn’t pop out each
time you slide the screen. Drawing the gesture “tick” or letter “v” on your
screen can close any application you are working in.

Other improvements are concerned with tasks and calendar. For most of users
their Pocket PCs are organizers and reminders. Therefore Winterface now have red
indicators with numbers above Calendar and Tasks icons to show active tasks and
upcoming events. When tapping Calender you can see a semi-transparent window
with all events. If you need to edit time or event you can go to the calendar if
not you may return back to the screen. As for the tasks, pressing the icon you
are put straight to the Tasks to look at them and to edit.

At one of the sites where we had great discussion with our users we were
strongly convinced by the advanced WM users that they definitely need quick
access to separate files. Therefore “Files” was added to the menu of the program
that affords you to add any file to the screen. Moreover, we’ve made a
possibility to switch off the lock screen.

Winterface now looks whiter as most of the standard icons were replaced by
super stylish winter-like icons. You will be amazed by the cool looks of your
Pocket PC screen.

Some of the bugs were fixed like: it is now impossible to delete Menu and
Running icons of the program, some of the icons are not doubled any more (like
Phone). The bug on HTC devices with battery icon was also fixed.
NOTE! If you need to backup your settings, you only should rename file pages.db
(for example, pages_old.db) in the Winterface folder. Then you should uninstall
the old version of Winterface, rename it back from pages_old.db to pages.db
after that install new version of the program. All other updates that are higher
than version 1.1 won’t need this operation as the program will do it itself.

Winterface is available for $19.95 at
