Mobility Site - View Single Post - HTC X-Button: Another "X = Close" program...

This is great. I had problems with both Magic Button and vBar. This is so simple and in combination with the switcher bar it does all I want. I put a shortcut for SwitcherBar in my startup file in windows. As far as I can see it is significantly less of a resource hog than vBar (which is not much of a resource hog). When I compare resources before and after instalation of both programs with actual usage. After every trial I soft reset and ran SK-Tools Free Ram multiple times, Memory panel in settings indicated the following (in parentheses indicates the highest result):

My system without any task manager=24.34 (.42) M

vBar 23.32 (.54) M

x-Button 24.20 (.35) M
x-Button with Switcher Bar 24.10 (.28) M

So, it looks like x-Button with Switcher Bar is lighter on system resources than vBar.
