Since I noticed this software I am testing it and it works great. It is a taskmanager, yes, yet another one:)




As you can see in the above how you can use the taskmanager. Except for being a taskmanager it can also show the battery level (in %) or free memory (in %) in the topbar, time (local, Zodiac or GMT (OR not AND))

It works on WM2003SE and WM5.0 VGA and QVGA/landscape, and use a small amount of memory.
And best of all it is free

That looks pretty sweet, I've been looking for an alternative to MagicButton for a while, and I've tried all the rest (tMan, vBar, inClose and many others) so I'll give this a try. At 50k the executable is smaller than Magicbutton (~70k) and looks to have more features...

Thanks for the heads up!

I spent the last couple days trying to find the best task manager with the smallest memory footprint, and this one is definitely near the top of the list. I like the battery bar (used to magic button's), and the configurable option of what you want to display under the time on the top bar.

There's a new 1.3 version floating around in that xda-developers thread.
