I miss switcher

I used to own an x51v and recently side graded to an xv6700. One of the applications I used on a regular basis was Switcher Bar. I've tried magic button, vbar, etc but none are as great as the simple little app i used to know and love.

I've searched for an hour and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know where I can download this application for my apache? :)

Try Magic Button for Pocket PC, it does the same thing and much more. Its also free at TranCreative Software - Best productivity and education software for Pocket PC

Haha I did try magic button, but like I said I am very fond of Switcherbar.

I'll keep searching. Thanks for the replies guys!

I tried MagicButton, vBar, SwitcherBar, WisBar, PocketPlus, and iLauncher and like iLauncher best.

Yep, ditto here- tried lots of them and iLauncher is best IMO.

I too used/liked Switcher on my X5/X51V.

I'm now liken the built-in task manager inside Resco File Explorer, so much that I mapped a softkey to it.

You know I;m going to try and get Switcher onto my Apache. I really liked it so this would totally be worth it. I'll report back with my results.

UPDATE:
I got switcherbar working ! All i needed was the EXE from my brother's x51. I dropped it into the Windows folder and created two .lnk files. It now works perfectly!

Would you mind being a little more specific about how you got that to work? I was using an x50, but now have an ipaq and wanted something as simple and easy as switcher bar. However, I tried copying the switcherbar.exe from my axim to my desktop to my ipaq and I keep getting an error message that I can't copy it to my ipaq.

Can you post up the files and some nice instructions please.

I miss Switcher as well. :(

The good thing about Switcher was being able to get into the Power and Brightness settings very quickly, whilst also being able to change from 1 open program to another quickly as well!

I'd like as well. I upgraded to WM6 and it lost the Switcher Bar. I'd love to have that back as well. Very simple and always right there.
