vBar is based on the excellent Task Manager WIS Bar version 1.0.4, originally by WIS at http://www.walkers.ne.jp/.
My initial intention is to create something that works with Pocket PC 2002 specific feature such as notification. But somehow it turns out like this. I feel that vBar is quite useful as the way it is right now. After everything that is unnecessary is squeezed out, vBar turns out to be the smallest in the world! Wow! In fact, because it consumes so little resource, vBar is also the fastest! So I decided to share it on the web, of course, for free.
vBar certainly has a different flavor than the original WIS Bar. If you need Close and Task Switching in Pocket PC 2002 and still want to keep all of the original Pocket PC 2002 capabilities such as Notification, etc without suffering any performance slowdown, then vBar is for you.
Update Description:
v2.2:
- With yet another major contribution from Jonathan Misurda, vBar now supports Windows Mobile 5 QVGA & VGA icons automatically.
- Fix task list overlapping in Windows Mobile 5 QVGA.
- Provide Tap & Hold option for CLOSE. The default behavior is still CLOSE, not MINIMIZE.
- Battery indicator now looks a bit like battery for easier recognization.
v2.1:
- Include VGA icon for Close.
v2.0:
- Added VGA and Dynamic Landscape Support. This is made possible by Jonathan Misurda.
- Enable Pocket PC Phone Edition Phone application CLOSE support. vBar will minimize it.
- Enable Battery and Memory Indicator by default.
- Starting version 2.0, vBar will support ARM CPU only. All Pocket PC 2002 or later uses ARM processor. MIPS and SH3 support are included in the setup package but the version remains 1.7.
