New Animated Task Manager - Dynamo
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "SOFTWARE" @ 12:00 AM
Now this looks pretty cool. Zkmus found a program by Aspecto Software, called Dynamo. It's an animated task switcher which displays screenshots of all running applications and looks very similar to Mac OS X's Expose feature. Note, for space reasons, the image below is a screenshot of the 600k animated GIF image you can find at the download page. If you've got the bandwidth, it's well worth checking out to see how this works.
"Bring your PDA to life with Dynamo - the first animated task manager for Pocket PC which displays screenshots of all running applications. Click the activation button from any window and Dynamo slides images of all the running applications onto the screen. You can then easily select the one you want to switch to by clicking its image, and it zooms to fill the screen. You can also close applications from within Dynamo and watch as the remaining windows dynamically reposition themselves to fill the gap."
Note you'll need the .NET Compact Framework for this to work. If you're interested, you can get a free trial or buy it at Handango. [Affiliate]
