its basicly an alt tab program, its like the vista alt tab on pc where it shows an actual preview image of all the open programs, if you click on the image it switches to the desired open program.
has anyone got anything simular to this app?
or...
would anyone be willing to make an app alost exactly like this?
(wm6.1 wvga)
Thanks!

Two other alternatives
Two other alternatives to this program are;
3D ALT TAB -=[ not running on my PPC anymore ]=-
and
wkTASK -=[ running on my PPC, activated via hardware button ]=-
wkTASK shares features of both Task Manager and Program Launcher for Windows Mobile 5/6. You can switch all running programs smoothly like desktop Windows, and launch applications easily.
Features
* Task-list
Using the upper bar, you can watch, switch, close and force termination running programs.
To exclude a task from the list, tap&hold it and select 'Hide'.
* X button
Using the X button, you can use some actions as follows:
o Tap: really close
o Tap&Hold: show context menu
o Drag: some gestures (To minimize, drag toward down. To show Today, drag toward left.)
* Program Launcher
Using key or tap, You can launch some applications, functions and contacts(phone call or e-mail).
* Key operation
To shift the Key operation mode, double-execute WkTask.exe or WkTaskCmd.exe(recommended because of smaller size). Some start options are available too.
* Brightness/Volume controller
You can control them in real time with key or tap.
* Other functions
rotation, suspend, reboot, network connection, etc.
* Preferences
To customize, it has a great deal of parameters. Enjoy your self!

With both these applications why the need to develop another task switcher??!
Hope this helps,

plain Alt-Tabing, with no bells or whistles, can be done with LMT Launcher:
LMT is a tool for the HD2 that launches a program when perform single touch or multitouch gestures on the screen. You can connect internal commands and external apps to any gesture LMT supports.
Commands
* “CloseLMT” -> close LMT
* “CloseApp” -> close the foreground app
* “Learn” -> activate learn mode
* “Back” -> send back key
* “Start” -> start menu
* “Lock” -> lock phone
* “Phone” -> start Phone app
* “Up” -> send Dpad up
* “Down” -> send Dpad down
* “Left” -> send Dpad left
* “Right” -> send Dpad right
* “PrevApp” -> switch to previous app (Alt-Tab feature)
* “NextApp” -> switch to next app (Alt-Tab feature)
* “Home” -> switch to Homescreen
* “Rotate” -> rotate screen
* “Controller” -> activate the controller mode

i already have wktask, which is a brilliant app but i made my topbar transparent and unfortunatly wktask does not support transparency so wktask stands out and looks dodgy :/
which is why im looking for a new app for alt-tab - i turned all the other features it has off, i only used it for the topbar icons for alt-tab
the 3d-alt-tab app looks like it may be what im looking for, ive downloaded it and i will test it later, ill post back with feedback.. hopefully its exactly what im looking for

RE: Feedback
*LMT did not work with my blackstone, guess its just for hd2..
*3D Alt-Tab works but not properly.. slightly buggy also its not what i wanted :/
cheers though dude's, muchly appreciated
iv searched xda for alt tab but not found anything else, (actually i found alttab.exe but not at all what im hoping for) i guess its now down to development.
ill make a picture and upload soon, basicly to show what im hoping for, or just to give ideas, no point in writing lots of crap talking sh*t when a picture is a thousand words
* it will be mainly based on the idea of miniflow and the vista alt-tab.
if anyone wants to develop please feel free, just let me know, maybe i can help somehow

(apart from the ones mentioned) there are no other decent alt-tab apps avaliable so ive made a picture of one just for an idea.
hopefully someone will pick up on this and develop it for us WM geeks
this is basicly what im looking for, if its not avaliable then i guess its an idea
the basic layout for the alt tab app i want, eg:
*swipe gestures, left or right to change to which app you want.. obviously lol, but with no animations so its faster and wont rape my ram
*swipe down to open the desired app, so it simply opens the app but again with no animations.
*swipe up to cancel and exit, maybe add an animation on exit.
???

Totally not alt tab, though oh so powerfull when used under a hardware button!
I've got to mention dotFred's Task Manager; http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
This program runs as a SERViCE !!! Activated on my device via double click on a hardware button.
A few pictures say more than 1,000 words..

For obvious reasons I'm holding on to wkTask and dotFred's TaskManager
Have fun,
