Description:
Dynamo 2 is a cool, animated task manager for your Pocket PC 2003 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Dynamo can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.
Dynamo also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.
As well as just looking generally cooler, Dynamo 2 offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.
New features include:
- Application titles now displayed when stylus moved over image.
- Selected application now highlighted in Dynamo.
- Fully controllable using the PDA cursor pad.
- Close icon at the corner of every application... no more awkward holding buttons to close programs.
- Ability to change stored image quality to save memory.
- Quickly alterable appearance using themes.
- Far more customizable with many appearance settings.
- Ability to create your own themes.
- Runs on VGA PDAs.
- Option to change snapshot update rate - can stop jerkiness when playing games or movies.
- Animation speed improvements.
- Various bug fixes including closing programs, remapping hotkey and detecting running programs.

How should I run this file? Tried to install it... and not it asks me for compact framework 3.0... and tried to run it, no changes. Should I use any hardware buttons that I don't have clue?

Nice looking, but unstable under WM5.

Whoa! If you use a lot of programs at one time, this is your huckleberry. Turn off the animation before you load it on one of these machines though.

Great program!!! That is what i looking for allmost 3 year. For that people who want to use stylus instead of hardware button... you realy not need this program... because if you have opened 6 programs, need to close all of them to open today screen and then tap dynamo :) Only one thing.. when is only one application runing (today screen), you don't need dynamo, so make something on hardvare key like:
If runningApps<2 then goto NoApp
run Dynamo
NoApp:
Thanks man for this program.

I have a PPC phone. I don't have the luxury of many hardware buttons. I agree with the other guy. It needs a stylus based button.

Excellent program but badly needs a today screen launcher instead of hardware button mapping only.

Cool idea but lacks in functionality. Needs a "close all programs and close all but current programs button" too bad.. slick look but too much memory just for that.

This thing is amazing. It does the same thing as the switcher bar or the Vbar, but the animated screens of each program add a nice touch of beauty. This program is soooo cool and uses up very little resources.

This application is amazing. I didn't think it would work as well as it does... but it is great. You should download it ASAP.

This is the most amazing program I have ever used. I've always been envious of the apps that Macs have, but finially some similar and innovative for PocketPC, great job!!!
