Description:
FingerSuite replaces standard menu and message box for Windows Mobile devices. The resulting menus and alert boxes are much more attractive and also easier to use with your finger.
The improvements are already implemented in HTC's new TouchFlo3D 2, but will of course not come to our older device.
Usage:
- Configure autostart, skins and applications with the new control panel applet.
- If fingermenu or fingermsgbox are visible, tap on left softkey to access service menu (see video demo below).
- Slide right to left anywhere to go to parent menu. Last slide minimizes fingermenu.
These are video demonstrations of the application:
v1.09
v1.11
v1.12
Tested only on QVGA devices, but it seems to work well also under WQVGA/VGA/WVGA emulated device.
Todo:
- New application: FingerNotification similar to topaz notification manager (70% done).
Known bugs:
- Not working on WM 5.0.
Installation:
- If you've just installed older version, I strongly recommend you to uninstall and SOFTRESET device before installing new version.
- Installation on device is mandatory (if you need more space, delete *_vga.png on QVGA device or *_qvga.png on VGA device from installation folder).
