ThrottleLauncher 0.9.1 Beta (Freeware)
Requirements: WM 5.0, WM 6.0, WM 6.1; NET.CF 2.0 (3.5 strongly recomended); 200 Mhz CPU recomended. (The higer the better ); SD instalation is supported but installing to device will make it work faster; 800 KB free space; QVGA display; most VGA devices should be supported too
Overview: ThrottleLauncher is a launcher app designed for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 in c# and c++. Basically it consist's of several pages containing rows. Each of the rows depending of it contents can be scrolled horizontally by using the finger. The app is fully configurable through xml files so the rest of the features depends on the diferent setups. By installing the 0.9.1 Beta the ThrottleLauncher will look like the new HTC Touch Diamond TouchFlo3D -> Manila UI . It is no 100% Manila-copy but it is a fast working Manila look-alike for QVGA devices.


The rows can contain several type of items:
* icons: can execute any program or link.
* clock: analog clock.
* text: can be updated periodically and can contain dinamic dates or registry values.
* photo dialer: you can place contacts with asociated photos on a row.
* running and recent apps: all running and recent apps can be shown inside a row.
Main features:
* Kinetic scrolling
* Fully configurable
* Skin support

Changelog 0.9.1 Beta
* TouchFlo 3D alike setup.
* Scrollingmode attribute for the row (deprecates scrollenabled and pagedscrolling). Can have one of the following values:
* Kinetic: classic
* Direct: scrolling like the touchflo 3d footer. See below for details.
* Paged: paged scrolling
* None: will disable scrolling
* Auto: will slide automatically. Under development. Kuifjes request.
* For the direct scrolling, if used on the footer, it will show a big picture of the icon selected on the footer only if a picture file exists with the same name but with the _big sufix. For example if we have an icon at the button who's picture name is home.png, the icon showed full sized will be home_big.png. This is only valid for the footer. Although direct scrolling can be used on any row.
* New row attribute called alignment (see comm page of tf3d setup for an example). Will make icons align to the target. May have one of the following values:
* Left
* Middle (this is the default value to keep back compatibility)
* Right
More skins for ThrottleLauncher are available on the developers homepage.

I was searching for a TouchFlo 3D-like software and think -for now- this is an acceptable one
Ok it's not half as great as HTCs Manila. But it's free and runs on 200 MHZ devices^^

If there's anything wrong in the Release-text let me know, it's my first one
Have fun with it.

deosnt work on vga. well didnt work on my athena in any dip. maybe update requirements to qvga?

I think it has just qvga skins/icons... I'll update it, thanks
There is no special vga version available on the devs homepage, sorry.
But you could try the "real" Manila beta -> Manila
It just runs on VGA devices... but backup before install

Mar'Cel, please reformat your requirements into sentence format (rather than bullet) and afterwards remove the space between requirements and overview.

Just to let you know this is also working on VGA devices... I know because I'm a part of the beta tester team and have made some of the images.

This is freeware so I sugest going to the Autors page and download so he can keep track of downloads and his is verry suporting in his forum.
