Hi, all

I have just switched from a PPC 2002 device to a WM2003SE one. Lots of
improvements - but one drawback: the recent programs are shown as full items
in the Start menu, rather than as a row of icons at the top of the menu.

Is there a tweak to make WM2003SE show recent programs as icons?

Cheers

- rick

Not that I know of.

However, if you use your device in Landscape mode, icons will be shown.

Tweak, no. Third party software, yes. Several task manager programs do
this. I use Wisbar (Lite version includes the icons) - paid for. I believe
that Magic Button would work too, and is free.

Magic Button only displays the icons of the currently active processes, not
the history (that is, recent programs).
