If all the innovations of the program is only to change the graphical representation of the elements, they would be insufficient for the general popularity of the package.One of the main features of the utility is to confer additional functions the main program and controls the communicator.
By default, the Windows Mobile operating system button «Close» does not close the application, but only turns it into the tray. Such a function is justified for most frequently used applications and significantly increases the speed of response. System do not need every time again to start the program, simply restore it from a minimized state. However, this solution has its downside. When you run a large number of programs, they begin to occupy too much space in system memory, which is especially critical for the devices of previous years of release, in which the volume of this memory does not exceed 32 MB. In this case the effect is the exact opposite - instead of a quick opening has to wait a few minutes running the utility. Settings button «Close» provide the most flexible approach to solving this problem. From point «Menu» selected items that are included when you click «Close». Then in the window «Button» customize the behavior of the button when pressed once, hold or stroke.In the last window you can specify a program, an exception which will be minimized to tray instead of closing.

Impressions and Conclusions

He is a designer, from which we can build a representation of information on your device, based on their needs and taste. Configured almost everything, and the interface is intuitive and visually very simple. But behind this simplicity conceals enormous opportunities. At some point in time you catch yourself thinking that messing with the settings of the program simply fun. And when the program is fully configured, it appears that its use eliminates many extra utilities. In this case, attention is drawn to the price of the program, especially for users from Russia and CIS countries. In terms of price / performance in its class it is almost without equal.A fully-functional version for testing is provided by SPB Software.
