I’ve been sitting on that one for quite some time. It’s still not in a good enough state to be called a beta (or even alpha), hence the technical preview. It comes bundled with one logon (by yours truly ). The included logon is still a work in progress: stock buttons, no custom sound, no loading animation, etc.

What’s missing/not working:

• Logon editor (won’t be in 1.0)
• No check for image format when applying a logon (images in the wrong format will break the logon UI, resulting in a black screen)
• Replacing UIFile files is disabled (considering removing support for it as doing it correctly is a lot of work: simply replacing them might be too dangerous)
• No documentation
• a gazillion little and not so little UI bugs

Installation instructions:

1. Extract zip file to a directory of your choice
2. Run LogonSwitcher.exe
3. Drag&Drop Nature.logonswitcher onto the program window or use the import button
4. Click Apply (and pray)

DISCLAIMER:  As ALWAYS, USE WITH CAUTION. BACKUP/CREATE A RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALL.

TaskManagerEx is a Task Manager add-on I’ve been using for a while. It adds a lot of new functions to the standard task manager. It will allow access to processes modules, opened files and kernel handles lists, as well as memory map & file properties. In addition to those, it also slightly improves the Task Manager UI by adding an icon in front of each running process and by highlighting service processes.

The currently available version runs on Vista but due to changes to the Task Manager, the context menu functionality is broken.

The updated version has the following changes:

• New icons for services, “unknown” processes & main program
• Updated context menu (moved items to a submenu to reduce clutter)
• Removed splash screen & Russian translation
• New image for tooltips
• New toolbar images (WIP)
• Source code cleanup
