Despite the name, MortButtons is NOT a tool to assign applications to buttons, like BtnPlus, VITO ButtonMapper, PowerButton, and similar tools.
Instead, it allows to create multiple small menus, which can be used with just one button. It also offers a menu that consists of all currently running applications, thus enabling a quick and easy task switching like Alt-Tab in Windows. These menus can be assinged to your buttons with either the systems settings or any tool you use. Features:
- Every application button can be used (up to 5 diferent menus).
- No problems with games or other apps using the buttons - works fine in combination with BtnPlus, ButtonMapper, and similar tools.
- Task List: Lets you switch easily to one of the running applications.
- Minimize, close, close all, and close all but current application.
- Selection with multiple presses of just one button possible.
- It's also possible to select an entry with the direction pad or by tapping it.
- Select the applications or documents to start from start menu or the complete file system.
- Document starts (opened with the assigned application) are supported.
- Create new documents ("New" menu entries) with application buttons.
- Use own menus or entire directories as submenus.
- Activation of Today screen and already existing windows (i.e. the app's only activated when running, no start by accident!).
- Skin support with overrideable font and color settings.
- Display style (background, skin, ...) and timeout settings can be set for each main menu.
- Own icons can be used for menu entries.
- Supports WM2003 SE: VGA, landscape, rotation - by entries or when a program is launched. A manual, alternative Skins, and some other informations can be found here. Note:
When updating, be aware that Windows Mobile 5 - in spite to its predecessors - always uninstalls the previous version. Because of this, you have to backup the menu informations when you update from a version lower than v2.4b2. To do this, copy Button1.mbi to Button5.mbi, as well as the folder "Submenus" (though the latter should remain untouched). Starting with V2.4b2, these files are backed up automatically when you choose to keep the settings during deinstallation, and restored after installation (if you install to the same directory - otherwise the backup will not be found). Nevertheless, a backup can never harm even with those newer versions...
