Nah. VJSihaya has been functional in it's "raw" state for some years, but there were a couple of low level graphical hacks that I wanted to implement, that unfortunately took me about that long to grow the cajones to deal with. I finally sorted those out, and so VJSihaya can do some great things now, but I'm now waiting on a proper 6.5 rom and hardware to test on.

Because of the way the app intercepts the OS at a low level, and because of the way 6.5 and 6.5.1 adjust the OS structure that had previously remained static from "PocketPC" all the way to "Windows Mobile", I need to retest and rewrite quite a few things to ensure it's compatible.

Apologies. But I will start posting more details shortly.

@khrizdiel: apologies, but no prerelease versions yet Sad

My current delay and quandaries (other than the 6.5+ compatibility) is whether there is any demand for this product any more. As I've said on XDA Devs, using this app requires fine control - I recommend downloading the above screenshot to your phone and viewing it full screen, as a mockup, to see if you could drag the windows and resize by the border (it allows resizing from any window border).
I'm fine with pixel accurate dragging with my stylus, but this is not finger friendly yet.

Ok, so as a result of that, the interface doesn't make much sense on a QVGA device. Some time back, I ran a "contest" for alpha testers for the app, and one of those guys posted screenshots from a QVGA device. It DOES work perfectly fine on QVGA, but it's kinda pointless - the relative amount of space taken up by my replacement interface negates the benefit of having multiple windows available. (ie, imagine having two windows next to each other at QVGA - horrible, and actually counter productive) At higher than QVGA resolutions it becomes very usable (as in my screenshot, from the Blackstone).

So, yes, it supports QVGA, but looks ugly!

Note however, that during development, I did come up with aspects of VJSihaya that will make using QVGA much more pleasurable. Details soon!

PS Happy birthday!
