LiteSwitch X follows the tradition of LiteSwitch as a simple solution for managing open applications using the keyboard. Like its predecessor which will continue to be available, LiteSwitch X has a clean, simpleand functional style that has become Proteron's hallmark.

It features an aquified transparent, resizeable window which is invoked by aconfigurable key-combination (default is Apple-Tab).

From the pop-up window the user can switch to any application, hide, quit, or force quit any application or drag-and-drop files onto any application.

Limitations:
30 day trial.

What's New:
First public Universal Binary release
updated the LS logo image in the LS prefpane & readme
changed LS to allow autokey during a drag (I think this bug was introduced after the last release)
changed color of light bulb to blue-purple since before it was too direct of a copy of the Energy Saver prefpane
new icon for prefpane since it's what the user now sees: a generic prefpane + liteswitch badge
added PathFinder support (Cocoatech's PathFinder is used instead of the Finder if it is running)
updated short readme and docs (new info, old info removed, better consistency, spelling errors fixed)
opening the prefpane now checks for an old version of the background app and relaunches it if different than expected --> allows for double-click prefpane installs
Minor performance and interface improvements.
