Hi. Is there an alternative for the Windows 8 Task Manager that get's destroyed by activating Classic Theme? I really like it and don't want to lose it. Does someone know if DBCTaskman works and how I can change it to the main Task Manager? Or is there another Task Manager that's similar to it?

I seem to remember hearing that the reason Win8's Task Manager doesn't work with the classic theme is because some of its UI isn't properly styled for it. If that's the case, that may theoretically be fixable, but would require some work.

I've investigated this before, but was never able to get it to work. I'll be sure to update here if that ever changes.
