Circuitous, a custom app switch for the iPhone by Dan Zimmerman, has been updated to v1.2 and makings improvements to its GUI and animation

Circuitous is a custom app switcher. It shows your open applications in a nice dock on the right side of the screen where you can launch and exit apps from there. Also, you can cycle through your open apps. With this I mean the apps you have open, in the order you opened them, are cycled. They open the next app in line. There is forward and backward cycling in this version! All three of these features, the dock, cycling forward, and cycling backward are all managed by Activator methods within the settings app.

What's New In This Version:
- More options of animation and placement
- Better sliding out GUI for quitting an app, now you actually slide the icon out
- Icons snap to place after you've rearranged them
- The (x) on icons is much easier to tap
- Option to turn off Dimmed screen, on dimmed screen slide up to quit the app slide down to background top app, slide left to cycle left and slide right to cycle right

After installing, load the settings app and configure your preferred dock activation method.

The application can be installed free from the Tweaks section of Cydia.
