Of course, leave it to the jailbreak community to actually make good use of this wasted space. That's exactly what SuperSwitcher aims to do, and as you'll see inside, it does it quite well...

Sometimes, the simplest things in life are the best things in life. Take cookies for example; they're not complex, in fact, they're just batter and chocolate chips; but for a cookie lover, they're oh so delightful.
