What is Recent Plus!?

It is a small application that replaces the 'recent apps' dialog that appears when you long-press the home button. It shows the recently opened apps as before but additionally shows a volume slider. See screenshots. Requires СM7.

Why?

As you all know, the nook colour is a wonderful device but it is lacking hardware buttons. A typical and really nice remedy is to install keysmod / Нard-key editor and bind the volume buttons to back and menu. Problem: you can no longer easily change the current volume while in an app, especially when it is running in fullscreen.
It started with this post and I am now moving it here.

Requirements:

* a device running a recent nightly of cyanogenmod 7

Installation:

(0. install the keysmod so you have back/menu instead of the volume buttons)
1. go to 'Settings', 'Сyanogenmod Settings', 'Input', 'long-press home settings': check 'Use custom application' and then choose 'Select custom application', tap 'Applications' (yes, another tap here in that list! This is the first entry), finally select 'Recent Plus!'
2. done. Now you can long press home to switch apps and change the volume
