PowerBtn 2.0
Last updated: Aug. 25, 08

Got a worn out power button? Well here's your solution!
With PowerBtn, you can effortlessly remap one of your 4 main hard buttons into a new power button or even turn the program itself into a power button. Hard buttons 1 to 4 are the 4 main hard buttons on your device, from left to right.
PowerBtn is a complete power button replacement utility, including preference panel integration and even offering a hard reset solution*. The hard reset option is handy, especially if your power button is broken, thus making the standard method of hard reset impossible.
Now, in version 2.0, PowerBtn can also manage your auto-off settings. You can set the global auto-off time (setting it to "0" disables auto-off globally), select specific applications to disable the auto-off in, and best of all, have the option to disable the auto-off while connected to a network.
