Aahh.. I too wanted to add the hp42 calculator and it couldn't be ticked (as reported by Clay above).

Re: simple launcher -- one click launcher for your applications :)
 

This works fine on my n800 with latest firmware, although I have one major issue with the usablity of it.

The toolbar doesn't seem to be fully resizable in "edit layout" mode, you can just make it shorter or longer, but this just makes the shortcuts tiny.

What would be your proposal? :)

Re: simple launcher -- one click launcher for your applications :)
 

Hi Misha,

I think Adam is proposing to be able to expand it heightwise and allow more rows as well.

So theoretically, if your applet was the only applet used, and expanded fully, with transparent background, then it would be as if putting shortcuts on the desktop!

Thanks allot for this applet. Great addition to my IT

It was a rough day dealing with inconsistent input from various sources at work. After chasing false leads for 9 hrs the solution was simple and was my first instinct in the first hour anyway... before all the "helpful" input.

I must have transferred my angst to my post.
Again, my humble apologies. :o

In any event MishaS has corrected most of these bugs in a new release >> https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=131

Since he has also opened a new thread for problems >> http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=5511

I figured we could continue to use this thread for praise and other insights. :cool:

Did I say WOW! The new release adds support for much more and things like "Connection Manager" and "Bookmarks" can now be launched from the app.

It occured to me that we now have no need at all for the Maemo launcher with the globe, two dudes, and the files icons.

I wonder how hard it would be to hack this out and reclaim the screen real estate?

Hi YoDude,

Yeah, I was thinking, if he made the software have a transparent background, and be able to scale the applet so that it could expand width AND heightwise so that more icons (more rows, more colums), then it could possibly be like on a PC desktop where we had shortcuts to most of the needed apps.

Re: simple launcher -- one click launcher for your applications :)
 

ok i have a dumb question , by making it transparent does that mean the white bix wont be there , just the icons basically?

Re: simple launcher -- one click launcher for your applications :)
 

Hi Munky261,

Yup, just the icons would appear. The background would be whatever you have on your desktop's background. Something like your PC's Windows Desktop....

Re: simple launcher -- one click launcher for your applications :)
 

that is what we would want re transparent. but the launcher is a row of buttons. and these buttons have a system size and system colour I believe. so to make it how we want might be hard to do http://maxthon.cafedeux.com/smilies/unhappy.gif
but I hope the Simple Launcher developer can figure it out http://maxthon.cafedeux.com/smilies/smile.gif
