Application Launchers Revisited

Seconded deeply... Long time user (began on win 98 se, 12 yrs ago). The biggest wrecking bar would not pry me off my PowerPro, even now that I'm migrating to Win 7 (it will have to work on 64-Bit!)! So tiny but so powerfull...

PowerPro seems to be very powerful, but can I create application-'class' icons, so that hovering over then or clicking on them brings up a group of apps belonging to that class (e.g., a Photography icon that brings-up shorcuts to all of my photography-related apps)?

Also, does PowerPro require .NET Framework (and if so, which one)?

Thanks,
Aaron

 

Yes it can easily be done. In my minimalistic retractable sample bar, hovering the button called "Players", for example, make us see those 3 items in their black surrounding: (1rst corresponding to yr mouse's left click, 2nd to middle and 3rd to right)

So by middle clicking there, we have now this list of clickable items (corresponding to my own build-in list of installed media "players":


And no!
No need for any dotNET stinky...

 

Ok, I'll give PowerPro a good look this weekend (as well as True Launch Bar).

Thanks!

 

I use nrLaunch... Japanese software that was discontinued a few years ago and translated to english by a third party. ~50 skins included.

Code:

(hmm, I'd been curious to know if Aaron did well with them there, and what was his final choice...)

 

Sorry, but I had a few unexpected situations that came up last weekend which kept me busy and this weekend I'm studying for the written driver's test as my license needs to be renewed tomorrow (I can't remember when I last had to do a written exam)!

....so deciding on a new app-launcher will have to wait another week.
