Best Launcher for wm5?

What is the best launcher? I've used SPB plus and liked it, but I grew bored of the backgrounds they offered. I don't mind paying for a great launcher app. I wouldn't mind one that I could use with my fingers - if it had large enough tabs, for example, and large enough icons.

What are your favorites?

Thanks!

iLauncher here too. SBSH is one of the best software companies I've come across. SUPER customer support and frequent updates to add requested features.

Ok, iLauncher. I'll try the trial. There are so many settings. Does anyone have any recommended settings and recommended cool skins?

There are what seems like endless settings, but once you play with it a while, you will be able to get things set the way you like for your personal tastes.

Below is my Today screen with iLauncher used much like the system tray on a PC (I like minimal space wasted, while having maximum apps just a click away. All of the icons at the bottom, with the exception of BT and wireless at the far right, have been set up using iLauncher. Makes it real quick and easy to run all of my most used apps while still showing my Today screen with PocketBreeze in control of it.



No, I don't work for SBSH, I just love their software.

Thanks Rad! Don't worry about the phone numbers, I've been doing surveillance on you for the last few months anyway:)

Btw, where does the ini file go? does it go in the windows folder somewhere?
