Handy Launcher and Handy Menu requests.

joelw135 · 07-25-04, 07:56 PM

Now that my trio of DinarSoft products are working great I see some need for a few tweaks. I think that other users would like this idea. Of course I don't know if the developer can provide what I need. Here goes!

1. Transparency of both HandyMenu and HandyLauncher, this way it will look like the start menu on the PPC. I would like to have the applications to use my TodayTheme.

2. If that is not possible I would like to be able to change the background and text color in HandyLauncher as in HandyMenu.

3. I would like to be able to add an additional application of my choice to HandyMenu.

4.. I would like to have HandyMenu load before HandyLauncher.

Are these ideas possible, I hope so. Thanks for the great service, I havent had such fast Tech. support as you provide ever before.

HandyLauncher and HandySwitcher will support colors very very soon.
Having bitmaps (your own or from the theme) is something we have already in our to do list.

We discussed this option long time ago and decided to leave this functionality to HandyLauncher cause it will bring complixty to HandyMenu's code (which means a bigger apllication).

Any particular reason why you want this ?

It mite sound strange to you, but I am right handed, and many right handed people have eyes that look first to the right item in a line. which in my case is handy launcher. I use handy Menu a lot and prefer it on the right. I know it sounds weired, but that is what I prefer.

Interesting idea. In my case, using the compact display, I'd simply prefer to have the option of moving HandyLauncher to the right, and keep HandySwitcher on the left. This might be an option to consider for HandySwitcher, since the positions of the two other apps seem to be hard-coded.

Make sense,
We’ll try to add this to the next version of MemMaid then.

I wanted to let you know that I've been using HandySwitcher for about 2 weeks now, and I like it so much better that O1's PowerTask. Thanks again for a great app! :approve:
