|
 |
I need a bit of advice.. My son has tons of little games installed on his computer - he loves breakout clones,tetris and the usual platforms kids love..
His desktop looks like the icons have been on a breeding spree, so I need a handy little app that will enable him to launch his games a lot easier.. something to save him searching the deskop icons or trawling through the start menu..
Now I know there are loads out there.. but i'd like one thats easy to add games/apps to.. has seperate menus/areas for game,apps,music progs etc.. also if it looks colouful and snazzy thats a bonus.
So any of you people here know of such an app? thanks in advance

I use "Y'Z Dock".. it used to be a freeware app but apple sent the developer a C&D.. Since it has been recalled and it is illegal to host the file.. If you google around you can find it though..

I'm looking for a new application launcher, I'd like something that activates on middle mouse button press and provides a list of applications near the mouse cursor. There was a launcher called "orbit" which was cool, but it was very buggy and hadn't been updated in over a year.
Any thoughts?

Why not just line your icons up on the side of the screen?

*bump*
uhm, quick question. rocketdock has multi-monitor support, but just on either monitor or one huge bar that crosses each.
is there a way to have 2 independent rocketdocks on each monitor?

2 instances of the application set to the different positions? Maybe creating 2 directories would allow multiple instances to have separate configurations..

if you find one like that let me know. I like the idea of icons showing up around the mouse cursor if button is pushed |
