[ANN] Lnchr - a Treo launcher

[SergioA]

Hi there!

I really hope development is not halted, love the app so much, my favorite on the Treo 680; but now I've upgraded to a brand new Centro (the black one, GSM unlocked) and unfortunately it seems that even last release 1.5.2 can't succeed in registering as the default launcher (it is working on the Sprint Treo, but not on the GSM unlocked - European version); I've mailed the author, but still no answer...

Ciao from Italy!

So...is it still being developed?

I tried it out a while back, and there were a couple things that I would like to mention to you. Let me try out 1.53 and get back to you.

EDIT: Here's my list of comments:

- Can the highlighting be like the system launcher and use the color theme?
- Is there any way to get to the categories using the 5-way? Once you scroll through the apps, there's no way to get back to the categories list.
- Can we have scrollbars?
- Could there be a new menu that has has the features of the system launcher (Delete, Beam, Send, Category, Info, Copy) even if they are just shortcuts?
- Could the wallpaper extend all the way to the top (as an option in Preferences)?

Two fixes that would be nice:

You have to re-cache custom icons after every reset.
Also it would be more convenient if you could Categorize apps in TreoLauncher, rather than having to exit to the system launcher to do so.

Great launcher btw!  Love the small footprint.

So I guess no one knows if development continues on this launcher?

He definitely accepts feedback and if he gets enough he'll probably do an update. But for now, I don't think he is doing further work

Well, the developer still accepts payment and still sends out registration codes, which is good enough for me.

I happily paid him for TreoLauncher last week.
