Re: Two dimensional launcher?

 

Do you mean something like Mac OS' Stacks? http://toastytech.com/guis/osx15stacksfan.png

There is not a lot of place to launch applications from launcher. I don't like that movable (scrolling) launcher to much. And searching for an application is also time consuming. For me is better to have a tool (an application icon) on a fixed, memorized position. Not at an movable scrolling place. If your wife move your hammer 1 meter away from place you you've left it, how many time you need to find it (if you have a lot of tools on a table)?

How about to make 2 dimensional launcher like:

B
B
*B B B B B B B* (configurable second dimension)
B
B
B
B
B
B

(B is button, application icon)

That means to add special button(s) and configure it (drag drop?) to show desired buttons in a row. So we can launch more applications without scroll or search. All desired icons can be 1 move (to show launcher and activate second dimension with just move over special button) + 1 click away. Row is invisible unless it is activated, only special button is visible. So launcher it could be scrollable as it is, plus 2 dimensional.

So the point is that i would like to find a tool on a place where i left it.

I hope it is understandable what i wrote. I am far from perfect in this language.
