Re: What if...

Hi everybody,
similar to fanofdatreo, I would like to do most of the thing related to app
starting in TW. So I started to put all the apps I have (>100) on wheels, sorted
in groups as in a regular launcher. Even though I can leave out a few apps,
first of all not every fit, especially not every category has a multiple of 12
members. Secondly with 8 wheels in use much of the beauty of TW, the quick
access, became blurred, since I hade to switch wheels a lot (even with different
hardware buttons to launch different wheels). One problem with this is brain
overload, since I remember most apps by name, but icons are often rather
similar. So I don't find what I look for (since the icons are not named, I have
to rotate a lot).
So at most I would like to juggle with about 4 wheels (2 for the most common
apps, one with shark links and one for history). For the rest I will be going
back to standard launcher (ZLauncher).
In any case that is probably ok, since to reproduce all functionality of e.g.
ZLauncher (Explorer, Popup menu w/ info, delete, send, move and copy, a trash
bin to undelete...) is going to exceed the possibilities of a resident program
like TW.

Having this said, I still have some thoughts about a QuickFind, but to keep this
post short, I start a new topic for this.
Cheers

Volker

whatever you have set as your default. How 'bout making it TW and then you
could also have the option of setting up a wallpaper or background (below the
wheel)?

I know Tex will probably respond to this, however I thought I should provide a user's perspective on TealWheel. I do consider TealWheel to be a full-fledged...

When I look back on what I wrote it looks like I got a little too long winded and preached too much. Sorry about that!! I absolutely remeber your involvement...

Ummm, as an outsider reading along.. I think you guys (Emmett and Fanof) are saying the same thing. I'm not sure where the disconnect happened, but I think...

Hi. Interesting idea. First, some background: Being the "default" launcher is a bit of a confusing subject. On some devices and in certain contexts, PalmOS...

That sounds great, Tex. Thanks! I look forward to seeing what a preselected image (as a "background") would look like. And thanks for posting the PSD file,...
