Too many icons in desktop will block your beautiful wallpaper and make your desktop looked messy.

My little contribution to make your desktop clean and launch your application fast and easy.... smile.gif

Received good comments from many oversea software reviewers, Malaysia boleh!

Skinable, portable, customizable...... Hope you enjoy using 8start Launcher....

Thanks for your comment, I will make it better. biggrin.gif

Due to the limitation of the programing technique which I know, it may hard to show the large icon size ( size which is not the standard 16x16 or 32x32 pixel) at this moment.

Anywhere, will try to improve in other area...

metalfreak
Hey its a cool program.

As you know....not all programs are bug or error free. It would be good if those who encountered problem explain to Andy HOW the error occurs like when you click or add stuff.


Andy..good job bro. Good luck in creating new versions.

awesome job =)
