Launchy 2.0 Released


Recommended Posts

The font it should use is 'HaxrCorp 4088', witch I dont have, so I used calibri.

I also made the scrollbar of the dropdown to fit the skin better. I'm not sure about the handle of the scrollbar though.

Anyway, here's the result, plus the skin itself.

Oh, I take no credit for the skin itself, as I only migrated it :p

Is there a way to change the font color in the search and for the launchy text to the left of it to white? I opened the INI file but I don't understand the color formats used there like 65x65x65

On a different note...I'm shocked that it's using 14mb right now...

Hmm how hard is it really to go through a start menu? Lazyness at its finest.

I never really saw the appeal of this program until I tried it a few months ago. Now it's one of my favourite programs for XP.

I personally like it for finding files and folders that are deeply buried. For example, if I want to open "report1.doc" that's located in 'My Documents/Work/Projects/2007/December/Reports,' I can just type 'report1' and it opens the file. It doesn't save an enormous amount of time, but it adds up over the course of the day. I find it very efficient, and better than having shortcuts in my taskbar and desktop.

the INI file has no use anymore since it was replaced by the QSS file and the misc.ini.

The colors are either in RGB(65x65x65), in a #xxxxxx format, or just plain text.

Has anyone else experienced greatly varying CPU usage, even when Launchy isn't being used actively? I noticed that my system was getting really slow, and when I looked in the task manager, there was Launchy using constantly changing CPU percentage, everywhere between 0-100%.

However, this worried me:

-Launchy has been completely rewritten with QT

As long at QT does not mean QuickTime, I'm sure it's still a good prog. The memory footprint on my system is 808KB right now. I'll see what I get after the upgrade.

QT is a cross-platform toolkit and library from Trolltech (recently acqired by Nokia). Nothing to do with Quicktime. Opera and Google Earth are two major apps written using QT.

I ike launchy, and use it on my laptop. I'll use it to launch a program like... once every 2 days. The idle memory footprint is pretty good.

How can something be written in quicktime...

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
