looking for a friendly developer

[Guest hobsons choice]

Hi i was wondering if anyone could make a small app that would sit an icon on the title bar, (in all programs) that when started would open up a drop down menu with program shortcuts (icons) that the user could define? I thought it might be helpfu to have immediate access to word, calculator etc....without trawling through menus or using a big footprint plugin/like pocketmagic etc....

any ideas or feedback welcome,

thanks

Doesn't the start menu pretty much do that? Or are you wanting a larger selection? Plug in wise iLauncher isn't massive.

Hi richard, yeah i was hoping to be able to choose a larger amount of apps than the 7 on the start menu, iv'e tried ilauncher but its still the same thing of running through the menus. I like the iauncher today plugin that shows documents as well, so maybe if the app could do that.

So maybe app could have the configurability of the ilauncher today plugin(apps/docs) but but accessed by an icon on the top bar for ease of use in alll running appcations. Hope that makes it a little clearer

With iLauncher you can hold the stylus on the top right of the screen (where the close button usually is) and launch any programme/doc whilst in any running programme.

Sounds like that's what you are after. Apologies if I've misunderstood your request.

Although I don't think you can have icons and there are 2 extra taps (than the start menu) to launch an app. But it seems pretty close to your needs. :rolleyes:

Yeah i think i'm just impatient, as your screen shot shows you need to do 3 clicks, i was thinking just the sngle click would open up the first drop down menu like the ilauncher that says close

close all etc...

but instead would have a list of the apps shortcuts you had configured to be on there, so much simpler i think.

p.s

would anyone else like a simple app like this?
