Information
|
X-Launch is a GTK based Run dialog that mirrors the features of Windows Run dialog and then some.
It has a double fork()'ing mechanism and intelligent history for luanching applications in their in their own process.
X-Launch has full skinning support and animations to let you know when a slow application is launching.
X-Launch not only looks better then any other Run dialog, but is more powerful and faster then most.
It will manage it's own hotkey, so you don't have to have a window manager that supports hotkeys and it doesn't have to launch every time you want to launch an application.
For those of you out there that are avid keyboard users, especially for launching applications,
then this program is for you.
Read the Readme for more information.
