tablaunch Application Launch Bar
Over the last few days I've been testing different application launchers under Openbox. It's funny, but I was managing just fine without an application launcher until I started playing, now I'm hooked. I've experimented with a few different applications and I've finally found one that I'm really happy with, tablaunch.
tablaunch is an application launch bar that sits at the top of my screen and displays user defined applications as tabs. What I really love about tablaunch is how it neatly hides itself away when I'm not using it — providing a clean unobtrusive way to quickly launch my favourite applications. Watch this short video of tablaunch in action.
tablaunch can be configured to display both icons and text, but personally I prefer to use the "text only" option. It can also be set-up, via the command line, to display a variety of mouse-over effects etc. I've uploaded a copy of tablaunch to the CrunchBang Linux repository and I 've also written a wiki page, "tablaunch Application Launch Bar" for anyone interested in giving it a try.
