can tint2 have an application launcher?

hello #! community!

i would like to add an application launcher (similar to quick launch from windows) in my tint2.  im thinking something like this.

|| application-launcher || virtual desktop 1 || virtual desktop 2 || system tray || clock/date ||

the application launcher is similar size with the system tray and clock/date to balance the design

the virtual desktop 1 is bigger that virtual desktop 2 but all can be the same size

in virtual desktop 2 there will be one or two virtualbox process running thats why its smaller

TIA

Re: can tint2 have an application launcher?

as i understand it, you would like to have an integral app launcher within the tint2 ?
i have no idea about that, but why not use an external lightweight launcher like wbar instead ?
or, you could use lxpanel instead of tint2, as lxpanel supports launchers.
just my two cents. does anyone else have a better idea ?
