EhEh Red.. Litestep does look good. That page has some very good examples of litestep's great looks.
But it's too hard to configure (even for me, a former bb4win user ;) ).
Still, definatelly worth mentioning! (and thanks by the screenshots, i'll keep them for when i feel the urge to change shells again ;) )

I've been using PS Soft's Hot Launch (http://www.pssoftlab.com/pshl_info.phtml) for a few weeks now--it's a welcome change from the bulky Quicklaunch bar.
It's definitely worth checking out. If I could add subfolders automatically, I would probably never switch to anything else.
As it is, though, I'm very much looking forward to trying mouser's release.
Quick screenshot below (I hope!):

I've got a few more hefty links for you to look at. This time VirtualPlastic.net, tho. There will be some overlap in apps, but there are enough unique ones to make it well worth mentioning. All include descriptions and lins, but some of the apps are very old and 404. Still, worth a look.

From there, SideBar is notable. It's the old mac one that was a program strip. It's not a windows vista clone of the side bar. Heh, they list that too.

This one is for full flegded start menu replacements. A little different from what you want to do, worth getting some ideas from. A nice list of docks are included here too.
http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/task_app.html
Of the apps listed there, I'm betting MM Desk Hasn't been listed here yet. PainKiller is also a "TopTool" favorite of thiers:

The next one is more of what can be done with the quicklaunch/task bar and html.

Sidenote: That site has a LOT of information on it.
Also, if you look on the main page, you'll notice I posted a news article about some highlights of donation coder, including LB Cmdr. Sry if it was a little premature, but I hadn't read everything at the time of posting. It was before I signed up for the forum too. I haven't posted it to the other sites I spread freeware skinnable news, tho. I've got to post a thread asking about when you want exposure, still.

Well Process Explorer isn't really a "competing" launch program but it can launch programs in a special way (with limited privileges in the same user context)
As I mentioned in the FARR forum it would be great to extend this a little to also be able to have stored credentials inside the launchbar *and* additionally allow the launchbar to remove the appropriate privilege tokens and change group memberships so that the user context is still the same but the process is effectively running as a limited user
With this setup it would then nice to be able to specify the desired context as the default (if not otherwise specified), then this nice tool would also give some non-trivial security benefits as well

Red, I've seen your name way too many times whenever I'm skipping through litestep-land (as if that's a bad thing...), welcome to DC. In my own quest for launchbar goodness, I've gone through most of those very same lists and the 404's are like a flesh eating virus; every day another site goes... here's what I do: find the most recent url link, hit it on the http://www.archive.org Wayback Machine. Somewhere on the cached site you'll many times find a mouseover link that will let you see the name of the package, like (url)/uberlauncherbeta021.zip. Now you have something to Google with. I've found lots of WAY gone shells like that. Many ftp sites still have them up.
