Taskbar Launcher is a little tool that shows a customizeable launch pad when you hit the taskbar.

Attention: Current version is designed for newer 6.5.x builds of Windows Mobile with the start menu on bottom. Taskbar Launcher is blocking all other applications from the taskbar, so it might be a bad idea to use it when your Start menu is still on top.

Changes:

* Improved performance of launcher dropdown
* Improved gesture recognition
* Launcher window position was messed up on some resolutions –> Fixed!
* Gestures can be turned on/off and it’s possible to launch custom cmds
* Rotate screen can also be called from launcher
* Possible to launch htc notification through gesture or from launcher
* When hitting icons in the launcher they become highlighted
