Quicklauncher

The goal of the xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin is double.

• First, it is intented to offer you a fast and easy way to configure the plugins wich are on your panel.
• Secondly, it is able to display these launchers on one or more lines, and they are displayed so that they don't waste space. They also feature a little zoom effect when you pass the mouse over them.

This Plugin is quite easy to use.
After having added him to your panel, click on the “properties” button. The config dialog will then be prompted. Once here, all you have to do is to enter the command you wanna use and to choose the icon by double clicking on them. * Note: When you double click, you have first the choice between some stocked icons. (the same as with normal panel launchers). But you can also use your own icon by clicking on the last button.

These realease are made in order to work with the current stable release of xfce. The latest one is 0.81.
xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-0.81.tar.gz

These realease are made in order to work with the develloppement version of xfce, and with the future 4.4 version of him.
The latest version is 1.9.1. This is quite the same as the 0.81 one, except that it require the develloppement version of the panel, and allow you to have more than one quicklauncher at a time.
