Going to have to give this a try when I get home...looks promising..

I decided to make this post to bring attention to this awesome app that was really helpful to me and I felt would be really helpful for other's. I have used it for about 48 hours now and it has been awesome. It makes it so much easier for me to use a one-handed operation on my 6700, which is very important to me. Also, it makes the softkeys much more useful to me. It is a small install and it does not need to run in the background (for all you memory conservers out there), just run it once and be done with it (unless you want to change it later).

As I missed New menu that was on previous versions of WM5, i looked for some replacement but didn't find anything. So I've created small app which simulates this functionality. It's actually configurable launcher with a few predefined actions. Here are some screenshots:





Its configuration is in "Settings" (control panel). It can be bound to the both today keys. In certain cases (if default app is bound to a today key) the new change takes effect after soft-reset. App will notice such case.

Thanks for the detailed instructions..I posted this a while back but didn't seem like anyone was interested..it's a great addon function. Also, iLauncher's latest beta also has this function.

Does iLauncher need to run in the background?

Not sure what you mean by running in the background butiLauncher is an app launcher so I guess it is. They added a function where you can put the "new" menu on there..check it out
