NeXTBar

Purpose

A desktop application launcher to end all application launchers. :-)

Features include...

• Up to 55 buttons per 'page' (depending on screen size)
• Nine pages, or bars, easily switched via coloured tabs or CTRL-function keys (1-9)

• Password protection to stop unauthorised people editing the buttons or hotkeys.
• Optional display of free memory.
• Optional display of time or date.
• Search facility to locate 'lost' applications.
• Ability to lock screen position of bar.
• Each application can be set to be 'seen' or even loaded automatically when NextBar starts up.
• Each application can be assigned a 'hotkey' to simplify application launching.
• The ability to assign URLs (or drag from a web browser) to each button.
• The ability to assign a specific name to each button (useful for labelling web sites where the actual filename is generally just 'index.html', which is not very meaningful).
• Relatively compact using a minimum of memory
• Initate a web search using up to 20 popular (user definable) search engines.
• Integrated !CloseFiles utility
• Ability to print (or snapshot) any open window.
• Facility to save application data directly to any directory stored in NeXTBar with optional 'dated 'sub-directory.
