    Active Skins(tm)
    LauncherX is completely skinnable with our Active Skin(tm)technology. Unlike normal skins which are just face paint, we've gone one step further and put intelligent code into the skin structure so the skin forms in essence the user interface layer for Launcher X.

    OK, so what does this mean? It means the look and behaviour of your interface limited only the imagination of skin designers! Prepare yourselves for some mind-blowing concepts in the near future - check out the the skins available here!


    Email support!
    Launcher X's Mail Gadget supports sending email - Just drag a document or application onto the Mail gadget and let Launcher X do the rest!

    Multiple Device Support
    Launcher X supports all screen resolutions and graphics APIs. Whether you're using the latest Palm Tungsten, Sony Clie, Tapwave Zodiac, a HandEra 330 or just a plain ole 160x160 device, Launcher X supports you in color and greyscale. It supports jog dials, 5-way pads and even the Treo 600, 650 and 700P. Rest assured Launcher X has your device covered.

    Free to past registered users. Due to the revised registration code system it is necessary to enter a new registration code based on the new methodology. For details on the process please review the "upgradeinfo.txt" file in the ZIP archive.

    I've been using this program since I got my first SD card (Palm III, I think) and realized I needed something better than the built-in launcher. This is MUCH better. I keep customizing my layout as I add and delete programs, and it keeps up with me.

      10-Jun-06 by Randy Wobser
    A smooth elegant launcher. NVFS compatable, which means it works perfectly on pretty much anything. I had a problem with registration and I got an email back in an hour ON A SATURDAY EVENING! What more can you say about support? Wonderful product with full support. Kudos.

    This little app has been on my Kyocera 7135 for awhile now and it certainly makes it much easier organising all my programs.

      09-Jan-06 by Norbert Hoog
    LauncherX worked perfectly on my Clie. For my Treo 650 I tried several other launchers, but this program is still the best.
    Stable, easy to configure and very small. Simply the best launcher in town!

      09-Jan-06 by Steve Trebotich
    excellent program. i have used this and the previous versions over the last few years on several different pda's. always worked fine. unfortunately, development has stopped and it doesn't look like it will start up again. too bad...
