_/Panel Manager / items / Launcher_
In a Program Launcher Make it easy to add items :
-query Appfinder to add an apllication
-qwerty Filemanager to choose a file or a folder
- query the "Add items to panel" to add screenshots-notes or others OR
Drag &Drop from another panel (implying further possibility to have
multiple drawers like "Program Launcher" icons (that could also be
changed by drag&drop in the preferences)
_
/Panel Manager / items / IconBox
_For ease of navigation-walking infront-openning windows :
-add a configuralble hotkey to move the "mouse-keyboard" focus to the
iconbox panel > Left-Right Keys move the upcomming app to front Up&Down
Reduce Or Magnify size : *i.e. alt-tab is the hotkey , once pressed >
Left brings the left window to top , double it or tripple > move to that
window > space or any key to remove focus from the iconbox(could also be
used into "Task List3*
-add a tick into the prefereces to rearrange windows to see them all on
the screen (like Frontrow for the one who knows but being able to keep
this windows visualisation), Other Visualisation of multiple windows
presets such as pile of windows or fill the screen with all windows
exists ( could be implemented to this icon too) but i dislike them for
their lack of flexibility and ease of view :
1-clicking the front row-like or hiiting a hotkey, mixes all the windows
resizes them & leaves a space(background) in between each of them.
2 - the focus could swich back to one window OR clicking on a window
thicks it > thick another one > hit any key or click the
("reelevation"OR"facade") button again > the ticked windows are
rearranged on the screeen without overlapping them selves & with some
space in between: *i.e. click the button >tick a file manager window,
tick a second > click the button > two windows are on the scree one left
one right OR one up-ddown *(this could even make moving a window obsolete)_
/Panel Manager/Customize_
select transparency - colors of panels (each-all) - colors of
interactions (selected - minimized - reduced )
