_/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 )
