41 <h1>What this is?</h1>
43 Simple launcher is an home applet for <a href="http://maemo.org">Maemo</a> based systems.
45 <p>By default you will have to navigate to your application through the menu system Hildon Desktop
46 offers. However there is certainly a number of applications that you run most often. This small
47 applet allows you to run your favourite applications with just one click (one click seems to be
48 quite popular these days :))
51 <a name="install"></a>
52 You can check the <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=131">'Files' section</a> at
53 garage. All releases should be available there.
55 <p>The current release — 0.9.5 — is available for <a
56 href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/2195/simple-launcher_0.9.5_armel.deb">direct download</a>.
61 After you installed the applet, you need to open home application menu, click on 'Select
62 applets…', click on checkbox next to 'Simple Launcher', and press 'OK'. You will be put
63 into 'Edit Layout' mode where you can select the location and the size of the applet. After you
64 are happy with with the settings, click on green checkbox button at the top right corner. Now you
65 can configure the applet: open the menu, select 'Applet settings', and choose 'Launcher
66 settings…'. In the dialog you should now see, you can select the applications you want to
67 use as well as order them according to your preferences. When you are done, press 'OK'.
69 <p><b>Note</b>: if you upgrade the applet, you must re-boot the device, otherwise the old version
70 will be used by maemo-af-desktop/hildon-desktop :)
