Launchy 2.0: a UFO arrives and publishes this button here.

Quite and imperceptibly refreshed, a rather remarkable Win32 utility saves the time of anyone whose leading upper limb is more often located in the keyboard area than the mouse (subjectively).

The principles of operation of this keyboard booster have been mentioned more than once , therefore, you can go directly to the news.

The cornerstone of the novelty was incompatibility with earlier versions:

• Your old plugins / skins will no longer work
• Your old configuration will be wiped

A good sign here can be considered that probably old plugins will not be thrown into the dustbin of history .
The program has updated skins and on one of them you can see the notorious UFO, which, however, may be a game of the sick imagination of the author of the topic. A number of options are added which are oriented towards the enhancement of the appearance and disappearance of a panel with a fading effect. Also Launchy2 can hide with the loss of focus of its window - great news. Added support for Vista.

Full list of changes:

• Launchy has been completely rewritten with QT
  
  • Your old plugins / skins will no longer work
  • Your old configuration will be wiped
  
  
• A new look! New icons and skin thanks to Tyler Sticka
• Much better skinning support
• Options merged into a single tabbed dialog
• Skin selection now shows previews
• Plugins much more configurable
• Launchy can hide when it loses focus
• Fade in / out effects
• Customizable transparency
• Optional shallow scan of directories
• Unicode support for Firefox bookmarks
• Vista support
• It's just better
