    Unfortunately, the author had passed away due to heart attack, may him RIP. https://sourceforge.net/p/maxlauncher/discussion/general/thread/bb51daac9c/ There is source code available and some remake version, this maxlauncher is very good concept and easy to use, I still use it daily. Good luck to everyone.

    @madproton Would it be possible to add an option to override the blue/white "M" icon in the taskbar/systray? It would be helpful to be able to configure a custom icon.

    Yes, the project has been abandoned. Unfortunately, the maintainer passed away at a young age of 49 due to a heart attack 😢. It is very sad, and it would be great if someone took up the mantle of this great project as a duty of remembrance.

    OK - I tried all of that and the .mld file was there, but when I clicked on it, all was gone too. And Recuva didn't find anything either. I don't have any viruses or malware either.

    Hi, thank you very much for your deep and precise answer to my questions. I see, that I can configure Maxlauncher very well with the basic installation, because I can also use portable.cfg.

    Advanced... Yes, that was the very cumbersome method I referenced. (smile) I was just hoping you had access to the initial drop-list so that it might be changed to a drop-down so that we could type/paste into it without ever activating the other tool. But, I guess that the entire theme editor is a 3rd party thing, or at least the control used for color selection is, right from the start, a fully packaged custom control. Oh well, I hope it didn't hurt to ask! (grin) Thanks for your help. I used Microsoft's...

  • madproton madproton posted a comment on discussion Help

    As for using the same color for other elements, you can click on the dropdown arrow button, click on the Advanced button, cut/paste in the area above the R(ed) where it show the Hexadecimal representation of the color (eg. #FFD4FFFF) As for changing the interface, that part of the program is an old third-party tool. I do not have the code for it. :-(

    I'd though the "Customize" button wasn't implemented yet... Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it activates a tool for themes based of 'Detailed'! (smile) Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have one suggestion for the theme customization tool: Change the combo boxes that it uses from a "drop-down list" to a "drop-down" that allows me to type directly into the value field instead requiring me to use the cumbersome color selector. This would be very useful, especially since themes...

  • madproton madproton posted a comment on discussion Help

    You cannot change the 'MouseOver' color used simply by editing the Custom.xaml file of the Basic theme. You need to make a copy of the Detailed theme and make changes there.
