    The only individual launcher you need. Many configurable visible aspects such as border padding etc. Includes gradients and images. Launch from command line or desktop file. Searches standard icons and fonts locations. Configure to exit on right click or not. Builds without issues (for me) - unlike some other bb tools :-( Keeping blackbox alive with wmalauncher
