💖 LXLAUNCHER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little icon of a program is literally the manual page for lxlauncher, and it's serving launcher for applications optimized for the 7-10.2" screens realness. yes, that tiny screen on your netbook era fave. she was built different. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxlauncher

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, no drama. you just run her and she does her thing. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, LXLauncher is an open source clone of the Asus launcher for EeePC. and the way that it outperforms the original launcher developed by Xandros?? not me being shady but also being factual. she ate. 💅

what does she actually do, you ask? LXLauncher enables the LXDE desktop to be a topic oriented grouping specific application programs to one view under tabs. so instead of a chaotic pile of icons, everything gets sorted into cute little topics, each one its own tab. it's giving organization. it's giving aesthetic. it's giving I can actually find my apps on a 7-inch screen. 🎀

🍓 FILES 🍓

here's where she keeps her stuff, bestie. all three live under ~/.config/lxlauncher/:

  • ~/.config/lxlauncher/settings.conf — an init-style file with display settings 🖥️
  • ~/.config/lxlauncher/gtkrc — a GTK+ 2 RC file with style definitions 🎨
  • ~/.config/lxlauncher/gtk.css — a GTK+ 3 CSS file with style definitions 🌈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

lxlauncher was written by Hong Jen Yee <pcman.tw@gmail.com>. and get this — some code was taken from the guification plugin of gaim/pidgin, and some from libexo. we love a resourceful queen pulling from everywhere. 🫶

this manual page was written by Andriy Grytsenko <andrej@rep.kiev.ua> for the Debian project (and may be used by others). iconic of them honestly.

💌 and that's the whole page, bestie! no hidden flags, no secrets, just vibes and tabs. go launch something cute on your tiny screen. no cap. 🧚

lxlauncher 0.2.8 · September 2014 — yes she's an elder millennial but she still slays, periodt. 💜
