Hi, should this work with windows 10 or is the project dead now?
I downloaded the setup.exe from sourceforge and ran as admiinistartor install but it says:

"An error occurred while downloading the required files please check your internet connection and try again."

Looks like a server error or maybe the software is pointing to the wrong link (or maybe a dead link?) for the files.
Is there a portable version of WinLaunch, that isn't dependant on a server please? 

Thank you

Perfectly works with Cinnamon Mint-Y Icons

The download server doesn't work! I've tried everything I'm using wire-shark to see whats happening with the connection to the server...But it's not working. The server fails with updates as well as the initial setup. I got the portable version off of softpedia and that doesn't work either. Hopefully you can fix the server or access to it in the near future. I'd really like to get this working b/c the portable app seems to have issues as well within the xml linkage between files. I'm not exactly sure of the error since I don't know how the program was written or in what language. So If i can be of any help just LMK.

Nice Launcher. Is it possible to change the Font size?
Some Shortcut Names run over the other if you set the Icon space to low.

I have just updated W10 to 15063.413 and WL did not launch at all (at startup), after a manual execution of the binaries and even when trying to run a setup.

Seems like some issue with .Net 4.7 (now included in the Creators update), after enabling all the sub-options in the "enable or disable windows features", it now starts at startup, but if i try to go to settings, or use "f", it crashes and does not work unless I restart the PC.

The ,, F,, key activation dissapered in the last build , so now not allowing drtag & drop anymore
I dont want to search for folders to add , in add folders button
It is a step back for how cool worked earlier
Please , give us an earlier verson archive to allow revert our changes if something dont like in new versions

When I click "setup" nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix this?

Cool app.  I really like the pin to desktop feature, allowing me to use it as a desktop replacement, but it needs the ability to manually arrange icons (I hate obscuring my right heavy background).  A slider to adjust the distance between icons and a few more methods of stretching the BG (fill, center, etc) would also be nice.

Good job, will donate.

when i change the theme it crashes. or anything i change in the settings, it crshes. im using the latest version o windows 10 home x64

Sourceforge link is broken, it says "Page not found"

Detected as malware.. with chrome and Firefox... no antivirus here

For installing to work computers without admin privileges we need to change directory and an offline installer please. Thank you.

Hello, first thank you for this awesome project.

I am using windows 8.1 and with UAC on, it would be good to have a context menu item to run program as admin. Maybe better to be able to assign a hotkey to open programs as admin, such as MiddleClick or Ctrl + LeftClick.

Hello,
What a superb idea and delivery.  Microsoft will be embarrassed with their QuickLaunch, Pin Items and Start Menu once they try your WinLaunch.  It completely changed the way I access day-to-day resources.  I simply can’t live without it now!
Just a quick question: is it possible to customize icons of each shortcut in WinLaunch without affecting the original shortcut file?
Also, I had a dream of completely replacing Windows interface since it’s taking too much space and there is room for improvement.  I came up with a little mock-up below.
s1.postimg.org/kvngnvapb/2015_…
Hovering over open windows (A) would show a preview on the right where the WinLaunch shortcuts are located.
System Tray (B) and Fast-as-you-type filter (C) at the bottom in the same bar where Settings, Edit, and Exit are located.
It could even be taken a step further by having some sort of visual indicators to notify which shortcuts are already open (all the green markings in my mock-up).
Basically, all open windows could be numbered sequentially from top to bottom on the left.  If a particular shortcut is already open, its icon in WinLaunch would have some visual indicator like the green rectangles and corresponding numbers beside it.
Also, it would be great if shortcut text would wrap to next line if it’s too long to fit on a single line.
Not sure if these ideas are feasible and if it wouldn’t add too much stress on the app but just some thoughts.
Keep it up and hope to see more updates.
All the best!
Cheers,
Sebastian

A problem, or a false positive?

I'm having issues with Winlaunch. When i select "Pin Winlaunch to the desktop" It just disappears. I've been having this issue for a long time. I upgraded to the new version, but it still doesn't work

Great app! I replaced rocketdock with this because I kept getting error messages or startup-fails.

But after installing, I have noticed my pc got a bit slower in starting apps, or opening winlaunch itself. Is it just me? or is this a known issue?

Great app, been using it for ages! The download link seems to be broken though.

MAN, i was looking for this a while ago, finally a real stable and clean version, hands down.
but to me, there's only one issue that maybe could be improved. i can't navigate through other programs or folders, because the winlaunch still in first plane until you close it.  That's the only thing,  the rest is perfect. Congratulations and thank you for create this

This program is FANTASTIC.  I love it, definitely one of the best launchers out there.  Thank you very much.  As soon as I can I will be donating.

Also, it works fine on UltraWide screens, (I'm using 2560x1080 with no visible issues).

Just one question, is it possible to place the icons where I want on the screen, ie have some separate from the rest as in 4 on the top left and 3 on the bottom right of the screen?  At the moment they seem to be auto-placed one after another.

so you're back huh? are you still working on winlaunch? 

My Screen is 1920x1080 If i use a wall size 1920x1200, sure that windows will apply that wall with Fill mode. But Winlauch will blur that wall in fit mode (broken ratio), so Blur Bg and Desktop bg will not fit together. One way to fix it is i need to crop my 1920x1200 image fit with my Display Res beforce apply it as Desktop Bg. When i have new one wall, i need to do it again. It made a bit announce ! hope you fix it !

anw. Aero and Yosemite theme (what themes have transparent folder bg), Folder bg didn't fit with folder Border too !

Does this work with windows 8?

this thing is awesome, works very smoothly!

Hello!

Hi MrC0rrupted, I really like this useful program but Im experiencing some minor problem with it in my Windows 8.1 system. The program started normally, when I pressed F button a smaller window showed up but I cannot drag any items onto it. Can you show me how to fix it? Many thanks!!!

Very NICE! Thanks Bro
It works Good

What's different in it? xlaunchpad gives the same thing.

very nice, thx

1. Pressing the middle mouse button crashes the app.

2. Requesting the ability for all desktop items to go in one icon. Then it will make it easier for them to be put within other icons.

3. When windows 7 desktop changer is activated, it doesn't have a smooth transition like when viewer wallpaper in windows by itself. It just abruptly changes to the next wallpaper.

4. Create an option that makes you never see the icons on your desktop again (when this program is up). Then when it closes, you just see a clear desktop.
