Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are a handful of different little dockable launcher apps out there. It's just a matter of finding which one you want to use. I looked around on freshmeat a while back for just such an app and ended up using one actually written with blackbox in mind called bbbutton. You can find it at the url below. BBButton Home Page: http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/button/ And here is a screenshot of what I ended up with after hacking the code a bit and using my own icons: http://hacked.org/~nwo/bbbutton.png It's a little bloated but if you have some cpu to spare you probably won't notice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
