I've updated my website to reflect the fact that Launchpad v2.01 is now available from me. It will be available from other resellers shortly.
There is a demo version and some sample screen shots on the Launchpad page on my website - from the home page, go to the About The QL section and follow the link to the Launchpad page. Launchpad 2 needs a recent pointer environment (v2.01 included for QDOS systems) or SMSQ/E supporting Window Manager 2. Version 2 of Launchpad supports System Palette colour themes (use QCoCo theme files directly, some samples supplied with Launchpad and QCoCo) and features a new shortcut toolbar at the top. It also features better support for background colours and images (wallpaper) than the old version as you'll see from the sample screen dumps. The accessory programs have been updated too (the new versions are included in the Launchpad trial version download). For those people still not using Window Manager 2 the old version will remain available, but future development will focus on the new version, as it's so much better - it has more of the feel of a 21st century front end on systems like QPC2 for example. If nothing else, I've no doubt Marcel will appreciate the fact that his work on the new colours and window manager are being used! If you go to the Quanta page on the same site, you can see pictures and a report fromt he QL Is 21 show. http://www.dilwyn.uk6.net/index.html -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
