Hi guys,
Again, I made a, I think a pretty useful application for Start Menu. It's not yet done, but I want to show a preview on what this app do.
Do you agree that sometimes scrolling way down to the bottom of the start menu is a bit tiring? Though you can move those on top but .. your application shortcuts in start menu will start getting messy
So I made this this start menu app to reduce some of the hard scrolling work.
here are some screenshots
LETTER PAD note: available on version 1.1b
and video preview
Part 1
Part 2
I hope there's a kind person who can do a better video demo of my app.
the original idea was to have a search field at the bottom of the screen on the start menu then the start menu automatically scrolls to, what ever matched on your search. simple eh? the problem is, Start Menu can't receive key presses.. so.. discard.
Progress of the application is like: 98%
the other 2% is of course, unexpected bugs.
Requirements
- NETCF 3.5 Framework
Future Plans
1. use the WM6.5/.x style icon.
2. thinking ...
Compatibility
- All resolution (I hope)
- WM 5?, WM6/6.1, WM6.5/6.5.1

- app.config reader
- Bar is now wider
- Recent item list
- Items are finger friendly
