Trying it out.

Very nice, a good feature would be killing an app on long-press

I had that feature in the prior versions. I decided to take it out because it was a bit inconsistent, since the android API post 2.2 (froyo) doesn't garentee the app you're trying to kill will be immediately terminated at your request.

I will look into it. I initially decided to target 2.3.3+ as these are the only versions I have devices for I could test on.

Thanks for the feedback. My primary focus has been on feature completeness, and usability.
For the future updates, I plan to focus on polishing the app, both at the runtime/memory, and at the UI level.

Windows previews is a big one in my todo list. However it's pretty complex, and I'm still trying to get it to work. It's definitely possible though given the amount of screenshot apps in the android market.
Any hints/help regarding how to implement screenshot like functionality is definitely appreciated.

I just updated the app, and included support for android 2.2 devices.

This is one of the most awesome launcher ever installed on my cell.
