launcherx's Issues

Acrylic Support

hello there ;

Using this app on Windows 10 --which I understand it most likely hasn't been built for-- would certainly feel a lot more cohesive would its background not render as an opaque, tarnished grey.

This could be fixed by calling the AcrylicBrush in its place if the OS does not support Mica (which Windows 10 does not), and possibly giving the user the option to choose between those ? (well, at the very least, a hard coded fallback would be greatly appreciated)

Another option, which I believe is doomed to be impossible, would have been to embed a Mica renderer within the app itself ; although I doubt this would be that easily doable.

Hence comes what I believe to be the easiest to add ; that being, Mica for Everyone support. All that would be needed on your end (most likely) would be not to render an additional background on top of that drawn by the Windows compositor ; then third party apps like Mica for Everyone would certainly be able to handle the rest.

Enhancement Request

Its really good to have the get the launcher working as portable with relative paths for adding the folder or file.

Thanks in Advance

Enhancement Request

You should add pages so we can sort items like games / apps / folders / sites kinda like this
Each button would open a new list view to allow people to sort everything instead of having it on one page ( i would do it myself but its above my knowledge )

Poor Image Quality

It would seem that LauncherX makes use of lower scale rasterised images, which it then has trouble rendering sharply --in spite of the fact that most of those shortcuts point to executables that contain full resolution icons.

This would greatly improve the look of your app.
