Does What It Says!
An_Onuma- Pros
- Easy To Use & Setup! Provides a colorful old style launcher. Fairly Customizable. Useful little App.
- Cons
- Looks a bit outdated. It's certainly not eye candy.
- Summary
- I have had this on 2 systems. Still have it on 1. I really liked this app. It's easy to use and setup. Not a system hog. It stays hidden until you mouse over the start button. The only thing I didn't like about it, was that it looked more like win 95 than XP. I would have like to have had some corner options for the look & feel of the app. I would have chosen the nicer looking xp style for the app...ie rounded corners of the menu and a slightly rounded button. If I wasn't being so picky about the way it looked I would still be using it on my computer. I just wanted a launcher w/more of a modern feel. But I still have this on my kids system for their games. It keeps everything nice and organized for them. This is an excellent program. I really wished they would updated the look a bit. I would definitely put it back on my own system if they did.
Not My Cup Of Tea
SENSUAL24- Pros
- It's ok if you like to look at very small icons.
- Cons
- When you add programs the icons are small, there is anoption to change the size of the icons, but the bigger you make them, the more space StartEx occupies and it takes over half the screen, that's when it becomes annoying.
