TIP OF THE FORTNIGHT
Make NirLauncher easier to use
As a long-time user of NirLauncher (www.snipca.com/46479), I was delighted by Issue 662’s Workshop (page 38) revealing both new and hidden tools in the program.
Your tips were very handy, but I’m guessing you didn’t have time to explain ways to tweak NirLauncher’s design to make it easier to navigate. Please allow me to do so instead! Once you’re running NirLauncher, click View and select ‘Mark Odd/Even Rows’. This alternates the rows by white and grey (1 in our screenshot).
Next, click Options and select Show Description Text. This will bring up a pale yellow box at the top which explains what each program does when you click it 2.
I also create my own groups to store NirLauncher’s software. One such group has the self-explanatory title ‘Updated since 2022’. To create a group, click Launcher at the top then select Insert New Group . Name your group and it’ll appear as a grey button at the top. You can now drag and drop a NirLauncher tool from your extracted folder to this new group.
