Characteristics

• Global environment configuration
• PATH addition
• Environment variable substitution on all entries
• Icon resource path addition

The main configuration file is launcher-conf.json and is search on:

• mainIcon: Path to top icon application (can search on resource system via res:<path>)
• mainLabel: Text beside of main icon
• res: Array of string representing the search PATH of resources refers as res:<resource name>
• path: Array of string representing the additional search PATH perpended to the current process PATH (and all that child)
• env: Object with pairs of key: value added or replaced in current process environment (and all that child)

launcher's Issues

Agregar configuraciones [Enchancement]

Un par de ideas:

• Que sea responsive, es decir la cantidad de iconos de ancho cambie en 2 o 3 medidas.
• Que recuerde las ultimas medidas establecidas pro el usuario en le json
