Description

LavaLauncher serves a single purpose: Letting the user execute shell commands by clicking on icons on a dynamically sized bar, placed at one of the screen edges.

Unlike most popular launchers, LavaLauncher does not care about .desktop files or icon themes and it does not track open applications; It is not a dock. To create a button, you simply provide the path to an image and a shell command. This makes LavaLauncher considerably more flexible: You could have buttons not just for launching applications, but also for ejecting your optical drive, rotating your screen, sending your cat an email, playing a funny sound, muting all audio, toggling your lamps, etc. You can turn practically anything you could do in your shell into a button.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 2.1.1, as upstream numbers it.
