According to my logs, over 6,500 people have downloaded Start++ since it’s release! Wow! Guess it’s time to put up a real “Info” web page to introduce people to it.

Anyone know of or interested in providing a good place to have a Start++ user forum?

Also, if anyone wants to make a pretty icon for it (especially larger than 16×16 ones) that would rock too =)

I just uploaded Start++ 0.4.  The music gadget that I showed before isn’t in there yet, but the picture gadget is.  The focus of this release is to get some testing on the new start menu hooking mechanism - so I’d appreciate your feedback on how that works!

What’s new in 0.4

• Start++ now runs in the system tray to provide better Start Menu hooking, including custom Start Menu UI (”Start Gadgets”).
• Picture Gadget is the first built-in Start Gadget.  Eventually this will be extensible.
• New Options tab with three options
  • Disable running in the background (provides the same functionality as previous versions).
  • Disable command line integration (feature request)
  • Disable Start Menu commands for when Start++ isn’t running
• Bug fixes, including a fix for users with spaces in their user names.

Go get it!
