you can design your launcher like...drawing!.. you can add buttons & active X objects(ie for example),
and then build it!.

the supported objects are:
[buttons(+you can add bitmap file instead of the default text)]
NEWS,UPDATE,connect,quit,about,options
[active X]
Internet Explorer Controls V1

Background image object
**i'll add more functions/objects soon.**
</OBJECT_INFO>
<a quick(lame) guide>
---WARNING! DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDER :NOOB_DATA & THE FILE data.noob---
1) run my prog (LauncherDraw.EXE)
2) goto Config -> General
_APPLICATION_:

press the Left mouse button & click on the REMOVE /REMOVE ALL OBJECTS)
