< Overview >
GestureLaunch is ICSÕs answer to button bars and package launchers.  Now you can assign up to four actions to each built-in button for a total of 24 different actions that are always available and donÕt take up as much heap or screen space as a button bar.  Launch any package or execute one of the built-in GestureScripts with a simple gesture (select, caret, line, or scrub).

GestureLaunch Lite is a demo version of GestureLaunch.  Registered users will receive a version that can launch frozen packages, along with GestureScript, a script editor.

< Installation >
This program is made up of two separate packages.  GestureLaunch is the autopart that takes the gestures and performs your configured actions.  The Scripts package is a dispatch only autopart (which means that it automatically deletes itself after you install it) that installs the GestureScripts for use with GestureLaunch.

< Instructions >
Before using GestureLaunch, you need to understand the four gestures it uses.  The first, select, refers to holding the pen in one spot for a second.  The caret is drawn like the roof of a house, from the starting point, up and to the right then down and to the right.  The line is a simple horizontal line from left to right.  The final gesture, scrub, is drawn as a series of up and down strokes like an M or W.

You can configure GestureLaunch by selecting the overview button (tap and hold on the dot between the arrows at the bottom of the screen).  After holding the pen down for a second, release it and the first GestureLaunch menu will appear.

From the first menu, you can select the button you wish to configure.  Once you select a button, the configuration screen for that button appears.  For each button, you can assign an action for the four gestures (select, caret, line, and scrub).  This version of GestureLaunch supports two actions:  Launch a Package and Execute a GestureScript.  After selecting an action, you need to choose a package or GestureScript for that action.  Once you have configured a gesture, you need to tap on the Save button to save your changes.

Once you have configured GestureLaunch, tap on the close box of the first menu to exit the configuration screens.  Now you can perform a gesture on one of the buttons to have GestureLaunch perform the associated action.
