New Features in 3.0:
Alternate Launch Methods
Some apps were not able to be launched previously. These new options (available when adding a 3rd party app) should allow some of these apps to be launched now.
Border Size option
You can now specify the border size of the menu to be the default size or 'Minimum' which is a thin border around the menu. (see screenshots below)
Background Color
In addition to being able to set images for the menu background you can now specify a color. (see screenshots below)
Background Transparency
Set the transparency level of the menu background when a color is specified. Using a background image will override this setting. (see screenshots below)
Opera Mini Support
Option to launch websites using the Opera Mini browser (note: this feature only works if opera mini was started using this function or launched from QL originally. Starting opera mini by using it's icon will cause this feature to not work)
Bolt browser support coming in a future update.

Option to put the screen capture function in the system menu
Scheduled Reboot
In addition to the reboot on demand feature you can now set a specific time of day to automatically reboot your device

QuickLaunch Function Button Added
There is a new button on the 'Add Items' screen - "QuickLaunch Function". This contains all the functions proprietary to QuickLaunch such as 'Bluetooth Toggle', 'Flashlight', 'Websearch', 'StayLit' etc.

Disclaimer:
This update represents literally months of work. A lot of the infrastructure to the app and also to the activation process and the nikkisoft server has been changed. Therefore some of you may experience an issue with a bug or two or activation problems or something. We've tested the app to the best of our ability however 18 beta testers do not equal 1000's of users so something might come up. If you have any issues just contact nikkisoft support and I'll take care of everything as quickly as possible.
Special thanks to the Beta testers' hard work in helping me get this version ready.
3.0 Beta testers should contact me on how to receive their free copy of QuickLaunch 3.0.
Special thanks to Wayne at WJDDesigns for developing the icon and artwork. Hit him up for all your design needs. WJD Designs

08-18-10 04:33 PM - Just upgraded, thanks to CheetahAce for your efforts to keep advancing and expanding the capability of QL. Happy to pay a small upgrade charge to support the dev!
I am having one issue, thought I'd post it here in case others encounter the same. The QL window appears (on my 9630, OS5.0) to be offset to the right a little? This cuts off the date display and sub-menu names. Screenshot attached. I have tried the expandable and standard menu width options but they don't seem to make a difference.
I do note that if I change to the "minimal" menu border width, the issue is no longer present. I prefer the original menu style, personally - is this due to something I am doing incorrectly in the new settings?
