Touch-friendly alternative to TF3D

TF3D is really, really nice. It's also incredibly inflexible. I've used it for a week but now I'm ready to set up my device to do what I need it to do. However, I'd like to keep the touch-navigation rather than go back to stylus-only navigation. What I'd like is to have tabs at the bottom of the screen, with a floating panel for each that is minimized until I need it, in order to keep the rest of the screen visible for tasks/appointments/notes.

I tried UltimateLaunch and was overwhelmed by the options. I tried Touch Commander and it seemed sluggish and non-intuitive. I tried iLauncher and liked it, although there was no option to put the tabs on the bottom of the screen. I added Spacer to it with the fixed position option, and that works fine until my task list grows long enough, then it pushes the tabs off the bottom with a vertical scroll bar, and also garbles the tabs as the plugin above contacts it. Ideally, I would have wanted it to keep the tabs flush at the bottom and the vertical scroll only to the tasks/appts, but I understand that iLauncher can't tell other plugins what to do.

Is there anything out there that can achieve this? I'd be willing to learn UltimateLaunch if that's what it takes... but can UltimateLaunch even do this? Or is it just not possible to have a plugin fixed at the bottom with any required vertical scrollbars stopping at the top of that plugin?

And in case anybody is wondering, I don't want the tabs at the top because it will interfere with my pretty wallpaper.

Any advice is appreciated.

Take the time to learn the ins/outs of UL.

That is an absolutely amazing program although the setup is not intuitive at all........

That's correct... I already looked into HTC Home + Customizer.

Re: Touch-friendly alternative to TF3D

Maybe there's a VGA version of teh HTC Cube you can install somewhere? Also I would recommend Ftouchsl (www.ftouchsl.com) for touchflo/activecorners/gestures . I'm also not crazy about the manial3d deal, it seems slowish. I think a VGA HTC Home + FtouchSL would be simple and perfect, IMO.

I personally have not used it, but ThrottleLauncher might be a good alternative: http://www.throttlelauncher.com/port...leases/84-094k

Re: Touch-friendly alternative to TF3D

what about Mobile Shell? set it as one of the soft keys and you have your finger friendly menus at the touch of a button...
