There ARE more sizes. Unlocking the toolbar is trivial. Fixing it for real is much harder to find:

To get a pleasant MEDIUM like-in-the-old-days size, right click your desktop,
Personalize -> Window Color -> Caption Buttons = 21 (default)
May have to reboot.

There should be more sizes than just small and large for the icons: http://www.aerotaskforce.com/view/473

It never have crashed here. This really sounds new to me. Maybe it is stupid to say from me, but launchy will be shown to you by pressing ALt spacebar to type something in and if you press enter to excecute or if you click somewhere else it will disapear again and do what you had asked to launch. So if that’s the case, it hasn’t crashed it just go away until you press alt spacebar again.

But of course, if you know that already and it’s just not working than I don’t know why.

@Marc

Launchy works just fine for me. I have never had it crash. Are you using the latest “stable” version? I run it on at least 5 PC’s throughout the house without issue.

I am still trying to understand the Launchy craze considering that is probably one of the most unstable application I have seen…am I the only person on the planet for which Launchy crashes all the time??

I have to agree with SQrL. The many programs I have makes me search for the icons a lot, normaly. But now I have removed almost al the shortcuts and use launchy for almost everything.
It’s just faster.

I have the same exact problem on vista home premium – thought it was because I had been tinkering with the Windows registry recently. Now i realize that I had temporarily switched the dpi display settings to a larger size before switching back and seeing the oversized icons.

I never would have taken the time to google this problem since it was simply cosmetic…

I love this blog, thanks!
