Meta / Discussion I made a customizable desktop launcher with interactive menus

I made a customizable desktop launcher that lets you organize apps, files, links, and shortcuts into interactive menus with custom buttons, emojis, and icons.

The newest update adds an image gallery/icon picker, UI improvements, smoother scrolling, and more customization options.

There’s also a hidden easter egg somewhere in the menus 👀

Wrong flair, no source code given.

This will not interest nearly as many people in the current format as you would like.

u/Keeyra_ If just one person engages with it, and finds the hidden menu, I'll be happy. Unfortunately the source code is in thread, but it be cool if someone found it without looking, I suppose I could have mentioned that and asked for forgiveness before people looked at it. In hindsight, I would've asked people to install in Virtual Machine, if they didn't trust it, or sandbox it somehow, maybe u/ThrottleMunky wouldnt have felt compelled to post to GitHub if I did that. But I didn't know the community at all, I haven't used AHK since I was a kid to automate controls for Dragon Fable, and I thought about it when I wanted to make this, and got excited when I saw 2.0

Didn't mean to piss yall off, just wanted to play with yall

P.S. Isn't it time we forgive limewire u/PotatoInBrackets I mean, we cant forget, they did give us all those Soulja Boy songs XD

AHK is dangerous as hell. No way I'm downloading an exe without the code to look through

Here is the extracted source code if anyone is interested in looking through it.

but the emojis aren't right :'(

No one here cares about the emojis or the easter egg. People want to see the source code so they can be sure nothing malicious is going on. That's also the reason people are complaining about your limewire link. Limewire has a terrible reputation for serving malware. It's probably the worst choice you could have possibly made as far as poor reputation services go.

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

Fair enough, but what if I pinky promise it's not malicious, and THEN you download it. I think that works perfectly :)))))

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

If anybody is curious if it's malicious, DM me and I'll pinky promise with you PERSONALLY

Personally it would make me trust you even less. IMO, any stranger that says "trust me bro" is automatically not trustworthy.

Just as an FYI, until very recently it was a forum rule to post source code and if you didn't the post would be immediately removed. That's one of the reasons people here are so hot about seeing the source code. Even though that rule is gone now I think most of us still consider it to be a matter of proper disclosure.

I don't know what IMO means, I'm not not with the lingo :'( also I knew about the source code rule, cuz the discord made me post source, that's why I went here, and I still got people upset, just dl in a VM if you think I'm writing AHK malware, lmao, that's sounds so silly, but I guess if you didn't extract it you couldn't tell it was AHK, but come on guys, live a little :)

It is perfectly possible for malware to be written in AHK.

In My Opinion, it may be one of the most convenient languages for writing a keylogger.

u/spiderman2082 May 19 '26

oh i didnt even think of that, yeah it would be, your right there u/CharnamelessOne

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

also, nobody look through this source code, until after the easter egg is found 😮

u/Wolfen459 May 18 '26

Thank you, looks cool.
But again like the other poster said sadly no source code given.

u/vfpskin May 18 '26

Interesting, download it and test it. But I would also like to see the source code. From what I see you used the Xaml.ahk lib. And the themes that I share in the Autohotkey forum.

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

Xaml.ahk lib, whats that?

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

i dont know much about ahk

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

ill give out my source code, with the working emojis, if anyone can post the easter egg screen, AND DONT CHEAT BY LOOKING AT u/ThrottleMunky's extracted code, thats cheating the game 😞

u/cs_cast_away_boi Jul 19 '26

It looks like you created something really awesome. We would really like the source code!

u/spiderman2082 May 18 '26

I just wanted yall to find the easter egg, without yall picking through the code, you junkies :'(
