⚠️ v4.0 UI Transition Notice - In Process: The release of Total Launcher v4.0 has introduced significant user interface changes. Please note that this page does not yet reflect these updates. The new layout paths, folds, and visual maps are currently being compiled and will be deployed shortly.
Adding an Application Shortcut & Replacing Objects
Page layouts often require object/icons locations to be flexible. The launcher's “Layout” object offers a more rigid format. An Application shortcut offers a flexible location while linking to an application. This procedure demonstrates adding these to the workspace, positioning, and removing unwanted objects to customize the page layout.
