Let's see...let me clarify one thing...as I have two columns, I duplicated the entire Launcher folder in my Skyrim skin folder - this allowed me to set up two columns of the launcher. If you only want to add apps to the launcher, you need to modify both the launcher.ini file as well as the Variables.txt file that resides in the skin root folder.
So I modified the contents of the .ini file first. Here is what the code looks like...anything in bold needs to be updated with the new number - if you have ten apps, your next will be "11".
; ===========App11===========
[AppButton11Passive]
Meter=STRING
x=0
y=0
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
Text=#App11Name#
FontFace=#FontFace#
FontSize=#FontSize#
FontColor=#FontColorPassive#
StringAlign=LEFT
StringEffect=#StringEffect#
FontEffectColor=#FontEffectColor#
AntiAlias=1
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!ShowMeter AppButton11Active][!HideMeter AppButton11Passive][!Update]
[AppButton11Active]
Meter=STRING
x=r
y=r
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
Text=#App11Name#
FontFace=#FontFace#
FontSize=#FontSize#
FontColor=#FontColorActive#
StringAlign=LEFT
StringEffect=#StringEffect#
FontEffectColor=#FontEffectColor#
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=1
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#App11Path#"][!ShowMeter AppButton11Passive][!HideMeter AppButton11Active][!Update]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!ShowMeter AppButton11Passive][!HideMeter AppButton11Active][!Update]
So for every new program you want to add to your launcher, you need to create a new definition for it, increasing the number value by one for each new app you'd like to link.
Then, you modify the Variables.txt file. This is the code you add:
App11Name="Program"
App11Path=C:\Users\Path\Program.exe
The first like is what you'd like the app link to appear as, and the second line is literally the path to it...you can link to a folder...a website...a program...whatever you want.
So, basically I ended up with two Launcher files...one represents apps 1 - 15 and the second 16 - 30...and my variables file defines variables 1 through 30.
Does that help? If not, I can try to explain better if you get stuck...

Found it in ~Axerron's latest version of the skin.
Now to get this thing configured the way I want it.
The programming of it all is quite simple...just takes a bit of playing around with to get the layers in the right order. But if you have the right background, it's SO clean looking. I adore it.
Thanks for the watch, by the way...
