Dieter Rausch was determined to have a toolbar that looked 'way cool', not some flimsy or dull-looking miniature replica of a Windows toolbar. What he produced gives you the feeling that you are in the cockpit of a space shuttle, rather than stuck in the den or the office... Y-Desk has two modes: In your face or hardly noticeable - you are either at the controls of your mother ship (or should that be motherboard?) or you do not require a launcher at the moment so an icon
in the System Tray is as much of it as you wish to see. Well what do you want to do? Do you want to sit gazing into Windows (the modern equivalent of gazing out of the window, perhaps) frantically searching for the right .exe file, or get on with the launch? Quite! We agree with Dieter, BIG is GOOD! If you don't feel that way, he suggests you install one of the many tiny toolbars for people with great eyesight and a passion for miniatures and leave the rest of us to enjoy BIG. (To tell the truth, we use both kinds and wouldn't like to be without any of them!) You can alter the font settings (not all fonts and sizes look great); The desk comes already linked to a great many useful commodities if you like to be in touch with the innards of your machine and the 120 slots we mentioned earlier are in addition to that lot, all ready and available for whatever you want to add, in eight sets of fifteen. You can leave free slots between small groups of programs so that they stand out as a sub-group or string them continuously down the fifteen slots and go on to the next set. Every toolbar is but a short hop away from the rest and Y-desk is a joy to use.
