Description
This is a simple Text Input Launcher made to be very minimalistic. I got the idea from a reddit user (Shawnessy) and just decided to make it vary in color, size, and package it for easy installation.
Installation/Setup:
1) Load Skin
2) Right click and hit edit
3) The last line where it says, C:UsersMason LawryDesktopTest needs to be changed.
4) Change ONLY what you see above ^ and put your own folder
5)Inside this folder is where you put program shortcuts
*To launch programs you must type in the shortcut name, you can change the shortcut name for ease"

You need to leave the "$UserInput$" there.

Of course:
Right click on the skin and hit edit.
Change the folder location to where you are going to place the shortcuts you want to launch. ex.C:\folderlocation\$UserInput$ (You need to keep the $UserInput$ as the last part of folderlocation)
Save it, and refresh the skin.
Now click on the skin and type the name of the shortcut and press enter. Not case-sensitive. The application you put the shortcut to should launch.
Did that help? Sorry if it was unclear, I can make a video if needed. Also, apologies for the delayed response.
