valaunch

Valaunch is an application starter that can be used to quickly find apps, bookmarks or files on your computer and start/open these.
The valaunch window is shown on the entry of an desktop-wide keyboard shortcut. After that, it usually only takes entering a few letters to find the desired target.
The valaunch window is created with cairo and gtk+ and has transparency if the desktop supports it.
This project is a port of gnome launch box ( http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLaunchBox ) to the vala language.
The vala compiler creates GObject/C code from vala sources. This means no interpreted language is used and that valaunch has very little overhead.
For releases, C sources are distributed and therefore no vala compiler is needed to compile them.
