I've also found xShortcut; not really pretty, but it does allow me to pick apps to launch. No iconpack support though.

I'm still not clear on how to create such an icon pack. Are you saying the right approach is to decompile an icon pack, substitute the pngs, and then recompile? Certainly there must be a better way than that.

I haven't tried xShortcut yet... and as for the right approach i would need to ask my partners cause they do the coding for me... maybe someone else will step in this thread that can help out?
