I use this myself. This version will not check for updates.
The std::cout stuff can be useful if you call it from console (it won't call a terminal by itself of course)

How to use

  1. Create a verysimpleappdrawer.json right next to the .exe
  2. Do something like
{
	"icon_size": 64,
	"apps":[
		{
			"app_path":"control",
			"app_icon":"control_panel.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"control powercfg.cpl",
			"app_icon":"battery.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"control main.cpl",
			"app_icon":"mouse.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"control mmsys.cpl sounds",
			"app_icon":"sound.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"start ms-settings:",
			"app_icon":"config_icon.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"start ms-settings:regionlanguage",
			"app_icon":"language.png"
		},
		{
			"app_path":"start cmd /k nvidia-smi",
			"app_icon":"nvidia.png"
		}
	]
}
  1. Add some images like listed in the json file. They should be squared for best visuals.
  2. Try to launch the app
  3. Create an shortcut to the app
  4. Change the shortcut's icon
  5. Add the shortcut in the taskbar
  6. Have fun

Fun fact: you can stack them (aka call another one and keep it going)
Fun fact 2: you can use the numbers on your keyboard to call the desired one in order from left to right
