injecting things in the menu AFAIK is the opposite of KUAL's ethos.

We try our best NOT to touch the system guts. In addition the request is PW specific.

The very recent addition of a built-in launcher option (on the touch devices) to replace the store button goes against this but it was added owing to popular demand.

Add it (The Kual "Book") to a collection and hide that collection with collection manager?

So the options are:
a) Use the injected store button replacement function
(Honestly, I, personally am not 100% behind whole messing with that button but people want it and it exists...)
THEN
b) Hide the book with a collection thingy.

or c) use as is.

The whole point of KUAL was to provide a launcher that wouldn't explode with every re-release of the OS. Such java level mangling to replace the menu options is OF COURSE possible, and in fact there is the old launcher project first authored by Yifan to give you some idea of the works required.

Most certainly it won't be a feature that is to be added to the main branch in the forseeable future.


RE: your second point...
Do you mean the hide DEFAULT KUAL buttons? We could look at that.
I'll have to check the stepk code modifications to the last release.

If not now... this certainly will be an option in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.
