What is Finder Palette?

Finder Palette is a file launch and organizational utility. With Finder Palette, you install links to your frequently-used applications, folders, desk accessories, etc., in a special launch palette. You then use the launch palette to launch/open those frequently-used files.

With Finder Palette, you are not required to place your frequently-used files in a special folder (like you are required to do with Apple Menu Items). Since files can be located anywhere on your hard disk, the installation process is simple. And, as you will see, customizing Finder Palette to suit your personal preferences is a breeze.

The launch palette contains an array of 3-dimensional buttons (or cells) that are labeled with the icon of the installed file or folder. Finder Palette supports the new System 7 color icons, including custom icons, and properly hilites them (instead of simply inverting the colors).
Finder Palette's user interface was constructed with navigational speed in mind. All of the functions can be invoked from the either the keyboard or the mouse, eliminating the need to switch back and forth between the two. Even check boxes, radio buttons, and push buttons in dialog windows can be selected from the keyboard. And the launch palette can be accessed almost anytime using user-configurable “hot keys” and/or “hot corners”.
