About this widget

Shelf is a launcher panel you fill by dragging. Drop a file, a folder, a shortcut or a program from Explorer or from the desktop onto it, and it becomes a tile. Click the tile to open it just like a double-click in Explorer: programs start, folders open in your file manager, and documents open in their app. Drag tiles between shelves to organize them, or drag one off a shelf to remove it. The shelf collapses to a slim handle toward any edge, on click or, if you turn that on, by itself after every launch, and a drop on the handle opens it up again. Configure the title, labels, icon size, sort order, panel style, and the collapse edge.
