* Disclaimer: I'm not a professional developer, but it works on my configuration perfectly, and I love it. However, on your custom environment, you might experience unwanted bugs -- feel free to fork and to contribute. This software does not contain any code which messes with your base system, so if it does not work for you, it's easy to uninstall -- just follow the instructions in the release notes.

Rocket's icon was taken from the OpenMoji library.
