There's xmtoolbox, which targets and has extra bells and whistles to hook into a DE.

Open Toolchest is my fork of the "Program Launcher" by Keidel, which was released into the public domain. Much of the work here is not mine.

You can see it on the right.

The roadmap is to turn it to look more like the toolchest you see on screen near the top center, add additional effects, and make it potentially even more configurable (read: potential new color schemes, font changes etc.)
