The design is simplified while improving search features and customizability.\n\n## Powerful Plasma Search\n\nThe search bar uses `Plasma Search`, which is the same search provider used in Krunner, Kickoff Application Launcher and the Overview effect which supports powerful search plugins and providers.\n\n###### **NOTE:** The initial codebase was copied from Kicker Dash which can be found in `/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickerdash/`, on every Linux system that has KDE Plasma installed.\n\n## Prerequisites:\n\n* Linux based Operating System\n* [KDE Plasma Desktop Environment](https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/)\n* [Better Kicker for Plasma](https://himdek.com/Better-Kicker-for-Plasma)\n\n\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003eGet it from\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://www.pling.com/p/1897990\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"50px\" src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/Pling%20Store-informational?style=for-the-badge\u0026color=orange\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://store.kde.org/p/1897990\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"50px\" src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/KDE%20Store-informational?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=KDE\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1897990\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"50px\" src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/openDesktop-informational?style=for-the-badge\u0026color=blueviolet\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eor\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eIf you have download the file, extract it, open a terminal in the directory containing the `metadata.desktop` file and execute the following command:\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cpre\u003ekpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Applet --install\u003c/pre\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Changes made over default Kicker:\n\n* Removed the favorite applications shown in the side bar and are now shown in a dedicated menu category\n* Removed the widgets tab\n* Ability to enable or disable the `Favorites` menu category.\n* Powerfull and improved search: The search bar now supports all the features of Plasma Search or Krunner\n* Unified design: Removed unnecessary separators.
