/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nThis is an improved fork of KDE Plasma's Kicker Application Menu which is a launcher based on cascading popup menus. 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 which can be found in `/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/`, 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\n\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003eGet it from\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://www.pling.com/p/1897850\"\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/1897850\"\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/1897850\"\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\"\u003eInstall it directly from any of the above mentioned sources\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* Disabled the favorite applications shown in the side bar because the original Kicker Application Menu of KDE Plasma looks broken if too many Applications are added to favourites. Favorite applications are now shown in a dedicated menu category\n* Shows all the session and power buttons viz Lock, Logout, Switch User, Sleep, Restart and Shut Down\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. Every component now shares the same background and looks cleaner\n\n\u003ch1 id=\"gallery\" align=\"center\"\u003eGallery\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"400px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172656_Nodic_Run_Command.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"400px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172709_Breeze_Calculator.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"400px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172717_Sweet_Web_Search.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"300px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172732_Nordic.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"300px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172756_Breeze_Favorites.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"300px\" src=\"assets/20220905_172801_Sweet_Icons.png\" align=\"center\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhimdek%2Fbetter-kicker-for-plasma","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhimdek%2Fbetter-kicker-for-plasma","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhimdek%2Fbetter-kicker-for-plasma/lists"}
