# Slingswarm
Slingswarm is the GTK+3 version of Slingscold, i.e. a lightweight application launcher similar to Launchpad in Mac OS X. It is also Wayland compatible.
This project was originally forked from Slingscold:
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/slingscold/
## Compilation
Enter inside the **build** folder and execute `cmake ..` and after `make`.
## Post Install
Once installed set shortcut key to access Slingswarm.
* System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard Shortcuts > click Add
* Name: Slingswarm
* Command: slingswarm-launcher
Now assign it a shortcut key, such as CTRL+SPACE.
Note: Some themes don't have the 'application-default-icon'. Slingswarm needs to have this icon, so please download it from the [FlatWoken](https://github.com/alecive/FlatWoken) icon pack and execute the following commands:
```
# cp application-default-icon.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
```
## Changelog
1.0
* Removed libunique dependency (for Wayland compatibility)
* Several code improvements and bug fixes
* Ported Slingscold to GTK3
