README
A simplified fork of KDE Plasma's default Kickoff Application Launcher
This is a simplified fork of Kickoff which is KDE Plasma Desktop's default Application launcher. The design is minimalized without compromising on power and important features.
## Powerful Plasma Search
The search bar uses `Plasma Search`, which is the same search provider used in the default Kickoff, Krunner and the Overview effect which supports powerful plugins.
###### **NOTE:** The initial codebase was copied from Kickoff which can be found in `/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/`, on every Linux system that has KDE Plasma installed.
## Prerequisites:
* Linux based Operating System
* [KDE Plasma Desktop Environment](https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/)
Get it from
Install it directly from any of the above mentioned sources
or
If you have download the file, extract it, open a terminal in the directory containing the `metadata.desktop` file and execute the following command:
kpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Applet --install
## Changes made over default Kickoff:
* Removed the Places tab and page
* Removed the Configure button (This feature can still be accessed by right clicking the widget icon and `Configure Simple Application Launcher..`)
* Unified design: Removed the header and footer, and every component now shares the same background
