9 9 excellent 1. Search doesn't work for system settings 2. The icon animations is randomly changing (the high from which the icon is being sliding down to be exactly) 3. The launcher icon looks a bit terrible by default 4. Blur effect is hardly noticeable 5. Also I think settings and power off icons should have bigger margin

snoutie

I will check if I can implement more krunner functionality in the future. Could you re-elaborate 2.? 3. and 4 is due to theming. You can change the launchers icon in the launchers settings (right click > configure) by default the launcher uses your themes launcher icon. If you want blur you will have to enable that in the KDE settings and use a theme that supports blurring as well.

8 Nice and good concept. But it keeps scrolling to the top when the category changed from all apps. If we change this behaviour it would be excellent.

snoutie

I've fixed that in the latest version

zeeshanali1993

Good launcher but not scaling properly over the 2560x1440 (16:9) display with the scaling of 150%. everything is too small. https://i.imgur.com/FiN2M08.png

snoutie

This issue was fixed in with release 0.3. You can try updating the launcher manually with plasmapkg2 --install com.github.SnoutBug.mmckLauncher.tar.gz After downloading the latest version

zeeshanali1993

Installed from https://github.com/SnoutBug/mmcklauncher but still same issue.

snoutie

Did you restart your pc after installation?

zeeshanali1993

Working now Thanks.

8 Love the design and issues, but I encountered a number of issues: 1. When opening the Launcher, most of the time instead of the expected profile picture animation, a grey box flashes under the profile picture. 2. Features including theme selection and custom greeting are missing. (Right click > Configure MMcK Launcher) I also have one question; how so I install "SF Pro Text" on Artix Linux (Arch based)? I was unable to find a clear answer when searching online.

Typo: I meant "how DO I install", not "how SO I install".

Try updating manually, there most likely was an issue while updating the launcher. You can download the latest archive from the files tab (or GitHub). Then navigate to you downloads folder with your terminal and update the package with plasmapkg2 --upgrade com.github.SnoutBug.mmckLauncher.tar.gz After that you should restart plasma (or better your PC). You can use plasmashell --replace You can get the font from here: https://github.com/sahibjotsaggu/San-Francisco-Pro-Fonts/blob/master/SF-Pro-Text-Semibold.otf I will add the link to the description. You can install it like you would with any other font. And lastly the issue with the non transparent background underneath your avatar (at least that's what I understood is happening): I can only think of it to be a theming related issue or an issue with the compositor (I've had a similar experience which caused a black box to appear behind the avatar after *something* crashed) If you do find the cause though, please let me know as I don't have a way to test that myself. Just so we are on the same page: I'm using OpenGL 3.1 for my Compositor QT 5.15.2 Plasma 5.22.5 For themes see description

Another type: I meant "I love the design, but I encountered a number of issues..."
