10 Brilliant launcher, my new favourite for sure. I had a weird "first time" bug where "use places first" was ticked off, and when opening the launcher, my favourites wouldn't load, but they would be visible when I switched from places to applications. I unchecked "use places first", pressed apply and when I opened the launcher again, switching over to places from applications the favourites list loaded correctly. Not sure what that was about. I've since re-enabled "use places first" and now everything works as expected. Only thing I could see improved is the favourite list in places respected the "in a grid"/"in a list" settings one can set for the favourite list in applications, because curretly, if you set "show favourites" to "in a list", the favourite list remains "in a grid" layout in places, which can be a bit confusing. Thanks for your hard work on this! <3

It would be nice if make it so the menu open on the bottom center, in my case it always open above the start menu button and so isn't centered btw sick looking theme how did u do it

claymorwan

Almost forgot but also be able to set an offset as well for more placement possibilities

Hi Claymorwan. For the plasma theme you can use the following: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/2229124 Regarding the menu always opening above the start button, it is because kickoff works that way.

claymorwan

Yea ik launchers work that way, but I've seen other launcher like andromeda allowing to open in the center or bottom center, isn't that possible ?

Hi Vicko, Very good, love this menu... one of the best, only one thing, let's add an option to change place or application as default once you launch the menu, most of the time i have to click on application in order to open my apps, i will be waiting on, thanks again amazing job.

vicko

Let me see what I can do. I think I would leave places as default and put the option in the menu settings to set Applications as default.

Done in 0.3 version.
