there a 1000 ways to do a launch ‘menu’, and each will be appreciated by someone out there. give me a menu implementation and i’ll show you someone who loves it to death and someone who wants to do physical harm to the author. so i don’t think it makes much sense to toss N of them in a ring and discuss relative merits. i’d much rather have a list of goals and then work towards something that meets them. those goals ought to follow the design purpose of the Plasma 2 desktop shell and should probably not be confined to “how can i launch applications?” > http://i.imgur.com/KG2R98u.png as an aside: this really makes zero sense to have. it requires plasmoid A to work with plasmoid B in a way that makes lots of assumptions. drag and drop + SLC should replace these misfeatures entirely. > "let's have a little smartphone VM in a corner of the screen" given when kickoff was designed (and by whom/where), this is a folk etymology of the kickoff UI which bears no resemblance to what actually transpired. get the motives wrong, learn the wrong lessons. -- Aaron J.
