That is the applet fossfreedom is working on! And yes it does work great! Did not know he published it, thx

Yeah… but the under-text is : « why working on another app-menu » ? Why not make actual Budgie-AppMenu-Applet better by fixing it and improving it with new features ? Each DE out there has its own app-menu but in the end they all do the same things, none is really better than another, and most if …

Yes true maybe comment on that thread; Well I dont think Solus upstream is gonna use this
