Deprecated, here is a Not so feature rich replacement: https://github.com/adhec/OnzeMenuKDE, contact me if you are interested in maintaining this.

Menu11

A highly customizable launcher inspired from windows 11 menu. Fork of MenuZ.

Deprecated:

• It is not maintainable and has many errors and bugs, unfortunately I am not on KDE right now so I cannot help with those Suggested replacement: https://github.com/adhec/OnzeMenuKDE

OnzeMenu is not that customizable but I hope it will continue to improve.

Special Thanks to

• Prateek SU / Me for creating Menu 11 by forking Menu Z and for continuously adding and improving features.
• Nayam Amarshe for improving the design.
• John Vincent for improving grid view of recommended section.
• Lupert Everett for adding multiple footer icons.
  

Frequently asked questions(FAQ)

How do I fix "Sorry! There was an error loading Menu 11."

This is most likely due to missing plasma-widgets-addons package on your system.

You can install this using sudo apt install plasma-widgets-addons on Ubuntu / Debian Distros or sudo pacman -S kdeplasma-addons on Arch based distro.

If you have any other distro then please search for the package name for your distro.

The elements look messed up, What's wrong with this applet?

This can be due to various reasons:

• KDE version you are using is too old, we recommend at least KDE 5.21 if you are using this applet.
• Another applet or program is causing this issue.

You can create an issue if you think it's due to a KDE update or it's not mentioned above.

Installing Manually

Using git

git clone https://github.com/prateekmedia/Menu11.git ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/menu11;
kquitapp5 plasmashell || killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell;

menu11's Issues

Footer icons looks ruined after upgrading to Kubuntu 21.10

As the title says, the footer icons look ruined after upgrading to Kubuntu 21.10 (with 21.04 they used to look fine).

What can I do? I've already tried to reinstall the applet but with no success. Maybe there is some configuration file I have to delete to completely reset the applet to its default settings?

Additional infos:

• Kernel: 5.13.0-27-generic
• Plasma version: 5.23.5
• KDE Frameworks version: 5.90.0
• Qt Version: 5.15.2

I also attach a screenshot:

Not installing properly on KDE Plasma

I installed the app on the newest version of plasma and it says "Sorry! There was an error loading Menu 11." Does anybody have a fix???

[Bug] Menu overlaps taskbar if Auto-Hide enabled.

Problem:

Auto-Hide disabled:

Expand Image

Auto-Hide enabled:

Solution:

The menu should always spawn on the same location, relative to the size of the full extended taskbar.

Tested on:

Latest Manjaro KDE release.

Translation of Menu 11 in French.

Hi,

I checked the translation of the fr.po file for Menu 11 available here and some parts are not good. Here is my full translation in French of Menu 11. If someone want to check it and modify the items who are not good, I don't see any disadvantage.

fr.po.zip

Note: In the original Windows 11 menu (Windows), the following translations (French) are :

"Type here to search"
"Tapez ici pour effectuer une recherche"

and

"Recommended"
"Nos recommandations"

See it: https://eu-browse.startpage.com/av/anon-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Flecrabeinfo.net%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F09%2Fwindows-11-remettre-le-menu-demarrer-a-gauche-61372841eb635.jpg&sp=1635419897Te60e5c1285b9491dd2b07b843ab30456677fd06f13a8c87e46a35f15882e2ccf

Wrong icons used for full size pinned apps

It looks like pinned apps use icons that are meant for tray icons in icon themes.

How the icon looks:

How the icon should look like:

Correct icons are used while viewing all apps.
The problem with using tray icons is that icon themes usually don't have one for every app and those are generally low res.

Using latest git version.

Use in Recommended also a more button

Use also in the recommended section a more button instead of a scroll mechanism

Windows 11:

Doesnt focus on search immediately

Even when assigning a shortcut, the launcher doesnt search immediately after opening it, you have to click the field.

This is of course some speed problem.

Great launcher!

Can you make the user picture a little bit bigger?

Nice work but, as the title says, can you make the user account picture a bit bigger like in OnzeMenu [11]? Here's a link to it so you can see: https://store.kde.org/p/1545530

Missing "More" button in "Recommended" section

Larger (or "customizable") icon and font size.

Love the concept, excepting the Windows-like mimicking (why not full screen or adjustable?)

But everything looks too small on my laptop.

Is there a way to add a way to shrink the pinned apps icon size?

I use this on my laptop and if I keep the size at 5 x 6 the menu takes up my whole screen. If we could change the size of the icons or even the whole menu be able to scale down for resolution that would be great.

Italian translation

Hi, I've translated it in Italian!

Can you make it localizable?

I like this plasmoid widget. but, this plasmoid widget hasn't localization. So, I tried to make po translate file for this widget, but failed.

Can you make pot file for this widget?

[Bug] Search system settings broken

I've been using Menu 11 for a few weeks now, first on Kubuntu and now on Arch; it's really solid and nice to use, so thanks to the devs for all of the hard work.

One request that would make it even more intuitive to use would be the ability to search KCM's system settings. It could be added as a toggle in the Menu 11 settings, and would search through settings/menus in the KConfig Module.

This should be possible as the Application Menu widget is capable of such a search, though I don't know enough myself to implement it.

Please let me know if I can help or provide any clarification!

FileManager and SystemSettings Buttons In Footer

As pointed out in the screenshots on reddit, you're missing the File Explorer and System Settings buttons next to power. It's a bit complicated to launch an app by desktop id, but it's possible. I wrote this code in TiledMenu a few years ago so there might be a simplier way but here's the ways I figured out:

a. Scan Kicker.RootModel for the desktop file.
b. Create a Kicker.FavoriteModel and scan that instead.

The file manager Dolphin has the id org.kde.dolphin.desktop. We should probably be using xdg-mime/xdg-open to properly open the default file manager in case it's not Dolphin but I haven't bothered to do that in Tiled Menu so it's probably not an issue.

In tiled menu, I used the folder-open-symbolic icon for dolphin, and configure icon for system settings. The configure icon is "two switches" using the default Breeze icon theme, it's not a "cog" icon unfortunately.

Kicker.RootModel {
	// Kicker.FavoritesModel must be a child object of RootModel.
	// appEntry.actions() looks at the parent object for parent.appletInterface and will crash plasma if it can't find it.
	// https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/appentry.cpp#L151
	property var footerModel: Kicker.FavoritesModel {
		Component.onCompleted: {
			favorites = 'org.kde.dolphin.desktop,systemsettings.desktop'.split(',')
		}
	}
}

If you use a Kicker.FavoriteModel, I think you can just bind dolphin to rootModel.footerModel.triggerIndex(0).

Floating panel and other changes

I've been trying to take a look at Simple Menu's code and how it implements floating menu but I've been unable to do so in Menu11. I've tried several tricks but nothing seems to work and the plasmoid crashes.

Is it possible to implement the floating system from Simple Menu?

Menu appears on wrong monitor

I have two monitors. My primary monitor is on the right, with a secondary monitor on the left.

No matter what I try, Menu 11 will always appear on the left monitor. None of the options for Menu Position change this, though they do change where the menu appears - just always on the wrong monitor.

Using version 8.0

Errors

So I followed the instructions and I got this


Can Anyone tell me how I can fix it?

Buttons and footer are hard-coded

Hello,

Can you make the rest of UI style agnostic? Using a different plasma style does not change the appearance of the buttons or the footer like in Kickoff. Can you use the plasma style's buttons, like OnzeMenu:

Instead of the box, can the tab on the bottom use the plasma style's footer? Kickoff does this:

Crushing all the time in Kubuntu 22.10

Plasma 5.25.5

I love the configurations of this widget, it is perfect for me.

But as often happens in Plasma, the upgrades have made it unstable.

[Latte dock] Auto-hide stops working when menu is opened

If I click the app menu directly from Latte Dock with the mouse, there are no problems, but if I press the "Super" button on the keyboard, Latte Dock stops to auto-hide on maximized applications and I'm forced to close and reopen Latte Dock to make it work again.

Bug already reported (and confirmed) on: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441053

I've also attached a video that shows the issue.
