Simple Menu launcher on KDE Store Simple Menu v1.0 Quite a while ago already I wrote a launcher menu widget named Simple Menu. It's using the same backend I wrote for our bundled launchers, and it's a little bit like Application Dashboard scaled down into a small floating window, plus nifty horizontal pagination. It's also really simple and fast. While some distributions packaged it (e.g. Netrunner Linux), it's never been released properly and released - until now! Starting today, you can find Simple Menu on the KDE Store and install it via Add Widgets... -> Get new widgets in your Plasma. Please note that Simple Menu requires Plasma v5.9 (to be released tomorrow). Actual v5.9, not the v5.9 Beta - it relies on fixes made after the Beta release. |

Hmm, did you read the blog to the end? Simple Menu really does require v5.9! :) The error is about new v5.9 API it's using (among others).

OMG i was looking/waiting for some "simple"/ Clean menu. THANK YOU!
Really not bad!
If one could have wishes ... I wish the list of categories were on the left hand side to reduce mouse travel. I wish the list of categories could have a "recently opened" and/or "favorites" entry (pre-selected by default).
