Making a simple "Control Panel" like desktop application launcher

[anon222]

Hi misko_2083 
That's what I used to do, much cleaner panel.

Indeed, it is.

You might be interested in Anthony Nordquist's ducky-key which I use for my favourites, it's a bit like KDE's folderview.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

install git
Open a terminal in a directory of your choice
Copy/paste the next line into the terminal and press enter
git clone https://github.com/SalineOS/SalineOS.git

To update your cloned git repository, open a terminal in the SalineOS directory and run:
git pull

I have git and I have just pushed something.

I think the biggest culture shock for your average windows user is having to use a menu! instead of clicking on a short cut on the desktop that the application created when it installed, I'm hoping that Ikey will build this into his new PiSi software manager with an option/checkbox to create a desktop launcher when you install stuff, meanwhile he's scrapped six months of work up to a beta release as he's found a possible future problem with his new base something about lib64/lib32 and symlinks so he's starting from scratch again, can't help but admire the man, no quick patches his new Linux base is going to be a solid base to build off.

Nowhere near ready for users only techies but I agree with his rational https://evolve-os.com/wiki/Modernisation

Maybe I'm just a dreamer with his head in the clouds? but the future interests me and it looks a good bet.

Ikey is good fellow.
I like his 'budgie desktop'. Tested on Linux Lite and it still has a long way to go. Some bugs...
From scratch? It's going to be a long way to go for sure.
Thanks for the info Brian.
