Hi,

I was just curious:

Is there a way to replace the right-click-on-desktop menu of kde with an "applications" menu, sort of like the "use default kmenu" menu?

I never ever use the entries of the right click for anything, really. Shame for something as easily accessible.

Thanks.

There will be, in KDE 4.4.

cheers mate! I'm so falling in love with kde4 since it is slowly but certainly regaining the kde-strength of customizability.

To some thats Eye-Candy, to me it's usability. Making the desktop be the way I want it to be.

Here's a sneak preview for you (because of your positive attitude ):



Note that this probably isn't final.

Great work! That would be so sweet to have.

May I suggest something? Only some brainstorm, right now:

Display "favorites". This is something you get in the kde-menu: "add to favorites". Now why not use that as primary list. By doing so, one could keep the kde-menu "syntax" correct even with this mode.
So, the right-click menu would be equivalent to the Mainmenu:

right-click
- Fav1
- Fav2
- Fav3
- Fav4
- ...
- Seperator
- Applications >
- Places >
- History >
- Quit >

Just came to my mind, not really thought of all the consequences (or the workload it would cause *g*)

cheers.

I'm not the developer of this - it would be better if you suggested such things in Brainstorm.

Oh, I see.

Well, since you are a mod, how about just moving this whole thing, then? *g*
