I would like to make a suggestion. When I installed a bunch of different linux's on Virtualbox, the top 4 or 5 aren't being shown and I can't see them. Could you change the applet to use a way that is on windows a bar that can be used to move the installed vm's so that they can be seen or implement the group feature that is in Virtualbox or do both. Thank You!

Wonderful applet, thank you! But I need 2 clicks to start the machine. First on the name of the machine, then on the fly-out with the choice between Display and Headless. I will never use Headless and I am lazy. Please add a config where the first click starts the machine.

This is a great app. It allowed me to reduce clutter in my panel, and lets me quickly launch any VM I need. It also has a marker to indicate which VMs are currently running. Very useful.

linuxmint 19.1 Error (En) --startvm is an option of the VirtualBox machine executable file (VirtualBoxVM), and not the VirtualBox manager. (Ru) - --startvm является опцией исполняемого файла машины VirtualBox (VirtualBoxVM), а не мнеджера VirtualBox.
