I like this applet so much that I use it twice - on two panels! It's a shame that once I've configured one I have to configure the other (as against there being some way of copying the configuration). Also, I find that typing into the button for the 'quit' text is extremely slow - on a very fast laptop. It takes more than five seconds for some of the letters to show up.

My favorite Cinnamon menu by far. Great work! Thanks.

Hugo Meireles Gonçalves-3 months ago

Clicking on "configure" does nothing. Version 1.1.7 Debian Sid

Adeel Akram-1 year ago

The following Message appears if Mouse is clicked/kept on extreme lower left corner near @ Menu of CinnVIIStarkMenu (I am using "Hot Corners" Applet to Run a Command on lower left corner): Execution of " failed: Text was empty (or contained whitespace) This message should not be triggered if there is nothing to execute in the "Hot Corners" settings... Similarly anything that has spaces in parameters should be handled without triggering this message. All else is working perfectly... Keep up the good work !!! I am using version 2017-11-16

oxydium-1 year ago

I find that an option is missing to enable or disable tooltips in programs navigation. with this extra option, the applet would be perfect :)

Great applet. Thanks.

Can't wait for the 3.6 version. Just got upgraded from 3.4.2 to 3.6.0 and sadly it doesn't work now.

NikoKrause-1 year ago

I have updated CinnVIIStarkMenu for Cinnamon 3.6. You just need to update the applet now.

James Upson-1 year ago

Hi Craig, it's working for me on 3.6.1, after a bit of jiggery pokery.

Bertrand Pivaty-1 year ago

This is a great applet. I however have one suggestion: it would be nice that if one select All Programs, whether you start an app or close the menu, re-opening the menu should be back with favorites. Or maybe at least make it configurable.

NikoKrause-1 year ago

The MATE-Menu Layout of this applet has this behaviour.

Bertrand Pivaty-1 year ago

I tried both Mate and Stark menu none of them gave me this behavior.

NikoKrause-1 year ago

MATE-Layout: Remembers which section (»All Programs« or »Favorites«) was open and shows this section next time you're opening the menu. Stark-Layout: Always shows the »Favorites« section on menu opening. If that's not the case please file a new issue on the following page: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/issues

Bertrand Pivaty-1 year ago

It works well as you said with Stark layout. Don't know why it did not work before. Nice applet. I like it.

CottonEaster-1 year ago

This fine applet seems to be having problems on my Mint 18.2 Cinnamon system. For details, please see the bug report here: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6739#issuecomment-31871833

The applet is working well on Mint 19.1 and indeed better than the official Mint menu applet. Kudos to the developer of CinnVII!

Henkel256-1 year ago

Work with Mint 17.1, very good. Thanks.

ACinnamonUserInUK-1 year ago

Very nice. Polished. Good work. Thank you.

kreha1-1 year ago

Thank you for this menu. Do you plan on adding win10-like menu layout? Would love that applet even more. Thanks again :).

NikoKrause-1 year ago

No it hasn't. If you are looking for a menu applet with fuzzy search, try the Sane Menu by nooulaif: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/258

Zerophase-1 year ago

Does this have fuzzy search?

Reaw-1 year ago

To solve the 'Super-R' issue opening the wrong menu, you have to restart Cinnamon ! (Alt+f2 then type r and enter).

Reaw-1 year ago

I like this menu a lot, but when I press the the 'Super-R' button, it still opens the default menu and not this one, even if the default menu applet isn't activated. Any idea on how to solve this ?

Steve Murphy-1 year ago

A lot to like with this menu, but for me there are a couple of deal breakers that stop it being my first choice of alternative to the stock menu. I don't like that the menu doesn't maintain a consistent width moving through program categories and it suffers some issues with brief text corruption scrolling trough program categories on my system. Stock menu does the same, but there are other choices on Spices that don't.

NikoKrause-1 year ago

"The menu doesn't maintain a consistent width moving through program categories..." That was a bug. The menu should has constant width now. "... and it suffers some issues with brief text corruption scrolling trough program categories on my system." I'm not sure, what you mean by "brief text corruption". But scrolling through categories has been improved as well.

Steve Murphy-1 year ago

Hi NikoKrause. The text corruption issues seem to be cured with Mint 18.2/Cinnamon 3.4 and the menu width is all good now. Have been using this for a few weeks now as my default. All good. Thank-you.
