hello, the Quicklauncher places doesn't seem to be customizable. It crashed if I tried to add or edit entry. https://youtu.be/DHNEOnpKayI

Мне не нравится что после раскрытия "все программы" (all programs) меню меняет размеры и становиться шире. Я понимаю что это связано с названиями программ, но можно как то зафиксировать ширину? Ещё и "отступ" слева большой

Dear Nicko, thank you for the support. Now and is really now, the applets works as beautiful as it is. Great!
Felix-der-windows-kenner
I have a few suggestions for improvement: when you go to the all programs button, the start menu gets longer and looks broken, do it like windows, when you click on all programs, just show all the apps in a list instead of the favorites without categories . then the start menu just looks cleaner. Another possibility would be a list as described that is designed in such a way that there are already categories, but these are used as a drop-down menu. However, I think it would be great if, depending on which configuration you want, if you could choose in the applet settings whether the programs should be displayed one below the other in the all programs menu, as tiles like in Windows 10 or as dropdown categories. (Incidentally, I only use the "STARK-MENU", so this suggestion for improvement relates to the "STARK-MENU".)

I have been using Linux Mint with MATE desktop since 2015, when I migrated to Linux from Windows XP. I like MATE for many reasons. However, a couple of months ago I replaced my favourite DE with Cinnamon. While Cinnamon undoubtedly surpasses MATE in many ways, it also has some flaws, the main one for me being the system menu. MATE menu is more convenirent, that's why I replaced Cinnamon menu with CinnVIIStarkMenu (MATE mode). I still miss three features of the original MATE menu. 1. The option to open the menu with Favourites or All Programs displayed (Favourites is my choice). 2. Launching the selected app by hitting the Enter key (now it can be done only by clicking the app name with the mouse). 3. Two columns of Favourites insted of one (the menu grows too high when all my Favourites are in one column).

I don't know if this is just me, but I notice when I look through the all apps menu there is a weird visual bug where a random white shape flickers on the menu. This only happens in the CinnVIIStarkMenu when looking through all applications.

This applet is amazing! I just discovered it and I can highly recommend it for anyone who wants a simple, ordered and efficient start menu. As far as I can see it is maintained by a single user ('NikoKrause'). I do wish the source code for this applet contained more comments (in case official development is stopped it would make development by another user easier). I plan to use this applet as my main start menu from now on and would be gutted if development would stop at some point in the future. Keep up the good work!

I love this menu! I use it from the first day i had Linux! But i have a question. In windows you have an animated icon when you click or hover over the menu. Is it possible to create this on your menu? I have 2 icons already.. one for static, one if hovering over.

In cinnamon if I right-click on an app icon in the panel, and select Edit, and edit the name, for example, and click Ok, this does not seem to update any of my .desktop files that I can find. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks!

How is the best way to update the menu after edits occur to my .desktop and .menu files? I can restart Cinnamon, but wondering if there is another, faster way.

I love this menu. There is only one thing I am getting frustrated with. There is no way to customize the menu that I am aware of as far as Width - Height. It would be nice if we could customize it to fit our screens properly. I customized the side menu to only have the items I need/want and now the whole menu height is far to small. This has been an issue for a long time.
ACR-Jeff
ACR-Jeff-3 years ago
I found what I needed to change and set the height of the menu to my desired height. For anyone else interested due to the menu being too short for your preference. Steps I took: 1. Open Terminal cd to "~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/CinnVIIStarkMenu@NikoKrause/4.2" 2. "sudo gedit applet.js" (or replace gedit with your preferred text editor) 3. Locate/search for Line #2099 or text this.applicationsScrollBox.set_height(scrollBoxHeight); 4. Changes made "+ 200" for menu scroll box height was my desired height, You can change it to your desired height: this.applicationsScrollBox.set_height(scrollBoxHeight + 200); 5. Same steps above for Line "#2100" this.categoriesScrollBox.set_height(scrollBoxHeight); 6. Change to your preferred height his.categoriesScrollBox.set_height(scrollBoxHeight + 200); 7. Save and exit. Restart Cinnamon This was the easiest way I could find to get my desired height. It would be nice if their was settings within the Configuration to adjust the width/height to our desired usable size. Prior to this the menu was only showing a menu approximately half the height of what I set it manually.

I've been trying to recreate the look of the Windows XP start menu. I took some screenshots and thought you might find them useful. Maybe it's not in your scope, but in case you want this applet to be able to look like XP, there are a few differences (I used the b00merang XP theme). https://imgur.com/Tu31kkT.png I don't know if it's the theme or the applet that would need to make some adjustments. These would be: less padding between programs, user picture and name in top margin, power buttons in bottom margin (I'll look into these in my free time :P). Maybe separate favorite programs and frequently used programs. It's almost pixel perfect for Vista and 7 themes though.

I honestly miss most of Cinnamenu's features such as fuzzy search, web search, and the built-in calculator. To me, in the long term, it would be nice to see these two applets merged. Regarding your plans to simplify the settings menu, maybe make some of the settings collapsible?
NikoKrause
NikoKrause-4 years ago
Hey, thanks for your feedback. I just backported the new search from Cinnamons menu, which is a lot better compared to the previous search, and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not sure, which built-in calculator is used in Cinnamenu, but I'll take a look. You can enable search providers for CinnVIIStarkMenu to have a built-in calculator. I'll add some instructions later, how to enable that. Making settings collapsible doesn't change much codebase wise. By the way, the Cinnamenu is back. So nothing to miss there anymore :)
NikoKrause
NikoKrause-4 years ago
I've updated this applet to version 1.29. The main change in this version is a significantly improved search function (in Cinnamon versions 4.2+). Furthermore I started a poll to find out which settings of the applet are used a lot and which are don't used at all or which are barely used. This will help me to improve the applet. You find the survey on GitHub: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/issues/3249 Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Why isn't this page being updated? Why is the built-in applets manager still stuck with an very outdated and incompatible version? There is constant development and updates on the GitHub project, yet the maintainer makes no updates or announcements on here anymore. Yes, I know you can manually download the tarball from the project page and change a few lines with a text editor on a specific .json file, but that should never be expected of a desktop user. Applet updates should be seamless and integrated.
ak1dd
ak1dd-4 years ago
Thanks for this... really love it. A couple questions - is there a way to change the Quit menu icons? They don't match my theme and I think it would be slick to look more like symbolic icons. Second, is there a way to have the view always default to "All Programs"? I don't really use favorites as they are on my panel. Finally, how about a way to reduce the amount of white space? For example there is a lot of empty space between menu items and a big empty space to the right of the search box. Thanks again.

Sorry wrong link -- that was MY fork; the original location is... https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/master/CinnVIIStarkMenu@NikoKrause/files/CinnVIIStarkMenu@NikoKrause/metadata.json ...but the point is the same. The download link (and I should clarify that I mean the one HERE on Cinnamon Spices) is older.

As you can see here... https://github.com/ssepan2/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/master/CinnVIIStarkMenu@NikoKrause/files/CinnVIIStarkMenu@NikoKrause/metadata.json ... @kavalanche added the fix 2 days ago. However, it's not in the download link yet.
Stephen Sepan
Stephen Sepan-4 years ago
I'll also echo @bassistguy's comment about the Download link -- I pulled the version in that link before doing my edit and found that although the .json file did have 4.2, it did NOT have 4.4.
Stephen Sepan
Stephen Sepan-4 years ago
I've just upgraded to Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.3 Tricia (Cinnamon v4.4.5). Although the upgrade warned about the applet and no longer loaded it, following the advice by @bassistguy below, by downloading the latest, copying to the folder indicated, and adding "4.4" to the cinnamon-version line, as in ... "cinnamon-version": ["2.6","2.8","3.0","3.2","3.4","3.6","3.8","4.0","4.2","4.4"] ...allows the menu to load in Mint 19.3.

I've installed Linux Mint 19.2 MATE and try to install this including the workaround, but i cant choose this "applet"... Is it possible to use this applet in Linux Mint 19.2 MATE? I've used this Menu in Linux Mint 18.2 MATE and it works fine but i don't remember how i have it installed. Is there a difference between Cinnamon and MATE?
bassistguy
bassistguy-5 years ago
PLEASE NOTE: Before you try the workaround I posted, if you already attempted to download this menu via the "Add applet to panel" dialog, make sure to REMOVE it from the "Manage" tab first before attempting my workaround!! Just highlight CinnVIIStarkMenu and choose X at the bottom. Then start on the workaround below.
bassistguy
bassistguy-5 years ago
*Workaround for Mint 19.2, Cinnamon 4.2.x* It looks like NikoKrause already updated this menu for Cinnamon 4.2.x, but didn't point the Download link on this page to the update. To use this with Mint 19.2, do the following: 1. Download the applet (Orange Download link at the top of this page) 2. Extract the ZIP file and move the extracted directory to ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets 3. Edit the metadata.json file with a text editor 4. REPLACE the last line with the following and save the file: "cinnamon-version": ["2.6","2.8","3.0","3.2","3.4","3.6","3.8","4.0","4.2"] 5. Right-click on your panel and choose "Add applets to the panel" 6. You should now see the new, updated "CinnVIIStarkMenu" as an option 7. Choose it, and enjoy the best Cinnamon menu available :)

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

The MATE-Menu Layout of this applet has this behaviour.
Bertrand Pivaty
Bertrand Pivaty-7 years ago
I tried both Mate and Stark menu none of them gave me this behavior.
NikoKrause
NikoKrause-7 years 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

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

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!

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

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

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

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 ?

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.

"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.

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.
