Kmenu (idea)
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
My idea of how Kmenu should look like. It appeared while trying to figure out what in KDE I want to see improved and in what way. Hope no further explanations are needed. But if needed - I'm working over a file titled "Impressions on KDE". In this file I'm trying to figure out what in KDE needs improving and in what direction. Hopefully I'll upload the first part of this file anytime soon.
Oh! I was to forget - the download link is just an archive of the screenshot pictures. Only the format is different - xcf.

I think that any user must be able to write his own UI file in QT Designer. And this user... not must know anything about slots, signals etc (do you understand me?).

OK, so I click the 'Games' group. Lets say I have about 40 games. What then? The menu will show all in one long bar? I wouldn't like that. But I like the idea to modify the K-Menu :)

It would even be a good default. Currently to much software shows up in the menus and some distros are making the sublevel of the menus too deep. This seems to fix both problems.

To clear out the options one will never or seldom use from the main menu, and second - to minimize the movements with the mouse (my MDK has two levels of sub menus, so when trying to reach an app, I have to open menus cowering at least half the width of my screen).
This is a simplified menu for mortable users. It does not intend to satisfy the requirements of power users.

I am reading the ideas that some friends are sending for the KDE team and man... KDE 4 will be the awesome desktop environment that you ever saw!
But this idea should be good for that users that wanna have some small menus, or just the menus that uses a lot(like my dad... :P He hates that menus with too many options that he never will use... a old habit from his windows user days...)

IMO its not good to change the gui behaviour for not much benefit.

Second I can think of no elegant way to handle the equivalent to submenus. Representing a hierarchy there would be pretty messy.

default: NO thx
it is good as a feature for advanced users but bad for default for newbies either to KDE or computer (it will just confuse them)
over the details: the hover slide should be fast, really fast (faster than the submenu pop-ups) to make it usable
it should not just replace the first level sub-menus of the K menu, it should have multiple dynamic categories
(most used apps, last used apps, last installed apps (

most used apps, last used apps, last installed apps (difficult but possible), last modified documents, last viewed document, last -directory- entries (--used for apps like amule that download the files into a specific directory))
hope it's not much :)

Because the downsize of this idea is that you can have tons of software like you can in a hierarchival menu. once you have more then 5 categories with 10 items each, managing this kind of menu would be really dificult.
