    [DESKTOP] I have become enamored of the Dashboard menu

    as opposed to the "classic" or the Kubuntu / classic (larger) applications menu.

    The "lately used" items are right in front of my face.

    The favourites are right in front of my face to the left.

    As opposed to having to "work through" sub-menus to go after a little used app..

    one needs only to click the "all applications" (large btw) button and then scroll wheel down and sweep left to the large (btw) app link.

    it works especially well with the large screen t.v. and the airmouse.

    +1 for the Dashboard menu.

    I have it installed in my K16.04. It's brilliant ... easy to find stuff very quickly.

        Wanted to show all y'all what I'm using - the one thing I missed when moving back from *box to KDE was lack of a customizable service menu for the desktop.

        Took me a half hour or so to get the dependencies satisfied as documentation only supported RH and SuSE, but it looks like this -



        I have to add entries to the root menu by editing kickoffrc, but it works for me.

        we see things not as they are, but as we are.

          I also like the dashboard and use it rather than the other two alternatives. Wizard10000, your desktop looks a lot like the antiX desktop, which I unsuccessfully tried to install on a virtual machine in my netbook.
