[KDE] MacOS like Start Menu
Want to have a MacOS style Start Menu? Here is how
Greetings folks,
In this post I will introduce my small built plasmoid for kde plasma which will add a MacOS like Start Menu. It is a modification of the default user plasmoid
The plasmoid is fully functional and should work on any version of plasma.
The Start Menu looks like this:
It has all mandatory functions that you may need at hand. Shutdown and Restart as well as Logout ask for confirmation by default.
The reference to this menu is the following:
You can get the plasmoid from here. Maybe I'll upload it also to the kde store if I find the time.
Installation is simple. Extract the folder to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids
Once done you can use it via the "Add Widgets" option. To get a icon instead of your name you need to change the settings like so:
You can use any icon you like, just make sure it fits.
If you have any questions just drop them below.

And before someone asks why not use a real Mac instead? I got one, but I don't like the Mac operating system in terms of usability, I however like the design of Mac.
Over and Out,
Aebian
