 okay so yesterday I saw this post in reddit.com slash r slash kd which was about a new menu and I thought uh well that looks pretty cool I should give it a try so I did now I think that the menu is actually pretty good I want to give some good feedback and bad feedback I mean I want to give some good feedback about the good things and the bad things about the new launcher and I'm always really happy to see new launchers around so let's give it a try so I was first created by this which is not the best experience out of the box and to be honest I'm not sure what's happening it seems like the color scheme is not correct and that could be due to a variety of issues I won't go back fixing but I mean that's very easy to work around let's just switch to brisk dark and now it actually looks right now a couple of comments first of all it looks really good it looks really good I like I really like actually the idea of putting the favorite apps as some sort of cards or I don't know tags I really like them you can actually see both the icon and the name and they look like actually buttons that you would click on I like it I'm a big fan of kickoff but I also appreciate good launchers when I see them now the actual list of all apps is a bit long and the nice thing is that you should be able to apparently clicking on this thing as switches between categories I learned about this now sorry about that one thing I do like is that you do actually have a handmade let's see it like that plasma doesn't does this by default you do have a shadow here on the top to cover the elements this is very well done and one little bug is that there is the ability to scroll horizontally which you shouldn't have I don't know why you have this there's probably some elements some element which is slightly wider than it should be one thing that this menu does right is the fact that this top part here actually follows the theme so if I go here and change the plasma style to something else maybe something more transparent as this screenshot showed shown well it looks like that plasma theme and I can do I mean let's just look at it it's so pretty isn't it it's so pretty I just like it we can also switch to oxygen killing all the pretty no I'm just kidding but I think it doesn't quite look the same I think with Maya it works better and what else no really I do appreciate the fact that it does follow the plasma theme because it would be very easy to do this without following the plasma theme and I think it will look it would look worse and probably less consistent depending on the theme used by the user so plus one you can move this around and I find it truly funny that the profile picture like follows around with this animation like this is so funny I don't know why it's happening and to be honest I'm not even sure how it's implemented because in theory like making this floating profile picture is not something that it's allowed by the dialogue as far as I know by the way look at the transparency so this is probably like a window on its own I wonder if it's a way to find out I don't know what was it again let me try this out whoops okay so I'm not able sorry still as I was saying I think this should be like a window on its own or maybe a different dialogue which would explain why it's following this thing so weirdly maybe a completely different dialogue that would actually make sense the search let me say a couple of things about the search now the search does actually search for files and right now that's it by the way if you see some flickering don't worry it's just the recording it's not the menu but there is actually the ability to use krunner completely in any search bar even from third parties as far as I know I might be wrong but in theory if I type one plus one you should be able to see two if you implement Milo I think it's called search in this case it's not done so a suggestion to the developer would be try looking into that it might be something that would actually increase the functionality of the menu a lot without doing too much because all of the functionalities that are available in even krunner in krunner and even kickoff would be automatically here as well so as I've said I'm always really happy to see new menus I think this one looks good it has a couple of issues and bugs but it's nothing that can't be easily fixed I think so good job it's also consistent it makes me happy maybe for the bottom part one could have investigated the usage let me actually get back to breeze where is a breeze where is breeze plasma style please like this now if you see kickoff it actually has this top area and bottom area which are opaque and they are called plasmoid heading plasmoid heading and you can use them as a footer too so maybe this area could be a plasmoid heading maybe I think it could be another way of using plasma elements to make sure this is consistent and you can actually check if the plasmoid heading is implemented by the theme and use a fallback if it's necessary so that could be another way to improve and that was everything now I do have the animation with all of the people who donated to my patreon and everything because they do donate to my patreon and it's really important for me to say thank you even just through an animation at the end of the videos however in this particular video I'm not gonna say donate to me but rather you know go check out the project that I've just shown you go see who has done it I have personally not checked if there's any link to personal githubs and stuff but since this is just me showcasing others people work go check out the other people work rather than me so see you next video and go check it out go now bye
