 Hi today, we are giving a look to another of zero and widgets, which is called the tiled menu Which is actually a widget that I've used for years because I really like its design. It's I think Inspired by the window stand menu, which I also find pretty So if we give it a look right now, it's pretty empty So let's go with the default tile layout because you need to know that it's very powerful And you can customize it in all sorts of way. So let's pick it up. So this is the default pretty simple we can resize it as you can see alt plus right click to resize the menu and It might be a feature that was actually removed. So I'm unsure whether you can actually resize the applet like that, but if you go into its settings You can see that it's possible As you can see to change it the width of the sidebar and so on But let's keep it here right now We can see that we have a list of most used application and then all apps by Their first letter if we click on the letter we get back to the list of letters So that's pretty useful for navigating the list very quickly Then we can also click on categories which brings us to the same thing but Ordered by categories again very useful and then here we've got quick links to documents pictures Dolphin in general and system settings plus power actions Again very similar to Windows 10 if you've ever used it, hopefully not On the red part we have the actual menu with your favorite applications and all the Categories that you've created and this is the cool part because you can customize this thing as much as you want As an example, let's drag in Console and as you can see all the scores appear to make me choose where I want it and say I want it here and See me as well cut off fish stuff like that, but of course it doesn't end here. We can also Open up the application of course, but that's not what they wanted to do. Sorry If we right-click here, we can see that we can edit the tile with this button and on the left We'll have all of the options relative to the to this tile so we can make it bigger smaller taller Anything we'd like to do we can also Remove the table if we don't like it. Usually I always removed it also the icon although I think the icon is Necessary we could put a background image, but I think the most useful thing is to use This thing we can pick a color from the application like this one and then I don't know make it a bit lighter or darker like this and We've got a very pretty tile. We can do it for console as well. So let's edit it the background color let's go for This gray but much lighter like this and let's also remove the label as far as Firefox goes and it's missing the icon because of some mess have made with the Application files, but let's put audit up. I don't have steam. So let's Actually have steam sorry, but let's take it off anyway And if we edit a tile we can remove the label again. I don't quite like labels I know the icons of my apps. So Let's pick this one a bit lighter like this and Lastly, let's make this one a bit wider. Sorry like this This one can move a bit to the bottom and this one can be a bit taller and then let's customize this one as well Let's take the label off and I think that this color is fine and then let's get back to the list of apps Let's also add audacity Here to the bottom and then I actually want it to be Like this and move here. You can have a prettier Color, so let's take the label off which is automatic for such I'm sorry for two by one Widgets, so let's take this blue, but again lighter And Let's make it a bit more light blue as well. Then what else do we have and actually let's make it one by three and Then next up inkscape again, let's put it here edit tile No more label as far as background color goes. Let's pick other archish. Let's pick this one. Let's be consistent like this and this trial can be slightly That's all so whoops as you can see We have customized our tile menu to have some very pretty tiles like I love this style It's very minimalistic and very pretty with all the background colors that are picked from the icon and We can do something else that I really liked back then which is to actually take off this section for now I mean, we can also search searching works. You have filters for all kind of key runners, but Let's go into settings and We can actually set the dimension of the sidebar and If we make it zero No, hurry With okay, so we can't go lower than 24. I think I got the wrong sidebar. Sorry wrong sidebar. I actually meant the up list like this We've got again very minimalistic Of course, we can edit this one as well and the sidebar will come back to let you edit it so it's like my Five apps because everybody knows that see make is my favorite application And then we close it and get back to this normal mode Which is super pretty and minimalistic. I mean Look at the earth. Look at this Super pretty. We can also customize the size of the search box, which is when you are sorry when you actually search your something Hello It's not searching, okay Sorry about that But in theory when you search you should have the search bar. Did I put it? Did I actually then accidentally remove the search bar? probably You know the back the backside of very powerful We just sees that it's very easy to mess them up So we've got also some option about the pop-up in general You can make it full screen if you like this sort of stuff for some reason We can choose the amount of grid columns Six is fine one two three four five six We can also choose the time margin, which is something I had fun playing with because when it's zero It's really pretty to see all the ties attached to each other But I think some margin is just as pretty and Then sidebar and there are shortcuts. We can add them like videos and then we can Do this which is super interesting as a concept Which is to actually export the layout and like send it to someone else So I can copy paste it and then if I open up Kate Sorry that I'm using kickoff still, but It's because I'm used to it. You can close now You can see that everything that we've done so far is back up here if we ever Reinstalled tile menu on another system or if we want to send our config to someone This is super useful because it has everything and We can also edit it so past our stuff and of course, let me get back and then we have a section or two because why not off keyboard shortcuts and Here it tells us that to make it open as default like a cough We need to set alt plus F1 as any widget if I put alt plus F1 to any widget it's going to open as menu and That's pretty much it. I think that is really powerful and back then I had some super cool Customizations, so let's actually try to see if I can get them back user Vegero So this is a rather simple one as you can see I had disabled the sidebar and also added my profile picture and then I had telegram Falcon on board keyboard and so on all here Here similar setup similar applications this one to actually write so now and You can see that here. I had a top panel with a super transparent look because I am very into super Transparency, which is why I made Plasma a bit more transparent from from 5.22 and so on and then finally here I had a bit more complex look with more application as always sidebar disabled and Super transparency on top plus notifications with this outer line black and my favorite desktop wallpaper of all times So as you can see super customized super customizable You can make it as you want and if you want somebody else to have this exact look Just copy paste the import export setting page and send it over to someone else And that's it It's super cool. Probably is one of my very best favorite widgets along with the event calendar
