KMenu launcher mod
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
A nice KMenu Button that uses klauncher.png in the "icons" path and resize itself to use the icon dimension...
kbfx is dead ! ;) My hack work perfectly under NX and in every part of the screen without any dirty dcop command like popupKMenu or showKMenu.
You can use kbfx klaunch icons!
Without klauncher.png in /usr/share/icons/* KMenu works like before
With klauncher.png in /usr/share/icons/* KMenu works like you have ever wanted
You can download a source diff file

I like this much than kbfx...
kbfx looks ugly (for me)...
I patched KDEBASE 3.4 and works
fine... i thought wouldn't..
Some suggestions:
-- Can you use different Icons?..
-- like 32, 64, 128 to adjust size whenever taskbar changes..
-- you can name this klauncher32, klauncher64, and install a hook when the taskbar changes to reload the correspondent Bitmap...
May be to load a bitmap for the taskbar background an then this will shine... I Loved!!
If you think i can help just get me an introduction to what you do and i can code this myself and mail it to you for inclusion...
Sorry for my english!!
Bye..
Good Work

I'm working hard on the next version and I hope that someone will create a debian/kubuntu package.

Please be patient, with the new patchset I'll try to make debian packages even if you can download kicker sources from apt and patch them.
However, that's the power of Gentoo. Create and deploy source patches rapidly without problems ;)

If I click on kbfx button, my mouse cursor disappear and move to the top left of the kicker to be able to call and show properly KMenu.
Kbfx developer has done a good job but I wanted more... so I've merged his code with kicker code.

KMenu style will be refreshed in the next KDE releases, so I leave this work to kicker maintainers.

I like the idea and if you accept I'd like to make some suggestions:
- Have an option in kicker configuration to enable/disable klauncher.png instead of having to create/delete it each time.
- Package the buttons in a compressed pack which will include 3 states buttons and Internationalizied versions including Right-to-left languages.
- Make possible to have text (Rich Text?) on the image instead of add it IN the image ( This will internationalization easier )
- Use SVG ( Very important, if implemented the user won't have to resize kicker bar )
- Animated SVG to have better FXs ?

I copied the png image as klauncher.png as you've suggested. What am I doing wrong?
