Another KDE menu idea
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
This is another idea for the KDE menu. The user will be able to select his/her preferred applications for each of the tasks on the left. All the icons and positions will be customisable.
The download link only takes you to the XCF file - there is no code yet.

I typically put apps I'm likely to use alot on my kicker. I use the K-menu to retrieve lesser used apps or create a quickbrowser (eg. I have a seperate menu for my games).
It works like a charm.

Looks should be customizable. MANY people want eye candy. But, because of customizability, the eye candy can be left out and the menu can be just plain functional.
The XP menu (as far as I've seen it) would be a good basis. Easy access to recent applications is already integrated in KDE, but it's half way up the screen. If things like that can be improved, and customization or even theming of the menu is achieved, I think it can provide a great thing for anyone, from the "plain" desktoppers to the eye candy freaks.

horrible. I find that style annoying and confusing.
I dont understand why most things presented here are
ripoffs of other stuff.. but ripping off the really bad
stuff from Windows is sad.
Use your creativity and do something completely new...
and thin about usability!! and not looks

If kde would make something similar, we'd be ahead of xp and osx and they'd start copying from us!

Yhe idea of omproving the K-menu started with the uga's post "innovative". But is there really something innovative here?
Actually I don't like too much huge menus, but that's not the point. The point is that making these menus is, IMHO, just remarking the kde way of doing things.
Ok, MacOSX and WinXP may be beautiful OSs, and we have to learn a lot from them. But we can't just stay and make carbon copies of their ideas!!! Better, we could teke the best of their ideas and improve it. So, if someone likes the huge xp-menu, he could suggest different looks of these menus, if someone just want to put the "Change user" menu in the K (That I think is one of the best thing xp have introduced: user changing without logoff) so take this idea and improve it.
But, please, do not put a copy of xp menu and call it "Innovative".
Now waiting for critics!

Maybe it could be custumizable through Kcontrol so everyone is happy. Have it so you can turn on that portion of the menu. Kinda like the option to use the side kde logo on the menu
