What’s New?

MenuLibre 2.0.7 is a bugfix release and 2.1.0 builds on top of that release with several improvements.

  • Support launcher subdirectories (LP: #1313682)

2.1.0

  • Updated artwork, courtesy of Simon Steinbeiß
  • Refactored several components to improve code quality and maintainability
  • Exit with Ctrl+Q
  • New widgets: GtkApplicationWindow, GtkHeaderbar, GtkStackSwitcher
  • Improved Name and Comment entry
  • Improved Executable and Working Directory entry
  • Improved theme integration with Adwaita and elementary
  • Removed deprecated widgets and properties (Gtk 3.14)
  • Removed intermediate icon selection

Screenshots

MenuLibre can no longer be run as the root user.
MenuLibre now uses a Headerbar and says goodbye to several custom widgets.
GtkEntries support clickable action buttons, which MenuLibre now fully utilizes.
The intermediate view when selecting an icon is now gone, removing a needless step.
Search is still fast and produces relevant results.
Without the custom widget mess, MenuLibre now shines with the Adwaita GTK theme.
