Slingswarm is the GTK+3 version of Slingscold, i.e. a lightweight application launcher similar to Launchpad in Mac OS X. It is also Wayland compatible.
This project was originally forked from Slingscold:
Enter inside the build folder and execute cmake .. and after make.
Once installed set shortcut key to access Slingswarm.
- System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard Shortcuts > click Add
- Name: Slingswarm
- Command: slingswarm-launcher
Now assign it a shortcut key, such as CTRL+SPACE.
Note: Some themes don't have the 'application-default-icon'. Slingswarm needs to have this icon, so please download it from the FlatWoken icon pack and execute the following commands:
# cp application-default-icon.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
1.0
- Removed libunique dependency (for Wayland compatibility)
- Several code improvements and bug fixes
- Ported Slingscold to GTK3
