This is an improved fork of KDE Plasma's Kicker Dash Application Dashboard which is a fullscreen application launcher. The design is simplified while improving search features and customizability.

Powerful Plasma Search

The search bar uses Plasma Search, which is the same search provider used in Krunner, Kickoff Application Launcher and the Overview effect which supports powerful search plugins and providers.

NOTE: The initial codebase was copied from Kicker Dash which can be found in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickerdash/, on every Linux system that has KDE Plasma installed.

Prerequisites:

Get it from

or

If you have download the file, extract it, open a terminal in the directory containing the `metadata.desktop` file and execute the following command:

kpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Applet --install

Changes made over default Kicker:

  • Removed the favorite applications shown in the side bar and are now shown in a dedicated menu category
  • Removed the widgets tab
  • Ability to enable or disable the Favorites menu category.
  • Powerfull and improved search: The search bar now supports all the features of Plasma Search or Krunner
  • Unified design: Removed unnecessary separators. Every component now shares the same background and looks cleaner
