cinnamenu's Issues

List view pane does not expand horizontally to match search entry width.

Cinnamenu version: 3.2.2
Mint 19
Cinnamon version: 3.8.7

Hi,

This issue is present on any theme that set a specific width for #menu-search-entry. It's not too distracting on Mint-Y and Mint-X where the 'gap' is fairly minimal, but can be quite offputting for themes that set a large width

Pics below are from Adapta and Mint-Y and demonstrate the issue. Ideally I think the list view pane should expand if necessary so the scroll bar is always against the right edge of the menu as a whole.

Cinnamon 4.0.1 + Cinnamenu 4.0.1 - custom menu icon fails to load on restart.

Hi,

On initial log-in or following a Cinnamon restart Cinnamenu fails to load a custom set panel icon. Re-loading or changing the theme will bring it back.

The issue doesn't appear to affect the stock menu or the stark menu using the same custom icon. I've tried with all three menus active and individually with several different icons.

Does not appear to be related to icon sizing - it happens with a fixed icon size set in the panel settings as-well as scale optimally.

Favorites position

Favorites is the last item. If the panel is on top of screen, to reach any Favorite entry you have to transit over other categories.
Make it configurable, bottom or top of categories list or alterantively, make it just just a icon list on the left,as in the previous incarnation of this applet.

App list highlight padding needs adjustment

Category list and app list had different padding which is a bit distracting. Please adjust the padding for app list.

delay and jump on menu opening

When I open the menu, there is a visible delay till the grid/list appears:

Notice also as a result of this: The height of the menu changes. (The menu jumps)

Cinnamenu doesn't always show content of categories

Cinnamenu doesn't always show content of categories when mouse pointer hovers over.

Mostly occurring with the "Graphics" menu. (Or any other next to the top placed menu)

I've setup the taskbar at the top, using default Cinnamenu values.

What happen is; I open up Cinnamenu and move the mouse pointer downwards over the categories, first "All applications" and then downwards to "Graphics", but the content isn't always shown, it's still showing the content of "All applications".

I can then move further down to "Internet" and the content of that is shown, and if I move back up to "Graphics" I'm able to view the content there now.
(Sometimes it skips the next category too, so I have to move the mouse pointer down to the fourth category from the top, and then back up to view content)

If I move the mouse pointer up and down through the categories, touching the LM logo when the mouse pointer is at the top, it will sometimes show content of the "next to the top" category and sometimes it needs a little nudge.
If I don't hit the Cinnamenu LM logo when moving the mouse pointer up and down through the categories it shows the content of the categories.
(That is once that the 2. and 3. content menu from the top has already been displayed.)

Important observations:
If I aim the mouse pointer at the category icon then the content is always shown, it only occurs when hovering on the text of the category.

But if I select not to show category icons it more often shows the content of the categories as intended when the mouse pointer hovers over the category text

System:

• Cinnamon version 4.09
• Distribution - Mint 19.1 64 bit
• nvidia gtx 760 driver 390.116

Question - Theming the app right click menu box

@jaszhix

Hi,

Can you point in in the right direction of the css Class that controls the theming of the menu box that opens on right click of an app that gives the option to Add to Panel, Add to Desktop etc.....?

It's driving me nuts trying to work it out...

Thanks...

Cinnamenu search entry box doesn't expand to allow for theme set padding.

Hi - a bit of context - I'm experimenting with a theme will the ultimate aim of making it end-user configurable via a companion applet and rebuilding the theme using sassc. One of the configuration options will be spacing and one of the elements that is modified by spacing is the padding for the menu search entry. It looks like Cinnamenu hardcodes a maximum height for this though so at 'larger' spacing values the text can be cut off.

You might have good reason for this - the 'larger' values I'm testing aren't really suitable for my screen res anyway so it could be that an end user with a greater resolution wouldn't see the same issue with the same theme.

The pic below is with a theme were the #menu-search-entry set with padding: 8px 10px. For comparison also see a pic of the stock menu with the same theme. Font size in the theme is 1em; My fonts across the board are 10pt.

Allow to set special positions for Cinnamenu specific category items

Currently there is no way to change the position of Bookmark, Places, Favourites, All applications, settings, usermenu (login, logout, details ,..) options. (Not the order of the items inside, but the "special menu categories")

It would be great if these could be orded custom. I use Cinnamenu e.g. from the top, where Bookmarks on top feels bad, and recent items would help me a lot. Currently I e.g. have to go very down to get to these.

pixelated icon

The icon is only 32 px.
In SystemSettings > Applets it looks pixelated. Also on spices website.
You can use a better resolution. Here's the svg file of the icon:

too much empty space in list view

See the red rectangles in the screenshot below

The original menu uses resizeApplicationsBox

deactivate hovering over category, while searching

When I start searching and then accidentally hover over a category, while trying to move the mouse to a search result, the search will get cleared.
The original menu prevents this by deactivating the category hover (the categories get grey, when you search for something).

List view right click menu rendering outside of menu view.

Hi - using a theme with a min-height: 22px; set in .menu-application-button & .menu-application-button-selected causes Cinnamenu display corruption in grid view.

Stay in searched item list when using arrow keys

Currently when the search list is open and arrow keys are pressed the next element is chosen from the whole applet's UI. It would be nice if the navigation could stay inside the search results. So when I press e.g. down when the UI is like in image below, it should select Libreoffice Base instead of going to the User-Menu on the very bottom left. Also when pressing left on the first item (Firefox Nightly in this case) it should jump to the last item, currently it does nothing.

Just an Idea: Maybe the UserMenu can be deactivated completly when search results are shown. Then the tab button could be used to go through the search results.

This issue may contain some subjective stuff, but that's what come to me from usability

Category box gets cropped on lower resolutions

Allow to set position of sidemenu

Currently (3.0.2) there is no way to set the position of the sidemenu, it's just always left. Would be really nice if it could be placed on the right side too.

Create up to date default PO file for translations

Some of the options are taken from the standard applet, and many of the options were removed from Gnomenu, but their translations still remain. Needs to be sorted out.

improve searching

The searching is weird.
E.g. I get for systeminfor 10 results and for systeminformation 12 results.

Feature request - Cinnamenu specific customStyleClass

Hi Jaszhix,

Would you consider setting an additional Cinnamenu specific customStyleClass in a similar way to the stark menu?

It would make it a lot easier to apply specific Cinnamenu theming when necessary. It's particularly problematic getting the Cinnamenu right click context menu to match the stock menu or stark menu without some css gymnastics and this change would make that a lot less problematic.

Thanks.

Excerpt from the stark menu applet.js......

this.menu.setCustomStyleClass('menu-background');
this.menu.setCustomStyleClass("starkmenu-background");

improve grid

The icons don't stick to the grid, if less then 5 icons:
See

Compared to

The buttons are wider. The scale by available space is turned off. I.e. the icon buttons should have a fixed size in every category, no matter how much icons there are in a category.

Cinnamenu doesn't work on Linux Mint 19 and cinnamon 3.8.9

I am using Linux Mint 19 and cinnamon 3.8.9.
I installed Cinnamenu and restart, but it doesn't work. It shows below message in mouse hover(in the setting-> applets):

This applet contains function calls that could potentially cause Cinnamon to crash or freeze. If you are experiencing crashes or freezing, please try removing it.

Custom menu button icon name cannot be blank

When the icon name filed is left blank, the name changes to the default value - "Menu". I can't disable the icon name and have just the icon.

Escape does nothing

On 3.0.1 the pressing the escape key does nothing while the menu is open. I expected it

• to clear search input (if there is any, else skip this)
• close menu

Cinnamenu empty

When I open the menu, all I get is a small, empty dropdown rectangle.

Here are the .xsession-errors messages after installation and activation of Cinnamenu:
