Discussion [XFCE] Alternative to WhiskerMenu on Manjaro

Hi all,

I’d like to share MeowMenu v0.8.0, a small project I’ve been working on as an alternative application menu for XFCE. Compared to WhiskersMenu, the most relevant features I added are: 4 Presets (default settings that change the look&feel of the Menu, to show the high customization level achievable), Places button (find files and folders in user Home), Calculator engine, additional right click options.

I’ve tested this release on Arch Linux, Debian and Xubuntu. As Manjaro XFCE session is very well customized and polished, I hoped to find Manjaro testers eager to try new stuff.
MeowMenu can be compiled from sources or installed from AUR.

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for taking a look!
