  1. A little advice, vertical list should also use the plasma style as the horizontal one. I think they should share the exact same code in order to reduce the code to maintain and consistency.

    By the way, does keyboard navigation works? (not only accelerator but also left, right)

    1. Vertical is just a QMenu so there is no code to maintain...

  2. what is the relation of your work to kubuntu's appmenu widget? http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/kubuntu-netbook-1010-application-menu.html

    do you know what is stopping this widget from being adopted by upstream, and hence get to distributions other than kubuntu?

    1. Old style problems:
      - Appname in button is a hack
      - Redundancy with window menu (application icon)
      - Displaying "Menu" was quite ugly

      But any style author is free to do what he wants with this part :)

  5. I'm sorry you think that "Menu" was ugly..
    I find it better looking with app icon and text than current button.
    I also find it more intuitive for use than generic button.

    How about leaving options for some user customization (text, icon), without having to change the actual style. Par of KDE philosophy is configurability, while i know it can cause clutter, this would be pretty advanced option so regular users wouldn't be in contact with it.
