A Better Menu For The GNOME Desktop DistroTube Fly-Pie is a GNOME extension that let's you create your own custom menus. You can use it to launch applications, simulate hotkeys, open URLs and much more. The coolest feature, in my opinion, is how easy it is to navigate the menus either by clicking or by simply dragging the mouse. - https://github.com/Schneegans/Fly-Pie - Fly-Pie on GitHub - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNRwf1XBd8nkk1bpanemdg - Videos on Fly-Pie

Thank you very much for this video & your kind words! Just one note: For some reason, there were no animated transitions visible! Did you enable hardware acceleration for your VM? Fly-Pie can actually look much better than this :)
Btw, Fly-Pie 6 is also available on GNOME 3.3x, it's just Fly-Pie 7 which is no longer compatible with older GNOME versions.

But how to implement it well in touchscreen only devices? How to trigger it?? Long press? Icon hanging somewhere all the time? Drag from edge and release finger to reveal Fly-pie?
Or maybe always show up only on edge, being half form of present implementation (like Pie menu on Android by Xposed edge)?

Radial menus are only good for creative programs like krita where the interace is interacted with a stylus or pen.I can't personally see the appeal in a radial menu system that just speeds up how fast I can do stuff by like 2-3 seconds.It looks very good, don't get me wrong but this is not my cup of tea.

A replacement launcher needs to be quicker than typing the name of the application (or folder, setting etc) and/or easier than selecting from the apps grid. This might win on the latter test but is it better than ArcMenu?

I've been using GNOME for many year on Manjaro and have been using many extensions. Do they break sometimes? Sure. Do they get updated or replaced by something better? Sure. It's really not that bad.

How you made your dock to stay on? I like gnome, but there are 2 things that bothers me, one is to keep the dock on and second more important disable desktop from shrinking when i press super.

As someone who game devs/ plays a lot of games, this menu system is terrific to categorize specific projects and video games. This is a must have. Thank you DT :).

And one of the major advantage is ... the parameters of all the menus can be backuped on Json file ... and restored if we need. I think it'a very safety.

Hmm, now that is one great looking menu system! It looks good, seems to be highly configurable, and seems to work really, really well. Nice!!

An extension for duplicate the dock and add and icon for keyboard shortcuts. I scratch my head on this one. DRY Don't Repeat Yourself
