Now then Tasty menu (or its tooltip) is open it no longer steals the mouse and keyboard input.
Plus fixed some other mini issues and there is a new shiny Finnish translation by Tommi Nieminen.
Get it while it’s hot!
Another bugfix for the menu

Beware the "Mighty?" 1.0!
Not having spotted particular problems in the rc2, since I’ve received a new (French) translation (thanks to Laurent Hilsz!) I’ve decided to release it as 1.0, you can download it here.
I’m pretty happy how it has come along, of course I will continue to mantain it with bugfixes or translations, but at the moment i consider it more or less “complete”
Maybe some day I will embark in a kde4 port, maybe making it a little Plasma thingie, but since I’m finishing university, uncertain rules, we’ll see 🙂
Tasty Menu 1.0rc2
Made a little bugfix release, you can get it here 🙂
First alpha of Polyester2
So I’ve decided to stop procrastinating and release a first alpha of Polyester 2 into the wild 🙂 you can get it here
some veeery important notes:
- First of all it must be considered a very early alpha quality code not intended for everyday use, it could blow up your computer or eat your cat, use at your own risk 😛
- as i said is not very stable and probably not all configuration option works
- at the moment there is only the style, i don’t know if or when i will port the window decoration
- it can be compiled with cmake (and you will need a kde4 snapshot o do so) typing
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=whathever you want
make
make install - or with qmake (you will need only qt4 with devel package, but you won’t get the configuration dialog)
in order to use qmake you must go in the style subfolder and type:
qmake qmake.pro
make
make install - probably i won’t release another release tarball for quite some time, but if you’re curious there is a bazaar repository at the bazaar repository
Tasty Menu 1.0 rc1
Second release in two days 🙂 At this point I consider it pretty much feature complete, at least for KDE3, if there will ever be a kde4 version it will be more or less a total redesign, let’s see…
This release fixes only one bug but probably the most annoying: now the search field should be so much faster that it can be used for real 🙂
Get it while it’s hot 😛
Tasty Menu and Polyester tiny releases
Added Ukrainian translation to Tasty Menu thanks to Motsyo Vitaliy and a tiny bugfix into the configuation dialog of Polyester.
KDE4 in a Polyester dress
The Qt4 version of Polyester is coming along nicely, is still too unstable for a first release but i hope an alpha isn’t too far.
Here you can see a KDE4 beta1 screenshot as it appears with the Polyester theme.
As you can see it won’t be exactly identical to Polyester1, because I want to experiment some of the new goodies offered by qt4, so maybe in the future it will be even more aesthetical changes, i don’t know.
If you are impatient to try it there is always the bazaar repository on launchpad.net/polyester
Tasty Menu 0.9
Updated today the poor ol’Tasty Menu, I basically added the last big feature that was missing: drag and drop from the menu to the desktop, and the usual refinements/bugfixes here and there. From now on I think I will only make bugfixes releases, maybe some day will begin to think about a kde4 port, but don’t hold your breath 🙂
Oh, and i’ve made also a little website for it.
The mandatory changelog:
-“Add to desktop” option in menuitems
-Drag and drop from menu to desktop
-Option to set different icons sizes in the three columns
-the button text label should always be of a visible color
-most used/recently used applications list updates in realtime
-clear most used/recently used applications list
-(warning1: deleting one list deletes also the other)
-(warning2: if you use opensuse you must have kickoff reverted to classic kmenu in order to use the recently used/most used lists)
-updated russian and german translations
Polyester2 updates
Polyester 2 seems to come along quite nicely, at the moment it look a little bit less disastrous than the first screenshot, but most important if you are impatient to try it, now there is a Bazaar repository at Launchpad.
Curious to see how it looks? here it is:)
Oh, and speaking of repositories, there is also a Tasty Menu repository on Google’s svn
Polyester 2: the mighty future!
I’ve started porting Polyester to qt4/kde4, it has been a nightmare even to get it compiled and it will be a very very big pain in the ass.
Curious to see a very very early screenshot? here it is 🙂
as you can see at the moment the only things that looks decent are the buttons, the rest is a little bit… aehm 🙂
