Slingswarm

Slingswarm is the GTK+3 version of Slingscold, i.e. a lightweight application launcher similar to Launchpad in Mac OS X. It is also Wayland compatible.

This project was originally forked from Slingscold:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/slingscold/

Compilation

Enter inside the build folder and execute cmake .. and after make.

Post Install

Once installed set shortcut key to access Slingswarm.

• System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard Shortcuts > click Add
• Name: Slingswarm
• Command: slingswarm-launcher

Now assign it a shortcut key, such as CTRL+SPACE.

Note: Some themes don't have the 'application-default-icon'. Slingswarm needs to have this icon, so please download it from the FlatWoken icon pack and execute the following commands:

# cp application-default-icon.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
