A Wayland application to quicky search for and launch applications installed on your system. It looks for .desktop files in '~/.local/share/applications', '/usr/share/applicartions' and '/usr/local/share/applicartions'. It was tested on Debian 12 on Wayfire.
- Quickly search for the installed applications.
- Launch the application on Enter key press.
also you need to install the following libs:
make
pkgconf
librsvg2-dev
libcairo2-dev
libwayland-dev
libxkbcommon-dev
libc6-dev (spawn.h)
on Debian run the following command:
sudo apt install make pkgconf librsvg2-dev libcairo2-dev libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev libc6-dev
after going through all the above steps, go to the next step in this tutorial.
-
Open a terminal and run:
chmod +x ./configure ./configure -
if all went well then run:
make sudo make install (if you just want to test it then run: make run) -
Run the application:
diowapplauncher
The application creates the following configuration file
.config/diowapplauncher/diowapplauncher.conf
add the full path to your current theme directory, e.g.:
icons_theme=/usr/share/icons/Lyra-blue-dark
any change in the configuration file requires application restart, right click on the panel will close the panel after that launch it again.
That's it!
