wbar-menu

This is a menu application manager.

Requirements:

• python3
• gtk4 python bindings
• wlrctl (needed to open and close; an internal method is alse present, but it has some lag in opening/show)
• wayland

Features:

• execute or integrate in other applications (or use a keybinding) the file wbarmenu_toggle.sh to have the open/close functionality;
• bookmarks: just right click on an application and choose yes to add it; right click on an bookmarked application to remove it; the bookmarks can be dragged around;
• application searching integration;
• launchs only terminal applications, if a terminal is setted;
• custom buttons for logout, reboot and shutdown; and to launch a menu editor (a script for menulibre is already present);
• the list of the applications will rebuild automatically (this behaviour can be changed: in this case the menu must be rebuilt manually - a button will appear at left);
• the open/close functionality uses a simple fifo file (the command are: __exit to close the program; __toggle to open or close the program);
• graphical configurator for all its options;
• a css file for changing the application theme.

May have some unknown issues.
