Switched From the Whisker Menu to the Application Menu

Unread post by lakes »

Turns out the Whisker Menu (the default start menu on Linux Mint's XFCE desktop) is just a plugin & the start menu for XFCE usually looks like this instead:

I thought it looked cooler, at least with a skeuomorphic theme, but the only downside is that the text & icons are wayyy smaller than what I'm used to.
Edit: Nvm I can just make the application menu have bigger text by going into the appearance settings.

I dunno why but your desktop reminded me of Ross Scott's desktop from 2020. You know, the guy that lead the Stop Killing Games campaign.

Idk much about the guy but that is a pretty cool desktop ngl. If I had to guess, maybe it's the little menu when he rightclicks the wallpaper & the wallpaper's the lack of icons.
