It is definitely better than the default app launcher. I really liked the Black Menu, something Google themselves should have build. You can remove/add Google products and it even lets you customize the icons. It works in the same way, except you don’t have interactive panels here. Unlike the one we saw earlier, this extension only holds shortcuts of Google services. If you’re not looking for something this comprehensive, Carlos Jeurissen, the developer behind Black menu offers another extension called “ Shortcuts for Google”. If you don’t prefer the extension being limited to a corner in Chrome’s toolbar, you can choose to open it in a panel and use it as a standalone application. You can even get “Unread counts” on app icons of Google+ and Gmail through the settings option. You can also choose click instead of hover to open an app window if you don’t like the default functionality. On the right-hand side, you’ll find “General Settings” category that holds a couple of useful toggles including a white theme option. I personally adore the Hangouts add-on, it’s a great way to use the messaging platform without actually leaving what I’m working on. You can add and remove items for the panel through the extension settings. You can open the Black Menu directly by pressing Ctrl+B (works only in latest Chrome builds). Although, you cannot preview the content like for others, clicking them will take you to their websites. At the end of the list, you’ll find the “more” option which will reveal all the Google products.
To switch Google accounts, click on your name and it will reveal all the available profiles. Black menu isn’t limited just to the corner, you can pull out a particular service in a separate panel by tapping the little arrow icon right to the search box. If the default arrangement doesn’t suit your needs, the extension allows you to reorder items through drag and drop functionality.
(for an app pointing to with google_mail.png in ~/.local/share/icons): StartupWMClass=mail.google.#. desktop file (located into ~/.local/share/applications) with gedit or any other text editor the file should contain: StartupWMClass=$APP_WM_CLASS_Found_on_step_2 Get your chromium app window WM_CLASS with xprop | grep WM_CLASS | awk '' (if it's just "Chromium Browser" or something similar you need to update chromium).Įdit that.desktop file for the application Menu too (if you don't want you to create one by scratch). But in the current state of chromium you need to do some hacking to make it support this easily:
With daily chromium builds and recent BAMF you can (if you look closer to that screenshot, you can see an example with my site and high-res icon).
