To add one more annoyance. Menu should have optional setting not to pop up on hover, but on click. Last night I edited something and menu popped many times as I pushed mouse out of editor window, so that I can see text without cursor, and left close to menu button. I switched to classic KDE style to turn off this.
Yes this is a good idea. I twice ended up typing into the search bar because the menu had popped up "by accident". Must keep the moving eyes though :-)
I have feeling that menu is too empty. It looks like the one on http://en.opensuse.org/Kickoff , but it is a lot of room that you have to drag mouse over, for nothing.
The search screen usage direction as default is bad, also, because it disappears right after mouse cursor touches favorites and user (me) has feeling that something was not right. First time I canceled menu and came back to it, just to see what happened. Favorites would be good default choice, instead.
Even better make tabs order configurable, default on first tab from left.
This is a good one.
It will be good if type of tab can be configurable too, instead of fixed. For instance I can live fine without logout options, they are present on right mouse button long enough to be automatic choice, but I have many favorites, that are now on the desktop, because I don't like scrolling. With configurable type of tab I will set two favorites tabs, and have little need to see the desktop, and even lesser to scroll that is counter productive to menu idea.
Information who is logged in could be put at the top of the menu window, just above search. That way mouse mileage can be kept low, login information will be present and menu will have title line: openSUSE User:konqui@klempnerai
I knew that something was missing. A title bar will split the menu from the background making it stand out a little better. If not a menu bar maybe a little more 3D sculpting would be very "low temperature".
BTW, from the Kickoff page: KDE Classic: Suse Linux Professional 10.1 with the common KDE start menu (KDE 3.5) KDE KickOff: Suse Linux Professional 10.1 with the new Kickoff start menu
