applet-window-appmenu VS applet-window-buttons

Hi all, At the moment I am giving tumbleweed another go. I am installing all my app- even though I am using the rpm versions (I come from Kubuntu). Previously, with psifidotos' appMenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, I could use VScode with the global menu. However, now it seems to not be working any longer. Any ideas what might be going on?

The player widget is mediacontroller_plus and the global menu is applet-window-appmenu

If it doesn't work, don't uninstall the above packages and try this applet (it is easier to install it from the KDE store).

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

You could try this widget instead: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

Last time I used a global menu I used this applet https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu to get it working with GTK apps. Worked way better than the default applets.

I don't know ow the ins and outs of fedora and running scripts from the internet can end badly. If you're ok with that risk I'd look at the installation.md file. Near the bottom are directions for fedora.

Hey guys, new linux user here coming from windows. I have installed fedora and I am following a tutorial and it is asking me to install this. https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

Panels (stock plasma panels): Top (left to right): - Default app launcher - applet-window-buttons - applet-window-title - Default Global menu - Default Clock between two Panel spacers - Netspeed Widget (sysfs) - System tray - Virtual desktops pager

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

Use this and this one for Windows buttons

- Window buttons

The guy who created latte dock maintains a trio of widgets (https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title) which are just PERFECT for that purpose. They don't require you to run latte, but it helps if you have more than one screen.

Window Buttons Applet

I did not know about Active Window Control. The scroll wheel to max/minimize feature is really handy. I am using another simple widget called Window Buttons though. It is not feature rich unlike Active window control but it looks good and serves my basic purpose.
