gtk3-mushrooms VS menulibre

It is not about KDE/Breeze, from what I have read, the issue is with GTK(3.) One fix, not 100%, but almost pefect fix is to switch out GTK3 with GTK3-Classic.

GTK3 does indeed suck. That's why I run it with these patches.

Unfortunately they also lost tons of functionality in the process. The fact that typing on a file picker starts a recursive search instead of simply jumping to the file/folder with the prefix you typed, is nothing short of hilarious.

Gtk-classic is the only thing that keeps me sane https://github.com/lah7/gtk3-classic

The KDE Server-Side Decoration is also really powerful, allowing easy Maximize Horizontally/Vertically, window shading/hiding, and moving windows between virtual desktop/workspace, all while being able to be hidden when maximized for that extra screen space when I'm on my old 768p laptop and why I use gtk3-classic to get that SSD. Also, Window Rules -- they're very, very handy to get windows and apps to start and behave in a certain way by default.

I highly recommend gtk3-classic.

It's a bug when it stalls out your computer for 2-3 seconds because the file picker is doing a recursive search through all of your files.

Luckily, the patches that fix this (along with some other bugs and anti-features) are actively maintained by community members, despite being ignored by the GNOME project.

gtk3-classic will move them out of the titlebar, but if you want them completely gone you're better off switching to applications that haven't fully embraced CSDs like Gedit.

The GTK3 filechooser is the reason I switched to gtk3-classic.

Use gtk3-classic.

So, that being said, if you have issues, bugs, suggestions and apparent gripes, I would strongly recommend you file reports either with your specific distribution who is responsible for packaging menulibre (i.e. not Xfce) or [open up an issue with Menulibre directly instead of bitching about it here.

The GUI application menulibre can also be used for this process. It's in the AUR

Is this what you did to install RuneLite/get your account hacked? I've not heard of "menulibre" but upon checking its GitHub page it seems legit...

You could take some inspiration from MenuLibre or Alacarte. It would be great to see a modern alternative that follows the GNOME Design Principles and uses GTK4+libadwaita.

I also use MenuLibre to create a shortcut to stop and start PackageKit. I hope the bug gets fixed soon.

Menu Libre/ Menu Editor : Slick GUI app for editing your app icons, names etc.

You can then use MenuLibre (sudo apt install menulibre) to add a shortcut to the launcher.

The mock-up is setting up Workbench as an example of app metadata editing. Ultimately this conceptual tool works like MenuLibre but for AppStream metadata XML files (those *.appdata.xml thingies) instead of XDG desktop files.

Using Pop!_OS 21.10, everything pretty much is left as default except I am using Dash to Panel and ArcMenu. I am currently using the "Plasma" menu layout option in ArcMenu which shows apps you've pinned and allows you to view apps organized by catergory. I'm unsure what the best way to organize each of the menu categories is, however. I have used MenuLibre in the past, but I get weird behavior on Pop!_OS. Here is an example - what is shown in the "Systems Tools" category does not match what I have set via MenuLibre:
