xfce-winxp-tc/shell/start

libstartmenu-plugin

This directory contains the source code for the Start menu XFCE panel plugin.

Installation

See the README.MD under /packaging/deb/panel for packaging and installation.

Building

Standard CMake build for the plugin:

• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
  • (if you're missing libraries they will be mentioned here)
• make

Then you must put the files in the right places in the filesystem:

• Put the compiled libstartmenu-plugin.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins (adjust for your architecture)
• Put startmenu.desktop in /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins
• Copy files under /res/* to /usr/share/winxp/shell-res (you may need to create this directory)

Of course, with subsequent builds you will need to replace libstartmenu.so in the directory specified above, if you're developing.

Keyboard Shortcut

At the moment there is no ability to open the Start menu with the super/Win key - there is an issue open for this however: #86
