The BEST way to make a custom launcher in KDE without adding anything extra...
Having recently switched to KDE, I found one major annoyance. That is not to say that KDE is perfect save for this one thing, but it was pretty glaring to me none the less. Favorites.
I started “pinning” applications to my “favorites” section in the KDE launcher and it didn’t take long to fill it up. In Windows 7, this is not a big deal because the launcher will just get longer to accommodate the content. Not the case with KDE. I set out to find a way to make the KDE launcher longer, to fit my most commonly used applications, but came up short and instead devised this clever way to launch apps without the aid of any 3rd party widgets.
The result is something similar to the Unity launcher or Mission Control on Mac OS X, only more granular as it contains only the software that you need. Thusly, it is much easier to use, because the things you care about are not hidden about in a sea of icons.
Ok! Lets begin.
Go ahead and launch Dolphin and browse to your home directory.
