Cardapio is a great replacement for the Ubuntu main menu

    Compact, convenient and multi-functional menu! I tried several alternatives, their speed is poor. This is not loaded with all sorts of topics, transparency and other beautiful things. It is just comfortable. I want to talk about Cardapio - an alternative main menu for Ubuntu.

    Here's how it looks: Of the main advantages it is worth noting:

    • Integration with Google search allows you to search not only applications, but also results on the Internet.
    • The ability to attach the most necessary applications at the top of the list (right click on the menu item - “Pin this item”)
    • The ability of the menu applet to be located on any panel (vertical, horizontal) and automatically resize the icon according to the size of the panel
    • The ability to easily change the name of the menu and its icon
    • Ability to resize the menu as a simple window with saving size
    • Support for add-ons (I have not found anything other than those offered in the kit)
