How to Create the Best Launcher Yourself? - Adding Frequently Used Applications to the Launcher
Since deepin 20.9 doesn’t support adding frequently used applications, every time I want to open software, I have to spend ages searching for it... (so frustrating).
Plus, I don't like adding icons to the desktop (I'm a wallpaper enthusiast ^_^).
How to Create the Best Launcher Yourself? - Adding Frequently Used Applications to the Launcher
Since deepin 20.9 doesn’t support adding frequently used applications, every time I want to open software, I have to spend ages searching for it... (so frustrating).
Plus, I don't like adding icons to the desktop (I'm a wallpaper enthusiast ^_^).
So, let's just modify it ourselves ^_^.
Enough talking, let's get to the images!
Original Version:
Modified Version:
The deb package and source code are here:
dde-launcher-5.5.40.3.zip
To install using the deb package:
<span>sudo apt install ./dde-launcher_5.5.40.2-1_amd64.deb</span>
If you don't want to use it anymore, you can reinstall the original version:
<span>sudo apt reinstall dde-launcher</span>
Or, to install based on the source code:
<span>sudo apt edit-source</span>
Ensure
<span>src-deb</span>
is uncommented (this allows you to download the source code).<span>apt source dde-launcher</span>
<span>apt build-dep dde-launcher</span>
<span>cd dde-launcher-5.5.40.2/</span>
<span>git apply 0001-xxx.patch</span>
<span>mkdir build</span>
<span>cd build</span>
<span>cmake ..</span>
<span>make -j12</span>
<span>sudo make install</span>
After installation, restart your system or kill the
<span>dde-launcher</span>
process, and you’re done ^_^.
